Jew propaganda.

Everybody loves their children. Producing canards that they favor ideology over progeny is the first step in declaring them "other" and non-human.

Who would you rather be fucking your teen daughter?
Obama, Bush, Reagan or Kennedy?

I don't know about Australia, but telcos get such enormous public subsidies, plus the right to run virtual monopolies (at most 2 or 3 companies in the sector) over here in the States.

This is one of the things that's ultimately going to force innovation toward other kinds of networks (mesh, for example). There aren't that many private businesses that can be openly hostile to their customers and can be universally hated by all their customers and still make enormous profits year after year.

I saw this story a few days ago and immediately installed TOR on all the computers in the house. Even if I never feel that I have to use it, I want to know that I'm keeping the NSA busy.

It appears that NSA's best efforts to defeat TOR are failing utterly.

Other than the point that the demographics don't work, sure.

Here's a more recent story that can help ease your worries about the "demographics" don't work. Medicare is in good shape and can easily be made fully sustainable indefinite. There are even more recent studies that show immigration reform would put Medicare and Social Security on solid footing for the next half-century.

Now, are you playing games with the number (it was far higher than one)

You are asserting that there were any veterans who were prevented from visiting the memorial?

It's simply not true. Every Honor Flight vet who has gone to Washington DC in the past months has been able to visit the memorial. If you can find any evidence otherwise, please share it.

What H8?

There was no hate. It's part of the right-wing "rules for radicals" that certain accusations must be made.

Look for the keywords: "Hate" and "chaos" and my favorite, "demonic".

If you take a few minutes and look for most overheated words in any given National Review or Weekly Standard article, you will find that the same words appear, sometimes changing weekly. Vocabulary lists come down from the Koch-funded think tanks and get distributed downward. Then to the Blaze, and the Michele Malkin pages, then down, down to the American Thinker and at the bottom to the John Stacy McCain and Jim Hoft and Breitbart Zombies.

For example, the word "chaos" is the word du jour. It hits in the VD Hanson story and within hours it's showing up in twitter posts and blog comments by the Red State Trike Force. A week ago, you wouldn't find the word "chaos" in a single right-wing post. Today, you'll see it everywhere. Next week, a new word will replace it.

It's the same strategy that the despicable Newt Gingrich came up with years ago. The one where you have to refer to the other party as the "democrat party" etc.

It's a strategy to use when your agenda is basically immoral. You use glossological tricks to obscure your moral emptiness. It was a technique used to great effect by the Stalinists, and now embraced by the American Right.

Smitty, you're big on honor, and truth and eternal principles.

Has one single WWII veteran been prevented from visiting the memorial since the shutdown began? Were any of the Honor Flight veterans kept from their Memorial? This story about "veterans dropping dead", I understand that it's just a figment of the Right's demonic dishonesty, but I'm surprised to hear it coming from you.

If supporting your agenda requires you to set aside your most cherished principles, maybe you need to think about what you're doing and what you're supporting. Or is it just another case of the Right "lying to achieve a greater good"?

So you have an electric car agenda? The Tesla Model S weighs 4,600 lbs.

And the train that takes my wife to work weighs 200 tons. Does that mean it's less efficient than your Nissan Armada?

The bicycle that takes me to my office weighs about 22 lbs. So who wins?

Point is, nobody needs a 2-ton vehicle to take just themselves to the grocery store and back. Look at who's on the highway with you. SUV after SUV, 3000, 4000, 6000 lbs. Carrying one person. If it was just a matter of how much money you want to waste, I wouldn't care. But your waste affects me. Your external costs affect me.

The Blowback!

What is clear is you have fallen for Red-v-Blue/Right-v-Left political rhetoric

Nossir. I'm mocking Red v Blue rhetoric.

My point is that whichever caretakers we have in government really don't make much difference. The government's not running things in the US, hasn't for at least 30 years. No matter what the people in Washington do, the biggest corporations, the top 1% are going to increase their holdings, their wealth by leaps and bounds and the people who work for a living will lose ground.

We are living in a post-social contract age.

Whenever I see two Anonymous Cowards arguing back and forth like this, I like to pretend that it's someone with disassociated identity disorder arguing with himself.

It makes it more interesting that way.

Remember when the future was something you could look forward to, with optimism?

I think it is. That's the process I believe that I reference.
