No need for the mealy-mouthed question. Are you trying to accuse me of something?

I’m self-employed/retired. If you want financial advice, let me know.

The stars have aligned so perfectly for Biden that coincidence can hardly explain it. The campaign ending and endorsements of Klobuchar and Buttigieg ...

Lol. The phrase “OK Boomer” does apply here. These men are well into their 70’s.
March 05, 2020 at 19:09
I would never censor you, friend.

In some cases within the individualist tradition individual rights extend to collective organization, for instance in Bastiat. So I do not think it is...

Legendary tweet from the president. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1235633381595066373?s=21
March 05, 2020 at 18:36
That’s a good point. And as a corollary, military and military force is rarely applauded by statists, socialists and big government types in my experi...

Warren is out. https://twitter.com/msnbc/status/1235624381612797953?s=21 I hope Bernie gets the bump he needs.
March 05, 2020 at 18:01
I understand the utilitarian benefit of moving my vote to candidate B, which you explained quite nicely. But I consider my vote a statement rather tha...

As an aside, we should remember that laughter doesn't arise only out of humor, but it also appears in the most egregious cases of bullying and torture...

Oh right, it was Obama who rescued the economy. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act had absolutely nothing to do with. So we already have a numbe...

The The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was under Bush. The website for Obamacare cost over a billion dollars. Then there is the IRS targ...

I like to know what my president is thinking, whether he spits truth or not. You would prefer a gaggle of social media consultants, PR specialists and...

My eyes glaze over as soon as I see your reply. I’m surprised you didn’t go copy and paste some article to pad your lack of original thought.
March 04, 2020 at 23:06
If only your opinion mattered.
March 04, 2020 at 23:00
It’s a shame Obama was so effete and ineffective and boring. All that truth-telling got us nowhere.
March 04, 2020 at 22:59
That would certainly be true if I was interested in seeking and maintaining power, or as a corollary, blocking someone from achieving it. But to me, v...
March 04, 2020 at 22:47
No, it doesn't. I say this because everyone makes mistakes, exaggerates, misspeaks, forgets, and *gasp* lies. So I wager it gets tiring holding people...
March 04, 2020 at 22:24
Sure, counterfactually Warren's supporters may have switched to Sanders on her dropping out. I think that's a fair assumption. Frankly, I'd much rathe...

March 04, 2020 at 21:23
That’s easy to say when the power would be consolidated under the candidate you prefer. It’s not a strategy so much as it is simply complaining that y...

I’ve already responded to your loaded question while acknowledging how fallacious and bad faith it is. You can either accept that or follow your own d...
March 04, 2020 at 21:07
It’s a question loaded with presumptions. Either way I answer would make me seem complicit. That’s the point: you don’t want a discussion, you want to...
March 04, 2020 at 20:56
This is the 4th time you’ve asked your loaded question and expected an answer, even though I responded the first time you asked it.
March 04, 2020 at 20:29
I think it would be irresponsible to vote for someone along party lines or for strategic purposes, because to do so would be for the sake of power-gru...
March 04, 2020 at 20:27
Anyone who wants Warren to back out so as to syphon her voters to Bernie is concerned about seeking power, not policy. Warren is a capitalist and beli...

Yes we love a strong American economy, military and energy independence. It’s bound to help out the motherland.

He just needs to stick to his guns, especially when the Taliban aren't willing to do so. As Trump has always said on the matter, "We'll see what happe...

We're gluttons for punishment, I suppose.

Because Europe supports Bernie.

One of the reasons why branded drug prices are so high in the US is that, in effect, the US helps subsidize the rest of the world's global drug resear...

You’re zero for two, Benkei. (Or is it three?) and this from someone who claims to exist outside of propaganda.
March 04, 2020 at 15:33
Here’s my argument. Here’s what you cherry picked: Great argument.
March 04, 2020 at 15:26
And here you are cherry picking from the sidelines like a little cheerleader. U mad?

I think he means his socialist ideas, the ones that have proven ruinous to all the despotic regimes he once championed. https://youtu.be/K2d3DMC6qyg

You're zero for two. The GAO is an investigative arm of Congress with no power. It offers an opinion, or for democrats and their parrots, a piece of p...

The problem is Giuliani has documents and testimony, which I doubt you’ve seen or heard or even bothered to look at. Instead all you can do is post ar...

I suppose because the past has occurred. But remembering occurs in the present, as does everything else. There are no anterior states.

As an aside, an anti-Bernie pundit has just resigned. Chris Matthews of Hardball fame has stepped down amidst revelations about his "inappropriate com...

But no one and nothing else determined your affinity for philosophy but yourself.

Your money goes somewhere, certainly, but someone else gets to decide exactly where. For all you know you could be funding children in cages.
