No, in reality.Since you and your fellow leftists have no authority over me, I'm not.how are YOU being punished?
But you want to.
Only in your broken brain
Prove it! You have a log tenure here. Yet in none of your arguments have you used a credible unbiased source which presents facts.FJO,
I don't give a rats ass about the typos and my shitty spelling.
I'm much more concerned with the facts.
The real question is why do you care so little for facts?
You are the one who always quotes the Democrats political rhetoric and not facts.
Political Rhetoric-speech or discourse that pretends to significance but lacks true meaning, all the politician says is mere rhetoric.
People here put up actual facts and you treat it like it's rhetoric.
Go and actually get facts right from the source. Not lefty news and blogs, who are talking rhetoric.
There is a big difference between political talk and actual facts.
There is also a big difference what you do. You try to make a point about something and then you don't include the whole thing. You drop parts that don't fit you ideology.
You are the one who denies science , history, studies and court documented evidence.
No, in reality.Since you and your fellow leftists have no authority over me, I'm not.

Leftists have called for climate change deniers to be rounded up and executed.

The left has been saying these things for a long time. When will they start DOING it? Otherwise they are just like the rest of the dopers sitting in a basement dreaming of the grand revolution.
so you think court documented evidence is from blogs?

it's all become a YAWN
I guess this guy is a 'progressive' too, huh Monica?
Alan Simpson Slams Fellow Republicans For Unwillingness To Compromise
Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) lashed out at members of his party on Sunday, slamming them for their unwillingness to compromise on proposed tax increases.
In his characteristically colorful style, Simpson told CNN's Fareed Zakaria that Republicans' rigid opposition to new tax revenues has hampered productivity and diminished the chances of reaching an agreement with Democrats on debt reduction.
"You cant cut spending your way out of this hole," Simpson, who was appointed as co-chair of President Obama's Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform in 2010, said. "You cant grow your way out of this hole, and you cant tax your way out of this hole. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, we tell these people. This is madness."
Simpson continued: "If you want to be a purist, go somewhere on a mountaintop and praise the east or something. But if you want to be in politics, you learn to compromise. And you learn to compromise on the issue without compromising yourself. Show me a guy who wont compromise and Ill show you a guy with rock for brains."
The former senator, along with debt commission co-chair Erskine Bowles, developed a plan in 2010 for bringing down the top tax rate and lowering the deficit by repealing a number of tax cuts and credits. The initial plan, commonly known as Simpson-Bowles, was mostly ignored by lawmakers. A bipartisan budget modeled after their report was rejected by the House earlier this year.
During the interview Sunday, he expressed frustration with his party's focus on social issues, as well as the ability of outspoken figures like Americans for Tax Reform head Grover Norquist to drive the conversation.
"I guess I'm known as a RINO now, which means a Republican in name only, because, I guess, of social views, perhaps, or common sense would be another one, which seems to escape members of our party," Simpson said. "For heavens sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, hell defeat you. He cant murder you. He cant burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when were in extremity, you shouldnt even be in Congress."
Alan Simpson? Another friggin RINO that should have caucused with the democrats.

Ah, the typical right wing response. If a moderate conservative doesn't parrot the right wing propaganda Norquist and Frank Luntz script for Republicans, they are RINO's, or in the case of former Reagan adviser Bruce Bartlett and former GW Bush speechwriter David Frum, they are FIRED by right wing think tanks that don't ALLOW any opinion not blessed by your handlers.
David Frum and the Closing of the Conservative Mind
by Bruce Bartlett
As some readers of this blog may know, I was fired by a right wing think tank called the National Center for Policy Analysis in 2005 for writing a book critical of George W. Bush's policies, especially his support for Medicare Part D. In the years since, I have lost a great many friends and been shunned by conservative society in Washington, DC.
Now the same thing has happened to David Frum, who has been fired by the American Enterprise Institute. I don't know all the details, but I presume that his Waterloo post on Sunday condemning Republicans for failing to work with Democrats on healthcare reform was the final straw.
Since, he is no longer affiliated with AEI, I feel free to say publicly something he told me in private a few months ago. He asked if I had noticed any comments by AEI "scholars" on the subject of health care reform. I said no and he said that was because they had been ordered not to speak to the media because they agreed with too much of what Obama was trying to do.
It saddened me to hear this. I have always hoped that my experience was unique. But now I see that I was just the first to suffer from a closing of the conservative mind. Rigid conformity is being enforced, no dissent is allowed, and the conservative brain will slowly shrivel into dementia if it hasn't already.
Sadly, there is no place for David and me to go. The donor community is only interested in financing organizations that parrot the party line, such as the one recently established by McCain economic adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin.
I will have more to say on this topic later. But I wanted to say that this is a black day for what passes for a conservative movement, scholarship, and the once-respected AEI.

Hey dumbshit, show me the democrats willingness to compromise. They rammed legislation throught that people didnt want with every procedure known to man. And I still have never seen a republican leave a state to avoid a vote.........Democrats hate democracy, especially when they lose
I doubt it, it's from a L.A. newspaper.
Look for the actual source.

The GOPs war on Americans has been going on for some time, but it started in earnest in January 2011 when Republicans assumed control of the House of Representatives and several state legislatures. First it must be emphasized that in recent memory there are no instances of Republicans passing any legislation that helps the American people, but they have worked tirelessly to help the wealthiest one percent. It is expected that during a normal campaign season, candidates and political parties would promote their agendas by stressing what they will do for the people, but Republicans have abandoned any pretext of helping Americans and are blatantly campaigning on enriching the wealthy and corporations.
Shortly after taking their oath of office, Republicans immediately singled out women for their initial assault, and then set out to increase hunger and poverty with vicious spending cuts affecting the poor, children, and elderly Americans. They used the deficit, budget, and religion to garner support for their assaults and have been unrelenting in pushing austerity measures on the 99%, and they found willing advocates among racists, teabaggers, and religious fanatics. The tragedy the GOPs supporters will never comprehend until it is too late is that they will suffer as much as the poor people, minorities, and women they hate.
In both versions of Paul Ryans Path to Prosperity budget, the level of cuts to social safety nets is only matched in severity by the plan to privatize Medicare that not only decimates the elderly, but restricts uninsured Americans from receiving health care.
