Ohio Man arrested for planning ISIS-Inspired Mass Shootings

Whether or not the party ever got around to suggesting such a Bill they sure supported flogging them in public amongst other punishments and humiliation like banning them from working anywhere once exposed. You really are deluded if you're going to deny Sharia Law is the epitome of conservative culture and Republican ideals. 1. If some republicans have personally supported these things in the past, this doesn't mean they are 'republican values'. Although I've yet to find any supporting evidence for such claims. 2. You are conflating 'conservative' and 'Republican', as well as misusing the term 'conservative'. 3. Conservative just means a person with a desire to prevent social change. It isn't an indication of any particular ideology. 4. Being a conservative in an Islamist country means something very different from being a conservative in 19th century America. I personally consider myself a liberal in the original meaning of the word. I'm a conservative on most issues but progressive on others, and there is no contradiction here whatsoever. You're the one abusing semantics to avoid admitting an awkwardly hypocritical truth about the right-wing conservatives hating Islam in many nations. I couldn't give a shit though, go ahead and think that Republicans aren't conservative and that it simply means what bullshit definition you assign it, in order to pussyfoot your way out of this awkward situation. Semantics is the most important issue here. Abusing semantics is a precursor to abusing logic, as has been demonstrated by the so-called 'left'. Like I've already said, 'right-wing conservative' does not say a whole lot about political ideology. Political right anf left are an artifact created by socialist ideology. A liberal can be right-leaning on some issues and left-leaning on others. Things like Sharia Law are 100% anti-liberal, so a true liberal would be considered progressive by Islamists. OK, so can you identify my political ideology using your simplistic approach ? I am in favor of classical liberalism, and so I support women's voting rights. But I consider LGBT activism to be an affront to true liberalism, so I'm conservative on this issue and against gay marriage. However I don't think homosexuality should be criminalized, so according to your one-dimentional classification, I'm progressive on this issue. I support freedom of enterprise and free trade, so I'm a right-leaning 'capitalism'. But I also support progressive tax and rehabilitation programs for the poor/homeless. So according to you I'm 'left-leaning'. Libertarians AKA Classic Libs are not at all like Republicans on social issues. They admitted this by making their own party the Libertarian Party in the US but also in other cultures by having their own thing. In UK it was UKIP, in Canada they have their weirdo Right-Wing Libertarian type candidates and party too. You can support that but stop calling yourself Republican, the fact Ron Paul went back and forth and has ended as Republican is sad and highlights a problem with 2-party politics for sure but stop playing into it and admit that the party is founded on the Conservative type, not your type of right-winger. You can support that but stop calling yourself Republican This is impossible to do, because I've never called myself Republican. and admit that the party is founded on the Conservative type Like I've said, 'Conservative' is a misleading term. American Republicans are conservative by American standards. They would be called progressive or 'liberal' in any Islamist country. That's exactly the reason why comparing them to Sharia is a fallacy. The Republican party does not seem to have a certain well-defined ideology. For the left, a statement about one Repub is a statement about all of them. And by the left's standard of logic, statements like yours would provide a venue for contructing BS like 'Donald Trump supports Sharia law' and even "Anyone defending Donald Trump on any issue supports Sharia law'. The truth is, there is a similarity between Sharia law and the left's grotesque misrepresentation of modern American anti-PC conservative culture. 1

I mean I know they make you drink the Kool-Aid over there Over where? You still have no idea where I'm writing this from. In my country, everything you fantacise about 'Trump' and 'capitalism' is actual reality. In ways you would never have dreamed imaginable. You need to live here for a few years, that will make you stop bitching about how fascist America is. but do you not get some sort of an inkling about what's going on when you see old videos of Germans from the 1930s Erm..no, I'm not a fan of the army that laid waste to half my country and killed millions of civilians. 0

The Republican party does not seem to have a certain well-defined ideology. Then you are stupid. Let me explain to you what its well-defined ideology is. Let me explain to you what its well-defined ideology is As per usual, the link you've provided as "evidence" proves the exact opposite of your claim. Fascism is definitely not a well-defined ideology. Of course, this also has nothing to to with the topic being discussed, but I understand you need to insert the word 'fascism' into any and every discussion. Then you are stupid In light of the above, you're not eligible to pass judgement such issues. 2

As per usual, the link you've provided as "evidence" proves the exact opposite of your claim. No it doesn't. As per usual, you are making a complete pack of lies up as you go along. Nothing on that page proves that Republicans have not veered toward and into textbook fascism, so you are talking complete and utter baloney. Fascism is definitely not a well-defined ideology Weird how it's in the dictionary then, huh? Weird how there's an in-depth 10,000 word Wikipedia article on it which I just linked for your dumb ass. In light of the above, you're not eligible to pass judgement such issues' In light of you being more stupid than a packet of cheese slices, your opinion is worth less than a plea of sanity from John Travolta. 1

Do you really? Yeah, I do. I eat things that I kill and I eat things that other people killed. I do this with plants as well as animals. I don’t feel bad about it. I also kill pests, but I typically don’t eat those. Sometimes I kill things on accident while driving. I do feel bad when that happens though. I almost certainly kill lots of things on accident while walking, but I can’t say I feel bad about it since I’m unaware of it happening. Also, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest if any of this makes you feel superior. Nothing on that page proves that Republicans have not veered toward and into textbook fascism You seem to have an attention span of a 5 year-old. I wasn't making the wierd negational statement about Republicans that you have for some reason abscribed to me. (On a side note, of course Republicans haven't 'veered toward and into textbook fascism', there' s no need to even deny such an idiotic fantasy.) I was saying that your wiki artictle proves that fasicm is not a well-defined ideology. If you cared to read the article itself and not just quantify the number of words in it, you would (probably) understand what I'm talking about. Although I'm starting to seriously doubt your sanity at this point. Weird how there's an in-depth 10,000 word Wikipedia article on it which I just linked for your The article goes out of it's way to emphasise the amount of controversy around the definition of fascism, and lists several definitions form different sources. That's not what is usually understood by 'well-defined'. In light of you being more stupid than a packet of cheese slices Once again you're conflating fact and fantasy. your opinion is worth less than a plea of sanity from John Travolta. LOL, sou you've abused him too, with your retardedness? I wonder how that went. 1

Just because yours is different to theirs doesn't mean it isn't the same overall system. Sharia Law is actually more true to its own Constitution(s) based on the Qur'an and Hadith even more so than the US is true to its own Constitution. US is less Republican than Sharia nations are. |
