Found this relating to the demise of 3dfx, the bottom part I hadn't known previously.
I always knew democrats werent the best when it came to handling everyone elses money but didnt know our old stiff al gore actually was largely responsible for 3dfxs death!

glad i voted bush :) 

<b>Drew, I will have noticed... Not only has my $7000 investment shrunk to $150... but, my expectations for the Fusion Chip set which 3Dfx would have started shipping had it secured a bank loan. Having got a sneak peak at the chip set (which was ready to go to the foundry) I quickly noticed that it KICKED BUTT. It was faster in 1024x768 running Q-III than anything else I have seen to date.

Note: I have not yet been able to see the Latest WildCat or Fire GL-2 cards as yet but I don't think they would have had it when it comes to frame rate. The sad thing is most of the employee's were fairly upbeat before the Ax came down and 3dfx went belly up. 3dfx did approach 3 other companies who offered them worse deals than arch rival nPukia....

I thank Al Gore for this bank loan debacle... Yes, Al Dorf caused major freezes on high risk loans. I read that other companies not just 3Dfx were caught in this same bank loan brain freeze. They got stuck in the LOCK BOX ! So... I too grieve for the loss of the good friend of gamers world wide... </b>

It's because of Al Gore that you are able to spew your political venom in this forum. Remember, he created the internet!

What?

BAHAHA! i almost forgot about that one. :-)
its not so much political, but it just so happens that democrats are largely responsible for shutting down 3dfx as well as probably many american businesses.

Your post has the depth of thought most Conservatives aspire to. The Nazis have never gone away...they just present a new face for the same rhetoric. You must have stock in Enron...no doubt another business the Dems have ruined...according to conservative diatribes.

If I recall correctly (and I do) the reason for the crack down on high risk ventures in federally insured banks was brought about by the savings and loan "scandal" that was discovered during the Republican terms of Regan\Bush and had direct links to Republican cronyism much like the current Enron schemes

Thats got to be the most typical response I've ever heard, I'm glad to hear the brainwash probably easily put into you during your college years. I'm a college student BTW, I realize the liberal crap spewed at young americans going on.

I'm glad you have the right to judge my intelligence, as most liberals take the liberty to do, if you've ever seen an al gore speech you'd think he was talking to a group of 2nd graders.

My my, for being the 20 year old hip hop listening american youth I am, I am surprised that I am now a nazi. Guess I shouldnt be hanging out with all the asian and african american friends I have. *rolls eyes*

Actually your labeling me a Nazi is much more reminiscent of nazi tactics than me exposing the democrats. First dehumanize (essentially what calling someone a nazi does nowadays) your enemy right? I think we know what happens after you dehumanize your enemys..
and we conservatives are far more tolerant of you than you are of us, i could almost feel the hate.. "The Nazis have never gone away...they just present a new face for the same rhetoric."

In actuality, the recent rise of these extreme communistic liberals are indeed the new nazis.

I digress.. this doesnt need to turn into a political war.

I really do not wish to extend or even engage in this but ...

"In actuality, the recent rise of these extreme communistic liberals are indeed the new nazis."

that dosen't even make sense.. read a little history "DEWD" and find out what the Nazi platform was

You dont get it. i meant how they brand their enemys, dehumanize them and are ruthless in their methods to get rid of them.. of course the nazi enemys would have been jews and conservatives seem to be under extreme scrutiny from liberals.
In other words that I hope (but you probably can't) comprehend, the nazis are as far right as modern liberals are left, near communistic. These 'modern liberals' I'm referring to are the ones that have been in american politics since I've been alive. and FYI bush jr. is now the officially most popular american president in history, he recently surpassed JFK in popularity.

Looks like I'm going to have to take you to school in the subject of politics son.
Anyway, proof in my words is in the dissolution of the democratic party, they have no leadership, no generally accepted goals or morals just one thing holding them together, a common HATE for republicans... maybe when they start coming up with some ideas (besides the anti establishment bandwagon they've been riding since the 60s which is counterproductive also) of their own instead of putting people down they won't be the joke of politics.

Example of liberal hate mongers?
I dont know if you would remember a speech your god and utter idiot Tom Daschle said he was going to send John Ashcroft back to Missouri reading southern seperationist magazines.. pretty strong words from such a scrawny man.
Tom D. is about as a convincing politician as you.

and please don't call me 'dewd', trying to make me look lower than you or something.
It is comforting knowing you are resorting to this pathetic ploy in order to make me look the fool, but its been used by many schoolyard bullys (with little brains)before.

This thread was fun for the first few posts.

I came from a school district with your “quasi liberal” political persuasion. Basically it works like this-liberals, BY DEFINITION, are supposed to ACCEPT ALL VIEWPOINTS as being EQUALY VALID, that is, if I choose to follow traditional values, but my neighbors choose to follow homosexuality and paganism, the LIBERAL viewpoint is that BOTH OF US ARE RIGHT, and that BOTH of us should be able to exercise those beliefs as long as we don’t try to inflict them on each other! Those who speak up for traditional values are persecuted for their beliefs, so much for your liberalism!

But NO, in comes the NEW QUASI LIBERAL, who says “It’s NOT ok to practice traditional values. It’s NOT ok to oppose our “progress”. That is to say, the NEW liberal is NOT a LIBERAL at ALL, but rather a left wing socialist, who opposes traditional values vehemently, to the point of trying to destroy them! In the greatest tradition of former socialist parties, of course, such as the NAZI and Communist parties.

Funny thing-the NEW LIBERAL supports euthanasia. So did the NAZI party, to the end of killing anyone they thought was so unhealthy as to lead a non-productive life, or to sterilize those who might bear such children. I’ll give these new liberals another 20 years before they go that far!

BTW, I’m a moderate. I think the death penalty is too problematic to be useful. I do see the need for certain social programs. I only support abortion in the case of medical necessity. And I think that if anyone’s problems are so great as to warrant euthanasia, we should instead consider FIXING those problems to the best of our ability!

So before you call any Conservative a NAZI, remember that the NAZI party was a SOCIALIST party.

Wow, this thread did get a little out of hand. We all know the rule of thumb. Never discuss politics or religion. Either one will lead to arguments. In the hardware arena, its the equivolent of discussing Intel v. AMD.
I am a conservative Republican. I too swayed to the more liberal side of things in College. THen I got into the "real" world and realized most liberal views are untennable. They look great on paper but cost the taxpayer more than they are worth. The prime reason being Government (either side) cant handle money efficiently. So there winds up being too much waste.
If my hard earned taxes are going to social programs, I at least want to know they arent pissed away on 20$ pens and 40$ stationaries.
At least with the Republicans I can gaze at a brand new M1-A1 abrams tank and know my money is well spent. Its really a matter of the lesser of two evils. Do I want my money spent inefficiently to help my fellow man? Or do I want it spend on bigger bombs to enforce America's will abroad. For now Im sticking with the bombs.
Secondly, I think most democratic social legislation winds up costing American busineses billions of dollars (sexual harassment, Civil rights legislation etc) and plagues the courts with frivolous law suits. The key reason is poorly written legislation designed to correct inherent human flaws (prejudice for one). The lesson is you cant legislate morality without incurring a siginificant cost.
Alter the American landscape through responsbile parenting, not the law or the courts. Thats all Im getting at.

Often facist are considered right wing socialist because of their restrictions on personall freedom, but economically socialism is still a leftist philosophy.
