"Actually, that's what most conservatives don't get about Keynes. They forget that once the problem is corrected the debt still has to be paid"

Considering Greece, Portugal and soon America I am sure you meant the liberals do not get this about Keynes.

Amazing Aggie logic to this thread.
The left promised pensions, benefits, goodies out the ass. When time came to pay for this nonsense there was no money for it, and the left got booted out of office. Others had to cut all the Santa Claus political presents.
Now the left blames THAT for a bad economy??

Third as a major party platform, doc.

It's the essence of liberal propaganda, Huer: "Searching for the truth." They just never seem to get there.

"I can tell you about my personal experience with hunger as a child. I had child abusers for parents..."

Look, Helium, I write the following not to bait you or piss you off, okay?
If the government had given your parents food stamps, would your parents have eaten the food or you? The government would have subsidized the abusers.
Please, in this part I really mean not to piss you off, but it must be said: If you sound like the lyrics to a self-pitying John and Yoko song....throw it away. You are doing more damage to yourself than your parents did.
Peace. I mean it. I do not post that to do a gotcha. Okay?

"...fighting for the right of every single fetus to be born into inescapable poverty and suffering."

Just like the welfare system.

If it comes down to Wiener and Quinn, New Yorkers have lost all sense of direction.
Unfortunately, no one else has stepped up to squish these pissant candidates.

"What are your credentials in climatology?"

Better or at least equal to Nobel Laureate Gore.
LOLOLOLOL!

And then Bush's son flew the jets into the WTC, after his secret army set explosives to drop several other structures!
Thank God we have rein to keep us free.

Just set aside more money to pay off the debt, Danni.

So the most profitable business strategy, Huer, is to hire thugs who use words like 'f-----' and then steal back money from them to appear 'sensitive' to others? This is exploitation of the dumb, just like sweat shops.

"This amendment was written by people who detested standing armies and wanted a prepared populace to defend against invaders without the structure of a standing army.
"Once we went to a standing army, we had no need for a well regulated Militia, and the 2nd Amendment outlived its usefulness"

Usefulness is now the left's standard for an amendment to the Bill of Rights? And the 'living and breathing' Constitution now dies in certain, very important, sections only as the left decides?
Who defines usefulness? Of course: the left.
Apparently, Eric the Reddo Holder has determined the 1st Amendment has outlived its usefulness, too. So hath the IRS done with search and seizure as well as the right to be secure in one's personal property.
The left: "What we define is the truth, not what is written."

"On the flu matter, we will find out if H7N9 recombines with the regular flu when flu season hits china in 5 months. Then all hell could break loose"

Wolf! Wolf! The sky is falling! Give the CDC billions to turn over to manufacturers of vaccines who contribute to poli....society.

Crop subsidies are just as bad as food stamps, and the second anyone criticizes either program the swarm comes down calling the critic a hater.
What rein can not absorb is that making peasants suffer is done by making them rely on such shell games. Only the government scams rein approves of are not slavery.
They all are, rein. Wake up.

Ein Volk, Ein reich, Ein Wiener!

"It's not an authoritative source of information or anything and I'd hate to see anyone go to jail based on what's written on it."

No, no, Tor. They are talking about the Urban Dictionary, not the New York City definitions of hate crimes.

"They will also say that 10% is harder on a poor person than a rich person."

Then lower it to 3%, which the voters rich and poor would do if a fair tax like this were approved.
But in any case, a flat tax is not a rich versus poor tax. It is a spender versus investor/saver tax. That can only help us all economically. Those who spend wastefully pay more.

"..yet a cut of $669 million to the FAA's budget forces the agency to furlough air traffic controllers in order to create 3 to 4 hour lines at airports."

They could have cut Obamacare, y'know, instead.

"By a vote of 13-5, the Senate panel approved the bill that would put 11 million illegal residents on a 13-year path to citizenship while further strengthening security along the southwestern border with Mexico, long a sieve for illegal crossings into the United States.

"The vote followed the committee's decision to embrace a Republican move to ease restrictions on high-tech U.S. companies that want to hire more skilled workers from countries like India and China."

They will have to update the thesaurus to include Republican and Democrat as synonyms for traitor.

"But, here's hoping others like him follow in his footsteps."

Truly amazing how leftists can pass fart gas and make it sound like words.

"A 78-year-old French far-right activist committed suicide at the altar of the Notre Dame cathedral on Tuesday by shooting himself in the mouth, three days after a law legalizing same-sex marriage came into effect."

If he wanted to connect himself to Catholic beliefs by doing it there, he obviously had a defective idea of our view of suicide and no idea at all about how awful the desecration of a holy place is.
Poor lunatic reminds me of those tragic and senseless self-immolations seen among Buddhists, who would readily condemn such showy statements as a religion.

"This is just the wing dings whine du jour. They have been working overtime to manufacture all sort of "scandals" that are only such in their own echo chamber."

And the person in charge of it all just informed congress she will take the 5th.
Next diversion?

Gotta laugh along with Corky on that one.
Coulter reminds me of one of those "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Boston Womens Cooperative/Commune lesbians, after a makeover for her law school interview of course.

'Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.'

H. L. Mencken

That was P.T. Barnum, I believe, Dave. And Larry Flynt proved him right.

Grope and mange.
