What can I say. You could give an honest answer to the question, and then acknowledge the validity of the information regarding the New Deal & unions in making your current standard of living better...but somehow I doubt you have the cojones to do so. I could write a book about how the majority of those programs hurt america and had the exact opposit of their intended effect. No, if you're so assured of your convictions, you could merely give a short, point for point response to the information I provided. But as with all intellectually bankrupt neocon blowhards, you'll just bluff and bluster. So instead of you loading the thread down with information so that a response would be impossible (impossible because when I speak economics and the fundamentals ofliberty I break it down so far that any idiot could understand it. Extreamly necessary in this forum). Yeah, just what I thought...another neocon blowhard trying to bluff past his ignorance. YOU opened the door, genius...if you're such a scholar, you should have laid out your case instead of trying to take cheap shots...TFB if you got shown up. How about you just pick whatever one you want to go on that you think benefits us the most and I will show you how its bogus? How about you grow a pair and give an honest answer to the question, and then TRY to demonstrate to us all how ANY of the points I laid forth have IMPEDED the benefits and progress in YOUR life? I made my case, bunky...if you can counter it, do so and quit blowing smoke. Oh, and think progress isnt exactly the most reliable source. Really? Because so far YOU haven't been able to disprove or logically/factually refute ONE ITEM of information they gave here. Bitching about the political slant of a source is one thing, disproving their information is a whole other smoke. It would be like a conservative quoting a dumbed down version of Newsmax. Infact, after that tea party video I'm surprised that anyone gives them any credebility.
True enough about NewsMax...but unlike them Think Progress actually gives links to ALL the fact based information which supports their headlines. Newsmax has a nasty habit of trying to present opinion, supposition and conjecture as fact. Big difference.
Now that being said, you've got an answer to the question I asked?
Dont change my quote. I'm sure that violates forum rules. Though I am sure your too lazy or perhaps ignorant of how you can break up quotes and respond accordingly. It makes life easeyer on both me and you. I am not goint to read that heap of trash that you posted when you butcherd my response.
Translation: this neocon blowhard was shown up for his intellectually dishonesty, so he grasps at any straw to try and cover his blunder. I did not alter one word of Publius post, I merely entered in my answer for an immediate read by the viewer....hence the different colored font. Nothing in the rules against that. Publius is such an intellectual coward that his excuses are even piss poor.
As far as Kloppingburg or whatever her name is goes, Conservatives are accustomed to contested elections not going their way. To be honest with you I was surprised that Prosser won. The norm has been that no matter what the lead that any conservative has he usually loses on the recount.
Ahh, now we're getting somewhere. In this case.....Prosser won by recount and the local election board reports that improvements in the system will be made. Kloppenburg had stated that whether she wins or loses, the people had to be reassured of the integrity of the voting system in Wisconsin.
I will never trust think progress nor are they or have they been a credeble source on anything. Especially after that tea party hit job they put out which was so obviously false once you looked at the clips that video came from. I furthermore, will not subscribe to death by over information. I will not go down the line and write you a damning essay that could be a book once finished refering to all that garbage that you put out. Pick one or two and defend it but you certainly are not going to waste my time.
Oh, and I had hoped Publius rationality would hold on...and then he degrades to the usual neocon/libertarian bullshit.
I was taught in school that in order to be informed you read EVERYTHING offered. That way, when people question you, you can honestly tell them the who, what, where, when, how and why you disagree with information from a source. Having an opinion about a particular website is all well and good, and you can rightly disagree with the political/social slant...but to automatically disgard the information contained sight unseen is a sign of a willfully ignorant person.
As the chronology of the posts shows, Publius loves to make declarative statements that he cannot back up factually or logically. Given information that factually and logically contradicts Publius opinions, he just ignores it and then blathers on as if his supposition and conjecture is a valid substitute in the discussion. Sadly, as any high school teacher will tell you, it's not.
I leave Publius to his excuses and childishly apparent attempt to smokescreen his inability to act mature and just admit he's wrong on a point.
