I think you DO know who Rush is.

I've heard of him, and seen and read some news reports and commentary
about him and the people who hate him. I have never listened to him, as
I don't live in the US, and don't really care for the American style of
blow-hard pundit talk radio regardless of the politics of the blow-hard
pundit. Which is why I rarely listen to the radio when I do travel to
the US. It's pretty much crap.

You see, in the mind of those on the left, if one holds conservative
values it cannot be because the conservative has looked at history and
observed what has worked, looked at how this nation has prospered because
of economic freedom and the ability to keep much of the fruits of one's
labors, or observed how, in every place it has been tried, the socialist
agenda being promoted has always produced more poverty, more misery, and
left its people lacking for even basic necessities. No, in the mind of
the left, if one holds conservative values, it is because you are a
mindless drone who has been brainwashed by someone such as Rush.

This is complete bull**** and you are either a complete idiot or
completely selfish. The latter is hilarious, because I doubt your net
worth is anywhere near the level where any of Bush, the criminal's tax
cuts would benefit you.

Yes, that's name calling, so sue me.


Lots of ad hominem, no facts or substance. Yep, you pretty much make my
point, the left *feels*, it doesn't think.



No one is advocating socialism. I certainly am not.


Let's see, nationalizing banks, taking over auto companies
and "suggesting" that the CEO leave, Turbo-tax Timmy pushing for the power
to not only restructure bailed out institutions, but also to be able to
take over any other companies that *he* thinks may be in trouble. Nope, no
socialism there, uh-uh. You could be partially right, partial state
ownership in this respect is pretty well closer to fascism, but then that's
kind of a matter of degree.

poster

You
see people who are poor? Of course it just *feels* right that money
should be taken from those considered rich and given to the poor.

Let me guess. You are a big fan of Ayn Rand, right? You probably even
named one of your kids John Galt, unless, thank god you are sterile
and cannot reproduce more mindless dolts.

The fact that
trillions of dollars have been spent this way since the 60's and those in
poor areas are worse off now than before doesn't matter.

Citations, please, showing that this money was all spent on socialist
programs (and you don't get to assign the label) and they are worse
off than they would have been without that money.

This is one of those cases where one would think that the old engineering
textbook caveat "the proof is straightforward and left to the reader" would
be 5'th grade obvious.


.... snip of more meltdown. My 2-year-old used to melt-down that way too.
