LOL, what a buffoon! Yeah, let’s reread one of your posts.

So, you’d take aircraft maufacturing specialists, with decades of experience each – and stick shovels in their hands? Try Communist Vietnam, and “re-education camps,” Fred.

That is one world class straw man you set up there, you fool.

I challenge you to draw the line. What is “good” defense spending, and what is “bad” defense spending? Should we stop making ammo chutes for Apaches, and learn to build aqueducts? Who’s going to swallow the transition costs?

Comment by barfly

Don’t worry your little neocon mind about it. The amount of money we waste on defense spending will easily cover any transition costs.

Oh yeah, that is Reaganomics.”

You must like strawmen. Re-read my posts.

So, you are saying we must continue to bankrupt the country with massive defense spending for no other reason than to keep aircraft manufacturing specialists employed, while our infrastructure deteriorates because road and bridge repair specialists sit idle for lack of funds to employ them?

Oh yeah, that is Reaganomics.

Comment by barfly

Each person must find their own way. Why continue the “corporate welfare” for “skilled” workers, if their wares aren’t truly needed?

THAT reeks of socialism more than your binary option.

That’s a silly comparison. So, you’d take aircraft maufacturing specialists, with decades of experience each – and stick shovels in their hands? Try Communist Vietnam, and “re-education camps,” Fred.

That just shows how many moronic right-wingers are willing to put down cash for a book full of lies written by a fellow dumbass wingnut.

We saw Goldberg get destroyed by Jon Stewart on A Daily Show last week, when the fool tried to equate fascism with liberalism and socialism. The problem with that is, Jonah Goldberg doesn’t get to decide what fascism is. The guy who invented fascism already did that.

Benito Mussolini:
What is Fascism, 1932

Fascism [is] the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism…

Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness…

And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society….

After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application.

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority…a century of Fascism.

see if it rings any bells.

You spelled it wrong, it’s supposed to be “Conserv666ative”, as in anti-Christian war mongering black hearted micreants.

Comment by republicans hate facts

He meant the Iraq Federal Highway System.

Everything they’ve done to destroy our country they’ve wrapped in a 9-11 blanket.

Just as it is now known that past wars have been based on lies.

It will someday also be known that this administration was way more than just a spoke in the wheel of the machine that planned 9-11.

Comment by rocks911

Yeah, the right-wing fanatics who call themselves Republicans these days are so far gone they would consider Dwight Eisenhower a communist.

“To protect the vital interest of every citizen in a safe and adequate highway system, the Federal Government is continuing its central role in the Federal Aid Highway Program.”- Dwight Eisenhower 1954 SOTU Address

Comment by barfly

yeah…..I think I understand your point, it smacks of something FDR might have done…..is that what the guess what part is?

And sending jobs overseas as the Republic666ans have loved to do since Raygun is, what… patriotic I suppose.

Ending the stranglehold of the MIC as President Eisenhower warned is the priority, if you’ve got to find a different job so be it. Maybe you could assemble strawmen.
