What Makes People Vote Republican?
Can you be a bit more specific. Eugenics can be anything from something good to paranoid cries of wolf to actual dangerous ideas and policies.

Xenon is an extreme leftist. Probably the farthest-left on WP, ignoring the actual Marxists.
Good to know,
I disagree. The right-wingers I have encountered are much more willing to submit to authoritarian measures in the bogus name of "security." Left-wingers are more consistently opposed to censorship and other civil rights abuses, even willing to oppose their own political representatives on those issues.
I think Juan Williams is a perfect example as to how you are wrong in that assertation. The left is only for free speech when they agree with it.
Quite easily. I know several people farther left than Moore. And of course anyone who is actually a socialist or communist would be much farther left than Moore.
Isn't Moore a socialist or a communist? He advocates for it quite often.
Okay just stop cause the facts put everything you've said into an entirely different perspective.
Concerning the Book: The only book I can think of that Conservatives were going after recently was a book for pedophiles that was basically how to molest children and get away with it.
Liberals want every book by Beck, Hannity, Lindbaugh, O'Reilly, etc. to be banned. Further they want Fox News and talk radio shut down via the Government.
Concerning Torture: Conservatives are actually against torture, however there are instances where the situation gets a little fuzzy. If you had the choice between breaking a terrorists face and another 9/11 style attack only it has a WMD with it. What would you choose to do?
Wiretaps: First you are not telling the entire truth, the wiretapped phones were in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. when they called phones in the United States, you're saying the CIA should just hang up until after the phone call? It wasn't wiretapping phones in the United States and monitoring domestic to domestic calls without a warrant.
As far as keeping Terrorists we've caught on the battlefield locked up: Excuse me we are at war, we didn't let Japanese or German Prisoners go free during World War II. I'm all for military tribunals, but not civilian because you can't mirandize people on a battlefield with people shooting at you.
One thing Obama has authorized that Bush never did was assassinating American Citizens, as Dox47 has already pointed out.

He said that lower classes were "breeding" too much. That's what this Tory Lord said and that's what Sir Keith Joseph said... the lower class breeding would weaken the gene pool... that's what these people say.
Remember.... Sir Keith Joseph, the Mad Monk, was the Godfather of Thatcherism.

^That's about what he meant and he isn't wrong.

Genetically superior? Not likely. Culturally superior? Depends but it's more likely.

In Capitalism: A Love Story, it looked like Michael Moore was holding up workers' communes as exemplars of workplace democracy. He was using the word democracy as a synonym for socialism. I'm not going to say voluntary cooperatives are a bad thing—I think they're great—but Michael Moore doesn't use the actual word socialism since that word is so shot in our culture.
As much as I loathe Fox News and commentators like Glenn Beck, I would not want the government to shut them down precisely because I do value freedom of speech and press; I'd rather see their propaganda defeated through information and a better fact-distribution network on the Left. I sometimes get the distinct impression that some on the Right perceive politics as all-out war by other means and would happily ban political dissent if they could. The Right has a way of enforcing a peculiarly rigid orthodoxy even on itself.
So I guess what's good for the goose is good for the gander. You wouldn't be offended if you were called a grumpy old man or a teabagger?
See, this is why I qualified my statement as "many on the left" rather than simply "leftists" or "liberals"; because I know that they are not a homogeneous block of people with identical viewpoints and opinions but rather a diverse group of individuals with unique sets of positions that may share a few commonalities. While Neanthumain wants to improve his own party's ability to get their message out, other people of similar political persuasion like to make menacing comments about bringing back the fairness doctrine and muse about other ways of suppressing their ideological opponent's message through the application of other statutes regulating political speech; neither approach is universal among Leftists and I think that's an important distinction.
An affliction unfortunately not confined tot he political Right, I just think they're a bit better at it is all.

Just for fun...:
“There’s a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: ‘Out. Off. End. Goodbye.’ It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future.”

Yeah, they guard our liberties about as well as a thief guards a bank.
