Since the left is anti-conservative rather than subscribing to their own philosophy, they have many contradictions. This is one of them - pro-pot and anti-tobacco. Should be interesting to see them duke this out. :D :D :D
Bill Whittle wrote an article about people who buy into conspiracy theories over at ejectejecteject.com (now part of PajamasMedia, apparently). He makes the argument that some folks have a psychological need to be one of a few people who know the truth...
Yeah. A democratic federal government is going to cut union jobs - cut a giant federal union in half! LOL.
Maybe they'll also cut spending and taxes while they are at it.
What? Haven't you heard? Big government bureaucracy makes things cheaper not more expensive, that's why we can cover everybody with health insurance yet bring costs down. Price supports (minimum wage) cause shortages. Increasing demand (government handouts) creates surpluses and lowers...
While there may be some True Believers (maybe even The One), I suspect most of the political leaders understand very much what they are doing and the ramifications down the road. Doing things you know are going to hurt the country in the long run to achieve and maintain power is pretty evil, IMO.
From the article:
Because the scientists missed a day and the bible explains it, therefore every single thing in the bible is true.
I've got a book (well, more a doc in Notepad than an actual book, but none-the-less) that explains the missing day as well, plus says y'all need to worship...
So the democrats pass health care and it supposedly is an awesome triumph for The One and the rest of the socialists. Everybody knows what a disaster it will be, which only leaves one thing left to do - blame the republicans for it.
WASHINGTON â Republicans were for President Barack...
Clearly we need the federal government to start handing out movie tickets. While uncaring rich people (who've taken more than their fair share from the table of life) can afford stacks of high priced movie tickets, what about the unfortunates who cannot? Time to level the playing field! We...
But we're getting FREE healthcare! Woo hoo! And our mortgages paid off and free food and cash for clunkers and bailouts for Wall Street and bailouts for auto makers and cash for our homes and cash for fixing up our houses and on and on and on! Isn't it just wonderful that The One can give us...
I rarely go to movies any more. Now I have a spiffy new giant LED TV, plus I've gotten the news so I do not envision going to the movies but once a year (if that). I can sit in my nice place, drink a nice merlot and not deal with the idiots behind me kicking my seat while trying to stop their...
And don't for a minute think McCain would have been anything but more of the same. Which is why he is looked upon with such disfavor by the right.
Except he might not have gone gonzo on health care. But everybody knows he'd be a big government big spender and trying to get amnesty for...
SWEET! I know where I'm going early Saturday morning. :D :D :D
I can see it now:
Me: "Hi barkeep. Holy moly, what a night. I thought Romulan Ale was illegal? Anyway, could I please have my card back? I left it here last night."
Bartender: "Sure. What's your name?"
Me: "I...
No it is not. But my point apparently was. Index Piker thinks that if things get bad enough, people will wake up. My point was it can get very, very bad indeed and people will refuse to address the problems.
I've also had a 313 area code and was born and raised in the `burbs. During the riots, we lived in Mt. Clemens. My dad (a serious liberal) borrowed a shotgun "just in case". Just wanted to make the point that I am very familiar with Detroit, not some clueless outsider. And just to be clear...
