What is the issue?
I think some of us might be getting a little too flipped out with the use of constant personal attacks.
So much for conservative principles. It Marx's idea that what a person thinks depends on his income and class membership. That is what Notary expressed above; that is what has become common sense on this forum: if someone merely questions the bashing of capitalism, he must belong to the spooky class of capitalists --- hust as with all communists, no reasoning, no facts, of course.
Hey, FReepers, do you even recognize commie worldview when it stares at you?
Probably not. Well, enjoy; continue to serve as useful idiots; bash capitalist institution you do not understand -- Wall Street (make sure it's especially Goldman), CEOs and their bonuses, "obscene" profits of oil companies.
Your side is winning: useful idiots that bash capitalism without understanding of how it works helped put a commie in the White House. Enjoy.
Chill girl friend, don’t take it personal and it
won’t be personal, others here appreciate your posts.
See post #44. Some people have all the answers and become very emboldened from behind their keyboards. To me, it’s just noise.
TQ thinks she’s a commie.
Actually I think he thinks we are all commies.
Maybe he’s a commie, you never can tell, they
are like muslims.
It’s not capitalism when the banks are co-opted by the government.
Business can be criticized for it's excesses without saying “the whole system is rotten”.
But that is my opinion. I think a forum like this should be for others to express their viewpoints even if we see them as wrong.
Please don’t quit.
I know it is hard to be constantly LIED ABOUT.
The pro-bankers are false witnesses and slanders. They don’t even make comments related to the thread, or the post. They just attack and whine. Cowards and babies.
They are evil in their constant barrage of hate.
I appreciate your posts and the effort you make to bring financial issues to this site. Lots of Freepers are still in the dark, but more will wake up as time goes on.
I think everybody should hit the abuse button from now on when the “pro-bankers” make personal attacks against fromLori EVERY TIME THEY DO IT!
I know I started yesterday.
No, absolutely not.
I just don't know why some people feel the need to be so contentious and rude to her.
It takes quite a bit of effort to seek and find various articles and then to post them only to have the same people WHINE and complain over and over. Real discouraging for the person posting the articles.
I see what you are saying and I agree somewhat. I feel that many with their eyes open are trying to shine the light on raging Facism. Many Freepers are total advocates of capitalism, but that is not what we have in America.
I don't mind rhetorical sarcasm at all. But this was more than sarcasm. It suggested to conspiracy theorists on this tread that statistics are somehow hidden, which is false. You also falsely attributed publication to "Obama administration," although statistics are not handled by political appointees.
And you continue the same in your reply: "Only U3 gets wide dissemination." But wide dissemination is not handled by the government at all --- not by Obama and not even by BLS. It is up to the media to decide how well our dumbed-down population, victims of our schools and colleges, can read statistical tables.
For someone who knows the way to BLS publications and finds typos with easy, you exhibit too little of disciplined thinking and basic fairness. Your rhetorical devices would be just fine otherwise.
P.S. Hope no new typos will distract you from the point of this post.
No, absolutely not.

Ain't that he truth. Anyone siding with the bank cartels now are either employed by them or just so lonely they'd take al-Qaeda's side in an argument in hope of someone responding to them.
I am a capitalist, and when the company I work for suffers losses due to poor investment decisions (it has happened) what we do NOT do is run to the government for a 0.05% loan, or demand that the Treasury Department buy our junk assets with taxpayer money at far above market value.
We suck it up, book our losses like grownup men and women, and carry on. And every American CEO that does the same has my full and unqualified support.
I completely agree. If you find where they have been "co-opted" -- whatever that means -- let's hear it. I would like the perps to go to jail for subverting the democratic process and the Constitution of this great country.
So, let's hear it.
Warning: providing evidence may require you to understand what you are talking about. It may even require you to study the issue (no, I don't mean browsing the Web).
But, by all means, let's hear it. Put up or shut up.
OK
Above is post #3.
Prove to me TopQuark, where fromLori spewed ANY commie proganda, blamed GS, the Fed and the CEO bonuses IN THE POSTS BEFORE YOURS!!!!!!
LIAR
You can't TopQuark.
TopQuark is a LIAR
Show me something in my posts or in Lori's which is specifically "communist", bearing in mind that:
(1) The principle under law that he who wishes to collect a debt must prove he is rightfully entitled to collect is not communism;
(2) The idea that insolvent companies have a claim upon the US Treasury or the Federal Reserve for restoration of their solvency through asset purchase is not communism.
I don't.
I have seen plenty enough Bagdad Bennies to know they are lying.
This is faulty logic, I am sorry to say: seeing great many liars (I am so sorry you are surrounded by so many of them) has no relevance on the truthfulness of the next person.
You do know that the statistics he spouts have been squeezed, stomped, stretched, pounded and otherwise massaged in order to present what he wants them to look like. Don’t you? No, I do not. A few years back, I even known personally some of those people. Many of them are conservative. Lying in reports would require a massive conspiracy in which those people would never participate and would blow the whistle on other conspirators in a heartbeat.
You've just defamed innocent people with no visible hesitation. You think that violating basic Commandments and American traditions is conservative?
Most importantly, what I know is unimportant. Since you make accusations, what matters is your knowledge. So I asked in the previous post
:: If you have evidence that he misrepresents the data, let's hear it.
Wouldn't it be easier to answer the question rather than discussing what I know?
Just answer the question --- if you have anything to say, that is.
