Sorry if it seemed like I was implying that it wasn't, that was just something I wanted to say. It wasn't a response to your post.

A big part of a man's sexiness is how far left his politics are.

Mao Zedong was 11 out of 10.

Not necessarily so, but an economist should be able to suss out obvious false equivalencies like that, which leads me to believe he's somewhat willfully ignorant, as many libertarians seem to be. It's the only explanation I can think of for why so many people who are so obviously intelligent could support so many ideas that are either completely wrong or are only right in such specific contexts they might as well be wrong.

Gee, this sounds familiar.

Gah, Naney's really bringing his a-game on this one. Infuriating as it is, it's interesting to read. Thanks. (?)

Also I love how the point of the article is "if you wish to go beyond what they call 'common sense' then you just want old people to die."

Avia means grandmother.

senicide is the word for the killing and encouraging of suicide of elderly persons, which is what you meant, no?

I didn't realize that was an actual thing; I was under the impression that I was making it up.

the mind has to boggle at the sheer level of cognitive dissonance required to believe in the platform of the post-Southern Strategy Republican Party while simultaneously being one of its clearest victims

For American society, a dangerous polarization has set in. Signs of this polarization over the years include opposite reactions between blacks and whites to verdicts in the O.J. Simpson murder case, the "rape" charges against Duke University students, and trials resulting from the beating of Rodney King and the death of Trayvon Martin.

More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches and in other public places all across the country today.

While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black on white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel.

Even when these attacks are accompanied by shouts of anti-white rhetoric and exultant laughter at the carnage, the racial makeup of the attackers and their victims is usually ignored by the media, and public officials often deny that race has anything to do with what happened.
