    Thanks for posting this.

    Mark answered the first point quite properly - no sand required.  You just have to look at the historic deficits that Republicans and Conservatives have piled up to know that deficit financing isn't necessarily what "the left" automatically does.  To say otherwise is dishonest.
    As for honesty in politics, I am paraphrasing what Orwell said.  I truly do think that there are honest politicians who are in public service for all the right reasons and to think otherwise is too cynical a viewpoint for me to stay interested in politics.  The cause/result you suggest is too puzzling for me to ponder or reply to because it's kind of insane.
    Question about free speech:  Do you support the right of someone to walk up to a person of colour and call them the n-word?

    These are the words of someone who seems overly defensive about their position.  I never jump to that hyperbole, but there are plenty of admitted nazis and neo-nazi's to go around.

    Fair enough.
    Tyrion yes, but Greyworm's love story is over and I don't expect he'll have any significance (nor should he) in the finale.
    And for those who might mention Jon Snow - all I can say is that Jon Snow is the Rick Grimes of GOT.

    Truth Czar is going to have to put in for OT.  But Ill play along because I dont think you have earned to right to insult and belittle people and maliciously obscure narratives.
    You brought up free speech.  I CLEARLY (and repeatedly) explained that I dont think people should be able to blatantly post falsehoods as if they are facts.  Its akin to arguing that Laine sucks because he's only 5'6" and cant score.  No one would put up with that repeatedly.
    But, to be fair, when you dont understand a post I make, you are welcome to politely ask for clarification.  As for the rest of the quote, again, you belittle and insult which really exposes that even you think your position is weak sauce.

    More facts needed: every government runs deficits.  Gary Doer’s NDP in Manitoba ran a balanced budget. Harper ran numerous deficits, even with a majority. 
    My point: It’s better to ask why a government ran deficits, rather than making broad statements about them.

    Popular = more ppl voted for her. She won the popular vote. There is no yeah but... Its not yeah but.

    But WTF is the relevance in talking Hillary Clinton.. Shes not the one ******* Americans in the ass daily.

    that's just so wrong, on so many levels.  My "boi" Orwell would have a problem with that way of thinking.

    "It should be noted that there is now no intelligentsia that is not in some sense “Left”. Perhaps the last right-wing intellectual was TE Lawrence."  George Orwell. 
    TE Lawrence died in 1935, so it kind of makes sense that the right would need a socialist's writings to appropriate as they can't find any intelligent life in their own circles.
    Can't wait to hear the Chomsky stuff now.

    Liz Warren- so awesome.
    Dems need to follow her lead... she's for impeachment and is still able to get the Democratic messaging out on making things work for the poor and middle class... it's like walking and chewing bubble gum for her.

    Cuz hate speech is protected by the first amendment? And I personally don't think it should be.

    I think Orwell would be extremely disappointed with both sides of the ledger in the US right now.  Just as I think Tommy Douglas would weep if he saw what happened to his dream of affordable Canadian health care.  And sorry, but if you think your "boi" would be cool with far lefties wanting to see the First Amendment abolished, then you haven't thoroughly studied Animal Farm.

    I'm suggesting that the right might want a different author in their corner than Orwell as I'm sure he'd have a lot to say about it if he were alive today.
    You can use all the Anne Coulter you want, but if you want to leverage my boi, you better read this first.
    “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.”

    First off. I have never seen hate speech on these forums- I mainly  credit the posters on this forum for that (classy folks that you guys are) And to the mods for clearing up the occasional one that gets thrown out there. 
     
    And secondly ewwww no-  Johnathan Pie is an ******* who makes excuses for people to be assholes, no thanks. He's vile. He's.... the opposite of a virtue signaller ... a vice-signaller.

    "Freedom of expression in Canada is not absolute; Section 1 of the Charter allows the government to pass laws that limit free expression so long as the limits are reasonable and can be justified in a free and democratic society."
     
    Yeah, you can't just say anything here in Canada. Hate speech is not free speech.
    not saying you are spouting hate speech- just saying we don't enshrine free speech like the USA does.
    and Yeah, that's the thing no one does have to listen to stuff I don't agree with.
     one can say whatever They want (to a certain extent) but another does not have to listen to it.
