America has become more like the place my ancestors left, aristocracy, wage and debt slavery, cossacks, uncircumcised philistines, power-mad czars, money-crazed mucky-mucks, sanctimonious swindlers and everything.

He/she said: “What we see here is lefties who deny, ignore, and purposely obfuscate the facts when they are presented to them” …. “The facts are, real conservatism works every time it’s tried. Conservative principles built the economy, the social structure, the very nation itself.”….”Those on the far-left are willing to utterly ruin the United States because they have nothing to lose but their mediocrity.”

Tired conservative talking points (not independent thinking) lifted from Rush Limbaugh and Ayn Rand.

Want some FACTS, O. Bigfoot?

How about the facts at the top of the page? –

“Rich are getting richer faster” – Re-read it.

The difference is not a small one.

You think supply-side and Milton Friedman’s sacred “free market” are helping anyone but the elite top 2-5% of the population, who can afford large investments in multi-national and trans-national wealth? No, these policies and lack of regulations and tax giveaways are HURTING 95-98% of the U.S. population.

btw – are you one of the top 2% that’s made out like a bandit (literally) under Bu$hco?

Yet Sweden, the most progressive of all countries, does exist, and its citizens are doing quite well.

for gitr, and biggie, fairness is optional, an un-necessary construct.

(though I’m certain they’ve both had occasions in life to decare that such-and-so was “unfair” to them…but that was different, right guys?)

I’m sorry fellas, but if you’re spinning and twisting to support the idea that fairness is wrong, or not to be expected by citizens of free, democratic countries, you’re beyond hope – utterly.

and there is the proof of gitrdone’s soullessness, right there, as if the rich could gain anything if they had to do the work themselves. Sorry, g, you’re really too stupid to live. Good thing you’re in Canada, where they take care of losers like you.

Socialism is what this country was founded on, and what made us strong and great. Conservatism is the champion of slavery, limited rights, and profit over people. Conservatism is a dying philosophy, thankfully. Consevatives in Canada, as in the USA, drive up trade imbalances and national debt, while looting the treasury. Conser4vatives are mentally ill, and soulless as well; proud of their ignorance and cruelty, all for a few more bucks, so they can unsuccessfully attempt to make up for their lack of humanity. Gitrdone’s lack of soul and humanity is best expressed by his claim that money is the only motivation in life. That shows an empty carcass masquerading as a human being, who has no education or understanding of real human motivation.

Maybe for you.

Damn, what a whiner.

(and, i was really just kidding with the beavers-and-syrup stuff, but actual american righties aren’t, when they say stuff like that)

no one, in case you hadn’t noticed, is advocating stripping the wealthy of their wealth. no one here is recommending we go to a communist government.

all anyone here is interested in is some actual economic fairness, instead of a pack of empty platitudes and cliches, like your pal bigfoot dispenses. his point of view is worth just as much as a fortune cookie, or a losing lottery ticket.

if that’s “radical” and “loony” then, so be it.

rising tides lift all boats equally – not just some.

is that too much to ask, gitrdone?

Yes I’m Canadian, but we are no different from Americans. We have conservatives in power and they are doing a fine job at balancing our fiscal balance, we have some of the lowest debt, we have a very healthy fiscal account, our wages are rising dramatically and the country has never been in better shape.

My province in Alberta is ran by conservative government, we have no debt, we have the highest incomes in Canada, the highest economic growth in North America, the most millionaires per capita but we also have universal healthcare. We have very nice living standards here.

You guys shouldn’t label all conservatives the same. You could say we are ran by moderate conservatives, but they don’t blame everything on the rich. We respect our high income earners, they contribute the most taxes just like in the U.S. And we realize that.

that would explain why he never responds directly to factual information, and never realizes when he’s been refuted, dismissed, and asked nicely to dispense his claptrap elsewhere.
