And all horses are vegetables. Logic is easy when you can make words mean whatever you want.

Let me make it a little more simple for you. All Communists are Fascists. Not all Fascists are Communists. All Communists and Fascists are Socialists. Socialists place the needs of the state above the rights of the people.

That’s a bit of an overgeneralization but as I said before, they vary in degree not kind.

No wonder Republicans aren’t taken seriously any longer.

That wasn’t a rant. But I suspect your statement was projection.

“Your Human Rights Commission is a joke. They’re a kangaroo court with a immense case of mission creep.”

This from the man who thinks Canadians have been disarmed by their government. Your ignorance is stunning.

“But to you CS the idea of free speech means not unfettered discourse but the ability to say fuck and watch porn on tv.”

You are controlled by puritans who are scared of sex. This has a huge impact on your society. In Canada gays can serve openly in the military and they can get married.

More freedoms!

“If you don’t consider yourself disarmed try purchasing a handgun for self protection.”

It’s easy to get a handgun in Canada, assuming you don’t have a criminal record and you’ve taken a safety course. But if I wanted a gun for self protection, I’d get a shotgun.

“Bravo for outlawing the importation of black slaves. I’m sure at this late date you can feel very smug about that.”

You are the one who claimed the United States valued freedom more than Canada. Then explain why Canada outlawed slavery before the United States.

Or were you just talking out of your ass and letting your prejudices do the thinking for you?

Translation: “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

Just because you were caught in an obvious racist rant doesn’t mean I’m obsessed. And you calling me obsessed isn’t going to stop me from calling you a racist. BECAUSE YOU ARE A RACIST.

“I never lied once about this.”

Yes you have. Repeatedly.

You gave several excuses and many were mutually exclusive. Therefore, you lied.

This is simply logic and unassailable.

“I don’t lie and I’m in no way an anti-Semite.”

I’ve proved otherwise.

“You, on the other hand, do lie, Strowbridge. You admitted you lied when you made up your charge that Jay Tea had been fired and was unemployed, which you pulled completely out of your ass.”

When I call someone a motherfucker, it doesn’t mean I think they are fucking mothers. Theirs or anyone else’s.

Yet you bring this point up. Repeatedly. It is almost like… you are obsessed! Oh my god!!!!

Idiot.

“You are also quite bigoted- you obviously hate America and Americans with a passion, or you wouldn’t spend so much of your day finding fault in this country and it’s citizens.”

And yet most of the people on this board are Americans, and I get along with them fine.

I work for an American company. My boss is American.

There evidence to support your claim just isn’t there.

In reality, I don’t hate all Americans, but I certainly hate you.

I hate you, because you are a loathsome, racist, toad.

To my eye, Jaim seems to be referring to employment at Taco Bell. To refer to the comestibles served at the company’s many outlets as “Mexican Food” is an insult to food and a slander against Mexicans.

Please tell us your understanding of Mussolini’s “fall from grace” as a socialist leader?

but I will neither describe them nor cite anyone who does. You’ll just have to take my word for it because I couldn’t find a different Hitler quote than the last one I posted.

But to you CS the idea of free speech means not unfettered discourse but the ability to say fuck and watch porn on tv. Classy CS. Get cable and you can while away the hours staring at the tv with a roll of toilet paper close at hand here too.
But in this country freedom of speech means much more than masterbation rights.

If you don’t consider yourself disarmed try purchasing a handgun for self protection. Bravo for outlawing the importation of black slaves. I’m sure at this late date you can feel very smug about that.

Fascism and the socialism practiced by Russia at the time of Mussolini’s rise shared a common desire, power and common ideaological base, Marxism. Thier commonalities are greater than thier differences. Communism never breaks through the authoritarian middle stage to the workers paradise.

Why is that a bad thing?

I.E., you lied about this subject in the past, therefore you are not trustworthy now. Do you have a logical argument against my point? Or are you simply going to attack me personally? Southern Strategy

Whatever your bizarre reasons are for hanging on this one topic proves your obsessive compulsive nature, Strwobridge. I thought when you posted very little the last couple of weeks and seemed to want to avoid the controversy that you displayed such a wanton passion for in the past that maybe you had found a good therapist that was able to help you. Evidently that was not the case, or else you’ve gone into relapse.

I never lied once about this. I told you I thought less of Stewart for changing his name and never offering an explanation. Perhaps he’s the one who’s ashamed of something, though I see no reason why he should be. His brother certainly wasn’t. I mentioned his brother because his brother was part of the same crowd that he and nearly everyone posting here at the time was demonizing- investment bankers, and another piece of information he wasn’t sharing as he was doing his demonizing of Wall Street.

I don’t lie and I’m in no way an anti-Semite. You, on the other hand, do lie, Strowbridge. You admitted you lied when you made up your charge that Jay Tea had been fired and was unemployed, which you pulled completely out of your ass. It’s a common thread with you, pulling shit out of your ass because of your bizarre need make points that are only theories to you; pure speculation like your weird Southern Strategy obsession, but nonetheless theories that you can’t make anywhere close to a decent case for without fabrication. And it’s pure fabrication you engage in with your baseless charge of anti-Semitism for stating Stewart’s birth name in passing without ever mentioning his heritage before, or anything at all whatsoever to do with anything Jewish-related. You are also quite bigoted- you obviously hate America and Americans with a passion, or you wouldn’t spend so much of your day finding fault in this country and it’s citizens.

But like I said before, it all stems from the obvious; that it’s yourself that you hate the most.

fafaroo: “Please back up this assertion.”

No response to this?

Or should we just assume you were talking out your ass?

Really? Are you fucking serious? That wasn’t a rhetorical question?

Oh my god! I can’t believe you are this fucking stupid!

Jesus Christ, you could have simply followed the link Oliver posted to have known the upturn began months ago, well before GM was taken out of the DOW. How can GM being removed be a factor, when it turned around BEFORE GM was removed.

Fucking hell. It was a serious question.

“You, on the other hand, proved once more that you are simply capable of civil discourse with those who do not march in lockstep with you.”

And you attack me for lack of civility in the same post that you call me a, ‘persistent, quintessential, lying asshole’.

Nice piece of hypocrisy there.

But what truly warms my heart is the fact that you are just, plain, fucking wrong.

The facts are the facts.

The question about GM was not one. I tossed it out as a possibility — one that might have played a small part in the whole situation. I still think it did play a small part, and serves as a partial explanation.

You, on the other hand, proved once more that you are simply capable of civil discourse with those who do not march in lockstep with you. That was a tremendously redundant effort on your part, as that particular aspect of your character has been long established, but it was kind of you to reaffirm it for those who might have had any doubts.

J.

Please back up this assertion.

…

I didn’t say that it was the only factor, or that it was even a factor. I just tossed it out.”

It’s called a Cavuto, which is defined as asking a question to make a point, not to elicit an answer. It’s a form of a rhetorical question.

Someone who writes for a living should know what a rhetorical question is.

Or maybe you don’t, and that’s why you got fired from being a blogger.

(Tee hee hee.)
