Are you a liberal?

Uhh what does this have to do with Chinese Chat? As for Savage, he's like male version of Ann Coulter.

You can't compare Michael Savage to Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter is just a nasty and rude conservative who spouts her mouth to make money; while Michael Savage is totally nuts, he's like a Jewish Hitler. Rednecks follow him because they are attracted to the cult of personality.

He's a social Darwinist like George Carlin. Some of his critiques of PC and welfare are O.K. However, he goes overboard. He's fun to listen to but don't take him too seriously icon_neutral.gif You know kind of like Archie Bunker.

That kid from the Wonder Years? confused.gif My take on him is that he's got a really short nose for a Jew. shrug.gif

I wouldn't call him a social Darwinist. He is smart though because he knows to tell ppl want they want to hear and gets rich in the process, stupid ppl love him because they love hearing someone on the radio affirming their own stupid ideas. The only funny thing about him is that he takes every oppurtunity to play the race card against ppl yet cries about anti-semitism like no tomorrow. I'm pretty sure any sane Jewish person would have an aneuryism if they ever had the misfortune of listening to him.

Sometimes he quotes the bible but he certainly doesn't like the social gospel. Despite his references to Christianity he doesn't reject Darwinism; He applies Darwinism to social issues (but maybe not on an extreme level).

Now I can agree up to a point. Some people are truly lazy and should be ashamed. However, I don't advocate any society forcing people to work.
However, where does Savage's madness end?

Most everybody likes pep rallies for thier own opinions.

Savage doesn't deny the Holocaust and is highly critical of Iran. He plays the race card but due to his "Jewishness" doesn't side totally with the far right. I don't know what's worse. People who like David Duke or Michael Savage.

Typically Jews are liberal so it's odd to hear Savage talk far right ideas in a NYC accent.

The point is that Savage isn't a true conservative. Michael Savage espouses quasi-collectivist and draconian ideas. True conservatives believe in stuff like individualism, fiscal responsibility, and personal/economic liberty. Most of our so called conservates nowadays are actually tradionalists and/or neocons, this what the Republican Party has become.

Barry Goldwater was a true conservative. Perhaps Arnold Shwarzenegger is.
