Or how to use a computer. Or how to build things. And while you are at it, treat them like adults and make it a point to encourage them to try.

Don’t hand out fish. You just end up with pissed off serfs that smell funky.

Any questions?

The measure of a decent society is how it treats them.

It looks more like the “social safety net” only works until the slave force has been established, which then causes slave revolts.

Hobo, you’re confused. Liberals campaign for higher taxes to pay for the social safety net, which benefits the most vulnerable citizens.

This is only empirical generalization, reflecting some tendencies in American political tradition. It applies when distribution of attitudes is unimodal, as a back of one-humped camel. But it does not, when distribution becomes bimodal, as a back of two-humped camel. This occur when the middle sinks; exactly this is called polarization. And there are lots of signs of this process nowadays. The 9/11 was a such polarizing event, and more of this kind can occur in foreseeable future: new Israel-Arab war, nuclearization of Iran and so on. Whether it can overcome inertia of political tradition and when this can happen – this is an open question. Some psychoses tend to be progradient, that is their symptoms became progressively more severe. I would not bet that in 2008 election The law of Thirds would still be applicable.

Yes, the race was won by the center third ‘moderates’, but, guess what? You got all of them. The extreme leftists, who run the party are now in power. Rangel & Co. will raise your taxes, yes, that is what ‘letting the Bush tax cuts die’ means. We will redefine victory in Iraq to be ‘cut-and-run’ from there. Which, if you have been paying attention, OBL says is a WIN for him and his.

Up is down, back is forward. The caviar socialists are going to show you how much they love the common man. You know, like JK loves the troops. They have utter disdain for people they view as the ‘lower classes’. They are the same ilk that won the Communist revolution for Lenin. The intelligensia, the intellectuals, the first ones Beria put against the wall and shot.

Welcome to the new collective.

The Hobo

They are SO full of hate. And halfwits basically. What was that book? The closing of the American mind? Its here on display. Ymarsakar in particular yearns for the sanctuary of a sheltered workshop, no doubt where he belongs….this post wont be up long, but then neither will what passes for ideas here.

War is peace now it seems.

The fact that he accepted money and support from those who his party opposes says it all as to his integrity.

He has none.

That’s just… wow. Did you just say that going contrary to the popular opinion means you have no integrity, or that simply anybody disagreeing with the Democrats means you have no integrity? In either case, that’s an astounding degree of authoritarianism.
