I watch him try to move about and walk. He is obviously hving a great deal of difficulty with his back ( broken in a airplane accident decades ago) He seems unable to be clear in his attempts to put things into words. Maybe he takes some sort of meds for pain?
LOL! Howie's da man!
These aren't values you murdering dink. Maybe he needs to look up the definition of values.
watching him slobbering all over Teddy was the worst.
Watching Chris slobber and spit is bad ANYTIME.
Agreed. Not a pretty picture ever!
Teddy has always been full of crap, and the onset of alcoholic dementia is only making his condition worse.
Without looking further than the #36 reply and the excerpt I am jumping in.
Ted Kennedy, publicly at least, still preaches redistribution of income and class struggle. Guns and abortion appear to be key issues for him. He is a 20th century liberal. Like Gephardt he appears to be against outsourcing offshore. Big Deal. I believe Gephardt supports amnesty for millions and millions of ILLEGAL immigrants (new union members). We know how Kennedy feeeeeeeeeels about immigration.
"The Clinton 'third way' that the party embraces focuses on economic growth with shared benefits more than redistribution of income; emphasizes the working and middle class more than the poor; internationalism with a respect for the military; and while liberal on social issues -- like guns and abortion -- relegates those issues to the second tier."
Reprinted on new Democrat On Line, ndol.org. Originally from the Wall Street Journal, July 22, 2004 "They Are All Clinton Democrats," by Albert R. Hunt.
The "moderate" DLC New Democrat Third Way progressives are globalists and I believe they have a stronger hold on the Party -- or what's left of the Party.
The fat drunk may be against losing jobs to offshoring (as if he really was sober enough to care) but he does not speak for the "progressives."
Nope, haven't watched him in a couple years though. But...I can just see it if a woman were in his position and spitting all ove the place.
So, in cutting to the chase, do you, in fact, see that "globalization" [understand that by this I'm referring to free(r) trade] leads to domestic economic growth or are you not ready to admit to it yet?
One thing I'll have to give you credit for, William, is at least you showed up on this thread and offered some input for the protectionist's side.
It will be interesting to see if anyone else that I pinged is willing to "sack up" on this thread...because so far it's one that's being avoided by the usual suspects.
I know, and then they leave me with the links to all of those Left-leaning websites to show me just how Marxist I am!
Crocodile tears from your inebriated and choleric friend, I see.
The RATs today are the premier enemies of pure R&D. If they see a dollar, they prefer to redistribute it into welfare and pork barrel spending.
And when R&D is done, more often than not nowadays, it is handicapped by Federal employment regulations...and there is no incentive for U.S. citizens to get to do it. They see what the domestic U.S. industrial technology job market is like. The economics are tilted against them in fact. The ubiquitous foreign graduate students appear to receive a disproportionate benefit from these monies.
And their affections for the U.S. is, at best, in most cases rather limited. They are ideal candidates for espionage conduits into our high technology and newest endeavors. Meanwhile, once they have ascertained how to do the new technology, many of them can simply hop on a plane back to wherever, and go into instant competition AGAINST US with the latest and greatest gee-whiz technology...using the education, and the R&D, that we primarily paid for...which was supposed to go to U.S. production....
My friend!? Huh, he's spouting your rhetoric pal...address that aspect please!!!
The RATs today are the premier enemies of pure R&D. If they see a dollar, they prefer to redistribute it into welfare and pork barrel spending.
Tell me about the welfare that you advocate, the welfare that puts up barriers to competition so that protected industries get lazy, innovate less, and take away consumer surplus that would ordinarily be there if the market were allowed to operate without the barriers.
You're were about as focused in your reply as Swimmer Ted was during his interview.
Is that what you think this is about?
You won't get an argument from me against free trade. It's great that advanced nations buy our stuff from our factories often located in their countries -- and without STEALING our intellectual property. It's great to get stuff from trading partners whose factories are often located here employing Americans.
My argument is with "free trade." "Free trade" transfers of technology, know-how, jobs, and wealth (FDI) to emerging nations. I.e., the transfer of our production, call 'em buggy whip jobs if you like but we're importing tens of billions of dollars of "buggy whips" from China and India.
I have stated numerous times, IMO the ever increasing international regulation of trade that now encourages "free trade" redistribution of wealth from advanced nations to developing nations is a Marxist revolution from the top down, read: Third Way. (Over the past several months I've offered additinoal information.)
Since I often refer to ndol.org let me, just in case, state that in no way would I suggest anyone here is a Marxist. My sources have always been offered as "foot notes."
I have attempted to source my opinion by citing the writings at ndol.org. There I find proof (IMO) leftist ideologues are very much behind and intend to direct globalization. They need the free market to create wealth worldwide. Then after that..?
How will mere corporate execs fight off the world's governments, international courts, et al. whose aims are to redistribute wealth, "raise everyone's boat," and create a paradise of peace and prosperity? Name one leftist puke who believes that the free market can do that alone without help from "intellectuals"?
