I'd rather talk with Buzz over at Empire or any of the folks watching soccer over at Fox & Hound.... or any number of reasonable folks, over the rightwing political bias and general craziness that's typical of this forum.

Who's stopping you? Clearing the flatus stench from your posts would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I am still waiting on information about your military service since you found it necessary to call me out.

Why do some resort to foul language and insults?  Is that an indication of weakness?

I don't really agree with the necessity of the war either, but in hindsite 50 million people were freed from an oppressive dictator, and are quite happy about it.


In hindsite (sic), you think a trillion or two dollars is worth an unnecessary war? Isn't that glib?

If there were any relevance to that particular Bush/Cheney lie about the "oppressive dictator" excuse for the Iraq war, there are at least a dozen countries that would be more justified than Iraq.  And a lot more than 50 million people.  Actually, about 31 million in Iraq according to most reality based estimates.

And I do remember the day very clearly where the WTC came down.  Do any of the RWRE remember through their Republicontin haze??  The rest of the world, except for those under the influence KNOW where the war was/is and yet, the magic kool-aid bunch still go on and on about Iraq.  And now that we are back paying attention to the right place, there are still spewings on the topic.

And the comment earlier about "The Iraq war was started under GHW Bush, and continued under Clinton, lobbing bombs from afar." shows that subconsciously at least, Gaspar realizes that this Iraq war had nothing to do with what the lies said, even if he won't admit it - to himself if no one else.

As far as the Bush II tax cuts creating jobs...yeah, a few.  At the slowest rate in at least the last 80 years.  Even last months 7.9% increase was dramatically higher than anything under W.

And Gaspar again shows he doesn't draw a paycheck like 95% of the people who actually cash a check every month - the tax cuts were real cuts.  $288 billion worth and they continue today.  (Ask your accountant about how that is working for your employees.  Or ask one of your friends who does draw a check.)

So, last years tax cuts for 95% of the people in this country were "moronic".  While the 2001 tax cuts for the other 5% were "good".  And those 95% were the "angry mob" to be quelled.  That pretty well tells the whole story of arrogance, hubris, complete disregard of the lower 95% that this country has experienced for 8 years under the Cheney/Rove/Murdoch environment.

Sounds like compassionate conservatism to me.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I have to admit that the $13 net that I got out of last year's "tax cut" made me go right out and stimulate the economy.
FWIW, the only way to consider my annual salary to be 6 or more figures is to count the numbers to the right of the decimal point.

Had no idea I was so rich.   

I would like for you to continue heroin.  You do a find job in representing liberal philosophy. I enjoy your honesty and the candidness.

I would like to hear more about your philosophy on economic stimulation.  What makes the economy move?  What is Government's role?

Ask yourself, you "poor bastard".

Again, if you can't tell the difference between my aside and your "FU, you POS," then you're dumber than I thought.

That's rich, you calling me"dumb". I'll take my academic bona fides against whatever you got any day. I'll take my professional success against yours any day.

Nope, I am just freakin tired of his double standards. He accuses me of insulting people, and just today calls someone a "damned fool".

Vanquished?

No, that's just wishful thinking on your part, Mr. I've-posted-fifty-times-today.   :D

Just because most of TNF's females no longer post here doesn't mean their opinions on national politics are uninformed or irrelevant.  For me, I no longer have the time to post, but happened to have an extra day off today.

Some of us work full time and aren't allowed to goof off while we're on the clock.... besides, I have better things to do with my time than to argue with wingnuts who think the country's now being ruled by Saul Alinsky.... shame on you.

My memories of Reagan are used more as comparison, not necessarily blame.
I like to use Reagan's first couple of years in office to point out the blatant hypocrisy from those who think we shouldn't be blaming Bush for the economic crisis this country has had since Obama took office.

When I walk around town, I consider myself a Tulsan.

But when I read some of the unhinged stuff on this site, I wonder out loud if it was the right decision to move here.  I sometimes wonder if the oil industry hasn't implanted most of you with a buncha wingnut alternate universe microchips....
