Our cretinous acquaintance of the Neander...Amazing! Our cretinous acquaintance of the Neanderthal ultrarightwing variety has now taken to NOT posting anything I leave, but "interpreting" it in his own words and style, and then responding. I see he did pretty much the same thing with you, too. He is, truly, the Sound of One Hand Clapping. <br /><br />You just have to read some of his crap and shake your head in amazement. My favorite this time around? "There are more suicides related to unemployment and the market crash then troop deaths in BOTH wars." Hooo baby......<br /><br />It would be even funnier if he used a shred of logic every now and again, and threw in one correctly spelled complete sentence just for yucks.Diogeneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138837243963257069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-70138284061395035332009-06-14T20:10:01.171-06:002009-06-14T20:10:01.171-06:00Oh, and by the way, I don't censor responses. ...Oh, and by the way, I don't censor responses. I'm a big fan of open communication. If you make idiot statements, I'll ridicule you mercilessly, but I'll let you have your say.<br /><br />It's called "freedom of speech" - you know, one of the things the Republicans don't support any more.<br /><br />(Admittedly, if I was to get robo-responses or legions of idiots with nothing to say but "you suck," I might reconsider, but that hasn't come up yet. I can take insults - I just don't support spam.)Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-47663989057097624532009-06-14T20:06:14.941-06:002009-06-14T20:06:14.941-06:00That's the thing. It's the language of fea...That's the thing. It's the language of fear. Anything you don't agree with, you cast in the worst possible light. That's why, for the last eight years, we've been hearing "traitor" and "hates the troops" anytime anybody disagrees with going to war with (in this case) Iraq.<br /><br />It's exaggeration for political effect. You take some minor point (in this case, "he's spending a lot of money!") and you blow it up to practically biblical proportions ("he's bankrupting the country!" "He's selling our grandchildren into slavery!").<br /><br />It's what Cheney's busy wandering around doing at the moment. "He's removing some of our more draconian security measures" doesn't sound nearly as scary as "He's opening us up for attack!"<br /><br />And it's not just Cheney. It's the language of the Far Right. "Socialist," "Communist" and "Fascist" don't mean anything when they say it, other than "I disagree with this position, so I'm going to call it by the most negative term I can find."Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-79425581969989708132009-06-14T16:11:50.278-06:002009-06-14T16:11:50.278-06:00Here's one of the other "issues" I j...Here's one of the other "issues" I just don't get, NC... maybe you can help me out.<br /><br />We hear often about how Obama and the Democrats are trying to "bankrupt the country." But I have to ask: why? What's in its for them to bankrupt the country? Once bankrupt, what do they DO with it? Where do they go from there? Does it make any sense whatsoever that, one they've bankrupted the country, our citizens will then say "Good work, guys. You've prove your worth. Now go ahead and get ready of this whole democracy thing and install yourselves as the governing party in perpetuity."<br /><br />I guess the answer is in the question, really. I've made the mistake, once again, of assuming that most people can connect dots, or add 2 plus 2. These guys can't.<br /><br />Thanks for allowing me to post what Doofus won't!Diogeneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138837243963257069noreply@blogger.com
