bleeding heart

No, your problems with me are more personal, kraychik: I exposed you (with your own help) as a dishonest fraud on another topic. Everyone makes mistakes...but you have chosen to cling to the (proven) lie, rather than man up. Which makes it ongoing. And sad, of course. If it's any consolation, I didn't know you were an historical revisionist and an abject liar until you demonstrated it. The discovery was, as they say, thoroughly accidental.

Everything that can in any way be associated with any form of what anyone calls "the left" is, by definiton and necessity, composed of nefarious intent, coupled with a good dollop of ignorance. This is a law of nature and a religious belief, so it's a pretty solid rule.

Yeah, this isn't a promiscuous overstatement at all. And Christ on a cracker, you're a prickly little pear! Ok, l until I decide to correct your Rerublican propaganda talking points here (and I assure you i plan to do so, unless I determine that you're correct, a faint possibility), let's see you try the next one: Romney's explicit lies about contraception and the Blunt amendment. i'll give you a few minutes to go check with the proper reactionary soruces from which you glean all your "knowledge." I know you make no steps without them. And then get back to me.

And tomorrow it will be aliens...and the day after that, you will no doubt rejoin our little coterie of posters who think "The Left! The Left!" is sober poltiical discourse, and best explains the troubles beseiging humanity.

Personally, i love the show, but I do get why some people have trouble getting enthused. Yes, I agree, it was moving into tedious territory. Luckly it picked up, and i hope that continues.

If Romney's point was (or was going to be) the profound contradictions emanating from the Government about terrorist attacks, then doubtless he'd be correct. Of course, while a matter of such significance should have some import, it really doesn't, not for an election campaign. They've all been blathering lies and nonsense about terrorism since Sept 11, 2001 (probably well before, but leave that aside from now). Listening to Official Pronouncements about terrorism, and taking them seriously, is akin to being a child with sub-standard intelligence. I don't fault Romney for giving it a try, mind you, even if it's in the campaign bloodsport and so is divorced from principle or a demand for the truth.

This coming from a man who wishes for portraits of our Dear Leader to be displayed in every home, and for people to express explicit idolatry.

Anyone else notice that the better the Conservatives have done politically, the more power and influence and successes they've had...the more their adherents cry victimhood? An interesting phenomenon.

We can have another thread about broken campaign promises, if you like. What about the debate lies...the topic of this thread?

And some of them are whoppers. For example, The Blunt amendment/contraceptive matter....Romney's telling an outrageous falsehood about this. And then there's Romney's continual "job loss" insistence: And so on...... http://www.thenation...est-debate-lies#

No...as per our discussion, the rub is whether a single issues voter is better than not voting. The jury's out on that question, and will forever remain so.

I dunno....the Communist versus the Fascist? Might be worth watching.

Mr. Canada, of late, has been on the sort of trip that poster "socialist" has been enjoying: saying outrageous things to try to provoke people into inane debates.

You've got the formulation wrong. There are the "I couldn't care less" folks, and the more interested folks (by definition everyone discussing this matter, including those who disagree with Argus)...and both of them are the vitual opposites of the cute little 'fraidy cats.

Well, you'll have to work out this formulation with poster bcsapper. Oddly, I have my doubts that he'll indulge you on this.

Why are you reverting to the old style you had (I thought) abandoned? Well, if you wish to argue for fascist tyranny, that's your right. But I suspect that smallc's retort is probably the correct one.

He was very good, as usual. (And the family couldn't have framed a nicer guy. )

Yes, calling it an "act of terror" is so profoundly different from calling it an "act of terrorism." Who do these clowns think they're fooling?

Yes, hopefully Romney will revisit his contention that Obama didn't call it an act of terrorism. And then we discuss the "liberal bias" of recorded fact.

Romney said that Obama, in his Rose Garden remarks, refused to call it a terrorist act. But Obama did call it a terrorist act. Either Romney is unaware of what actually transpired, but castigated the President for it anyway...or he was lying outright. Those are the only two choices, since the demonstrable truth is available for anyone who wants to watch the recorded remarks.

Beheading Canadians is entirely illegal in this country, and that sort of behaviour will land a person in prison. Leaving aside Beck, a conspiracy theorist who takes to weeping, when not screaming at the top of his lungs at callers who dare disagree with him...Steyn is extremely careless with facts, notably on his Demographics Nightmare Scenario...when he's not outright wrong (Iraq will be a tourist trap by 2004 ) or just generally a disgusting degenerate (an Iraqi detainee with a banana jammed up his behind was so frikkin' hilarious that Steyn brought it up twice, to my knowledge, guffawing like an English schoolboy sexually tormenting a weaker fellow.)

Well, that's just it. At bottom, many of these discussions become about who is and isn't terrified...and that those of us who aren't peeing our pants are the ones who are remiss! I suppose, if one wishes to take the Mark Steyns and Glenn Becks of the world seriously (and they're almost exactly the same, only that Mark Steyn has a bigger vocabulary)...well, that's his or her business. (Usually his, but that's another topic.) Just don't expect the rest of us to snivel frightened in the corner, too. I've got other stuff to do.

Yes, we are all quite sick and tired of the way that the NDP's tax policies are harming us.

Yeah, "obviously." Your faith in Father is touching. At least now you're spared the irritant of democratic principles; we have finally elected a leader who is "obviously" going to do what's best...so the democratic duty is--finally!--finished for good.

Nice.
