It's worked every time it has been done.The more money a company makes, the 
more it can expand and create new and more jobs, more tax payers.It also allows 
investors to be paid more for their dollar of investment. That means your 
pension plan thrives instead of shrinks. Almost all major pension plans are 
heavily invested in big businesses. If you want to screw the big business, 
you're screwing the all of the investors that hope to retire with a nice 
pension one day. What goes around , comes around.

 Re: "While taxes were reduced, revenues more than doubled."

The argument that the near-doubling of revenues during Reagan's two terms 
proves the value of tax cuts is an old argument. It's also extremely flawed. 
At 99.6 percent, revenues did nearly double during the 80s. However, they had 
likewise doubled during EVERY SINGLE DECADE SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION! They 
went up 502.4% during the 40's, 134.5% during the 50's, 108.5% during the 60's, 
and 168.2% during the 70's. At 96.2 percent, they nearly doubled in the 90s as 
well. Hence, claiming that the Reagan tax cuts caused the doubling of revenues 
is like a rooster claiming credit for the dawn.
Furthermore, the receipts from individual income taxes (the only receipts 
directly affected by the tax cuts) went up a lower 91.3 percent during the 
80's. Meanwhile, receipts from Social Insurance, which are directly affected by 
the FICA tax rate, went up 140.8 percent. This large increase was largely due 
to the fact that the FICA tax rate went up 25% from 6.13 to 7.65 percent of 
payroll. 
The reference to the doubling of revenues under Reagan commonly refers to TOTAL 
revenues. These include the above-mentioned Social Insurance revenues for which 
the tax rate went UP. It seems highly hypocritical to include these revenues 
(which were likely bolstered by the tax hike) as proof for the effectiveness of 
a tax cut.
Hence, what evidence there is suggests there to be a correlation between lower 
taxes and LOWER revenues, not HIGHER revenues as suggested by supply-siders. 
There may well be valid arguments in favor of tax cuts. But higher tax revenues 
does not appear to be one of them.

 Obama is a centrist, like Clinton was. The only difference is the color of his 
skin. His concern over the demise of social programs is well founded, when our 
previous President advocated the destruction of Social Security. "Put it all in 
the stock market", he and his cronies said, and he would have, but he had no 
mandate from Congress. A good thing, as we would have had millions in the 
street when the market crashed.
 

 I am not in favor of handouts, but the current Republican domestic philosophy, 
and tax policy, seems to be, "I got mine, screw you", justified on the basis of 
some waste and corruption wrt social services programs. A very cold-hearted way 
of thinking, and obviously biased when no such scrutiny is applied to say, 
military programs, or corporate welfare.

 Nice post. I find it quite humorous that the new bugaboo word seems to have 
moved from the term "communism" to "socialism" in the US. It is like many 
Americans don't recognize that social programs, ie anything that the government 
either provides or subsidizes in the form of hand outs (money and/or services) 
are everywhere in our country from the building of roads to the running of 
public schools (not to mention social security and welfare). I just don't get 
what the big deal is. It is as if many live within an imagined ideology of what 
America stands for or is in terms of democracy and capitalism and that anything 
beyond this imagined perfect system is anathema and something to be shunned and 
even feared.

 Obama is a centrist, like Clinton was. The only difference is the color of his 
skin. His concern over the demise of social programs is well founded, when our 
previous President advocated the destruction of Social Security. "Put it all in 
the stock market", he and his cronies said, and he would have, but he had no 
mandate from Congress. A good thing, as we would have had millions in the 
street when the market crashed.
 

 I am not in favor of handouts, but the current Republican domestic philosophy, 
and tax policy, seems to be, "I got mine, screw you", justified on the basis of 
some waste and corruption wrt social services programs. A very cold-hearted way 
of thinking, and obviously biased when no such scrutiny is applied to say, 
military programs, or corporate welfare.

   Re: "While taxes were reduced, revenues more than doubled."

