Republicans want to split farm bill

[cawacko]

Darla's conservative??????

SF I'd put as reactionary, myself.

tekkychick, how do you differentiate between a conservative and a reactionary? Since I know tone can be difficult to determine on the internet I'm not asking this as a rhetorical question or trying to set up some gotcha question I'm just curious to understand. Any why do you believe SF to be a reactionary?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Well #1. You're not a conservative you're a reactionary and #2. You haven't defended the actions of House Republicans yet. Are you defending their actions on the farm bill?

yes....both cutting $20 billion from crop subsidies and cutting $20 billion from food stamps......

SF has just been so obdurant in some threads, so that's why I put him in the reactionary side. To me, a true conservative would be willing to listen, not troll, and, even if I disagree with them, at least we can be civil and understand where the other is coming from. And, at times, we might slightly convince one another.

Not saying it's a right or wrong definition, just my own personal way of slicing and dicing.

It's possible there are threads where SF takes the liberal position or is willing to discuss things and I've just missed them.

This is not an all inclusive list but;

You, SF, Grind, Damo, Top Spin (aka The Dude), Classic Liberal, Leaningright, Threedee, Winterborn, Socrates and of course Darla.

How is the illiterate pothead a conservative? He's not even a conservatard!

That's a wrong definition. A reactionary is a person who holds a political viewpoint that favors a return to a previous state. A conservative is a person who believes in the current status quo and opposes change to the status quo. SF fits the later defintion more so than the former where as PiMP is a bona fide reactionary.

You're confusing SF's conservatism with his being an asshole.

He doesn't burn you enough. Only a true conservative would do that. A true liberal would burn you like a hickery stump.

does this apply to "true" liberals as well.....if so we don't have any here.....

I can accept that.

Well last I heard.....and correct me if I'm wrong here but Farmer's grow food and, coincidently, poor people just happen to need food to eat. Imagine that?

I don't think it is just poor people who need food to eat.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

I don't think it is just poor people who need food to eat.

Well duh....give me a break Damo. You know I was being sarcastic.
