I'm not against free speech by any means. I'm against people talking out of their asses about things they know nothing about.

Sure, but couldn't that be said about a large percentage of our elected officlals at any level?
Unfortunately, you don't have to really understand a subject to think you do and comment on it.
The really sad thing is that some of them have the opportunity to actually learn about things, don't, and then make idiots of themselves anyway.

I'd certainly agree with that statement. I think that most of our elected officials are woefully uninformed on many subjects.

Sorry, I was editing my last comment while you were posting yours, but I don't think it changes anything.

I think that State Legislatures should be muli-party and membership in any political party should disquallify someone from serving in the U.S. Congress. Then there would never be totalitarism here.
Think about it, in a two-party system, you're only one away from totalitarism.

You're going to have to explain your logic to me.
As long as there are at least two parties, there will be someone to vote for.
That's not true in a totalitarian system as I would define it.

Yeah, but my point is, what if something bad happend to one of them? Like the Democrats got together at their meeting and found out their orginization is bankrupt, and they disband as a party.
That leaves the other major party with total control.
I wouldn't want either of these two parties to be the only one.

Honestly, you don't humor, impress, or make anyone feel sorry for you because you act like a complete dolt on greekchat and make inane remarks. There is no way you could be that much of a boob so why do you keep posting like that?

Glad you finally had enough in you to talk to me directly.
I don't care if you find humor in my posts and I don't need anyone's sympathy.
I call the world like I see it, and I make more sense than you do. You are a Jewish neo-fascist, and no one can even understand that. Do society a favor and go jump off a building.
I will continue to say what ever I feel needs to be said.
If you have a problem with that, well then I already said it. Fuck you.

If you're going to continue to make statements in the forum, you should at least realize that people are going to question them. The attitude by some posters that their ideas or thoughts are beyond debate is, simply, very confusing.
Honestly, you should probably take a step back, calm down a bit, and realize that threatening people on a message board isn't going to accomplish much of anything.
On the topic - it bothers me when celebrities get on political soapboxes, but it is certainly their right to do so. It's also our right to question their knowledge and intelligence when they make their claims.

I don't agree with the rest of his post, but I don't get what's to debate about the part that was quoted.
We only have (2) two (major) political parties, and if you take (1)one away (=)you get (1)totalitarianism. 2-1=1 What's so hard about that? Yes, it's unlikely that either party would take a dive, but theoretically, it could happen. I believe that's what his point was.

You may want to look up the neofascist movement, specifically with regard to:
1 - why the inherent 'nationalism' of the Judaic faith probably precludes 'fascism' from being used correctly
and
2 - why the combination of 1. and the historical interaction of Jews with fascists makes the term 'neofascist Jew' a political slur, if not worse