 

 The argument that the near-doubling of revenues during Reagan's two terms 
proves the value of tax cuts is an old argument. It's also extremely flawed. 
 

 At 99.6 percent, revenues did nearly double during the 80s. However, they had 
likewise doubled during EVERY SINGLE DECADE SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION! They 
went up 502.4% during the 40's, 134.5% during the 50's, 108.5% during the 60's, 
and 168.2% during the 70's. At 96.2 percent, they nearly doubled in the 90s as 
well. Hence, claiming that the Reagan tax cuts caused the doubling of revenues 
is like a rooster claiming credit for the dawn.
 

 Furthermore, the receipts from individual income taxes (the only receipts 
directly affected by the tax cuts) went up a lower 91.3 percent during the 
80's. Meanwhile, receipts from Social Insurance, which are directly affected by 
the FICA tax rate, went up 140.8 percent. This large increase was largely due 
to the fact that the FICA tax rate went up 25% from 6.13 to 7.65 percent of 
payroll. 
 

 The reference to the doubling of revenues under Reagan commonly refers to 
TOTAL revenues. These include the above-mentioned Social Insurance revenues for 
which the tax rate went UP. It seems highly hypocritical to include these 
revenues (which were likely bolstered by the tax hike) as proof for the 
effectiveness of a tax cut.
 

 Hence, what evidence there is suggests there to be a correlation between lower 
taxes and LOWER revenues, not HIGHER revenues as suggested by supply-siders. 
There may well be valid arguments in favor of tax cuts. But higher tax revenues 
does not appear to be one of them.

No, the rope in this tug-a-war just needs to be pulled to a little too 
the left. It's gone too far right and so far into the hands of the 
0.001%.  Even a lot "conservatives" dislike that.  You seem to be one of 
the few still stuck in this "rich good, poor bad" Tarzan think that 
0.001%'er Rupert Murdoch promotes.


And Mike, the guy I do some software projects for started outsourcing 
several years ago.  It had nothing to do with government regulations 
because software development is pretty much "hands off" when it comes to 
government.  It's just that the cost of living in some of these 
countries is lower and so these companies can charge far less for a 
project yet their workers still live well.  The high cost of living in 
the US is out of whack and artificial due to credit.  Economists will 
tell you the last time it was in balance was the mid 1970s.  Back then 
you could still earn minimum wage yet enjoy life.

So what do the folks in Galveston think about paying higher taxes so

That's a scam and a half.  Which was perpetrated by Wall Street to get

of these employees are ready to retire and they'll get nothing.  
Pensions weren't originally intended to be this way.


You are aware that many boomers have taken SS earlier they they wanted 
to partly to make sure they even got some of it since after all we 
contributed.  The other part was how badly the banksters screwed our 
economy and folks who could have kept working into their 70s and have 
lots of good experience can't find work anymore. Totally upside down and 
crazy.


The economic collapse of 2008 was due to Democratic policies made 
during the Clinton years that Democratic congressmen stood in the way 
of changing when it was discovered that they were creating problems. 
Case in point, in 2001 Bush and later John McCain warned of the 
problems within the Community Redevelopment Act that was causing 
problems and that Fannie Mae wouldn't be able to handle it. Jesse 
Jackson and perhaps Al Sharpton were putting pressure on banks to get 
poor people into their own houses. Banks reluctantly made the loans 
and bundled them and passed them on to other risk takers, eventually 
ending up with Fannie Mae that then collapsed. Barny Frank had been 
warned there was a problem looming and refused to allow any 
adjustments to made. The housing market collapsed then the banks 
failed that were involved in extending the risky loans.


So what flavor kool-aid is Fox News mixing up these days?  Maybe there

You left out a couple of other conditions as to why it is cheaper to do 
business overseas. Not just government regulation but also taxation and Unions. 
Union demands have been unreasonable in many cases. Many unions make so many 
demands that businesses just find it worthwhile to shut down here and reopen in 
a foreign country and ship their products back here. Unions drove the textile 
industry out of the US and overseas many years ago. The same is going for 
various other manufacturing industries. Who was it, Boeing, that wanted to move 
their operations from Washington state to North or South Carolina where they 
would be in a right to work state. As far as I remember Obama put a stop to 
that.

