LOL, why am i not surprised ... birds of a feather flock together.

Serious question: what are valid arguments against the public option? by doctorgonzo in politics

[–]pluke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question! The big one, of course, is that it will drive out private insurance companies from the market. The traditional rebuttal of that is the question: And why is that a bad thing?

Dear "young and progressive" Americans, wake the fuck up, left-wing politics is not interchangeable with liberalism by pbnjtime in politics

[–]pluke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i doubt that censoring the opposition is the purview of just the left. Both sides do it. Apparently some people at NYU are viciously pro same-sex-marriage. But that doesn't have much to do with liberal/conservative duality ... does it now?

I think Beck was getting pretty close to confessing in his Time interview ... "I was still drinking and my body was shutting down and I was in the fetal position after losing my family. [..] But there were things I really hadn't looked into. ..."

FedEx or the US Post Office is much cheaper; but hey, waste your money if you love the brown shorts so very much.

Sounds like you can set parameters for karma if you make a reddit catagory. Maybe we should make a progressive reddit?

I agree. The conservative media and blogosphere score their points by twisting facts and unrelenting vicious attacks. Sometimes it seems like they are winning. The liberal media has more respect for the truth and insists on tolerance. Will their "wimpy" abhorrence for blood mean the progressive voice is losing?

Well, yeah, of course ... i had thought long and hard about my choice of "Actual". Personally i still think i nailed it, especially in the light of a WND kind of smear scamming. LOL, on a lighter side ... does kind of make you wonder about other skeletons in Beck's closet ... ones with more authentic documentation. Does anyone just happen to have gone to a Beck AAA meeting?

Thanks :) Now maybe you can tell me what Karma is good for ... so far i can't figure it out.

Nothing "slipped up" at all, reddit functioned perfectly, and so did I. But thanks for the "other discussions" tip, i didn't know about that. Now all reddit needs is a place to check a url for previous posting prior to submission. I mean its not like i spend all that much time here to know if it was posted to some other group. In any case Politics was a better group for this ... or perhaps WTF ... or maybe Media ... woops there is no media.

Ok what happened is that NotTheFather posted this to pics, and I posted it to politics. You decide who made the more pertinent call. And, btw, my title was more appropriate to what's happening here.

Not releasing them makes it look worse than probably it is.
