Reply to 20 quick facts about the proposed stimulus package in Politics Stardock Forums

[quote who="Noumenon72" comment="7"] I am sorry Brad, but I have to give Obama a chance before I criticize his actions. Otherwise, we will get slammed with "why all this hate for our President" articles. My dad summarized this attitude as "You gotta swear him in before you cuss him out." [/quote] Are you suggesting that you think we should just try out this bill, that is currently in congress, and wait until it is a disaster before objecting?<

I can't remember who said this but someone commented that the only way not to be in favor of slavery would be to abolish the income tax which is nonsense. Me paying for a public service (whether i use it or not) is a very big difference than having money taken from me to be given to someone else as a cash payment.

[quote]So I'll quit smoking, you lose weight, and all will be right with the world, hmm?[/quote] Not really since we pay for our own health care and yours. I don't begrudge paying for your health care and disability. That's not what Jill is saying either. What she (and I) do begrudge are the people who complain how we spend our money as a justification for having the government take from us to give to other people who are typically even more wasteful than we are

[quote] I would be cool with the ideas expressed in the blog by JillUser as long as what is good for the Goose is good for the Gander . If you buy a Lamborghini and wear $5000 dresses/suits than perhaps you don't have the right to question where your taxes go (arguably you don't have enough discretion in where your personal wealth goes to judge where tax money should be allocated anyway).[/quote] So you don't recognize a difference between wha

BTW, anyone reading the comments here can hopefully observe that rather than the liberals commenting arguing whether Time is biased or not they try to redirect the conversation into other areas.

BTW, re Wikipedia and waterboarding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Waterboarding Wikipedia is certainly not one to define such terms because it is dominated by the left as the talking page for waterboarding makes clear. The left, as Myrrander makes pretty clear, tend to be utterly hopeless when trying to engage in intellectual debate.

[quote]Now it is your turn to tell me, what is your solution to our problems? Perhaps you have the answers, and will know exactly what to do. Because being depressed, and looking at the sky to fall on me, is not my answer to being proactive![/quote] Here would be my first piece of advice: Rather than confiscating money from successful people and businesses to give to unsuccessful people and businesses, the government should stop doing that.

[quote]I saw you post something not long ago saying that when you had to pay more taxes, you didn't suffer, you just didn't hire as much. Wouldn't it make more sense to suffer and still hire people you thought might increase your market value and recognition? Because even if you keep your same paycheck, if nobody has the money to buy your shitty games and inferior Windows software...suddenly you become the boss of nobody. And nobody laments your company's demise, because you

[quote]It becomes a long comment to you article to go any further. The Republican party from 1968 on has done more than rest on the laurels of their reputation -- they have done everything they can to pull the most self-centered, racist, un-educated, paranoid people of the country into their fold, all the while spouting shit about Abraham Lincoln.

[quote]Very true. Of course, it's rather like saying that Queen Elizabeth II is the same as Queen Victoria -- 150 years changes a lot about what a party stands for -- both from Lincoln to Bush for Republicans and from James Buchanan to Barack Obama for the Democrats. The parties each meant something different back then. I understand you're pissed off about where your party went over the years, but we Democrats are kinda glad we changed. That's why we call oursel

The left reads an article about how the government should be bigger or how tax cuts were the cause of deficits and say "Well yes, of course, that's common sense." You can argue that Time is statist but that's really just se

[quote]So while I agree the article(s) you focused on were left wing, it doesn't necessarily mean that Time is left wing.[/quote] There wasn't a single politically oriented article that I could find that wasn't liberal. Time is liberal. People who scream about Fox News have rarely watched it. On the other hand, I have read Time and Newsweek (though less than less because I have alternatives) and see the chronic left-wing slant that seems to grow each year.

Disclaimer: If you are one of those people who determine who they like based on esoteric political views you should probably not read further and moreover, might want to reconsider your priorities. For everyone else... It seems like I'm constantly hearing from liberals how Fox News is just so right wing. They almost never give examples of what they mean by that. Is Hannity right wing? Definitely. How about O'Reilly? He's certainly not liberal but

For the record, I was against Proposition 8 in California. I don't think the state should involve itself in what legal arrangements consenting adults make. If two gay people want to get married, that's fine with me. That said, the people of California voted (again) and they have decided that they don't want the state to acknowledge gay marriage. Now Google comes along and tries to sue to hav
