i cant say on here what that makes me want to say or

jesus, wake me up when the rest of you people have god damn HAD ENOUGH

I dont know how long it takes to piss people off so much that someone like this would never consider saying this again, he has to feel the shame that making these kind of statements are not in his best interest

why he feels he can go around saying this is because we do nothing in response

but i wont do it alone, and i need others to feel the same way

That describes the cream of the crop among conservative thinkers. Most Republicans like Rick Perry aren't very seamless.

They don't even so much as blanch when you show where they contradict themselves. If time allows and I actually get to go the distance till they have no more BS talking points, every last one circles the wagons and ultimately uses the gun issue to defend their conservatism. It's ironic because knowing that gun-nuttery is their actual "single issue voter" reason, they always try to conceal that fact by trying to sound smart or otherwise "in the know" by using clinical sounding media-speak: but come off as looking like asses because the points they quote are either flat out wrong, distorted, or quoted out of context.

It's becoming a lonely world for the critical thinkers like us.

Sad as some are family and long time friends, but they can be so insufferable I just can't stand it.

some sway. I could counteract the falsehoods. But that was back in the 19980s. We had the big discussions. Arguments mostly. Every fear I thought of then has mostly taken place.

Brownback's tax cutting policy has been an utter failure: lagging job creation and a budget crisis.

Kansas was going to be the model state for the tax cutting philosophy, but the social experiment is in complete collapse now. Of course you'll have ideologists like Moore swooping in with lies trying to save their basic idea. But their basic idea is being exposed as a total con job. Wait until the real cuts required by their reckless spending starts to hit home with the average Kansan. It's going to be a shit show for the ages.

POS Moore, lying is the ONLY way to validate conservative fiscal policies.

political junkie observations,

if they did not tell lies,

they would be mute.

They are paid, skilled, habitual, liars.

They do not believe the bullshit they spew.

They are in it for money and power.

Lying is just the price of admission.

to struggle to make ends meet. Disgusting person. He and conservatives like him have this gift of demanding from others what they would never do themselves.

The studies that have been done where the minimum wage was raised have shown that employment was mostly unaffected. The MW is one way, and a modest one at that, of re-distributing income to the lower strata of society. There's no evidence that I have seen in any actual real-world scenario of a "massive" job loss as a result of a raise in the minimum wage.

Here's just one of many articles describing some of the real-world cases where raising the minimum took place and where studies were done to investigate its effects:

It's rare to see a reasonable, fact-based article on the issue.

The original intent of Moore's Star op-ed was to garner support for tax cuts enacted over the past two years by Gov. Sam Brownback (R-KS), which The New York Times and other outlets have labeled "ruinous." The tax cuts have been such a dramatic failure that more than 100 members of the Kansas Republican Party have sworn to help replace Brownback with a Democrat willing to reinstate taxes and spending at their previous levels.
