I can't call anyone who has abused civil liberties in the ways he has "great."

I didn't say he would honor the contract.

Oh come on, what are a few dozen murders between people with similar moral compasses?

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.
 

I'm not inclined to use the word "great" myself, but would note that Roosevelt was the President when Japanese-Americans were put in concentration camps during WWII. Of all of the Presidents of the Twentieth Century, I would say that he is at the top of the list, and yet that is a serious stain on his record.

You have a point.

Speaking of stains, Argo was excellent.

Take Slate's Electoral College challenge.

Me, I got 360. Surely someone can top that....

405 - not by much.

No, he conned the Kochs. They just think that's his soul. Really, it's his mother's.

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.
 

450, but I did it yesterday and there was some overlap. I think I was in the 360 range yesterday.

I'm pretty sure he sold mom's to get promoted at Bain Capital.

Team Rape adds to its bench.

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.
 

How many rape originated pregnancies happen each year? After a rape there has to be treatment that minimizes the possibility, right? I think the R's should sign on for a rape exception to their otherwise complete ban. It would help them get to their main goal, and baby Jesus won't have to cry too often.

First estimate I came across says 83,000.

Other Googles suggest that the WSJ says it's "tough to count." Meanwhile www.christianliferesources.com says it's, well, about 200. So YMMV.

Because it hasn't the balls to actually do anything. It can't unionize enough to effect pain on industry. It can't demand more in terms of government assistance, or redistribution, because we could tax the 1% at 100% of income and not pay for six months of what's been promised to the 99%.

It doesn't have any bullets in the gun. Globalization, and its own delusional decision to accept the promises of politicians it knew or should have known could never be kept, fucked it.

The Left is as bad as the right. The only difference is the number of greedy of fucks trying to maximize their take. On the Right, it's a few for X times 100 to 1000. On the Left, it's an innumerable mass of demanders, asking for X times 10 to 50.

The truth is, the Left is miles more expensive than the Right could ever hope to be. It isn't the welfare. It isn't the food stamps. It isn't the programs. It's the endless litany of regulations/rules/rights/entitlements that make every American worker a few cents more expensive for govt and industry every day. And consequently, less competitive with foreign labor.

...Except, of course, Europe's.
