Still Hating America.

I think it is the fact that it does skeeve us out that makes weed and others mock your naive statement.

That I articulated something many inferred doesn't mean I was being naive. That's a common misperception on the boards.

It's also worth noting the post I was replying to was pretty naive, so I figured strident and obvious was an appropriate response.

I also write posts like that to make sure that in later posts people don't accuse me of being inconsistent.

Yes, the idea I'm "creating a record," in litigation speak, on an internet chat board, does make me a huge tool in that regard. Thankfully, as my history proves, this senseless attention to detail is rare.

I was ready to give you the benefit of the doubt and call it "branding." Tool.

Whoa, wait, were we talking about globalization, or about mortgage-backed securities? Are you still drunk from last night?

I like the "mortgaged back securities" concept.

I'm doing that a lot in things I write these days. I think I'm beginning to finally sucumb to the ravages of some of those things I did a long time ago that I knew weren't good for me.

My simple point, which you recognize, was that not everyone on Wall St will be immune from the sort of financial fallout the middle and lower middle clas is suffering right now. I selected that market because of all the press it's getting and because it is an example of a "Trickle Up" or "Trickle Back" effect, wherein the people at the top wind up getting hurt by policies they think will only hurt the people at the bottom (predatory or reckless lending). I offered it to suggest that perhaps Wall St was not as immune to the pains the rest of us suffer as Weed might have thought.

Granted, I didn't bridge it well, but considering we've all known each other a long time, and I've met Weed and assume from the scant sober elements of his personality I observed, couple with his knowledge of my opacity in these discussions, that he would recognize the "bridge."

Ahem.

It could be either a commodities vehicle (I'm thinking swine) or some sort of queer swap some oddball derivative fruticake could only understand. Either way, I'm going to start posting aboutit on the CNBC boards and see how it takes for Jim Cramer to say it has "explosive growth potential."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky

A Chicago community organizer. In the air lately because Hillary Rodham wrote her thesis at Wellesley about him, and Barack Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago after college, so arguably he is an important figure for understanding both of them. This importance can be overstated: Those who've read HRC's thesis say that she was no unquestioning devotee of his, and Obama was doing his thing two decades after Alinsky died.

this post : Jonah Goldberg's rantings :: me : Slave's post about Rosie, Pelosi, etc.

This would almost be clever but for the fact it is a flat bald-faced lie.

The public face of the Left is NOT that of some sober, intelligent, thoughtful moderate liberal.

It is that of odious morons like Rosie O'Donnell. Or Sean Penn. Or Michael Moore. Or Cindy Sheehan.

And who are the leading "liberal" pundits given a platform to indoctrinate millions and millions of the unwashed masses? Well let's see, that would be such geniuses as Katie Couric and Keith Olbermann.

Even that unfunny clod Al Franken - constantly paraded around as the "smart" guy - is a far-left moonbat.

So - despite your constant efforts to "Say it ain't so!" - the bottom line is that these uber-Left morons ARE the face of your party. The public face - and with all the dollars being funnelled by Soros, Hollyweird and the Kossacks to the DNC - the private face too.

And Pelosi, Murtha, et al have clearly demonstrated they are beholden to these thugs.

What ever happened to "name, rank and serial number"?


Oh yeah, and what happened to the outrage over Iran violating Geneva Convention protocols?
