Scientists have given mankind many blessings, but the discovery of the gene for Left-wing behaviour must be foremost among them. For now there is a diagnosis, there can be a cure. Just think of it – a quick screening of the unborn infant, a mild course of gene therapy, and hey presto! The disease can be eradicated within a generation.
Perhaps we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. But even if science falls short of an outright cure, it should still be possible to ameliorate the symptoms. The gene does not automatically make the carrier a Lefty; rather, it triggers the adolescent brain's reward mechanism in the presence of novel experiences and viewpoints. The treatment is simple: lock teenage sufferers in a drab room, furnished with the works of Hayek and Friedman. True, their social skills will be somewhat stunted. But the benefits will last a lifetime.
Libertarian BS is equal to or greater than GOP BS in terms of danger?
How about you tone down on the hyperbole and opinion and back that up with something other than stinky piles of your own BS? Oh, wait. That's all you have...
IF you can't beat them with logic, dazzle them with BS.
Here's my contribution to the stinky pile that is Dude's latest thread. I would have used the bathroom, but this was closer...
And now, back into hiding so I can enjoy life without the hate mail disguised as the PC social conscience of people living in a dream world.
Sect Gates in his last month as head of DoD...is beginning to give opinion on the Obama administration. Yes, he did say that the bin Laden raid was one of good leadership and decision making by the Obama administration.
He also just said this.....that the support troops in Iraq should be the first one's withdraw. Presently they are the last. Doing this leave them exposed to and encourages attacks.
Clearly Sect. Gates sees things differently than the White House. But that is why in America, one were each can his own opinion. And you not being called some "some movement that hates the guts of their own countrymen" by those around you.
We leave that kind of demeaning for for people that so called friends of America................LOL............
But in reading Newt Grinrich ...Valley Forge....Newt make s scene were a Rebell woman is asked to give her house to be Washington camp post. She has seen the poor condition of his army....on leave the house, she encounters General Washington and his staff....she proceeds to give them a piece of her mind.
In 1700 Europe, such a piece of mind would like get you to the gallows or the block. Layette was startled the Washington took it so calmly and respectfully. Here the Commander of the America forces was tasked by a mere woman.
Dude has no grasp of this concept. That freedom of speech give one the right to express it. And if done in a civil and non threatening manner...direct it anyone you please to.
To Dude, the REP are out to get Obama and his administration. They want the country back. His fear mongering wears thin. He use not freedom of speech, but freedom of rant and hatred. He takes his arguement so across the line with vile.....but this is the far left of today.
It has lost its class of the 60s and 70s anti-war movements. Today Dude can support the wars in Afghanistan and Libya ...in that they were there to protect the people of Libya and American. What was GWB's invasion of Iraq if not another way to protect the people of Iraq from Sadam? What was Sadam doing the to the Kurds and Shia? Pretty much the same thing that Qdaffi is doing. Assad is doing. Moubarrak was doing. Ali was doing.
Yet GWB is the poster boy for anti liberal ranting. At least he did it with a Congressional approval of his military actions. He put it to the people's congress. Were as....President Obama did not.

Let's give the whole bunch, all three branches since the end of WWII the credit they deserve. While were at it I'll take my credit and an American citizen for my small contribution.
