OK, but that camp also brought us MANY things and got rid of things that actually matter...

I am not saying they have done NO good, but they certainly have not been a friend to the sports car enthusiast...certainly not.

I have an associate that has ~15 Skylines sitting in a warehouse here in California that can't be put on the street because of liberal Democrat policy...R32s and R33s...We are forced to screw our engines with 91 octane in this state, all for this lie that it is fossil fuel burning that is causing global warming...It is a lie, yet we are forced (or I should say scared) into accepting the lie and living with the enhanced (I should say penalizations) for simply transporting ourselves.

Back to topic: Always mod conservatively...Liberal modding is either going to blow your engine or put spinners on your Evo.

and the national 55 mph speed limit (which was repealed in 1995) was in response to the energy crisis of the 70's, so i don't see how you can pin that on the liberals.

This has been propagated by the political left for some time. If you look at Hitler's platform it is nearly indistinguishable from the Democrat party's...Right down to demonizing the rich (in Hitler's case, the Jews), public education, abortion and control of industry...The dirty little secret, despite the lies, is that Hitler WAS a socialist and Nazism a kissing cousin to American liberalism.

Wait a damn second! Why are we mixing our fun time (modding) with our govt. affiliation. Come on, there has to be some rule like the "no politics at the dinner table" rule in my family. "No politics while beefing up my already stellar car." Conservative or liberal? F that, just have some fun along the way and leave all this political stuff for some giant drink fest with friends. I mean that is when the really fun political arguments happen.

BEER ME!

Yes the man who founded it was Roger Baldwin, he was actually a Stalinist and was infatuated with stalin and the way he ran things. He also went to Russia quite frequently and was a frequent guest at the cremlin. Roger also said he wanted to create an org that would create a facade to think that it was actually protecting civil liberties when infact they were going to take them away.

Conservative. Especially when it comes to government programs" that accomplish nothing except making people more and more dependant on government.


"give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for life" Yes, a little bit cheesy, but true.

Wow, so you're 36 and self supporting...pretty much what most of us are at that age. Great accomplishment as none of us have ever done THAT before. There's really no need to prove your "education". Just the fact you realize the difference between purist and most pure makes you ok in my book, even if I sweepingly disagree with your opinions.

You sprout dogma like it's fact and it just isn't. Socialism and communism are not one in the same whereas Marxism and Stalinism advocate different means of achieving a communist state and the production/distribution of goods. It sounds more like you've read a few choice books and passed up on all the real world experience. Name one pure communistic society in the history of mankind. You can't as it's never existed in a pure form. How then can you deduce that it's evil? Sure we can make an educated guess but we cannot truly know. We could argue that capitalism in it's purist form is overtly evil as it calls for the elimination of all competition; from Darwin to Chaimberlin, etc...they all come to the same conclusion. Try a bit of Bertrand Russell for a change. Barring any philosophical miscalculations, just remember that by making sweeping generalizations and placing people in neat little boxes, you become a fascist yourself.

I think if people knew how the republican party actually started, they'd make fewer cracks about bleeding heart democrats, the ACLU, etc...we often associate social programs with democrats yet we fail to realize the first republican president was Abraham Lincoln. In 1856, the Republicans became a national party when John C. Fremont was nominated for President under the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont." Four years later, Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican to win the White House. Examine that slogan and tell me it doesn't have elements of socialism.

Making sweeping categorizations of people based on which way they vote isn't exactly objective, is it? It is in fact, extremely short-sighted to pin any social ill or community sway on something as fluid as a political party. Spend more time educating yourself in the real world and less time with your nose stuck in a book or listening to people who think the exact same way you do. Have you ever spent time in a communist country? Have you ever spent a week getting to know someone of Islamic background? Have you even read the Koran? You sprout all this stuff but how do you really know???? Less philopatric and more empiricism.

I'm curious as to what you do for a living.

this is just to much fun i find it funny how you make it seem like making a car run well on 91 octane is impossible. if you actually knew anything about cars, why not try E85? or is that to much of a hippie fuel for your mans car?

This simply isn't true...it doesn't strike you as odd (or downright idiotic) that a man infatuated with civil liberties would be a Stalinist? Here's a brief bio with the facts from the Harvard Square Library;

And it's Kremlin, not cremlin. Seriously....it's apparent there are some with real issues here. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again."-Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, 1709.
