Good answer but directed at the wrong person.

OK. you believe what you choose and I will believe what I choose, and it doesn't mean either of us is wrong or right. The beauty of living in America is that we are free to disagree and to explore whatever it is we believe. Thank you for an intelligent exchange of ideas.

Thank you for a civil engagement of differences. It is somewhat uncommon and always a pleasure to encounter.

***DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!***

Thats how I respond to those who are civil in their discourse with me.

Racist? Without a doubt...also funny.

Thanks, Arpig. I haven't finished reading all the rationalizations, denials, and attempts to make this a conversation about Republicanls (funny so far, though!), but it's nice to see someone can call it.

Right,....if they agree w/ your immature analysis.<snicker>

You know, great beer demands great responsibility.Heard that on the radio.

Does that mean that crappy beer demands only crappy responsibility?

On a dry sterile piece of paper it may,but we all know better than to say something so ridiculous.Well,<snicker> most of us do.

So, are you saying that they are dumb, or gullible or both?

And you know this because you are so much smarter and wiser in the way of the world, I suppose?

Look at the from the other (correct) end of the telescope. If you can't see how their "stated interest" and actions match, perhaps it is you who has the problem, and not them?

Firm

No, I know this because we have people supporting issues they have no stake in.

How many times on here have you seen people advocating a repeal of the estate tax?

How many of these people will actually benefit from it?

Dumb? Gullible? I don't know. How would you explain it?

Do they not understand that the the repeal of the estate tax will have to mean that the shortfall in government revenue has to be made up in increased taxes somewhere?

So yes, i think it is both dumb and gullible to let multi-millionaire inheritors off the hook for taxes so you have the privilege of subsidizing their lifestyle.

Start a thread.

The start of medicine was more Galen than Arabs, and I think Astrology started in Babylon.

If Maher had offered a different analogy, using Blackwater mercenaries with electrodes,waterboards, bamboo splints and pliers to torture agreements out of the BP execs.,would that be racist comment against white Christian conservatives?

Just say`n.

What? You think Blackwater and CIA don't have employees of various pigmentation persuasions?

You should maybe mediatate on how you come to such a conclusion. It says something about your character that you believe things like this.
