BADoglick 08/03/18 12:51:11 AM #5:	Freedom isn't free! I'm kidding, our government feeds us jingoistic propaganda that we eat up like morons, which allows them to rob us and transfer our income to the wealthy. We terrorize other nations in the process, destabilizing the world in order to perpetuate infinite war. It's a lot of the reason why I advocate libertarianism. I don't believe in my income being taken for those purposes, therefore it could be argued that it is tantamount to theft. I also don't believe in ever being the initial aggressor in any given situation. The left has never really been opposed to war. Obama pretended to be a peace candidate and then dropped more bombs than any President in history. Clinton didn't even bother hiding it in her campaign. Bernie's anti war rhetoric made me hopeful he'd win, even if I had other disagreements with him. I guess I went on a bit of a tangent. I'm just vehemently opposed to the military industrial complex and I'm tired of the two major parties both supporting it for the most part. --- BADoglick to the Max! <cite>BADoglick posted [p:906183233] in Military B...

I also don't believe in ever being the initial aggressor in any given situation. The left has never really been opposed to war. Obama pretended to be a peace candidate and then dropped more bombs than any President in history. Clinton didn't even bother hiding it in her campaign. Bernie's anti war rhetoric made me hopeful he'd win, even if I had other disagreements with him. @Zeus because apparently I can't html >Claims to be libertarian >Roots for Bernie If you're against excessive taxation, income redistribution, and bigger government, Bernie is last candidate you want to support. It's kind of like how somebody who claims to want to turn this nation into an anti-white, anti-male hugbox wouldn't support Donald Trump. Bernie's whole existence is to make other candidates look more palatable by comparison. Ben Carson wants to replace income tax with a tithe? Well, at least's not Bernie Sanders! Carly Fioriana's foreign policy suggestion is to ignore Russia? Well, she still knows more about foreign policy than Bernie Sanders despite Sanders working his whole life in politics! Ted Cruz wants to abolish the IRS and replace it with something that sounds a lot like the IRS? Well, better him than Bernie. Hell, I never thought I'd vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries -- given her history with corruption, questionable foreign policy practices, etc (although otherwise I thought she could work across party lines, which is what the nation needs) -- but fuck, Bernie made Hillary look amazing by comparison. </quote> Way to reading comprehension. I clearly stated that I have disagreements with him. I think free college is unrealistic and inefficient, I disagree with excessive taxation, and his anti voter ID opinions are silly at best. But if he legalized pot, shrunk the military budget, and passed sweeping criminal justice reform, he would still be considerably better than the rest of the other realistic candidates.</quote> ...
