> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > Her comments were fairly stupid IMHO because it’s best to avoid comparing any aspect of anything to the Holocaust (lest idiots like many of those who have already posted to this thread get their panties in a twist). > > But the actual point she was making has some merit IMHO. All she was saying is that we are at a time in history when people may later look back and ask “why didn’t you do anything to stop it?” I agree. “Daddy, why did they cut taxes on the rich when we were in the middle of two wars? Didn’t they realize it was a delayed tax on people my age? Weren’t taxes already low by historic standards? Didn’t you perhaps think that it would be better to continue to pay down the debt like you did under Clinton? Really, WTF? Were you morons?” ---

Welcome to Rover land, where up is down, water is dry and tax cuts lead to more government income. Facts are meaningless in the face of the relentless Rovertude. ---

It seems like many of your posts include your opinion of such-and-such person being an idiot, stupid, or a liberal douche. Even other posters’ kids are fair game for you now, apparently.

If you like Michele Bachmann, please come and get her. Many of us in MN would be happy to see the last of her. Even my GOP brother who lives in her district won’t vote for her. I do not understand what mindlessness put her into office. ---

You brought here only your humble opinions so far, so I wonder what facts are you talking here that Bachmann is referring… but in your case the reality remains that even conservatives in the SDMB tell you that you are full of hot air when dealing with science facts. I do have the experience to say that with historical facts you are also full of hot air. ---

I for one am so glad to see she’s still letting the crazy stuff out. I was afraid she’d keep it under wraps during her ::ahem:: “campaign”. And then where would the over-the-top mockery be? ---
