You make a lot of nonsense presumptions about 'liberals', showing you sure don't 'mix' well, but here goes:

Why do you recycle?

-DO I?

Why do you think Rush Limbaugh is a racist when some of his best friends and colleagues are African American?

I am not sure I would say that is my most prevelant complaint. I have no proof that he has any black friends. And there are the things such as this: http://newsone.blackplanet.com/elections/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/ . But, whether he is fundamentally racist? I dunno, but he sure is an intellectually dishonest polemicist.

Why do you believe in human induced global warming?

It is generally believed that human's probably contribute to global warming, not that they are wholly responsible. And this is the opinion of a great deal of scientist spanning fields and ideological spectra, including the chief engineer of Reagan's SDI in the eighties (and a one time global warming denier).

Why do you believe Barack Obama's deficit spending is somehow better than George Bush's?

One is essential, in the estimation of the preponderance of economists and the other is based in unnecessary, regressive tax cuts on one hand and a manufactured war in Iraq on the other.

Why do you rail against AIG bonuses and not against bonuses of employees of Fannie and Freddie?

Do I rail? I did not. But the AIG bonuses were notably egregious in size. Moreover, a good deal of sauch 'railing' was done by conservatives in an effort to undermine The Obama admin.

Why do you find it okay for the GM charman to step down but not the head of the UAW?

They are not parallel whatsoever. The UAW is a labor organization which does not set the agenda for product design, whereas the budgetary mismanagement and poor business decisions lie with the board and the management staff. The two roles mentioned here are not similar in responsibility at all.

I didn't say you were a racist. I said you are a bigot, and your paranoid lunacy makes that clear (although, clearly, most muslims cited as immigrating to France are North and west African, not the Balkan, so are a different 'race' by our conceptions of ethnicity).

Moreover, anecdotal cases of lunatics do not a case make. The korean population in the US is sharply up from 30 years ago, but I am not afraid I will be forced to eat Galbi every day for want of another choice.

There were not murderous lunatics before in europe? Forgetting the obvious, how about Baader-Meinhof? Your asserion of a Europe Overrun is utter lunacy or the highest order and the spouter a lunatic.

Mind you, I do not by Conason's fairy tale as written here; France has problems aplenty and unimpressive employment figures. BUT...

Slim Slim Slim... to do realize your fantasy of europe being overrun by breeding muslims is EXACTLY the same as old racist and anti-miscegenist propaganda about blacks in the south overruning 'decent' society? You are a paranoid bigot. This reminds me of an article : http://fairuse.100webcustomers.com/fairenough/tnr00.html .

"Khat is controversial but legal and wildly popular in Yemen, and chews are often the scene of lively and wide-ranging discussions."

For one, I think many people already know what khat is. But author makes it seem quaint and curious, when chomping on khat is essentially like sitting around for a smoke. It is only controversial because, under Islam, any psychoactive substance is generally verbotten. Consider the following:

"Dog parks are controversial but legal and wildly popular in Philadelphia, and hanging out in dog parks is often the scene of lively and wide-ranging discussions... about supermarkets."

"and the race of the cop who was harassing him and his son outside the stadium. (I'd be willing to bet $20 that again, the answer is...white.)"

well, that is utter speculation, although I assumed the same you did. On the other hand, in personal anecdotes, I have only had a cop pull his gun out once regarding me (he did not point it thankfully) but just waved it at the pavement while being menacing. Given that you brought it up, you may have guessed already that he was african american.

Indeed in 2 incidents in the past three years, in Philadelphia, involving police brutality (or alleged Police brutality to some), non-white police have been involved. Without getting into various sociological and existential debates 'explaining' why (and possibly bringing NWA, of years gone-by, into this) it is clear, in corruption trials and such incidents, that minority officers are just a susceptible to this mentality.

Indeed, why do not people injecting class and race into this particular incident not don't also address the poor pay police officers receive. This pay scale ensures these law enforcement jobs are not appealing to individuals with a broad spectrum of educational and work backgrounds (nor does it pay for the work dangers).

More recent posts seem to illuminate that the 'super-pro-polce' side (leaving aside ideological labels) does NOT, in fact, sublimate their rhetoric into creepy nationalist 'dignity' but also plenty of 'it's the blacks'-style rhetoric. Oof... what am I doing reading this... we all knew this would bring out the crazies.
