As the points I’m making do not require that, yes, you are just using a straw man, you are still attempting to deny that you originally said that liberals can not do wealth creation. Attempting to say that the liberals I mentioned do not count because they were capitalists, is moving the goal posts and then you are still setting the straw man that we liberals are saying that no capitalist can be a liberal, no one has said that here but you.

As history shows, there were even conservatives that realized the old deal was going to lead to revolution, and then no one would know what to expect, history also shows that you never know what leaders one would get after the shooting stopped. And so we got the New Deal, an idea to prevent communism and fascism from setting shop in America. ---

Don’t you think he had some pretty good ideas about equality? (Lenin, that is) ---

So.. FDR was the american version of that Von Oldgermandeaddude that was mentioned earlier. Interesting… I’m learning here! ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > The Wisconsin Democrats are still holed up in Illinois today. The Wisconsin Legislature can’t vote on its odious little union busting bill without them. Governor Wanker has impotently ordered the state police to arrest the AWOL Dems and bring them by force, but obviously the Wisconsin cops can’t go to Illinois to get them. So there they sit, all itching and eager to start destroying the lives of the working class and dismantling their education system, but they can’t do a damn thing unless the Democrats come back and sit their obediently while they do it. Kudos to the Wisconsin Dems. Wait these motherfuckers out as long as it takes. Show them what a “party of no” really fucking means. Screw those Dems, they are the scum of the earth. The Republicans should vote to change the quorum % to one less and then pass the bill without the Dems. ---

They would need a quorum to change the rules on the quorum. Other than that, brilliant! ---

> [@](#): > > …I thought that they just needed a simple majority for matters not involving the budget . Actually, I am not entirely sure. As a general rule, though, rule changes require a higher order of consent than a simple majority. Your post speculating about the origins of the recent plague that has befallen us is somewhat interesting, I went there and poked it with a stick. Mostly harmless. But I do recognize several of the names, however, that does not explain how they got to be sicced on us. I note with approval that at least one of them has a kicking rack of ginormous jigglys. Our own message board does not support the display of physical attributes. More’s the pity, perhaps. And “zero moderation”? Well, there’s a problem, no? Without the Luminous Ones, who sit at the right hand of The Cecil, our level of pristine intelligence and civility would not be possible. (Grovel, grovel, kissy, kissy…) ---
