Haven't you left something out of your post? I couldn't find the word " lefty". Surely you really meant "lefty non- American pre fascist commie..."

An unpopular opponent at that!

The problem here is that you're ignoring the reality that is right in front of you. There are no purely socialist countries, nor any pure capitalist countries, among the 16 modern, industrialized nations that we are a part of. Your remark leaves one wondering if you recognize nuance in...

My recommendation is not to throw in with that lot. But sometimes experience is the best teacher. I expect you'll have to discover things for yourself.

I think that's a very bad idea unless you have given a lot of thought to whether their conclusion makes sense.

My opinion was that an obsolescent Constitution was a contributing factor, but that the main factor, i never said it was the only factor, was the consequences of prior mistakes having become embedded. The structure of our government allows a few recalcitrant, unscrupulous individuals to...

You made that point. Many agree with you.

That argument has great appeal. I appeals to me. It seems intuitively sensible!, and I was once a proponent of what you suggest. That was before I thought about it a great deal. I finally realized that I was wrong. There are sound reasons why, in some instances, it makes sense to tax or...

Not exactly. I allowed that it was a factor. I identified something else as what I thought was the main factor. I personally wouldn't use the word blame in conjunction with the main factor. It is more or less something that is wrapped up in our nature. We all make mistakes, And collectively...

evidence please?

Did Trump say the Obama administration wiretapped me?? I thought he tweeted that he had just learned that Obama had wiretapped him. Sorta implies the President had something directly to do with it, don't you think? I am still waiting for any evidence that spying on Trump and his entourage was...

I'm in complete agreement. We should hold them accountable.

Not just any piece of paper. An extremely important piece of paper. It's value has noting to do with the physical material itself. Your remark is rather childish actually. Of course some of our problems with government today relate indirectly to our Constitution. No Reasonably informed...

No. It wouldn't be a good idea to scrap it and start over, but it does need updating via amendment. Because it lets corporations have some rights that should only belong to individuals. Because it is silent on how political campaigns should be funded. Because it is silent on Gerrymandering...

Here is where we might disagree. Although I take great delight in referring to our Representatives and Senators in Washington as imbeciles and morons, I don't really regard any of our Congressmen or Senators as such -- well maybe one or two :D. In fact, it would seem that the majority of them...

You're just spouting nonsense now. The correct information on the voting rights of the different classes of Times shares is available to you. Why don't you take the time to look it up. And while you're at it, look up "who" owns and "who" controls the Times. Also, while you're at it, look up...

He wasn't asked, He volunteered his opinion and it was unrelated to whether an abortion was legal or not. If you try to look up statistics for illegal last trimester abortions in the U.S. you won't find any. So stop making this crap up. Currently, federal law makes it legal to abort babies...

Don't be an idiot. Abortions are legal! He said that women who have abortions should be punished! That's how insane he is. Don't you listen to anything the man says? Start listening.

Everything is a lie. But that doesn't mean he's not going to do something Horrible. He lied when he said he would stop Muslims from entering the country. He didn't, He can't. He just made that up on the spur of the moment. Everything out of his mouth is that way. He's a pathological liar...

Gee I wish I had your crystal ball. Don't suppose any of these now healthy folks, will ever slip on a banana peel, wreck their back, be in a horrible car accident or grow old and infirm. Naw, that would never happen. No problem. They have their assets, their health savings accounts to protect...
