But – to answer your rant:

I think that we can agree that the level and nature of government involvement in- and control over the actions of the private sector is now greater than it has been in the past. Not even the previous Chrysler bail-out involved the level of interference.

That being the case, I think it can be safely said that I’m arguing in favor of the status quo, not against it. Simple logic bereft of Liberal “newspeak.”

So, Phil, I believe that you – much like another Obama supporter – have been hoist on your own petard.

And considering the fact that we live in a world where both republicans and democrats support the govt having some say in the free market, the burden of proof is even greater on you to argue why the status quo is wrong.

This is basic argumentation and reasoning 101. Haven’t you ever take a logic class?

Your entire argument is based on an underlying premise of the appropriateness of government intervention into the private sector that is for more invasive than is supported by the values of America.

Your facts aren’t what is wrong. What is wrong is the values you hold, apply to those facts, and the conclusions you draw from them.

It’s expected though,
Blessed (Belated) Oestara.

Of course, the ironic part is that you’ll probably try to wave this all away by saying you “refuse to engage in my liberal propaganda” or some other snide dismissive remark that basically means “I got nothing”

Its cool though.
Happy Easter.

Why you choose to exercise them here I don’t know though. It’s not like this blog is one that normally qualifies for professional attentions from the enemies of America.

I suppose I should be flattered, but I’m guessing this is more of a masturbatory hobby on your part.

Don’t bother letting Phil anger you with his anti-Americanism. He gets off on that sort of thing. Since he was – probably still is, but I don’t have proof – a professional Liberal political operative whose job it is to marginalize and hopefully silence real Americans it behooves us to not let him and his ilk win in even the slightest matter.

Remember, he’s trained to identify, marginalize, and anger his enemies and the enemies of his cabal. Phil is well-schooled in such things and in presenting falsehoods and semi-truths in a manner meant to both deceive and to goad otherwise reasonable people into words and/or actions that allow them to be discounted by the majority.

Actually, I’ve worked for more Republicans than democrats. Pretty conservative one’s too. Guess they taught me too well.

By the way, last time I checked you’re not the arbiter that determines what “is” and “is not” American. I can’t think of anything stupider than calling someone “anti-American” because they disagree with your political views.

Besides, last time I checked the makeup of Congress, the majority of Americans align closer to my political views than yours buddy.
