Why is anyone still arguing with this idiot???

You know who I'm talking about.

Just ignore him to death.

I know some of you feel this place won't be as much fun without his lunatic ravings but by continuing to entertain his warped ego you are not only validating his "logic" (even as you argue against it), but you diminish yourself in the process.

When arguing with fools, don't answer their foolish arguments, or you will become as foolish as they are. Proverbs 26

The divisiveness in this country is no longer laughable (except maybe in China). It is a very real threat to our ability to function as a democracy. The "no amount of reason or logic" types must be dealt with, and seeing as we have freedom of speech and he can spout all the bat-shit crazy nonsense he wants to, the best thing we can do is ignore it.

As for the bigger picture outside this blog, boycott the advertisers on whatever news corp. you consider to be the propaganda arm of the "opposition". Write a letter to your congressman. Vote. If you don't like abortion, don't have one. If you're against gay marriage, don't get gay married. If you don't believe in science, throw away your phone, car, medicine etc. Most importantly, engage in reasonable discussion and avoid rants and diatribes that leave no room for disagreement.

Because if you don't, you're an idiot!

Here's why. Because we have a huge amount of these idiots in this country going around spouting lies. We also have lots of uninformed people who hear these lies and start to believe they may be true. For years liberals have let the right wing conservatives define the conversation and only tepidly respond to their propaganda. The result is that people vote for these Teapublicans despite their disastrous policies. It has brought this country to the brink of disaster. Case A: George Dubya Bush. Case B: 2010 elections. I may not change a committed right-wingers' mind, but maybe someone will read my arguments and have second thoughts about the Teapublican BS. How can the truth win out against a lie if nobody ever hears the truth? Besides I get bored and I like to debate, argue and mock:)

Not a big fan of folk music, but that's a great song.

What California needs are more illegal immigrants and government services.

Highest unemployment rates December 2011
El Centro, Calif. 26.8
Yuma, Ariz. 23.1
Merced, Calif. 18.7
Yuba City, Calif. 18.1
Visalia-Porterville, Calif. 16.2
Fresno, Calif. 16.2
Modesto, Calif. 16.1
Stockton, Calif. 15.9
Hanford-Corcoran, Calif. 15.3
Ocean City, N.J. 15.1

That will stimulate their economy.

How about a drinking game? Every time he posts "George Soros" you have to drink. And each time he doesn't post a link to what he copy/pasted... another drink! We'll be blotto in no time.

BLOW CHUNKS BITCH!!!

Congressman Jim Moran is an old white Democrat from Virginia who thinks he can judge whether we minority conservatives are acting sufficiently non-white enough. Moran's an inveterate bully, a brawler, a crook and a bigot. And not one of his civility-preaching liberal colleagues has the courage to call him out.

Responding on cable news to GOP Rep. Allen West's blunt criticisms of President Obama this week, Moran derided the retired U.S. Army colonel, who is black, as "not representative of the African-American community." Moran then launched into the kind of tired race-traitor tirade I've heard from progressives of pallor for more than 20 years.

How dare we "people of color" stray from the left's ideological plantation? If we choose personal responsibility over entitlement, capitalism over statism or self-determination over identity politics, presumptuous white liberals appoint themselves spokespeople for our forefathers and deciders of our true destinies.

To wit: Lt. Col. West "just seems clueless now that he has climbed aboard ship," Moran fumed. "He's climbed this ladder of opportunity that was constructed by so many of his ancestors' sweat, sacrifice, blood, you know, they did everything they could for his generation to be successful. But now that he's climbed on board ship, instead of reaching down and steadying the ladder, he wants to push it off."

West, his father, his mother and his brother all dedicated their lives to military service; four consecutive generations of his family served in the U.S. armed forces. As a freshman congressman, West's message has been a compelling agenda of self-empowerment. For this, he is savaged by a House colleague as a racial saboteur?

But Moran was just warming up. Next, he contrasted conservative West with big-government savior Barack Obama, who he said acted in proper accordance with his ancestors "by reducing college tuition and training our workers, trying to get a decent job for everybody" and leaving a "constructive legacy."

Er, how's the savior's near double-digit unemployment, record food stamp enrollment, re-inflation of the housing and higher-education bubbles, and massive redistribution of wealth from the working class to the Wall Street bundler class working out for you?

Moran hailed Obama as "our Lion King" and compared his Republican detractors to the "hyenas in the background trying to cause trouble" for the White House. This bumbling chief of political correctness apparently is unaware that those hyenas in the Disney movie have been criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes about blacks and Hispanics. Dog-whistle politics, anyone?

Do Moran's constituents in Virginia's 8th district support his incessant race-baiting? Last year, he accused Tea Party activists of racism for sweeping out entrenched Democrats in the November 2010 midterm elections. It "happened for the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States. It happened because the Southern states, the slaveholding states, didn't want to see a president who was opposed to slavery," he ranted to Arabic-language television network Alhurra. "(A) lot of people in the United States don't want to be governed by an African-American, particularly one who is liberal, who wants to spend money and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society."

Yet, only two short years before, this hopelessly racist nation put Obama in the Oval Office with a landslide victory. Logic never was the demagogue's strong suit.

The aptly named Moran, an 11-term incumbent, continues to be rewarded by voters for his extravagant spending habits, self-dealing and diarrhea of the mouth. As I've reported previously:

-- While on the Alexandria (Va.) City Council, he was charged with casting a vote that helped a developer friend win a bid for a lucrative plot of public land. A special prosecutor concluded that Moran had violated the state's conflict-of-interest law. He sobbed as he pleaded no contest to a felony charge of vote-peddling. He received a year's probation for a reduced conflict-of-interest misdemeanor charge and was forced to resign.

-- In 1995, he had to be subdued by Capitol Hill police when he threw a punch at California Republican Rep. Randy Cunningham on the House floor. After the incident, Moran blamed "talk radio" for creating a hostile environment in Washington. That same year, he screamed "I'll break your nose" at Indiana Republican Rep. Dan Burton during a hearing.

-- In 2002, Moran revealed in financial disclosure statements that he accepted a $50,000 loan in January 2001 from an "old friend," billionaire America Online co-founder James Kimsey. The congressman claims to have paid the business mogul back at 15 percent interest over three months, and his spokesman emphasized the loan came with no accompanying quid pro quo.

-- Kimsey's gift came on the heels of Moran's disclosure that he had received another Big Business-tied loan: $25,000 from "old friend" Terry Lierman, a drug industry lobbyist representing Schering-Plough. After getting that unsecured loan at a lower-than-market interest rate, Moran co-sponsored a bill that would extend the patent on Schering-Plough's allergy medicine Claritin -- and prevent generic drug manufacturers from offering inexpensive alternatives.

Liberal busybodies are an annoyance. Liberal race-card abusers who lambaste patriotic minority conservatives to cover their own dirty deeds make my brown skin crawl.

If he copy/pastes from michelemalkin and several other forums in the same post without links, you and your drinking buddies must pour all your drinks into one pitcher, shake, and drink together with crazy straws.
