That's two posts better than what we typically see around here!

I wish I could point you to the PC thread as a model of decorum, but 4-5 area clowns ruined that thread with their negativity!

Stop being such an optimist.

When you have a point I will let you know, but in the meantime have fun with the, "America is a hair's breadth from being Cuba" thing.

Promises? This administration has done very little but lie since it came in to office. Guantanamo closed? Nope. Troops out of Iraq? Not even close. Gay marriage? His Justice Dept is fighting AGAINST it. Transparency? Not a single bill signed that I'm aware of has been online for review for the 72 hours promised. Don't ask, don't tell? Still the rule. Going through the budget "line-by-line"? Nope, too busy frivolously borrowing, printing and spending money.

And now you expect them to NOT raise taxes on the bottom 98% of Americans? Precedent says bullsh*t.

What makes me cringe is that nobody on the left sees the writing on the wall with this unfolding scenario.

My point must have been too subtle for the UMD contingent on the board.

Well... max bacaus has assured us that this is all about income "maldistribution" and not about assuring americans of personal security in their lives. Its nice when the mask slips... like it has been all week long. These are the moments when liberals say what they really believe because they know nothing can be done.

And I think it was John Dingle who this week let slip that it was all about "controlling" the people.

Are you cavemen still out here crying about the health care bill? Yikes. Look, as amusing as it was seeing you people on your knees weeping and praying for the Lord Cheney to save you, the bottom line is this is The Law Of The Land, and there's nothing you can do about it. Well, except for maybe cut somebody's gas line or something like that, which will get you a niiice visit from the FBI.

But, lets take on Right Wing Idiot Point #1. Repeal in 2011. How exactly do you idiots plan on accomplishing this? By winning 20 seats in the Senate? Gee guys, that seems a big optomistic. And what are you going to do about Obama?

Well, I guess if the death panels start offing people you might have a point. Make sure you post the first time that happens. Its a good thing the constituency for Republicans is stupid people.

Normally when the republican mask slips it ends up being some element of racism or the idea that dinosaurs walked the earth with Adam and Eve and such... yeah... awful and/or scary things but ultimately of lesser consequence... when a liberal says what he believes it affects a whole lot more people immediately... ideas like "prices should be fixed", "income needs to be redistributed", "things should be taken for the public good because taking is moral"... "lets bankrupt them all"... "people who disagree with me should shut up"... "we know better than the rest of them"... etc.

edit: for example, cap and trade brings a whole lot of vengeance items in the way of taxation which then the taxes are given to the government so they can spend on their pet ideological concerns. Very little of it is rooted in practicality when you get down to it. A lot of it comes down to "we don't think you should have that" or "we think its better if you do this... and we'll make you do it" or "this is a better way to live your life even if you don't want to". Hell, I mean take the lightbulb issue. We're no longer going to sell one of the simplest consumer products in the universe because we've been told that "don't think you should have that" and "this is a better way to live your life even if you don't want to"... instead they hand us this expensive glass thing that contains enough mercury to poison your children's children... of course ignoring the patience they should take for LED lightbulbs to reach their feasibility... they're already in flashlights. Instead we have to use their magical mystical mercury containing earth bulb. Give me a break.

And the excuse is always "well, he was taken out of context" or "he was tired and didn't really mean it" (which was the actual excuse in this case) and we are told to disregard it and it's never brought up again.

If it's what you were describing, it's a black mark and it'll always be brought up.
