news…

that’s the thing. If it’s so important why don’t they cut something? You are trying to tell me there’s NOTHING in our 3 TRILLION dollar budget we can do without?

as far as medicare and ss,again that’s not “the government”. that’s our money. and the lions share of our taxes goes to wars and beaurocratic bullshit, not that stuff.

Kinda partial to Warren Buffet, though. Or Gene Sperling & Peter Orszag.

I’ve been to England since the Iron Lady had her way. I happen to like Medicare and Social Security. And I believe labor laws are necessary. There is no coincidence that mining deaths have gone up since mining regulations have gone down. I strongly believe that regulatory agencies are necessary. I have no yearning to return to the Gilded Age. I happen to like the idea of a middle class. If you, like Grover Norquist believe that any social gains since Teddy Roosevelt are socialist, then call me a socialist.
I’ve addressed my own political views
on this thread more than I have since I’ve been coming to NQ.
And yes, I come here for issues of security and I appreciate the heck out of LJ. And my fellow NQ’ers. And it’s definitely one of my favorite sites. And I don’t believe Lester is a bad egg because we may disagree and despite what you may think - I think it’s good that he feels enthusiastic about his candidate of choice. I felt the same way about Wes Clark when he was in the mix. And I don’t think I was hard on Lester, nor do I consider myself more enlightened than him as the ‘possessor of the truth’…

“all some politician has to say is “It’s for the children” & youall want to pay more”

that’s the thing. If it’s so important why don’t they cut something? You are trying to tell me there’s NOTHING in our 3 TRILLION dollar budget we can do without? besides, government will probably just ladle big helpings of behaviour modifying pills down their throats. to make them “healthy”.

Let us hope karma rewards you expediently. But in the meantime you would do better to read more throughly to avoid poor conclusions and rhetoric. Your lack of attention is something you appear to have in common with your beloved leader.

I am beginning to feel I jumped the gun, by ignoring the young man critical of philanthropy. It appears there are others far more deserving of ignorance. I pray this place will eventually provide you enough wisdom to consider the prospect of a universe outside your little bubble. Though considering your output over the last couple of years, you seem intent to go for the rope. Go back to the start.

I read this blog because it deals with the government misinformation in perpetuating these conflicts.

I’m not intersted in some canadian persons assesment of capitalism. I’m intersted in capitalism itself. you are just another pro government huckster like Bush, except you want welfare instead of warfare. no thanks. not interested.

There are people that I respect very much that support Ron Paul. Like Karen Kwiatkowski, a great American - who has taken more than her fair share of slings and arrows from many - including freepers and the like. There are some things I’ve read by Dr. Paul that I liked. And quite a few things that I haven’t.
As far as you regarding me being a neocon, you’re free to think what you choose. I consider myself a FDR/JFK Democrat. I also liked Ike and Jerry Ford. Nobody was more eloquent than Ford in his defense of Affirmative Action. I was opposed to NAFTA.
And on your same flawed logic - you could also call me a Nazi because Hitler loved German Shepherds and so do I.

Why don’t you simply address the issue - why hasn’t Ron Paul denounced the supremacists? Is it money? Is that where his uptick of funds came from - people who refer to David Duke as Dr. Duke?
Why is rhetoric that the UN is going to take over the US, including our armed forces - guns will be taken away from legal gun owners, Canada , Mexico and the US, like the European Union - will become one - you know the whole New World Order spiel - being spouted by him? You have enough sense to know what crowd that appeals to.
David Duke is saying register as a Republican and vote for Paul - why no comment from Paul or his camp?
And I sure didn’t need to read Medved to come to what I’ve found to be disturbing.
I assume I’ll get an answer once you get your talking points.

Respectfully,

Robert M Murray

As for me, I don’t support Hillary nor Leiberman, nor the war in Iraq. So bzzzzz, wrong again, unsurprisingly.

I’m here because I like to read Mr. Johnson.

Now why are you here, Lester? Or will you just go on avoiding the questions and the points?

Your Presidential campaign has drawn the enthusiastic support of an imposing collection of Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, Holocaust Deniers, 9/11 “Truthers” and other paranoid and discredited conspiracists.

Do you welcome- or repudiate – the support of such factions?

More specifically, your columns have been featured for several years in the American Free Press –a publication of the nation’s leading Holocaust Denier and anti-Semitic agitator, Willis Carto. His book club even recommends works that glorify the Nazi SS, and glowingly describe the “comforts and amenities” provided for inmates of Auschwitz.

Have your columns appeared in the American Free Press with your knowledge and approval?

As a Presidential candidate, will you now disassociate yourself, clearly and publicly, from the poisonous propaganda promoted in such publications?

As a guest on my syndicated radio show, you answered my questions directly and fearlessly.

Will you now answer these pressing questions, and eliminate all associations between your campaign and some of the most loathsome fringe groups in American society?

Along with my listeners (and many of your own supporters), I eagerly await your response.

Respectfully, Michael Medved

and taters, the newest neo con

how about try another line of questioning. or better yet, take 10 minutes to learn the “broken windows fallacy” of economics and see where we are coming from

taters- because he’s anti state.

And clearly you don’t know that Rand is a knock off off the very school of economics that you refer to. “Splains everything.” Yes, Lester - I am familiar with economics…I suggest you familiarize yourself with Naomi Klein, and others.

You are young, aren’t you?

And just referencing Medved, gives you away. Why are you here? Medved is one of the biggest fools on planet earth, next to Hewitt, although it is a big pond.

Why are you here Lester?
