I was compelled to go over there & study the enemy. And god know it was just as bad as I suspected. They are so deep in the metaphorical cave that no light will reach them.
I went & poked a bunch of them with pointed replies to their (very) racist rants & angry pronouncements. And most saw that I was a troll and chose not to respond. But one did.
This guy is named IronManSouth. I think he's an older guy .. Check him out. I think he's a little tougher than most, but it's a good representative of the thinking over there.
This was in reference to an article about Alan Dershowitz being bothered by the Jews who are giving Sheldon Adelson a hard time for attempting to buy the presidency for Romney... My opinion is that the Dersh should just go to Israel & stop trying to make America subservient to Israel's desires.. But you know.. he's a Harvard Prof.. So we must respect & Honor the Dersh's stupid opinion as if he has substance... but that's another diary.

Why? Communists will take money from the likes of Bill Maher. If that isn't "dirty money" I don't know what is.
The double standard the Communist party puts up is so transparent that it is no longer effective to those outside the hard core base that will blindly vote for Communists anyway

Are you referring the the Democrats? I don't know that there are communists out there lately.
What exactly is wrong with Bill Maher's money? Please explain why is $1M is as problematic as Adelson's $100M+ from his Chinese casino company.

I am referring to the Communist Party of the United States otherwise known as Democrats. I am tired of this phony PC BS! I studied Communism back when I was looking down the barrel of a Russian tank back during the Cold War. The more I read the more I came to the realization that there was NO difference between Communists and those in this country who referred to themselves as Democrats. The goals of total control are EXACTLY the same.
Not that I think that much of RINOS, who would bleed the people dry a little at a time but they are better than those who would strip me of my God given rights for the betterment of society.
As for Chinese money, where was the indignation when Clinton was receiving huge contributions from the Chinese? Don't try pulling the double standard on me Thagnut. `

I looked it up. In 1996 it was attempted by the Chinese & the scandal involved @ $450K. That's 0.4% the amount involved by Adelson - so far. So a differences in scale by a factor of over 200 is 'exactly the same'? And does something that happened 16 years ago really matter to you?
Eventually this election will run in the $billions - much of it from foreign non-citizens. You know, these folks who spend this $ for elections - they don't care about you or your opinion. Many will be doing things you disagree with. It seems to me you've lost some influence over this thing compared to how it was before Citizens United.
By the way, you know of course that taxes are lower now than they've been in 70 years.. You write as though someone were twisting a knife in your back at this very moment... Are you perhaps .. oversensitive?

We have a dictator in the Whitehouse who thumbs his nose at the Constitution. He cannot accept responsibility for the failings of his own misguided economic policy. He has told religious institutions they have to violate their beliefs in order to continue employment for thousands. He has granted amnesty to tens of thousands of illegals. His sycophants in the Senate bottle up much needed legislation so he can blame the other party. His heavy handed regulations have all but closed down all growth in the private sector. And we are looking at huge tax increases at the end of the year. People are afraid to spend, corporations are afraid to invest. Unemployment is worse than any time since the great depression. The Country is coming apart at the seams Damn right I have a knife in my back and that knife has the hand of COMMUNISM, progressivism, Democrats all over it.
I swore an oath to the Constitution and I take that oath seriously! I will not stand by silently while it is stolen from us by people who have also sworn an oath to uphold and defend it.
So there you have it. He's unreachable, and amazingly un-self-reflective.
And he's squealing like the Democrats are about to blot out the sun... We have apparently been punching him in the junk and poking him in the eye for decades. He is one of millions. I know Obama is less-than-hoped-for, but together let's make sure IronManSouth is very unhappy in November.
