Nothing personal, but there's really no point trying to have a reasonable political discussion on the interweb. Like Justin said, there's really no point bothering even with spelling, never mind sentence structure, grammar and logic. I come here mainly for my own amusement, and you have said you come here to vent.
In person, it would be a different story. I'm sure we'd still disagree, but basic human decency would keep things more civil and constructive. This is just a digital freak show.

With this I agree. I have tried to stay away from this forum, cuz I gits agitated. But, as you are, I am passionate about my position. Throw in my abnormal competitive nature and well....
Just so folks know, Volvotool and I have met, had a beer and a sammich together, I find him to be a very nice man.
I would hate to not go to a Reins meet, or have you not attend because we dont agree on politics. As a matter of fact, I refrain from these kind of discussions with friends and family, cuz I hatez conflict like that.
I have 2 very good friends that are teachers, and others that are AFSCME and SEIU members. We are vast friends, and spend much time together. Its too bad things are so fucked up that a common sense solution seems lightyears away.
By the way, the Debt Commission recommendations are OK with me. They point to austerity and some hardship, but we can handle it to get us on the right track again.
This personal attack BS we've been engaging in is nonsense. You were correct way back when when you called it insanity.
The internet has made us less civil, and that is a bad thing for society. Shits fuccked up enough without people tearing each other apart, especially when we really have the same goals and needs.
Pardon my spelling and grammar. I'm not the best keyboard jockey, and I sometimes use the slang. Blame it on my 2 sons and their texting.
"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln
