[Obama is a black man]

Typical liberal thought process:

Government is for fixing problems.

This is like calling the National Guard when you have a termite problem.

[Fatso]

Awesome.

[joanie]

Yes. Government IS for fixing problems. Finally a tidbit of truth from the expert on nothing.

[Coiler]

We will need the National Guard to round up disloyal americans and make short work of the Tea Bag cult that is infecting shiftless men everywhere.

[chuck says joanie is a liar.]

I think that you would be dissapointed to find out what side our military would be on there curley turd.
The way your government fixes problems requires that they create the problems first.

[joanie]

Call me anything you like chux. You can't prove a word of it. But then, that never stopped you from blowharding about everything before. Now did it? '

As for the military? You'd have to convince the corporatists to bring them home first. And then you'd have to count how many are left.

Judging from those that I know that saw time in Iraq and Afghanistan, you might be surprised. Course, you could always drive down to Fort Lewis and high five the guys and gals who haven't been sent yet. I'm sure they would make the old armchair general feel good.

Why don't you talk to them when they get back?

I have come to the conclusion that most tea partiers are as repugnant as most self-described conservatives. And I feel violated by them, or maybe just angry at myself for being naïve and stupid enough to give them the benefit of the doubt--assuming that they were libertarian idealists who were bothered by the burgeoning federal budget--principles such as those are not ignoble, but when I saw the reception that they gave to Tom Tancredo, I woke up immediately and realized who these people were.

They will stop at nothing to impose their warped and fanatic religious dogma, coupled with dangerous and backward nativism, on the lives of others. These are the people who teach children that the world is only 7,000 years old, that Charles Darwin is EVIL, and maybe most sickeningly they fanatically support Israel even though they ipso facto condemn Jews and other non believers to the worst pyres of their hell. Please don't quote me from Revelations or Tribulations or whatever. You people are ridiculous.

To make things even more so ridiculous, they do all of this under the guise of "freedom" and "liberty." That is, till I need to make a private end-of-life decision with my doctor or a pregnant woman sees her OB/GYN, and then they want all the force of the federal government.

For the last week, I've perused right wing radio, because I thought that their reactions would be a particularly good, cheap short-term gauge to see whether progressives won or lost--that is, in the bigger picture.

Rush just had an undercover insurance company executive calling from a secret, undisclosed location near Atlanta, presumably using a false name. She did seem to know a little more than the average bear, and she knew how to chat on the radio, so I'd wager that she's probably, in reality, some low-level conservative lobbyist type with a friendly voice that is native to Caucasians from the American South. She sounds like she could maybe even be "a babe," too, so who better for Limbaugh to have as a "seminar caller?" Anyway, as "an insider" she said that the health insurance industry would be out of business in 2-to-3 years!

OK, right wingers believe in the free market right??? Didn't they predict HUGE surges in the Dow after Scott Brown's victory? What happened? And what was the reaction of the capitalists on Wall Street last week and this week after passage of the bill? There are a lot of intelligent people who happen to be conservative or traditional; I think that David Frum is an example. But Rush, Beck, Hannity, Savage, Sessions, DeMint, Palin, Hayworth?

[Duffman]

Just one question in that regard. How is it that one can be perceived to be a 'babe' from listening only to their voice. And, is 'babe' a step up or down from being 'hot'.

Let's role-play, ok? Ok, you be a complete right-wing nit-wit and have everything fit into your neat little fairy tale world. I'll type in, Let's role-play, ok?

Get your head out of your bunghole & cease the hate speech and wussified wingnut lies.

When you want to have a reasoned dialogue, I'll be your huckleberry.
