    I am sure you all have seen this site, but just in case you have not: http://www.conceptualguerilla.com/rightresponds.html They claim to give liberals tools to defeat any Republican in debate in three minutes or less. The funny part is they don't base anthing on reality but on twisting logic, circular reference falacies, incorrect stereotypes, and relational errors. Some examples: Do you remember that period in history known as the Great Depression. That was when the cheap labor conservatives -- in control of both ends of Pennsylvaania Avenue -- gave us 23% unemployment. Roosevelt -- a Democrat -- won the election of...

    We, and others, have labeled the Democrats as a bunch of socialists. Some are, of course. But, that "some" does not necessarily define the whole of the group. So, maybe we should reconsider. That is, maybe we should label them more by what they do, rather than just by what they say. Socialism, after all, implies outright nationalization of the means of production. Government would take ownership of all business. Sure, the Democrats have tried to have government take over segments of business from time to time, but never everything in the country. They have never even hinted at making...
