what you’re describing is the tyranny of the individual.

Tyranny, huh? When a transaction takes place without coercion who exactly is abusing their power? And what exactly is the power in question?

What we are describing is nature sans coercion. Why stop that?

Guess both parties learned presuming a Permanent Majority is a sure way to scuttle.

libertarianism is an elitist hobby. it has to stop.

I don’t understand. What we are describing is nature sans coercion. Why stop that?

Even Che would not be so stupid to bite Khrushchev or Brezhnev

As every entity or person should only care about their own financial interest. This altruistic canard and subsequent punitive reaction is how we get into trouble in the first place. It has to stop.

why should we care if they now worry about the democrats’ agenda?

You’re mistaken. I don’t care if they worry or not.

they represent their own interests, not ours – just ask miss main street.

Lets see.
Govt requires private companies to perform certain acts.
Certain acts cause economic catastrophe.
Obviously, it was the private companies fault.
So goes the logic of a liberal.

Game, set and match.

Amazing how the smartest people on the planet are always flummoxed by basic logic.

It certainly makes a case that the derivatives market is a bad investment on the whole. Like all investment, it’s still a crapshoot. And it still takes two consenting parties to do business.

if wall street wasn’t worried about the epic fail of the $500 trillion derivatives market, why should we care if they now worry about the democrats’ agenda? they represent their own interests, not ours – just ask miss main street.

What do you think of the idea burying some recycled cans and other scrap metal as false targets in case some people come looking for that stuff?

I’m counting on the claymores and dogs to take of that ;-)

LOL, That would work a lot better.

when wall street stops donating, the democrats must do something right.

So you finally admit that what they were doing was wrong.

wall street destroyed your prosperity.

You really do believe this crap, don’t you?

by deploying weapons of mass wealth destruction.

I have to say , Ed. You’re missing the bigger picture here. They’ve thought this trough.

BHO has opened the southern border to let in illegal aliens in order to give them federal money. Then, the DNC will approach those illegals and ask for campaign donations. they won’t know to what they’re donating… just like the Chinese dish washers who donated to the Hillary campaign.

Connect the dots, Ed.

I wouldn’t blame Ed for missing this, but they would have to teach the Mexicans to make $10 donations under the name of Miguel Raton (Mickey Mouse in Spanish) of Disneyland, California to a website that doesn’t screen out false addresses.

This is not necessarily an outright disagreement but more of a challenge. An intellectual exercise, if you will. How?

Union members watch out for your dues to sky rocket!

Nancy Pelosi is mentally challenged.

Harry Reid will be retiring soon. 2010 to be exact.

Barry Obama is a lame duck after 9 months.

Oh those dems are just soooo patriotic and so capable of governing! Don’t you think?
