Yes, I am working on a post where I will explain what political radicalism is, and how polarization works as well as how this whole left-right spectrum works. It is clearly not understood here, I see. I will do so in another thread - because it goes deep into political science and philosophy...

Mav88, it is not "conspiracies" - it is the ideology of Neo-conservatism I am talking about. We can witness the practical policies which are the effect from strong influence from neo-conservatives - sometimes direct and dominating effects during the last presidency. That is not any...

I am not a "liberal" polarized in your understanding of the world... but a fair question to you - WHO ARE YOU? Are your views being a neo-conservative? Is your choice of username a reflection of this? (just wondering) Why do you call frequenters of this forum "liberal losers?" What basis are...

George Soros on Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNNI now... about the financial crisis. He says the US housing market was the triggering detonator for the deeper crisis of US over-spending, and that the Us has been over-consuming roughly 6-7% per year - more than they produce - and sucking up the...

There is something like too much of a good thing as well... and you grow tired of anything when there are easy excesses. :D Quality trumps quantity in the end, because you get farther when you are able to construct - not just count. Don't worry - there are plenty left here... so don't worry...

Wow, what is the world coming to... an intellectual like Cornel West on CNN Beyond Politics on CNNI right now. Is there sanity awake somewhere after all? I don't subscribe to West's socialist views - but he can certainly be respected as a thinker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornel_West

Another guy who cried "wolf!" was Paul O'Neill... but he got fired - or resigned - as US Treasury secretary shortly into the Bush presidency. Then he was painted as mainly a crackpot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Henry_O'Neill What do these guys know? G. W. Bush has a MBA, so he knows...