Well, you missed a good one.  A mix of irony, humor, reality and fact.  I left 
what would likely be the most "offensive" parts to you in the article and cut 
out and am posting the reality, for the record.  A counter to the illusionary 
and delusionary "rags" you feed your malleable brain.  There's a nice little 
"conservative commentary" at the end that reminds me of you. :) 

"But what I will do is repeat something I’ve said plenty of times.  President 
Obama does not  want to take away your damn guns.  

 No, the the Second Amendment isn’t under attack. 
 

 Under the plan Obama spoke of back in January you could still own thousands of 
guns. You could still own bullets. Hell, you could still own semi-automatics.  
There was absolutely no limit on how many guns you could own. What Obama 
proposed was the same assault weapon ban we had until just a few years ago.  
Did the world end, and tyranny take over, because of this ban?  No.  It’s the 
very same ban George W. Bush has been quoted as saying he felt should have been 
renewed in 2004.  A ban on the same weapons George H. Bush and Ronald Reagan 
both said had no place in the hands of ordinary civilians. 
 

 President Obama also said he supported a ban on magazines that hold more than 
10 rounds.  You don’t need more than 10 bullets to hunt or defend yourself—and 
if you do, you probably shouldn’t be operating any kind of firearms to begin 
with. 
 

 Sorry sport shooters, I can’t support high-capacity magazines simply for sport 
shooting.  Ranges can be allowed to own these for sport purposes, but they 
shouldn’t be privately owned. 
 

 He also supported universal background checks.  What kind of delusional fools 
oppose a background check for all gun purchases?  Well, we know which Senators 
oppose this law.  Thankfully over 80% of Americans don’t.  But seriously, you 
can’t even debate against universal background checks and if you try, you’re 
just proving your own ignorance. 
 

 Another thing he proposed was funding for enhanced resources to prevent 
mentally ill people from obtaining guns.  Again, what imbecile opposes actions 
that seek to prevent mentally ill individuals from obtaining dangerous weapons? 
 

 He said we need increased funding for more law enforcement officers, funding 
to provide researchers the resources to study why people do these heinous acts 
and funding for schools to have armed security on campus if they so wish. 
 

 None of that is an attack on the Second Amendment, it’s called using common 
sense. Just because our Constitution gives us a right, doesn’t mean that right 
can’t have problems that need solutions.  I support the right for gun ownership 
as a gun owner myself, but I also support sensible regulations of that right to 
try and prevent some of these horrific acts of violence. 
 

 Here’s my example of the difference between a liberal and a conservative 
talking about guns: 
 

 Liberal: I believe in sensible gun regulations that limit high-capacity 
magazines and some semi-automatic rifles.  I believe that Americans have the 
right to own handguns for self-defense and rifles for hunting.  However, I 
believe the selling of guns and their ammunition should be regulated with 
background checks to ensure the wrong people can’t simply walk into a gun show 
or their local Walmart and illegally purchase these items. 
 

 Conservative: Socialist liberals just want to turn law-abiding citizens into 
criminals.  You know Hitler banned guns too, right?  Bacon kills people every 
year, guess you people believe we should ban bacon?  Obesity kills people every 
day, should we ban the spoons people use to eat with?  Guns don’t kill people, 
people kill people.  The only way to stop bad people with guns, are good people 
with guns.  Our government fears an armed populace!  You’ll get my guns when 
you take them from my cold dead hands. Do you see the difference?  I know it’s 
subtle."

