The author unveils his political bias transparently in the book, and I would guess he's now seeing how a lot of the authoritarian types jumped right into being Obamabots straight from being Bushbots. (Several people make this point on his comments page, too, after reading the book.) Also, I...

Norway is socialist depending on your definition of socialism. And everyone seems to have a different definition. Norway is solidly capitalist by Marx's definition of socialism. ETA: What are you meaning by eugenics?

Where are you getting this from??? Lots of leftists were willing to support RP over Obama. American history has proven that drones and kill lists and gulags are coming for the lefties quite literally next.

Did you read my OP? I gave TWO examples of giving up money that's going to social programs for the sake of balancing the budget, in the name of compromise.

He and I have a long thing where I detest him, and I assume the feeling is mutual.

I don't disagree with any of that. :) (and conversations like these are another primary reason I hang out here sometimes)

Ok, I guess you guys aren't willing to compromise to defeat the current DemGOP fascist regime. Question answered. :( I still think it was a good idea.

Sweden sucks compared to Norway. Norwegians have many more freedoms than Americans. Norway also has a stronger and saner safety net. And lower taxes. Norway is by far my favorite country.

Yes! That's what I'm saying, too. Not sure how wires are getting crossed here?

Have you read the free Ebook "the Authoritarians"? (I just did, and if you read it it will confirm a lot of what you're saying. Great book! Really.) I guess I just think the internet is a game changer. There are still a LOT of Obamabots, for sure, but I think people might be wising up. Over at...
