Ok, what I've gathered from Pat's increasingly irrational posts is this:

1. The U.S. must begin using literacy tests to ensure the "proper" people begin voting again. Nevermind that this was one of the myriad methods used in the segregated south before the civil rights movement to suppress the black vote, we should start doing it again!

2. Going to war in Iraq when we had evidence of WMD from numerous countries was a bad idea. Going to war in North Korea when we have evidence from numerous countries that they have WMD is a good idea. We should also attack the Sudan to stop the genocide currently occurring there, even though they present no imminent threat to us. Err wait a second here, isn't one of your main arguments against Iraq that they weren't an imminent threat to the U.S.? I guess when you are a liberal its ok to take both sides of an issue, as long as you're attacking George Dubya!

3. People are unemployed because there are greedy, oppressive rich people, and because George Bush is in office. To fix the economy, we should raise taxes and give more money to poor people who don't work and produce nothing for the economy. Wait, isn't wealth redistribution also known as socialism? When has that ever led to a successful economy? You also think that the president is somehow responsible for "outsourcing". Quote "I'm referring to American jobs that the President takes away, sends overseas, hires a foreigner, and then pays them 25 % of what the American worker would get here." Yes Pat, the President has control over who companies choose to give jobs to. Aren't you were taking an economics course?

4. The president has control over all aspects of the U.S. government. He controls intelligence gathering, he votes on laws passed in congress, in fact he probably controls the weather! How does a man that is so stupid manage to control all of this? That's the liberal paradox I suppose. Everyone in the republican party is stupid, yet they control everything and cheat the democrats out of power.

Well, there are Pat's views in a nutshell. Do they make sense to anyone else?
1.) I said the US should have quizzes on canidates, so the voters know more about them.

2.) I don't want to go to war with ANY country. I said that if I had to pick between Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, it would've been North Korea. What do you mean I want to attack Sudan? I want our forces to HELP Sudan. I could careless about Bush's view on Sudan. The only Senator I heard bring it up was Kerry. I've heard no one else.

3.) The President IS responsible for outsourcing. He can push to pass acts in congress for either MORE or LESS outsourcing and either increasing OR decreasing tariffs on American businesses that ship jobs overseas.

4.) I find your ignorance amazing. You're the only one in this thread who has to talk about one person being a liberal and one a conservative. Even DJ and I haven't said anything about that. It doesn't matter if you're a liberal or conservative, a Democrat or Republican, everyone has a different opinion on everything and you seem to be one of the lone riders in this thread who refuses to read what they don't want to see or face. -Pat