I cited the tech industry which doesn't have any unions.  In fact most 
startups and companies wanted avoid unions so they learned to treat the 
workers well with free food and even rec rooms to blow off steam.  In 
return they turned some of their young fools into tech monks.  However 
research by places like HP (before Carly ruined the place) showed that 
working more than 50 hours a week was counter productive.  Google will 
hire a college grad  for their "sandbox" but if they don't produce in a 
year they're gone and probably hoping to get a job as a barista at 
Starbucks.  Nothing funnier than watching a young tech geek trying to 
make your drink. In one case I cracked up when the assistant manager 
told the noobie geek that "this isn't a chemistry lab" when he wanted to 
"exactly" measure things.  The assistant manager then turned to me and 
(rolling her eyes) said "pray for me." :-D

over four years during the Clinton administration and is now a law professor at 
Stanford Law School. Gould disagreed with the NLRB decision to open hearings 
against Boeing but says the White House would be far removed from those 
activities.

 Obama is a centrist, like Clinton was. The only difference is the color of his

 Any God. The God of money, the Nature God - take your pick - but somebody

 Foggy thinking - your ordinary manner. 
 

 Foggy interpretation on your part, not to mention lack of sensitivity and 
imagination.
  
 Guess you must worship one of those murderous Semite tyrant deities … like 
yhvh, hesoos, allah. 
 

 Sure, sure, whatever you say. You have plenty of words to describe your 
deities but that's all they are - words.
  
 However, like most women, your statements in the end always falter and devolve 
to the personal. 
 

 HO, HO, HO, Hee, Hee, hee ha. Your emptypants are showing. What is it with 
these forums that attract misogynists? LOL. Maybe your lack of accountability 
as well as your anonymity is too tempting to resist acting like the ass you 
really are. To save you trouble in the real world simply apply a paper bag to 
your head and when addressing those you want to insult you can do so within the 
safety of your perceived invisibility.
  
 As for “He likes to post stuff that others just ignore” … again, you are 
fantasizing. Most of the time when I post a new topic, readers hop on the 
runaway train and post, post, post. Marxists and pseudo-Maoists like to wring 
their hands and censure, condemn, denounce. 
 

 Are the terms "Marxist" and "pseudo-Maoists" not condemning and denouncing or 
is that your idea of lovingly whispered endearments?
  
 Why take any of it seriously? Over on FFL2, Turkey, Michael and Salyavin 
maintain their extended monologues with themselves. Silly Sal doesn't comment 
on my posts because she’s afraid I’ll ask her how many abortions she had. 
 

 You take me too seriously or perhaps that is simply your usual condition of  
possessing no humor/funny bone. 
  
 Group thinking, from those who claim to be beyond it, makes it all laughable.
 

 I can't imagine you laughing, smiling, brimming with hope or enthusiasm. I 
believe your term "laughable" is pure metaphor or, at least, another word or 
way of saying  "smirk-worthy". Do you think you'll go to your grave this

   Please put me on your list too. Barack Obama is one of our better 
Presidents. I find it appalling that the many racists in the US Congress see 
fit to obstruct him, simply because of the color of his skin. Anyway, just for 
you old white racists, I would LOVE it if we had another black man (or a black 
woman for a change) for President, only this time, two black parents, and that 
beautiful dark, dark skin and full lips. I hope whomever it is, they give you a 
big bear hug, a wet kiss on the cheek, and knock that silly pillow case off 
your pointed little head. 
 

 Merry Christmas to you, and in the TRUE spirit of Jesus Christ, May God Bless 
Barack Hussein Obama!!!

Geez Mike, Fox News is rotting your brain.  We are in more danger of a

say our current government is a right wing fascist government because it 
is run at the behest of the right wing military industrial complex.  As

fight off a right wing government which by the way will confiscate your

 Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI
 December 23, 2015
  
 I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am 
Kwanza-reform, and we are not that observant. Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively 
by white liberals, is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI 
stooge Ron Everett -- aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the 
violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. In the annals of the American 
'60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police. 
 
 In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of the '60s, the 
FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to 
discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better. By 
that criterion, Karenga's United Slaves was perfect. 
 
 
 Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the 
Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some of their most high-profile 
leaders were drug dealers and murderers, they did not seek armed revolution. 
 
 Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. The United Slaves were 
proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and 
adopting invented "African" names. 
 
 And hasn't that been a huge help to the black community? 
 
 It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglika," which he based on 
the philosophy of "Mein Kampf" -- and clueless public school teachers began 
celebrating the made-up, racist holiday. 
 
 Whether Karenga was a willing FBI dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. 
 
 In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the '70s, 
Karenga was quick to criticize Nigerian newspapers that claimed that certain 
American black radicals were CIA operatives. Karenga publicly denounced the 
idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives 
of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black Americans being 
CIA agents." 
 
 In a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-factly explained 
that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the "framed" murder of two whites 
included: "the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police 
Department" and so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further 
noted that the evidence against O.J. did not "eliminate unreasonable doubt" -- 
an interesting standard of proof.) 
 
 Now we know: The FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United 
Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot two Black 
Panthers to death on the UCLA campus: Al "Bunchy" Carter and John Huggins. 
Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position 
as a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach. 
 
 (Speaking of which, Rep. Paul Ryan certainly is right about what a fantastic 
job his mentor Jack Kemp did reaching out to all those "socially conservative" 
minorities. Look at how California has swung decisively to the right since Kemp 
started all that outreach stuff. Good luck winning California now, Democrats!) 
 
 Back to the esteemed Cal State professor: Karenga's invented holiday is a 
nutty blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. The seven 
principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese 
Liberation Army, another invention of the Worst Generation. 
 
 In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the 
banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for 
one of the SLA's revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, 
Nia, Kuumba and Imani. These are the exact same seven "principles" of Kwanzaa. 
And here's something interesting: Kawaida, Kwanzaa and Kuumba are also the only 
three Kardashian sisters not to have their own shows on the E! Network. 
 
 Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life -- economics, 
work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive to 
improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a village to raise 
a police snitch. When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy 
underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially said that, under 
Kawaida, we also hate whites. 
 
 While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" -- excluding, one 
hopes, mass murder, forced abortions, imprisonment of homosexuals and forced 
labor -- Karenga said Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity 
"determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding." 
 
 There's an inclusive philosophy for you! 
 
 Kwanzaa was the result of a '60s psychosis grafted onto the black community 
with the tacit

I don't believe that Obama faces opposition from the Republican Congress 
because he is black. That would be too simple.

supporter — and value honesty 
 Trump's words on Mexicans have been misconstrued by all sides. This liberal, 
Puerto Rican professor says enough 
 Alberto A. Martinez http://www.salon.com/?post_type=writer=14290300 
 

 It’s time to start cleaning up the mess of misinterpretations about Donald 
Trump.
 Back in June, I first saw Mr. Trump announcing his candidacy for president. 
What he said about unauthorized immigrants seemed ridiculous so I laughed. I 
showed the video to friends, and I laughed again. His words were poorly chosen.
 

 But something worse happened. People interpreted Trump’s words in the most 
awful and offensive ways.
 

 In one of my courses, at the University of Texas at Austin, I asked my 
students: “What has Donald Trump said that you found most offensive?” One 
student raised her hand high: “He said that all Mexicans are rapists.” I asked 
a coworker the same question. He replied: “He said that all Mexican immigrants 
are rapists.”
 

 I explained that Trump said no such thing. This is what Trump said:
 “When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our 
stupidity. […] When Mexico sends its people they’re not sending their best. 
They’re not sending you; they’re not sending you. They’re sending people that 
have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re 
bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, 
are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re 
getting.”
 

 You might well dislike Trump’s words. I did. But let’s not make it worse. He 
did not say that all Mexicans are rapists. Yet that’s what many commentators 
did. For example, Politico misquoted Trump by omitting his phrase about “good 
people.” They said he was “demonizing Mexicans as rapists.” They argued that 
Mexicans do not really commit more rapes in the U.S. than whites. But that’s 
not what Trump claimed.
 

