    So you're asserting that Nixon was a Socialist, right?

    Complete BS.

    According to Matthew White's "The Great Big Book of Horrible Things" (note White is no friend of religion), all the known religious killings in history have killed about 47 million people.

    All the people killed by communist regimes has totaled (at minimum) 67 million people.

    So communists by numbers alone in less than a century have a vastly higher death toll than all the religions in world history for thousands upon thousands of years.

    Can you please show me any price controls in Scandinavia? You know, that group of "socialist" countries who seem to always do so well. Hell, the wing nuts love to call Canada socialist so clearly Canada must have everything under price controls.

    Or, you know, you could just admit you are wrong.

    From the standpoint of domestic policies (which Nixon himself had very little to do with, farming it out to his aides while he focused on becoming a peacemaker so his devout Quaker mother would love him again) Nixon was extremely liberal by most standards.

    Yes. Yes. That is exactly what I am asserting. Not only that, he was also Grand Emperor of Socialism. Not many people know this but now you do, girl.

    You can't possibly be this stupid.

    Scandinavia - and Canada for that matter - have markets that operate based on capitalism and merely have socialist characteristics like high taxes and extensive welfare systems. They're "social-ish".

    I mean that's pretty basic stuff Dinner.

    Meanwhile China, Venezuela and Eastern Bloc ex Soviet territories all engaged at one point in price controls. Look it up.

    Exactly my point, jack ass.

    Ok, we will just chalk you up as another one who does not understand the difference between socialism and communism. For the record, no. Price controls are not common under socialism. You are just wrong on that.

    Socialism is communism with a smile and a lower body count (for now).

    Pretty much out of self-preservation. Pollution was becoming a major concern of the people, who demanded action be taken. For him to have not created the EPA, or something liker it, would have amounted to political suicide.

    And to this day, to some extent -- many states require that utility rates be approved by a state board.

    When the Cuyahoga River caught on fire, that was pretty hard to ignore. :yes:

    But today's Republicans would claim river-fire is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

    Are you sure it's on fire? Maybe it's just a mirage! Why are you afraid to teach the controversy?

    I have to agree with the guy. You could apply it to all people, but in the context of the US and law enforcement here he is right that you need to expect retaliation for this sort of things. If you look at how police have changed their tactics over the years to deal with events like riots we see they proceed with the same expectation this guy has. They used to not shoot first, and they used to not immediately handcuff people. Frisking used to be rare for a traffic stop. Just the way they are trained to approach your car comes from cops getting shot. This guy is not saying anything the police already do not say to each other. You treat people like crap and you can expect a certain amount of them to retaliate violently. This is why we have riot outfitted cops come to deal with peaceful protesters. When you are going to mace people and start walking down the streets hearding them with batons and shields you better damn well expect a proportion of them to respond violently. When you go out there and constantly destroy black lives with arrests and confiscations you are going to have a number of them who feel they have nothing left to lose but kill.

    They can say it is wrong, but if people always did the right thing we would not have police and laws to begin with. This guy is just stating an obvious point that the wannabe tough white supremists do not like hearing. You needed militias way back when and now you need to hold onto your guns and hide because the blacks are armed and you know that gives them a choice whether or not to shoot you in the face. After doing all this treating them like shit I would not rely on the better nature of their people to win out all the time. I would have thought they would have started killing whitey for a chance a long time ago. People like federal fuckup should pray to the altar of MLK because that non-violence talk had to do something.

    Hey, free fire. The poor people can warm themselves.

    Actually if they thought that they would probably want to put it out sooner because we would not want to give the poor free fire. I could hear Bill O now whining about the moochers warming themselves and cooking their food on a free toxic fire. "That is our poisonous cancerous fire you fucking moochers. Go light your plastic bootstraps on fire and cook over them if you want to die from lung disease and carcinogens. That fucking Obama giving the poor fire. This is the first step in his plan to make us all commies. " Then you would have the traitorous oathbreakers from the bundy ranch guarding the river and claiming the federal government was stealing their polluted fire by taking rivers from the people who owned them.

    yes, because the EPA manufactures things, not private companies. If the EPA is so bad please go to china.
