"significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."
That's just false, but it usually resolves itself with the execution of losing bureaucrats by the same arm that represses minor political parties...so it is more efficient argument...
Just noticed the author correctly addressed the plural nemesis of evil doctors

"Kemp if you are so educated you would have known that there is no one paper or research that can "prove" that the global warming is man made. This is however the consensus when you view the worlds scientists as a whole and it is thus the most backed up hypothesis and most credible one."
No. It is equally credible that a "consensus" of scientists have rallied around an inadequate hypothesis for the operation of global climate, and are now putting SOCIAL pressure on all critics of this inadequate paradigm to produce a compelling alternative paradigm or STFU about the creaky holes in the fallacious paradigm. Thomas Kuhn wrote about the asymmetric nature of science over 40 years ago.

hey wait a minute, does this mean the SuperVolcano could not only coat 35 states with 10 feet of ash and volcanic glass pebbles, it might also rain burning oil?

Drilling and refining petroleum is more important than declaring the prairie as it is now is the way our great grandkids must see it. Let's get up to 90% petroleum self-sufficiency

>>2. Homosexuals deserve to be punished for backstabbing sex workers after they won their important legal battles.<<
If I could only see Bill Clinton use that as a defense for signing Defense of Marriage Act into law, I would die fulfilled
i mean just imagine him squinting and wagging his finger "Just a minute...you betrayed a LOT of hard-working American women...now if you'll excuse me I have to go back to work"
So was George Hebert Walker Bush puking into the lap of the Prime Minister of Japan. Never seen a President do that one before or since

"...52. Domestic partnerships lack the social meaning associated with marriage, and marriage is widely regarded as the definitive expression of love and commitment in the United States.
...54. The availabilty of domestic partnership does not provide gays and lesbians with a status equivalent to marriage because the c ultural meaning of marriage and its associated benefits are intentionally withheld from same-sex couples in domestic partnerships.
...68. Proposition 8 results in frequent reminders for gays and lesbians in committed long-term relationships that their relationships are not as highly valued as opposite-sex relationships.
...77. Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians.

Each of these "findings of fact" used to decree that gay marriage must be lawful, refers to how people other than a gay couple, feel about homosexual marriage. The judge (who just happens to be gay) decreed that gay couples are entitled to the respect and cultural legitimacy accorded to heterosexual marriage.
In other words, it's ENTIRELY a matter of what other people think about you.
BTW I look forward to a federal lawsuit by Justin Bieber to compel the same "cultural legitimacy and respect" to "Baby Baby Baby Whoa" as Mendehlsson's Wedding March. I mean since the federal district courts are ladling that out, why not grab some?
PPS You know, no matter who you are, no matter what you do, there's somebody somewhere preaching you're gonna burn as an enemy of God. I guess I should sue them.
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;
let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,
for evil finds lodging among them.
16 As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.

I've decided that since no interUS flight lasts longer than a root canal, passengers should be forced into locked rooms, strip, put on airport-issued scrubs, seal their personal effects, then get strapped into a wheelchair and sedated, and transported unconscious.
Not only would this prevent active terrorism - since you can't hide a time bomb inside people undetectably - but it would save the airlines millions in movies, drinks, food, bathrooms, and comfy chairs. You could also stack passengers on top of each other.
I need another of these, the white bulb burnt out on mine

""Your response was to insist that Libertarianism is justified without regard to the facts."
Which of course I never said. And you refuse to discuss facts."
right here
""What Justinian I thinks of "established morality" is irrelevant insofar as Libertarian principles/ideals don't necessarily require a basis in reality." - V Kemp, page 2
All of my posts were to show that your philosophy does not work, and is contrary to the spirit and practices of American reform throughout history.
Your response was to insist that Libertarianism is justified without regard to the facts.
GAME OVER no discussion of facts can prove or disprove such a philosophy. It is not, by definition, a practical political viewpoint.
Once you got hit with that, you swerve into bitching about the way it all went down. I don't give a damn what your scorecard says chump, who's up on points is irrelevant when one guy is kissing the mat in the 6th
Your last substantive post was to complain that I could not really challenge libertarianism by alluding to facts, because libertarianism is not anchored in reality. Once you admitted that you lost 99% of the audience.
For some time, your answer to my posts was that I was beating a strawman and making false comparisons. Of course this is completely incompatible with random, unconnected and unclear posts of irrelevant facts. You understood my point well enough to complain it didn't apply to you. Now on page 3, having admitted that you can't refute attacks by appealing to any record of human experience and must rely on thoughts and dreams, you complain that its time I restate the whole thread.
Go back and read the thread.
If you have nothing but complaints that I'm off your script, save them. I'm not obliged to offer a political philosophy devoid of practical facts and I won't spare you arguments that your system doesn't work and isn't anything like what has worked. I'm not going to accept your direction.
You first. Go ahead and explain the clear principles that I failed to understand. I'll admit to being confused, because I thought you were expressing a political philosophy rooted in reality, that could be challenged on real world application. Apparently not. Apparently you're spouting high-falutin ideas to which history is "irrelevant" and complaining about that is "incoherent". I admit that squatting behind a tree and bitching that everybody is out to get you, nobody understands you, and you're bummed about it is an acceptable debate style -- check the career of Michel Foucault -- but it isn't widely used online.
Europe should be occupied and managed for the benefit of its peoples in trust for the day when they are capable of self-government
also we need markets for our manufactured goods and raw materials to hold off other industrialized nations
so now we're gonna argue whether I stated what my point was or not? People can read the thread and see for themselves
I guess you win, I concede your philosophy is not based in reality
i spammed your philosophy with real world examples?