 Similarly, other news sources misrepresented his words in offensive ways:
 The New York Times 
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/opinion/sunday/donald-trump-and-the-rise-of-the-moral-minority.html?_r=0:

I'm glad that it scares the *beejebers* out of you and I hope it does the same 
for many more! The second amendment was not just for personal protection, 
hobbyists  or for hunting rights, it was to protect the citizenry from a 
tyrannical government. When a government starts confiscating the people's hard 
earned wealth and property to redistribute and political parties use that 
*wealth* to buy votes and takes away or threatens peoples rights and freedoms 
guaranteed to them in the constitution, it is playing with fire.  This is the 
very reason the Democrats want ever increasing *gun control*. They don't 
enforce the laws on the books as it is because they want the ability to 
completely confiscate all weapons at a moments notice. Until then, their power 
grabs have to be incremental and modest occurring over generations. Yes, I want 
you to fear that mindset and would prefer that others like you move to Canada 
or elsewhere.

that black unemployment levels are the highest in decades, more people are on

nothing to show for it, that we owe much of that debt to China. That money 
generating businesses are leaving our country in droves.
Damn the fact that he threw hard fought, won and costly victories back to our

word of our leaders. That once dangerous terrorists that had been locked up 
have been returned to the battle field to continue killing again. Damn the fact 
that he opens our borders to whoever wants to come here, without due process, 
driving down wages for our own citizens, while subsidizing the substandard 
wages of the * illegal immigrants* with government social program hand outs 
that cost all other tax payers. Damn the fact that because of him,  the people 
have put more Republicans in office than any time since the end of the civil

give him just about anything he wants including another trillion dollar plus

brain can figure out that the purpose of these policies is to bring about a 
complete collapse of the current social and economic system in place and 
replacing it with the purest form of socialism which will not redistribute 
wealth but redistribute poverty and suffering. Be careful of what you wish for. 
The *right* is armed and dangerous and will only tolerate so much of the left's 
shenanigans.

This is exactly the mindset, the one that you voice here, that scares the 
bejeebers out of me, Mike. Add that to the fact that you claim those "on the 
right" are "armed and dangerous" isn't lessening this feeling I have. That's 
all America needs, is a bunch of Kool Aid drunk right wingers emerging from 
their villages with flaming torches, pitchforks and no teeth (thanks to 
unaffordable health and dental) and screaming for banishment of those seeking 
asylum in the US and to rid the country of "socialistic" programs. You live in 
a dreamworld, Mike. Not one thing you say here is, I believe, true but it sure 
gives me a glimpse into one mindset present day US residents have and it is

 Mike has nailed it exactly. The incredulous tail biters are slack-jawed as 
usual. 

 

 Oh you tease, Pants. You know no one is "slack-jawed" nor "incredulous". What 
a dreary world you must inhabit - having to create all this drama.
 

 Offer them some parcels on your acreage, Wolfbait. Maybe they can bail some 
alfalfa for a cup a tea. They'll also need a pair of scissors to feel safe.

 

 Unfortunately, the climate where I live does not support the growing of 
alfalfa but I do have a pair of scissors in the (you guessed it) BARN where I 
also have three pitchforks and a couple of stout rakes. We'll be fine.

Meeting with his supporters this Tuesday, the self-proclaimed socialist Bernie 
Sanders who is running for president on the Democratic Party platform, told the 
audiences that his policy of confiscating money from the richest one percent of 
Americans will allow him to fundamentally transform not just the United States

"Obama's mistake was that he started his fundamental transformation with

That's funny.  There was a visiting conductor of a music concert I went to this

(Comfortably casual). He also said (tongue-in-cheek) that he hoped the US 
didn't build a wall between itself and Canada so that future musical 
collaboration could continue.

There would be no point.  I quoted back to you the most obvious lines.  You are 
taking an extreme position that is completely fabricated by the ultra-right 
wing extremist literature you feed into your brain and anything that falls 
outside of your very narrow view is immediately rejected.  You get an 
adrenaline rush out of reiterating these crazy notions, I guess.  I looked up 
"Do Democrats want to confiscate all guns" and found those exact words 
surrounded by all kinds of extreme rhetoric.  Gun control is not about 
"confiscating all weapons at a moment's notice." Methinks you are brainwashed 
if that's what you believe.

