Socialist! Communist! Marxist! Leninist! Maoist! Statist!



For a guy who doesn't like to be labeled you sure don't hesitate to do some fancy labeling yourself.

For a guy who complains about divisiveness you sure don't mind being divisive.

For a guy who claims to value bipartisanship you sure act partisan.

I think there is a name for this disorder you seem to have.....

Pure, unfiltered "Voices in his head".

Mark Ward said...

So, how exactly is this not accurate? Both of you have touted everything in this graphic which makes your reaction inexplicable. It's almost as if you are embarrassed by your ideology. That's not my problem.

Heh, you can always tell what types of articles or pictures will make Mark swoon. As he's just jerking himself off here rather than looking for any sort of reasoned argument, this seems appropriate:

It actually applies to just about everything Mark says about the right, doesn't it?

GuardDuck said...

Uhhhmmm, no.

And that is a perfect example of 'a voice in your head'.

Class dismissed. Report on why Mark is a partisan hack due tomorrow.

A. Noni Mouse said...

There fixed it for you.

And Mark, GD is exactly right. We have NOT touted everything in that graphic. Those claims are as similar to our actual positions as a straw man is to an actual human being. (Which is why the name of the logical fallacy you used AGAIN is called "Straw Man". Why the hell can't you learn that this means it's as illogical as trying to hit a sunbeam with a baseball bat?)

That you are unable to accurately address actual arguments by actual people (us) is where the whole "Voices In Your Head" description came from in the first place. And with this fatuous, demonizing, "bearing false witness" (that's the 9th Commandment, BTW) graphic, you once again demonstrate your complete inability to understand what we have tried so hard to explain to you.

Haplo9 said...

Eh - trying to explain what "Voices In Your Head" means to him is a waste of time. It's been done multiple times by multiple people. Mark either doesn't care or purposefully misunderstands. Can't teach someone who refuses to learn.

Mark Ward said...

Well, these are nice comments but they didn't answer my question. How is the gun in the graphic, for example, not illustrative of your ideology? The cross? The dollar sign? The Confederate Flag?

I've shown how socialism (the actual definition as opposed to the paranoid one) isn't in my ideology. It stifles innovation. So, one would think one of you could explain how what GD deemed a similar accusation could be shown to also be in error.

I've shown how socialism (the actual definition as opposed to the paranoid one) isn't in my ideology.

Sure you did… except for the part about actually looking at the definition of socialism and comparing that definition to your ideology; and in a thread where Obama's ideology was the topic under discussion, not yours. (Or are you claiming they're one and the same?)

Wasting our time explaining explaining the differences One More Time is not going to help you understand them any better than the last 3,974 attempted explanations.

Why are you so damned intent on Wasting Our Time?

>How is the gun in the graphic, for example, not illustrative of your ideology? The cross? The dollar sign? The Confederate Flag?

In other words: Mark doesn't have to explain why things we've said make his accusations accurate, we have to explain why his accusations aren't accurate for him. Like I said, apply this to all subjects:

http://twitpic.com/hg0gm

and we have Mark's MO. Anyway - back to your regularly scheduled wanking. Keep that bubble secure!

Easy - I did not tout everything (or even more than one thing) in that graphic.

There. Proved.

Your move to retract.

Mark Ward said...

So no cross, dollar sign or confederate flag for you, GD? At least you admit to the gun:)

Wasting our time explaining explaining the differences One More Time

Really, Noni, this graphic is more applicable to you than anyone else. I'll grant the cross doesn't apply to folks like juris but you and a very large amount of the base are this graphic. I just don't get how you are embarrassed about it and are now running away from it after so much boasting support.

GuardDuck said...

Mark,

"this graphic"?


This graphic is the graphic that you posted. The graphic that you posted is NOT just the left most portion of the image that displays, among other things, a cross and does so without additional comment.

The graphic that YOU posted also includes the accompanying 'editorial' portions that explain that the creator of the graphic (and probably you also as a re-poster) considers the inclusion of the 'cross' does not simply imply 'Christianity'. As noted in that editorial section - this graphic considers the inclusion of the cross to represent "religious "zealots"".

Now - since I've had to explain the meaning of your own post to you - do you still wish to accuse Noni of being a religious zealot?

Do you still wish to accuse me of touting the greedy rich or racial purity?

If you do, then you need to come up with a quote showing where we have actually 'touted' these things.

A. Noni Mouse said...

Mark,

In the past, your definition of "religious zealot" is someone who wants to turn the United States into a theocracy. I have actually argued against such a move, in part because I agree with James Madison that doing such a thing is a horrible idea. That was in the Jefferson thread.

Those Voices In Your Head™ are so loud you can't actually understand what actual human beings try to explain to you.

Congrats, that is now the single most retarded question you have ever posed.

By the way M, you might notice that you don't have the Yippee Little Dog Posse backing up your rampant stupidity anymore. Or did it just get to be too much work keeping up that pretense?
