Look, another Romneybot.

Relax, a similar message is being put automatically at the top of all kinds of threads.

Cheers!

My favorite.

"When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can’t help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup." - Thomas Sowell

That photo of the laughing clowns that goes with RomneyCare reminded me of Dr. Sowell's thought. Behold the worsening degeneracy in our politicians . . . .

[jazusamo]

Where have you been?

[jazusamo]

That’s a good one and I remember the part about the coup.

My personal favorite:

Since this is an era when many people are concerned about "fairness" and "social justice," what is your "fair share" of what someone else has worked for?

[Tzimisce]

He’s brilliant.

what people think is going to happen when a nation that already sponsors international terrorism has nuclear bombs to give to terrorists around the world.

I’m sure there is someone out there smarter than Dr. Sowell. I’ve just never heard of them ;)

Here is a math problem for you: Assume that the legislation establishing government control of medical care is passed and that it "brings down the cost of medical care." You pay $500 a year less for your medical care, but the new costs put on employers is passed on to consumers, so that you pay $300 a year more for groceries and $200 a year more for gasoline, while the new mandates put on insurance companies raise your premiums by $300 a year, how much money have you saved?

More importantly, how much more taxable money has the government put in circulation?

This Romney post is spam. Quit it.

Perhaps you should take it up with the owner of this site.

Thanks for the ping jaz.

[Tolik]

Thank you for the ping. Sowell’s “random thoughts” have more wisdom in each short paragraph than most complete articles out there.

Dr. Sowell is saying that the emperor is naked. Off with his head!

[sig226]

Dr. Williams could give him a run for his money, and possibly win, if only because Williams has a better sense of humor. :)

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

This Romney post is spam. Quit it.

Jim Robinson put it there.

Speaking as one who (see my tagline) does not favor Governor Romney, I will be glad when Jim decides to stop doing it. Bound to happen January, you would think - and maybe before, so that the fundraising tool will be effective.

But, rank has its privileges - so we'll just see what happens.

No one likes to admit having been played for a fool. So it will probably take a mushroom cloud over some American city before some Obama supporters wake up. Even so, the true believers among the survivors will probably say that this was all George Bush's fault.

He's nailed MSNBC with this one.

[Don Carlos]

I've wondered the same thing from time to time. Does that make me brilliant also?

Nah!