Unfortunately it's difficult, if you are truly "irrational" to explain this to

 Not difficult at all!

It wasn't that long ago that the typical Democrat would be offended if you even 
suggested that they were socialist at heart. Now they are running a self avoid 
Socialist who is running close behind another Socialist that won't admit it.

Meeting with his supporters this Tuesday, the self-proclaimed socialist Bernie 
Sanders who is running for president on the Democratic Party platform, told the 
audiences that his policy of confiscating money from the richest one percent of 
Americans will allow him to fundamentally transform not just the United States 
but the entire world, including the Moon.

"Obama's mistake was that he started his fundamental transformation with 
America, when he should've started with the Moon," said Sanders to a thunderous 
applause. "We are not going to repeat the same mistake again."  #yiv9380546686

 Now I'm in the mood for a hot dog and I don't even eat pork. Here's one for 
you (I love this).



 
 Find a good turkey or chicken wiener then.  I don't know what you have in 
Canada but Ball Park makes a turkey wiener that is all white meat.  I avoid the 
lower priced wieners and most poultry ones don't have nitrites.  I don't eat 
beef but do eat pork and many of the brands are mixed beef and pork so I go for 
all pork brats. Thanks for the tip. Hot dogs smell great and I'll have a turkey 
dog or chicken dog but haven't for a long time. Tofu dogs aren't that great.  
 Just finished making the smoky egg dip for this afternoon's brouhaha.  It's 
basically an egg salad with smoke flavoring, Worcestershire and a little lemon 
juice added.  In fact I wanted to try cheating by getting some of Safeway's egg 
salad but they don't always have it in and then just adding the addition 
flavoring.  Also curried egg salad sandwiches are quite good.  I concur on the 
curried egg salad - yum. Have a delicious dinner and all the best to you B2. 
 My relatives love the dip so much no one has any appetite for dinner.

 The media needs to stop telling this lie about Donald Trump. I’m a Sanders 
supporter — and value honesty 
 Trump's words on Mexicans have been misconstrued by all sides. This liberal, 
Puerto Rican professor says enough 
 Alberto A. Martinez http://www.salon.com/?post_type=writer=14290300 
 

 It’s time to start cleaning up the mess of misinterpretations about Donald 
Trump.
 Back in June, I first saw Mr. Trump announcing his candidacy for president. 
What he said about unauthorized immigrants seemed ridiculous so I laughed. I 
showed the video to friends, and I laughed again. His words were poorly chosen.
 

 But something worse happened. People interpreted Trump’s words in the most 
awful and offensive ways.
 

 In one of my courses, at the University of Texas at Austin, I asked my 
students: “What has Donald Trump said that you found most offensive?” One 
student raised her hand high: “He said that all Mexicans are rapists.” I asked 
a coworker the same question. He replied: “He said that all Mexican immigrants 
are rapists.”
 

 I explained that Trump said no such thing. This is what Trump said:
 “When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our 
stupidity. […] When Mexico sends its people they’re not sending their best. 
They’re not sending you; they’re not sending you. They’re sending people that 
have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re 
bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, 
are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re 
getting.”
 

 You might well dislike Trump’s words. I did. But let’s not make it worse. He 
did not say that all Mexicans are rapists. Yet that’s what many commentators 
did. For example, Politico misquoted Trump by omitting his phrase about “good 
people.” They said he was “demonizing Mexicans as rapists.” They argued that 
Mexicans do not really commit more rapes in the U.S. than whites. But that’s 
not what Trump claimed.
 

 Similarly, other news sources misrepresented his words in offensive ways:
 The New York Times 
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/opinion/sunday/donald-trump-and-the-rise-of-the-moral-minority.html?_r=0:
