You know, the simultaneously hilarious, yet utterly depressing, fact is that Robert Reich actually made that argument, in earnest, with a straight face, on TV. Even funnier, the MSM interviewer couldn't maintain his composure when confronted with such a broadside of pure BS, and started to giggle his followup question.

No, I'm not wrong, "pal." Not taking the labor of the American People is no more an "expense," then not getting a pay raise or a year-end bonus is an "expense."

I see.

No CL, I'm not going to brand you an antisemite. You know what's in your heart, just as I know what's in mine. I'm really disappointed. Identity politics is the game of those who I thought were our mutual enemy. It didn't surprise when the likes of dontlooknow and smedly dismissed the efforts of conservative minority members, and I have spoken time and again about my frustration how so many of my co-religionists are on the left, but I admit I'm blindsided by this.

But I cannot fathom why a person's name or faith or skin color should have any bearing on whether they should serve in a law making capacity, provided their heart and mind are in the right place. I would be loathe to think that you or any other conservative would decide to not vote for a Tea Partier or otherwise Constitutional-minded individual, who just happens to share my surname.

So, you're fed up with Jews, then? I thought proportionality arguments were a favorite of leftists.

Why the quotes, Cowboy Logic?

Yawn.

It's good to be one of the Nomenklatura.

The Bush/Obama tax cuts are more expensive than the Stimulus Act

Denying Government money it was never entitled to is not an expense. Never mind that not forcibly taking more of the fruits of the employer demographic's labor constitutes real stimulus.

These authors are mind shapers.

Yeah, right. Pull the other one.

Leave it to "Rethuglicans" to harsh the Obambots' buzz, huh?

One trait that "family service" agencies all seem to have in common, is a distaste for patriarchal households.
