David Axelrod noticed it was tax day.
What a crime! LOL


In obvious allusion to the Boston Marathon bombing. You have problems parsing contexts, that would explain much....

I am willling to bet you also mentioned it in conversation on that day.


I did. But that was in the morning when my wife and I were going over the last bit of tax work for the business.

every talking head speculated on every possible motivation for the bombings


And some expressed hope for a certain type which brings us back to the OP. You missed...again.

Not some. One. You didn't even have the honesty to phrase your headline as "One Liberal's Hopes Dashed."

But why should anyone be surprised. It's your MO on every political post.

Animal Liberation Front

Earth Liberation Front

Sea Shepard Conservation Society (nice name, no?). Really an international high seas criminal gang grounded in anti-human environmentalist ideology.

Black Liberation Army

Symbionese Liberation Army

May 19th Communist Organization (M19CO)

Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM)

The Black Panthers (a glorified, politicized street gang, but with ties to RAM and the Republic of New Africa RNA).

The United Freedom Front

Macheteros etc.

And, one might well consider the government of Cuba, from the early 60s through the 80s, as a major sponsor and supporter of anti-American terrorism (and drug dealing), a single, gigantic terror group.

A goodly portion of French Resistance participants were Socialist. Boy, I bet they were embarrassed when they found out they were fighting on the wrong side!



And, as Hayek pointed out immediately after the war, socialists, Nazis, and fascists had little problem moving from each of these ideologies to the others as the winds of war and political intrigue blew. Good revolutionary socialists and committed fascists, with a bit of housekeeping, made great Nazis (as Hitler himself mentioned at one point).

I already dealt with this at length across several posts in at least two separate threads. You just lost yet another argument (in the midst of substantial name calling towards myself and bc, which appears to have formed the bulk of most of your responses on that topic).

Move along...

On the thread "The Problem with Black Folks", droopy said the following:

Blah, blah, blah and, if I may say so myself, blah.

The following is among the best explications of the relationship of early modern conservatism to the early civil rights movement I've found, and contains the nuance, required intellectual background, and intellectual honesty that Beastie et al refuse steadfastly to bring to the table of discussion.

The article that he admired, and said I would refuse to bring to the table of discussion, had, in fact, already been linked to and heavily cited by….beastie. Me. This is what I said about the article:

by the way, this linked article is excellent and as balanced as I've ever seen on the subject.

I then quoted half the article.

What does droopy hope to gain by refusing to admit his error?
Time to man up, Droopy.
