When Fascism Comes To America

Phat writes: Yes. Why do you want others to fall behind?

Phat writes: They aren't Handouts, they are Hands Up, and they are at bare subsistence levels and require jumping through all kinds of hoops to get. A blank check??? A blank check would be a huge amount, not subsistence level. You could fill it in for a million dollars each time if it was truly a blank check. Nobody gets a blank check. Whereas I KNOW you don't. Certainly. I also agree that this is bad, but it's a gross mischaracterization. Actually longer than that, if they keep the bureaucratic paperwork up.
So it's not a blank check, after all.Keeping the paperwork up is almost as hard as working in a grocery store, you know. 20 cents an hour is very bad, even correcting for inflation and supposing he grew up in the Great Depression, like my parents did. You should be thanking your God for FDR! These are not a choice of one or the other - that is a false dichotomy. You should be encouraging both, hand in hand.FDR's times made a vast improvement and set up the country with a great run (for white males at least), but then the corporatists fell into Greed and gradually, over the liberal Democrat party's objections, took back much of it away with tax loopholes and outright monopolies. They are still trying to "sunset" Social Security! They have hated what FDR accomplished when he wasn't winning WWII ever since.

Phat admits his ignorance with: Migod man, how long have you been here? December 30, 2003?A site that is mainly about Evolution versus Creationism and you joined almost 20 years ago and you still don't know???Why are you even here?

Google or bing can help:The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments.

Phat spouts: He wasn't generalizing. He was specifically calling Shapiro a racist.In fact it is YOU who are generalizing when you continue that with:

I think I need help. How am I ever going to forgive people who vote Republican, considering how foul and disgusting the GOP has been for most of my life and especially now. I want to see Rupert Murdoch mowed down by machine guns live on national TV for his criminal lying. I want all Republican politicians to come to death by some painful disease. They all deserve to die for their vicious, sadistic goals.How can I forgive myself for voting for Frank Sargent over Mike Dukakis as Massachusetts Governor, the only Republican I've ever voted for? How about voting for Eldridge Cleaver over Hubert Humphrey which may have contributed to the foul Nixon setting the country back 40 years?Forgiveness appears beyond my reach. Peace and love seem even further away than ever.......

Phat asks: if i could hold and aim it, and the live TV was on and it was okay with the TV producers, then, yeah ... sometimes I just want to do that.it's a good thing I can't, right?

Tanypteryx adds: ooo good one.i've had in mind a tow truck with each one tied up in a straight jacket, bound tightly except for their head and suspended by their feet with the cable loosened down to just where their head would hit the pavement and slowly drag them around the block over and over, keeping them alive as long as possible.didn't Saddamn Hussein have some equipment that was even nastier?

like i said at the top of this thread, can i find forgiveness??you see, Phat, this is why some of us roll our eyes at some of your "both-siderisms". and why some of us are embarrassed to have you admit that you vote Democratic, which we perceive as almost by a lucky accident.sorry if this offends, i have even given your posts a couple cheers over the years.

Taq writes: But wouldn't that deprive the rest of us a chance to form a cheering crowd lining the streets?

Phat asks: Sure I would, if and when they ever do propose something good.Nixon signed the EPA into existence. but it was a Democratic congress that wrote it up for him.12 Republicans voted with the Dems to impeach the 2nd time, but it was still short of the 2/3 needed to convict.Liz Cheney held the Constitution over party loyalty.

i wonder if Biden can unrepeal Trump's sabotaging of the brake upgrade that he made to suck the Big RR dicks. or does he have to get the Fucking Fascists to go along?

Phat writes: Now you may understand why I have no forgiveness for them. They are sadists, vicious greedy assholes who need to be gunned down before they kill any more of us.

hey jar, i hope you won't mind if i posted this to facebook, crediting you of course. it's an awesome list!! thank you thank you thank you!

Phat notes: well, you know that the right-wing propaganda has been trying to con the poorer of us that taxes always means we have to pay more instead of the rich. or instead of the corporations and their stock-buy-back shit.that their not popular speaks of the gullibility of people. tax the rich!!!starting with those who make $400,000 and up.
