So this means:

1) Lower taxes. Okay, that's good, even if it is
for eevil corporations. Lower taxes are greeeeatt!

2) Limits on litigation. Cool. Maybe doctors will
want to be ob/gyns again. Seriously, it's a bad thing
when doctors go on strike. And that crap like suing
tobacco companies just to loot them, just because you
can, is bullshit. And maybe someday, cities can have
the stuff like they used to, like public pools and
swings and slides in public parks and stuff. Litigation
lawyers are overbred and need to be culled like by 98%.

3) ANWR. Outstanding idea. 1/175,000th of Alaska has
an oil rig on it is not what I would call an environmental
catastrophe. Obviously, most people who are really upset
about it have never BEEN to Alaska. It makes as much
sense as saying that Texas would be utterly destroyed by
having one hundredth the number of oil rigs on it that
it currently has. Some perspective, please. Plus, the
Alaskans themselves are all for it. It's as silly as
congress arguing over whether you should be permitted to
grow a small plant in your apartment. None of their
business.

4) Supreme Court justices have a tendency, though not
always, of doing their own thing, no matter who appoints
them. Probably half the appointees will be "free spirits",
just as likely to vote liberal as conservative.

it's a bad thing when opportunistic pinks put them in the position of
having to strike. okay, there's a percentage of doktors who chose that
career because of the money, or the drugs, or the power, most likely
just the oxygen/nitrous mix they have in ambulances, but anyway, many of
them become doktors out of a genuine need to help people.

the Jim Bakker way, for example.

Nu-monet, why don't you take your bullshit neo-conservative apologia
and shove it up your ass where it will do somebody some good.

Fuckheads like you got that chimp reelected.

You can counterargue any point. If you set out with the presumption
that a specific point is true and then start looking for arguments to
prove it, you can be very effective. It worked for the Catholic
church for 1500 years. And a voting populace, who doesn't have the
time or desire to delve deeply into every issue facing the nation and
the world (and nobody really does) tries to find the END of the
argument. "OK, who WON?" So as long as you have one vocal person
supporting a counterpoint, and saying "I WON", you can make it look to
the casual viewer as if that counterpoint is valid. That counterpoint
can be (and in practice usually is) completely irrelevant and can
completely fail to refute the basic point in any substantial way. All
that matters is that you be persistent.

That was how highly-paid think tanks managed to convince the world,
despite years of warning, that global warming was a myth ... until it
was too late to do anything about it. The reasons that were presented
for supposing that global warming was a myth never really made sense
and never really held up to close examination. They amounted to
things like "well we don't really KNOW that the fact that warming
trends have increased as predicted by global warming PROVES global
warming", which amounts to saying "unless you can attribute every
micro-Joule of thermal energy directly to greenhouse effect then I
refuse to believe it", which is a really stupid argument. And that is
how the neo-conservative religious whack job right wing manages to
continue to convince the world that it isn't as stupid or basically
ideologically bankrupt as it appears.

That is why a large percentage of the population still believes that
there were WMD's in Iraq, and that Iraq was somehow linked to 9/11.
As long as the right wing could keep telling people "BUT NO, here's
one more counterargument" then they nod and say "they win". Even if
those counter-arguments are themselves largely irrelevant and stupid,
like finally dredging up ONE GUY who said something about Uranium, a
guy who was completely un-credible and despite the fact that this one
guy's story about Uranium is not really substantially relevant to the
overall issue.

Focus intently on the trees, and people will forget all about the
forest.

The sad thing is I know when people like you do this they really
believe it themselves. They get themselves focussed intently on the
tree and forget the forest.

It seems incredible to me that anybody could make an argument as
fatuous as "1/175,000th of Alaska has an oil rig on it is not what I
would call an environmental catastrophe" and not know they were making
a completely fucking idiotic argument. Citing the ratio of land mass
covered by oil wells to land mass not covered by oil wells is a
completely fucking idiotic way to evaluate environmental impact. Or
arguing "well gosh, supreme court justices can be 'free spirits'".
Why the FUCK do you think they fight so hard to get their own
appointees in? Mebbe they are just too dumb to know what nu-monet
knows. Or MAYBE some vague hand waving about "free spirits", while
strictly true (of course any justice can vote any way he wants) is
nonsense in practice (justicice's stands on the political issues the
office-holders are interested in pushing are well known and
predictable).

It's a whole line of bullshit arguments. You have some general
personal slant that the right wing is over-maligned and liberals
over-respected and so you come up with SOMETHING that seems to prove
it. Even if those arguments are basically fatuous.

Stupid-ass voters got that fucking chimp back in office, and I hate
every last fucking one of them. But it wouldn't have worked without
people like you, spinning half-truth and lies of ommission.

But don't let a little reality stand in your way.

The reason "liberals" have lost power is because they actually think
about things.

There is such a thing as "liberals" but most people who are labelled
liberals are not "liberals" the way a conservative is a conservative.
They are people who have looked at a variety of issues and come to
conclusions that the knee-jerk "conservative" group labels "liberal"
as a way of belittling them.

Most of the issues that identify "conservatives" are characterized by
being really fuckind stupid. Bible thumping. Being opposed to the
sexual habits or drug use of strangers, which will never affect them.
Being in favor of ripping the environment to shreds. They are,
inevitably, irrational emotional stances that make no sense on any
kind of close examination.

But they have been very effective in labelling anybody who looks at
these issues and says "that's really fucking stupid" as "cry-baby
liberals" or any other 3-syllable label that sounds cutting, and
thereby avoiding having to actually think about their ideas and
beliefs at all.

No, it's not about whether it's stupid to rip the environment to
shreds! It's about those god damn hippy liberals! Focus on that and
you don't have to think about whether it makes sense! And hell, we
spent a few million and hired a bunch of bent scientists who say it
does too make sense!

Most "liberals" came to the conclusions that cause them to be labelled
"liberals" because they actually devoted some thought to the issue.
And so "liberals" as a group tend to be people who are inclined to
look at both sides of an issue.

So the face that "liberals" present to the world isn't as dramatic or
simple as what "conservatives" do. The latter are only interested in
winning, in the most effective way possible. Reality be damned.

The former though tend to try to present a balanced, intelligent view
without extremism.

But it makes them less dramatic and less convincing.

Well, that' s likely how "Liberal" got to be an epithet,
instead of a laudatory appellation. But I would reckon
that most groups like liberals and conservatives are
about 80% sheep and 20% goats.

There are definitely card-carrying Liberals, they annoy the shit out
of me.

Michael Moore is a good example. Or whatever the fuck his name is,
the guy who directed Farenheit 9/11 . He would probably qualify as a
subgenius by a lot of standards but I think he should be bent over and
sheepfucked with a glowing branding iron.

Why do you think he should be so cruelly abused - because he had the balls and
tenacity to get several movies (well) made, poking fun at over-serious captains
of industry and state? What do YOu do that's any better than that? Aside from
being 'the final voice of reason' on alt.slack, that is?

I'm all in favor of what he did do, but he leaves himself open to some
valid counterattacks, and by that I think does more harm than good.

Poor sad little liar, there will be no shutting up this time, sorry. You
are in for 4 more years of "the election was stolen" - because your party
wanted it that way.

You can blow your military bravado out your ass, nu-monet, because it's
empty and we know it. Giving and following orders doesn't take courage
or balls or whatever ill-defined machismo it is that you want us to
think you have in spades.

Oh, and I don't think anyone is planning on "shutting the fuck up" any
time soon: if anyone wants us silent, they'll have to silence us. And
yes, they will, in fact, have to pry my pen or my keyboard from my cold,
dead hands, though I very much doubt it'll ever come to that.

All this hand-wringing is starting to get a little overdone, people.
Kerry was edged out by a couple points in an election where more
eligible voters stayed home than voted for either major candidate. The
country will survive, and even if it doesn't, the catastrophic decline
will make for good TV.

I disagree. Many people started out with the presumption that Bush was
evil and that the war in Iraq was started for evil purposes, then they
started looking for arguments to prove it, and obviously that was not
effective.

Nu-monet was right in his follow-up to you; the Left complained and
complained about BushCo but offered no real plan to replace his. You
can't win an election simply by tearing down the opposition. That is
especially true if he is an incumbent. If you don't provide a
replacement that is centrist enough to appeal to those in the vacuum
you've created, then all you've done is to create a vacuum, if anything
at all.

I agree with that. I think it's a dumb stance for a voter to take,
but I think you're right.

I watched an old Star Trek last night. Mr. Spock was in command of a
landing party, and they were attacked by these huge gorilla-creatures.

Spock refused to kill any of them, instead he set up a demonstration
of the effectiveness of their phasers, to scare them off.

The plan didn't work, the gorilla-creatures attacked anyway. Spock
was stymied. "That was a completely illogical response!"

That's me.

Right down to being surrounded by dangerous violent gorilla-creatures.

Look where you are. You're in a newsgroup devoted to a religion based
on the idea that PEOPLE (in the main) ARE STUPID. People don't want to
think. They don't want to intellectualize. They want results and they
want others to achieve them. They want brain candy and beer and pretty
colors. There is nothing on earth that will change that. The other main
tenet of this religion is that one must TAKE ADVANTAGE of the stupidity
of others. As nu-monet said, "DEAL WITH IT, AND SHUT THE FUCK UP", but
I would say it the other way around, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND DEAL WITH IT".

SHUT THE FUCK UP: Stop whining about how stupid people are, and how
unwilling they are to wrack their brains in order to follow your
political theories and reasoning.

DEAL WITH IT: Give them a CLEAR, simple, and viable-sounding alternative
to what they have. If it's attractive enough they'll choose it.

The rallying cry of the left should have been "PROBLEM:SOLUTION",
not just "PROBLEM:".

That may be what "Bob" does, but that doesn't make it a tenet. The way
of the SubGenius is to be killing "Bob" at any opportunity - otherwise
we'd be just be another goddamned religion.

Plan? PLAN???? No one *really* has a plan: they just react to events.

What did you expect the dems to do, write a long list of exactly what
they were going to do, step by step?

That would have worked *great*. Tell the opposition exactly what you
want to do in detail so they can criticise in detail.

If it was a good plan then there would have been little to criticize
about it. Oh, and you can replace "plan" with "vision" if you like.

The dem's mantra of "Bush is evil" and not much more was only able to
create somewhat of a vacuum, and a temporary one at that.

>> You

The repubs were able to suck longer and harder than the dems,
that's all. But imagine what would've happened if the dems had
had several hundred gallons of rotten milk (i.e. a plan, or vision)
that they could've injected into the vacuum line while the repubs
were sucking with all of their might... Now THAT would've been
something to SEE!!


I remember seeing a commercial one time where a bunch of protesters
were waving these generic protest signs around with slogans like
"NO!!" and "STOP!!" and "DOWN WITH IT!!" and nothing else. They
reminded me of the dems in this last campaign.

Of course, this is all moot, or will be when Vertigo changes the
election process for us all so that the dems can win ANYWAY.

If the Dems keep to their strategy as articulated by the DLC (essentially,
ignore working people and try to be Republicans), they'll never win anything

"The Alaskans themselves" are not the ones who will be harmed by such drilling
- it's liable to harm the migration runs of caribou, and those are essential to
the lives of Innu who live there, and just across that invisible line in the
snow, in Canada. The farther north you go, the more territory it takes to make
a living - so the Innuit need 100's of times as much land as do southerners,
just to eke out a subsistence.

It will also be very expensive oil, Cheney's assertions notwithstanding. Easier
to pay a fair price to Arabs, where clean oil fairly seeps out of the sand.

Let's all hope the above is offset by a fresh round
of ongoing *group-beheadings* by Al Zarquri in
Iraq and elsewhere.

Hopefully also all the new candidates for an "Islamic Haircut"
will be the many a'merkin xian missionary church types
now flooding the Middle East, with follow-up skullphucking
show by the overweight guys in black in the background
holding the AK's with big horsecocks as the post-game show.

Short of that we'll settle for a nice sacrificial
Vietnam-style bloodbath in Falluja or Sadir
City with lots of nice gory pics to wank to
on ogrish.com or some good Iraqi donkey-phucking pron.

There's still enough Democrats to fillabuster. All they need is a
Minority Leader who won't be taken out by his or her home state for
using it (a la Daschle). I'm sure there are plenty of volunteers.

Harry Reid from Nevada wants the job, and word 'round the campfire is
he'll get it.

The scariest thing I've seen thus far is how we have 3 factions. 2/3 of
all elegible voters voted, and 1/3 stayed home and didnt care to
participate.

The first third managed to garner JUST ENOUGH support to
become the largest third. This third sees a dangerous world and a has
percieved need to feel they are being protected with little regard on how
that will be provided.

The second third has the median amount of support via a concious group
of progressive thinkers. This second third worries on how the first third
will provide for the first thirds protection, and the sacrifices the
second third will make as the first third sees it's plan to fruition.

The third third feels disenfranchised from the entire process, it's being
a chaotic construct. All's the third third knows that they can buy gas for
thier vehicles and have access to affordable chesseburgers on demand. This
final third lives with little other concerns other than those already
mentioned as the third thirds nature.

The members of both the first and second thirds have the more in common
with the third third than either the first or second third have in common
without the third third.

Which thirds third is most likely to serve as concensus reality?
