This blog normally maintains a higher standard of discourse than that."<br /><br />hmmm.<br /><br />Do you say that as a typical, generic liberal? Or do you fancy yourself an Original? <br />The "intellectual discourse" on this blog is not normally "higher", at least not what I've seen. I'm about average, so I think you're just trying to insult me in that intellectual liberal way, n'est-ce pas?<br /> <br />Having spent most of my life as a "liberal" I know whereof I jeer. Nobody deserves it more, because nobody does it better themselves.<br /><br />We know all the liberal blah blah. All MSM, my old college text books, and a town full of moonbats with $200,000 plus a year jobs, million dollar houses, kids in private schools and Obama stickers on their bumpers. I think most of their jobs depend on government (party matters little) theft from the taxpayer, so it's understandable. <br /><br /> While I understand you mode of insult, what I don't get is the assertion that the talking points are somehow "dead?" Says who? You, the generic liberal?<br />The talking points here are intensely alive. People are worried for their financial lives and the continuation of their culture, and in some cases, their very identity. What I want to know is, what makes your "talking points" alive? To us, I mean. As long as you make lots of money and can get away from the consequences of your beliefs and actions, perhaps it doesn't matter. However, many of the rest of us can't. That's part of what makes a "conservative" as I have found out. <br /><br />But I'm all for free speech. May the best Bot win.<br />Go do battle with all those generic conversatives you say you know so well. There are forums full of those with little worldly experience, where your insights might seem original and pungent and could perhaps inflict some mortal wounds. Times a-wasting here, where you won't convince anybody, certainly not yours truly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-5680029399596093082009-11-24T07:31:30.607-08:002009-11-24T07:31:30.607-08:00"Dutch Boy said...

Most of the stuff deemed "the essence of serious politics" these days - from cap 'n' trade to naming all the two-by-four five-revolutions-per-decade nominal nations on the other side of the globe's crust has and had as much to do with the citizens of the USA and their real interests as the fine print in a Dungeons & Dragons rule book has. Ninety-nine percent of what's on the broken Beltway or is in the media is bogglingly irrelevant, a criminal distraction from the deliberate decline and destruction of our interests as a people and nation. It's a load of elitist horses---- excreted and accreted over the past 60 years, full of sound and fury, signifying not much.<br /><br />The POTUS is *neither* President of the World *nor* of Harvard University *nor* of dual citizens in New York City. I want *my* POTUS to keep taxes low, immigrants out, our nose out of foreign quarrels, and to reduce the debt. She can do these things (with her party - or without it) in complete sentences or in fragments; either way is fine with me.<br /><br />But this is not a position to sit well with the following people, who likely find the mad minutiae I reviewed to be just their element:<br /><br />> "What I hear is she's an awful anti-Semite," George Friedberg said as he sat curbside in his Escalade. "She won't be getting my vote." Friedberg's wife, Florence, appeared at the passenger-side door, shopping bags in hand. "I was leaning towards McCain, but after he selected her I've ruled him out completely.

Is relatively virtuous in a society filled with those who are not (although I have a problem with a woman who takes care of politics first rather than her family)<br />5. Is widely disliked on the Left for obscure reasons likely related to race/religion/class and the Left's general psychological disorientation<br />6. Is not remotely qualified to be the chief executive of the USA for the reasons cited above and because the lacunae in her mind and education have been filled with NeoCon Republicanism (she was halfway there already with her Christian Zionism).Dutch Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687679491743923216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-76547302894581512472009-11-20T13:24:52.412-08:002009-11-20T13:24:52.412-08:00Reactionary,

He goes to Co0penhagen with Oprah and wife along, gives lame speeches about himself and expects the world to vote for Chicago just because he lived there. The world voted alright. He's so lame when Fraveau and Co. are not his script writers. Go on being the Palin "fan" you claim to be.
