Re: Leftist cartoonist gets his wakeup call
TB — (archived)

Okay. First, every bit of your first paragraph is crap. I could pull up the facts - again - but I've learned that doesn't really get me anywhere.

Your second paragraph is evasion. "Pretending it will work" again. There is no "tweaking" this one. There's no pretending that "taxing the rich" is going to fill a hole that was $44 trillion deep when I last saw a detailed analysis in 2003. I know what the buzzword "shared sacrifice" means, too. Europe had to almost literally burn down before they got the clue. I suppose we will too.

Your third paragraph is ridiculous. I know quite well what fascism is, what its origins were, what its philosophy is, and what the results are. You, on the other hand, make up a definition for fascism out of whole cloth. I suppose you have to do that. The real definition, involving absolute state control over the economy and almost every other aspect of our lives, doesn't really take you anywhere you want to be.

We'll see whose days are numbered. You've written 2010's election out of your worldview, or maybe just constructed a latticework of rationalizations about it, but it still happened.
