why do all liberals ... ( 11 months ago by skahtay16)

why do all liberals call free market evil and horrible and socialism as the right way? socialism is essencially communism and we all know what the problems with communism is right? if not go look at any world history book. my point is that any social system is not going to be flawless and absolutely perfect. free market does have is bad sides but you can be damn well sure that socialism has more that its fair share of its own faults

Andrew Sullivan is a liar.
Google ''Andrew Sullivan Chomsky'' and klick on the first link (a link to Chomskys website). After you've read that you'll loose ALL your respect for Andrew Sullivan. He truly is a liar. I certainly don't agree with Chomsky's opinions, but I certainly don't think it's honest lying about what othe
r people think, while they have no oppurtunity in answering. That's what Sullivan did.

And Sullivan hasn't even answered any mail on the subject yet.

I read his book "The Conservative Soul".. I highly recommend it.. part philosophy, politics and even a bit poetic.

The argument you ... ( 7 months ago by socctty)

The argument you are making is called a "scarecrow" market. You state that your opposition has a position and then blast them for that. Surely some liberals embrace socialism, but it isn't communism. And nevertheless, those are loaded terms. As far as free markets go, I don't see anyone advocating we get rid of them. Free markets are essentially economic democracies. Of course, the government DOES have to set the framework to ensure they aren't economic anarchies.

Andrew Sullivan is ... ( 6 months ago by libertymad)

Andrew Sullivan is dead right. We all know the guy is a bit of a hypocrite (a conservative who in the 90s supported many liberal causes, a man who preaches responsibility while engaging in dangerous sexual behaviour). However, what he says in the book makes perfect sense. I too hope that the Republican party will recover its soul.

I think he reaches ... ( 1 month ago by Arthur67)

I think he reaches the issue on a more fundamental level. One of his essential elements is that the expression "conservative" should not, especially today, be considered a synonym of "republican." Simply swearing loyalty to the repubs, especially the neocons, is actually contrary to essential conservative principles.

Nice to see ... ( 1 month ago by jpbalkenende)

Nice to see Sullivan have to bend himself into ideological pretzels to make the world make some sense for himself and his flawed notion... Conservatism is dead wrong and has always been dead wrong and that's why America's heyday was from 1930-1970 when conservatism wasn't relevant and why everything is falling appart now. Conservatism means anti-intelectualism, irrationality and foreign policy based on those two principles. And, as everybody now knows, a fundamentally flawed economic philosophy.

I know what you mean and I sort of agree. However, I would also argue that he is not "conservative", rather he is a "libertarian" or "classical liberal" A semantic difference but crucial.

America has a battered wife syndrome when it comes to conservatism and it appears it takes the economic appocalypse we're having right now to cure it. Pathetic really.

He had a visceral reaction and doesn't feel like wading back through it afterward. The funny thing is that you are doing the same essential thing you are condemning him of. Or do your infallible standard only apply to people you see on your television?

He's right about the "books" (Communist Manifest AND Bible). All the complete strangers who want to tell me how to live a better life usually have pretty fucked-up backstories themselves. Mentally damaged, they are. No hope of ever being rid of them. Not without deportation.
