So-called "'Scientists' tend to find what they want."

You must live in a cave and wear leaves for clothing if what you see is all those "scientists" just finding what they want.

I guess it's a good thing that all of those scientists wanted to find the internet, otherwise you wouldn't be able to spread your crackpot screeds around, would you?

Calm down, you sound like a mental patient. If you think our military precence in Afghanistan is changing the plight of Afghan women then your ignorance of the situation means that you are, in fact, a "heartless women-hating fucking bastard". Right?

Go get educated. Listen to RAWA and others. And take anti-psychotics, lots of anti-psychotics.

Why act quickly? Because the vampires need more blood.

Lots of people on this side of the pond think banks shouldn't be big enough to blackmail governments. You could even say most, which the poll cited hints at.

The problem is people on this side of the pond will do nothing about it as the blackmailing happens right in front of them.

..and you will be able to see how far the "winning coalition" has gotten the Democrats.

And for those who haven't been paying attention the list of accomplishments is pretty small and more than a little half-assed.

I don't know, Dems are outright pros at ignoring anti-elite anger from their own party, why would they start paying attention to those loopy teabaggers?

But three parties: one conservative, one liberal, and one "moderate" (though I rarely encounter moderate views from self-described moderates) is a pretty good idea and would probably lead to more adequate representation of differing points of view in Congress.

...and believe that selling out all of your principles is a virtue. Simultaneously, having a handful of issues that are too important to compromise on makes you unfit for the human race.

If that is what's left of the Democrats than they are a party that deserves to sink.

In the spirit the he who is unbelivable -- Bastard, you are an inglorious fucking a-hole who should get off your "centrist" high horse and shut your fucking mouth.

More troops? In Afghanistan? No, you are kidding. We are sending more troops to Afghanistan. Gee, everyone was really left hanging on that one. Seventeen dimensional chess left us all guessing. "Which way is the wind gonna blow", and all that.

Obama already has a patsy. He has you lock, stock, and barrel and doesn't need any more cheerleaders.

If and/or when the US is let in ruins and others are left to pick through the remains let's hope that you and that halfwit nonsense you are frothing on about are the first worthless bits of garbage to go.

Thank you and good night.

Obama the one-term wonder will surely be remembered for his eloquence, but certainly not for his courage. And those congressional Democrats that cannot pass anything without getting permission from their coprorate lobbyist bosses will certainly be tossed in the dustbin of history. Their brief tenure with a super majority hobbled with their inability to get decent legislation though the house and senate is as forgettable as the Democratic congress is unremarkable.

I'd say let them. If the Dems could keep up half as much on the news cycle then the conservatives would not be able to move on this issue, not even budge. It's all right there, military coup and all. Absolutely nobody would think they had a good point. That is, nobody would think they had a good point unless Dems allowed the conservatives to dominate the news cycle and spin it away, like the Dems always seem to do.

Look, there is no better way to neuter the conservative noise machine than to simply pick up the scalpel and do it. Come on saintzak, don't fear the reaper.

Yawn? Is that the best you got? Good lord you sound like a Democrat.

No, I think you are missing the point. This needs to be spread wildly, as far and as wide as it can go. This makes all Republicans look bad, and that is why it was yanked off that conservative news site. I'd like to see this on the front page of the New York Times! CNN, MSNBC, I wish the MSM would jump all over this.

Any coup plots shouldn't be broken up because it will make conservtives mad?

Dems need to learn how to fight back. I rest my case.

In a lot of ways. The rhetoric and tactics you take to the fight do not define your position.

The point is that the GOP has been getting wilder and wilder with their rhetoric, and not just since Obama took office. And it seems that the wilder the GOP gets, the milder the Dems get. Too many ivory tower Dems think that if they stay silent they will win the battle. It's as if they think they can put out a house fire with a blanket.

The problem is the inflamatory GOP rhetoric works. It does lower support for Democrats and their policies. Sticking your nose in the air and saying "we are sooooo much better than them" may feel good but it won't turn around a sliding agenda. The Dems need to learn how to fight, and to fight like they mean it.

The only way to fight fire is with fire. The GOP has been playing dirty for ever now, and it is time to make it cost them in the same way.

Isn't that just another way to say you're poor because God has already decided to send you to hell?

As I read this bool review I can't help but keep getting distracted by the author's name.

Lord Skidelsky?
