@ondelette

Oh, I'm sorry, Ron Paul doesn't believe in taxes for public schools, does he?

Just like the Dems don't believe in stopping the funding for Bush's wars, and just like the Dems don't believe that Bush should be held back from spying on us all or being held back by FISA.

Since you support the Dems, you must feel the same way. This is fun but do you really want to play this game? Half the fun of GG's blog is watching him eviscerate the Establishment and watching the True Believers squirm while they play apologist.

"Exactly what do two of the biggest butchers of all times have to do with education?"

What does Ron Paul have to do with me?

Thursday, February 28, 2008 01:33 PM

short answer: he doesn't

Why does God need your second guessing and assistanced?

People with power like to pretend they are God. God supposedly didn't need the UN's help to create Israel, but that didn't stop us.

Aren't we all thick?

Otherwise, wouldn't we be somewhere else? This place isn't exactly a Kumbaya of like-minded individuals on the same page, and that's what makes it interesting.

And I own Property, don't have kids, and pay property taxes, some of which go to the public high school at the end of my street

And I don't protest it, care, or consider it an issues. I wish the money would stay there and not go to the Leviathan's Future Failures Fund. Maybe I'll pull an Ed Brown? My cats are just waiting for the order.

Sorry Champ

Ron Paul is just the sound of the bell starting the next round.

Then the fight is over. Paul's job is done, now empire/establishment apologists such as yourself have an eternity to deal with the people he woke up, at least the ones who weren't scared off by crypto-bigots, again, such as yourself.

I still am

I've been a Paul supporter for years, but that doesn't mean I am like LWM and go with Ron Paul's version of the DNC's Blue Plate Special on every issue under the sun. But when you've been in the practice of pigeon holing people your whole life so you can apply a label that can be used to divide, it might be tough to grasp the idea of not assimilating and joining one of the two accepted species of political borg.

But speaking about loving someone who is down and out. How is your the Hilldog, doing? Not do good? Didn't think so.

LWM has the prettiest Shiny Objects

I love when you post links to irrelevant nonsense. It's quite distracting.

But tell me something... Iraq under War Goddess Hillary Clinton... Will it be a Million years war? or a Billion years war?

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:03 PM

I do

I do not know how this got on public education

I'm a troll.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:05 PM

Why is everyone pretending like this is some sort of mystery?

a question I’d like Timmy dumbass Russert to answer when he gets a chance.

No can do. It's taboo (Hint: it involves the "I" word).

@Ondalette re: New Drug War

Don't worry. Tom Daschle is going to save the day with his gift to Big Pharma. It's called the Federal Health Board Swindle, i.e. "A Federal Reserve Board for Healthcare decisions".

Now instead of bailing out Bank of America with $739 Billion whet it takes risks and gets caught, we can bail out pfizer when it develops "subprime drugs" for massive profits, and oops, took a risk that "accidently" killed a bunch of poeple who took them.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:13 PM

Come on, LWM, you don't have to play hard to get.

We know you are a troll and not a particularly endearing one most of the time

lies. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:15 PM

And don't say "we think" the groupthink makes you sound pretentious

Use the royal I instead. Thanks. If you need an example to see how this is done, just look to McCain.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:21 PM

I was using the royal I

What I was trying to say (meaning what we are all trying to say) is that we are all trolls here. Or something.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:25 PM

@LWM, I'm supposed to take you seriously?

My bad. I thought that GG, the blog owner, was the only person that "seriousness" applied to around here. Sorry about that. I'll take you seriously from now own when you are playing apologist for the war party or whatever other establishment pillar or flawed policy you chose to defend on any given day.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:27 PM

@Ondalette

I don't know how it works, but you can be rest assured that Daschle's Federal Health Board will be there to help bail them all out when the time comes.

Are you talking about the border fence that is fabricated in Mexico?

Where they install hinged doors in the middle of the wall segments before shipping them back to Texas for installation, allowing immigrants to merely open the door and walk in?

lol, the "wall" is more like a patchwork quilt. We send a new design to Meixico, they fabricate the wall while simultaneously learning and installing whatever they need to compromise it before sending it back to the US to be installed, then we change the plans once we figure out what they are doing. Rinse and repeat. There is a reason why the newest design is nothing but long ass metal poles pounded into the ground four inches apart to form the 18 foot high "wall", which look more like thick prison bars.

The joke that Carlos Menstealia stole about "who would build the wall if we deported the illegals?" already has an answer, because it is a reality. We would outsource the construction to Mexico, like we already do.

"which brown skinned nation has the EU invaded lately?"

Serbia? Have you taken a peep at the new flag of Kosovo?

Thursday, February 28, 2008 02:42 PM

"what happens to liars and hypocrites."

They become POTUS?

Original article: No Hail Mary for Hillary

Chances are that the Clinton Surge in TX

Is about as real as the Surge in Iraq.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 03:06 PM

The US flag?

Sure, except without the red (why would anyone be against the color red in the new flag I wonder? hmmmmm....) and white stripes, and the inclusion of the map, and that the stars are not in the corner. The Flag of Kosovo is exactly how I imagine the American flag would look if politically correct to the extreme, paranoid Communitarians from outside the US designed it.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 03:13 PM

JUST LIKE the Stars and Stripes

Quick comparison...

The Flag of Kosovo:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Kosovo.svg

Which of the following does the Flag of Kosovo resemble more?

The EU flag (Blue/Yellow):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Europe.svg

Or the US Flag (Red/White/Blue):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg

I know it is a tough call, but really look close... really...
