Yeah, well, whatever mate. 3D design and Design Engineering are good sources, but not blogs -and I happen to read Design Engineering often as a matter of fact. I just don't bother to post from sites such as that on general purposes.

At least if one of those was your source, instead of the barely-coherent ramblings of some donger off 'is face I might have found it worth more than just roo-bait.

As it is, unsourced, personal opinion dressed up as somehow newsworthy, and unreferenced -not to mention pointless- besides, I hardly see how that merits any mention whatsoever.

But hey, go on with your earbashing then. I'm out for a shout with a sheila who usually looks pretty good when she throws on a gob of lippy in a bit, and after that you can keep on showin' how your kanga's loose in the top paddock all you want then.

Cheers!

The Democrats moved to the right? Not so much. The article is flawed, and I believe that Obama’s disapproval rating is proof.

The piece is unintentionally interesting. It shows the distortions in the lenses through which the left views the right. The author is obviously a leftist who believes himself to be a centrist. If he isn’t yet willing to call himself a socialist, he’ll get there next week.

The Republican Party moved right? No, idiotic writers, the Republican Party is still run by Democrats. We are not moving leftward, we are still right.

Nothing against you. I just looked at the blog post and wanted to zot it pure out of hate for liberal opinions.

Re: “First, economic inequality has worsened significantly in the United States.”

Yeah, big surprise.

Since the Reagan Amnesty in 1986, we have imported 30 million low skill, low education foreign immigrants.

Thanks for posting, Vet.

Knowing what our political opponents are thinking about is ALWAYS important to me.

but I never expected the U.S. military leadership would be so inept in fighting there and in Iraq,

Our military is not inept. It is the leaderless governmentat home that screwed the pooch....... Our troops had their hands tied by spineless and idiotic President and Congressional leaders... The term leaders is used as a joke.....
Also the Republ;ican party has mobed to the left which is why they lose Presidntial elections..... It is the poeple that are moving to the right..........

(The Affordable Care Act is a good example of how both parties have moved to the right on health care.)

Now that was plain funny. Nothing says free market capitalism (the “right”) than a healthcare law that for the first time intended to force everyone to buy a product, and tells exactly what products are now illegal to be sold, and in minute details the minimum requirements of such a product! Unfortunately, this example was also typical of the rest of the article.

Income inequality, Income inequality, Income inequality, that's all they ever say. What they never mention is how do they want to divide the wealth? And by whom?

Our fair and sensible government?

I think the best way is for each individual to decide how to divide the wealth.
The more you prepare, and the harder you work, the bigger share you get.
It's the fairest way.

Excuse me, I just finished wiping the puke off the screen.
My stomach turns every time I read something like
“Republicans moved to the right.......”. Republicans by
nature are suspect of change and resist it when it is
thought to be change for the worse. Twenty years ago both
Republicans and Democrats did not believe same sex marriage
was a good thing. Who changed? Forty years ago both
Republicans and Democrats thought it was a good idea to
enforce our borders. Who changed? Fifty years ago both
Republicans and Democrats thought it was a good idea for
couples to be married before having children. Who changed?
Sixty years ago both Republicans and Democrats believed
in taking personal responsibility for our actions. Who
changed?

Party politics aside, the job of liberals is to come up
with bad ideas while the job of conservatives is to put
the skids to those ideas. When the Democrats say that
Republicans moved to the right what they are really saying
is that they moved to the left and the Republicans refused to go there with them.

How we fought? Obama's drone onslaught, anyone? Rogue intel agencies? Are you kidding me? That is an establishment problem in both parties, not a Dem/GOP divide.

This is just a bunch of babble.

Wow, what twisted “logic” by a leftist trying to redefine conservatism by claiming that the Left is the true hero of conservatism. Almost as bad as the Federal court using a pizza analogy to try to justify the unjustifiable...

I think the people have become tired. They were BERATED for DECADES about gay-this and gay-that, and they finally figured that if we give them what they wanted, marriage, in this case, they would go away. Of course they don’t...they now smell blood.

No difference with civil rights - hand over the big money for welfare after the big riots, and race problems go away like magic.

It’s hard to keep fighting, when an enemy WILL NOT quit. We make fun of the French in WW2...and their losses were small, since they folded almost immediately - but look at their losses in WW1. They were still trying to recover from that war, they had had enough.
