***Rick must have missed the immigration and CAFTA threads.****

Na, he saw them, but in his infinite wisdom he was able to figure out that the dissension expressed was a Red Herring orchestrated by Karl Rove to make any trolling RAT THINK we're not all in lock-step.

That's a burn:

Paul Krugman is a vivid illustration of what happens to individuals who have a first-rate ego but a third-rate mind.

"Building a New Idea Infrastructure for Progressives."

By progressives is meant, those in favor of progressively less liberty, progressively more government control, progressively fewer political parties, progressively less national sovereignty...

"Pravda" has to be one of the most inaptly named publications since the debut of Hillary's Fashion Tips.

There is a website that thousands of committed Republicans spend hours on, giving and receiving marching orders.

My orders! Where are my orders? Must have missed the memo today.

...not Republicans, genius, it's "conservatives."

Republicans want you to work for the AMERICAN DREAM,

Democrats want to SELL IT TO YOU

Beautiful. One to remember. Would make a terrific bumper-sticker!

They'll be drawing on the capital from Medicare 35 years from now. Congressional Democrats won't let them kill it. Because they understand: These programs make life in America fundamentally better.

Fascinating look into the liberal mind. They make life better in the sense that an addictive narcotic gives physically pleasurable sensations right up to the moment it kills you. Medicare will either be dramatically reduced, taxes will be dramatically raised, or our government will default.

Democratic congressmen can do that, for example, by making a credible collective pledge that if you vote Democrat enough you will never pay another medical bill as long as you live.

Mr. Perlstein says this as if he expects medical care to suddenly become free. Someone has to pay the bill. What Mr. Perlstein really means is that the bill will be paid by someone else, someone that is not voting Democrat. That's his hope anyway.

According to Stanley Greenberg's polls, only 30 percent of Americans call high taxes a very serious problem.

He ought to ask the question a different way: "Do you favor a tax increase?" See if that number changes any.

OK. Marching orders, in code of course: Eat your Cheerios. I repeat, eat your Cheerios. Don't eat Fruitloops. Repeat: don't eat Fruitloops.

Look, I was supposed to give you these orders a few weeks ago. You were supposed to be "in", having survived this many years, and well, I was chewed out by the higher-ups for being negligent.

"Democratic congressmen can do that, for example, by making a credible collective pledge that if you vote Democrat enough you will never pay another medical bill as long as you live. You really think people wouldn't stop voting Republican then?"

The leftists of other countries are browbeating the US left for being 'behind' on socialized medicine.

He's dead wrong that we fear government because we "really knw" it's the answer. The truth is we fear oppressive intrusion and crushing confiscation of wealth for redistribution to those who neither deserve it nor need it.

We also fear redistribution to the most vulnerable among us for purposes of making them financially dependent on democrats.

You're right -- great list:

In modern America almost every problem is one created by liberal ideas. Think about it, the health care "crisis" is really only a crisis because the government has so hampered market forces from acting on health costs. Allow insurers and providers to innovate and simplify and prices will drop.

Social security is simply a program almost totally devoid of any economic sense. Invest money for a lifetime to recieve little or no interest? Yeah, good idea.

The education "crisis" is created by a de facto government monopoly on control of schools. Regulating class size, paying teachers by seniority not skill and attracting the very worst college students to study teaching all exacerbate the problem.

The last thing the country needs is more liberal "ideas".

If you thought health care was expensive now, just wait until it's "free."
