Waltrot: Blow it we must! It will...will..destroy the Precious! It is no longer the party of our Precious! No longer the party of Sumner!
Grand Old Partisan: One time Charles Sumner was walking through the railroad yards of Boston and a group of ex slaves came up to him and bowed to his feet saying "thank you marse' Sumner making us your voters" and Sumner, overcome with joy from their show of generosity, told them "you need not bow at my feet when the kissing of my ring will suffice," and for that reason he is, in the words of the great Robert Ingersoll, "the most generous of Republicans" (his words). You can read all about it if you buy more copies of my book.
mac_truck: Charles Sumner, ha! Wasn't he the fella who tried that legitimate impeachment of Andrew Johnson? Not like that fake one of Clinton. The right wing conspirators did that and they trashed our constitution to get Clinton over what? That's right. SEX. An adult consentual relationship with an intern.
tpaine: Typical. -- No rep_LY; to co'nstitutional _---------------------------------- rationality..
Ditto: How did you get in here?
tpaine: How did you get in here ---- #132- get in-I did; how ------------- Ditto ________ #138 Please, ad-mods - DO NOT. pUll -- THIS POST ======
Ditto: Whatever.
Non-Sequitur: Squack! Tu quoque! Lee did it to! Squack!
Wlat: Then to the left must we turn?
Waltrot: No! Precious we may save by being the left but saying the right. Welfare is conservative, we tell them. Taxes are capitalist, we say. The Lincoln is progressive and progressive is the right and neo-confederates are the left.
justshutupandtakeit: But welfare is a conservative part of capitalism because it keeps the labor class from poverty. And taxes protect us from competition abroad just like Hamilton said...
Grand Old Partisan: That's right cause the neoconfederates are all Democrats and their history is all written by Democrats, which you can read about if you buy my book.
justshutupandtakeit: ...but Hamilton said taxes protect us, but protectionist taxes are not protectionist...
mac_truck: Should we align ourselves officially with any organizations, mars' Wlat? Cause I know one called the World Socialist Website - they're a legitimate political organization and even have James McPherson to vouch for them.
Wlat: Of primary concern it is to protect...protect the preeeecious!
mac_truck: Well, can we? Or how about utilizing your connections in the Democratic Party, Wlat?
justshutupandtakeit: ...and a good magistrate will install protectionist taxes like a monarch, even though he isn't a monarch but a monarchial magistrate which is a monarch but not a monarch...
Ditto: Gee, takeit. What on earth are you talking about?
justshutupandtakeit: Quit talking to me! You are changing the words! You are changing the meaning of the words that I am saying! But they're not really words, they're phrases...
Wlat: Then agreed we are. Disguise the left and call it the right.
justshutupandtakeit: ...in fact they are not even taxes, just administrative fees upon the states...
Wlat: Then our plan of attack is set. Mac - you initiate phase one by defending President Clinton. Devise a defense against impeachment then call it strict constructionist
mac_truck: I am no longer mac. You will call me Rusty. Rusty Shackleford.
justshutupandtakeit:...but they aren't really states because they had to be created by the union...
Wlat: Non-Seq - you work to portray that joker puppet Dubya as a draft dodger, but don't let it be confused with Robert Lincoln.
Non-Sequitur: Draft dodger Bush! Tu quoque! Davis did it too! Tu quoque! Squack!
justshutupandtakeit: ...which isn't really a union, but is The Union, and you are engaging sophistry to call it something other than The Union and just a union!
Wlat: Partisan - you will study up on Julian Bond. Mimic his words and strategies for his goals are the same as our own.
Grand Old Partisan: I'll go a step further and write them into my book, which by the way you can buy if you visit my website.
justshutupandtakeit: ...and The Union, which is a Union but ceases to be a Union says we should buy, which means purchase but not buy, Partisan's book cause it's really good and great, but good isn't great and great is good...
Wlat: justshutupandtakeit - you keep up right where you are. Tell us the virtues of Hamilton and his tax and spend successors, then convince everyone that Hamiltonianism leads to limited government conservatism unlike Jefferson, who is a leftist.
Grand Old Partisan: Jefferson was the limousine liberal of his day. I forgot to put that in my book, but you can still buy it anyway at my website.
Wlat: And Ditto - you act as our reserve unit to take the place of any others who fall into exile. Oh, and mac...
mac_truck: Rusty. My new name is Rusty.
Wlat: Er, a Rusty. Yes. Your appreticeship progresses greatly. In due time I shall bestow the level of master upon you.
mac_truck: That's great Walt but...but I fear the transmission is disrupting. They...they're spying. The Knights of the Golden Circle have constructed a large mirror device with the money Judah Benjamin stole from the New Orleans mint and transferred through the Hapsburgs to the south american confederate colony. It's...disrupting our coder. End connection! End connection!
Grand Old Partisan: Before we go I still have several unsold copies of my book for anyone who is interested.
Wlat: That should conclude the day's business. This meeting stands adjourned. May the Lincoln be with you!
