It's like someone described someone whose focus was intensely fixed on some inconsequential matter ESPECIALLY at the moment when every bit of attention, focus, logistical concern and resource should be better trained on something else.

This is a good video for anyone who wishes to better prioritize and manage time better.




This is a great site!

Conservatives think. Liberals feel. Once you understand the world we live in then liberals aren't so damn mysterious anymore.

Liberals get a mental high from feeling righteous and enlightened and superior. The pinnacle for such feelings was the Civil Rights movement in the 60s. This was like mainlining heroin for liberals especially when compared to what they used to be about - supporting unions, supporting the everyday Joe in his battle against the Capitalists. Feeling moral superiority was like being on crack for liberals and they now seek it everywhere and this quest, and associated moral posturing and preening, now completely dominates their existence.

So we get to your discussions. They simply don't get the heroin rush in their brains from discussing NSA criminality that they do from preening like a peacock about how enlightened they are for supporting gay marriage. Being the champion of homosexuals gives them an immediate rush. It's more fun to get 15 moral highs from 15 preening incidents per day than it is to think about issues and discuss them intellectually and then have to work, without peer recognition even, trying to fix the ills of society.

Give a liberal a choice between preening and feeling morally superior and the option of doing something substantive which doesn't return the empty calories of preening in front of people and they'll always choose to preen.

Conservatives use their politics to try to fix the world around them, liberals use their politics as a positional good, to signal to themselves and others about how terrific they are as people.

WOW! The far left will cloud any issue, Chrysler now belongs to Fiat. It stocks were sold by the US government (Obama) at a 2.8 Billion dollar loss.

You now live in a country that only has two US car manufacturers now.

It’s normal for so-called “post-reorganization” companies to be temporarily ignored by investors after emerging from the dark cloud of a corporate reorganization. This is often due to bad memories, including losing real money, associated with the bankruptcy. The old Chrysler fits this scenario perfectly – it was one of the larger bankruptcies and was hopelessly insolvent by the time the U.S. government got involved.

The Story Behind Chrysler And Fiat, And Why The Stock Is So Cheap - Forbes

In response to questioning at a hearing before the House committee on December 5, 2008 by Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, Chrysler President and CEO Robert Nardelli said that Cerberus' fiduciary obligations to its other investors and investments prohibited it from injecting capital.[41] "In order to achieve that goal Cerberus has advised the U.S. Treasury that it would contribute its equity in Chrysler automotive to labor and creditors as currency to facilitate the accommodations necessary to affect the restructuring."[42]
On April 30, 2009, Chrysler declared bankruptcy protection and announced that GMAC would become the financing source for new wholesale and retail Chrysler cars.[43]
On March 30, 2009, Cerberus Capital Management announced that it would voluntarily give up its equity stake in the Chrysler as a condition of the US Treasury Department’s bailout deal, but would retain its stake in Chrysler’s financing arm, Chrysler Financial. Cerberus agreed to provide $2 billion to backstop a $4 billion December 2008 US Treasury Department loan given to Chrysler. In exchange for obtaining that loan, it promised many concessions including surrendering equity, foregoing profits, and giving up board seats. US Treasury and the Obama administration recognized the “sacrifices by key stakeholders” in an effort to give Chrysler the “opportunity to thrive as a long-term viable 21st century company.

Cerberus Capital Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like Cerberus gave up the production arm of Chrysler, ..since they were broke and did not want it, but they did retain GMAC financing which is all that they really wanted anyway..
you do realize that Fiat also owns GM?

This seems about right here. And for the most part, as NAP Libertarian, I really don't give a shit if gays get married or not. But that doesn't I'm going to divert all my time and resources into legalizing gay marriage --- it's just not that important right now compared to the Tyranny at hand.

Today I learned that the ACLU whos been fighting Govt Spying, NSA and warrentless wiretaps with other liberals like Glenn Greenwald starting with GWB are conservatives really.

I guess that makes GWB a liberal or something in this twisted logic

I also liked MSNBC's debate on the NSA, they actually delivered polls on the subject that reflected the majority views. Am I now a commie for watching a socialist network?

Well, according to the conservative guilt by association logic that would be a yes.

Except NBC isnt socialist or communist but besides that you're right.

Thanks for admitting your OP was full of shit

Three of their anchors openly declare themselves as socialists, one of them (L Donnell) actually uses the word verbatim.

But they admit what they are, which allows me to listen to them, even though I disagree 99% of the time. They don't try to play mind games and utilize deception tactics (like most Progressives) to hide the fact they they are raving Marxists. L Donell not only admits he's a socialist, but admits he wants to ban all guns in order to accomplish that goal --- obviously he wants to ban guns because he realizes that an armed population will not allow him and his like-minded buddies to take over America --- another fact he openly ADMITS in this video clip.



He also paid respect to Koch during the hospital visit. This man is brutally honest, therefore I respect him the same way I respect my opponents in a chess game.

I particularly agree with this quote from the above post:

"Liberals get a mental high from feeling righteous and enlightened and superior."

But, there is something else that often goes hand-in-hand with the above...and it is called Jealousy.

Their notions of Moral Superiority are often exercised most viciously on Conservatives who do better, make more money, than they do.

There is no Liberal more morally superior, and Jealous, than one who has been educated at some bogus place like Boston University...in Sociology or Black Culture or some other area of study which, while it imbues then with the insufferable notion of superiority, also leaves them unable to find a decent job. Many find their way into a Federal Bureaucracy where, like Lois Lerner, they make life miserable for Taxpayers.
