It's all a house of cards, if they answer that question then the whole thing comes crashing down. Star doesn't argue, he bullies and then spews hate. It's just who he is and the belief structure he has adopted, which cannot be challenged else it will collapse and he will have nothing. It's not that they won't answer, it is that they cannot answer for it would cast aside the dreamworld in which they reside. I've stopped reading their posts altogether because there just isn't anything to learn from their writings, no intellectual benefit.

I have answered the bloody question 100 times.
But for the extremely hard of comprehension - here it is again.

A social welfare organization has no "political enemies"

The fact that they have them, and have declared that their "donor list is handed over to their political enemies" means they are not social welfare.

Simple.

Cool.

The red states do not want ANYTHING from the federal government. Period. gubbmint intrusion gonna take away har guns n' bibles doncha' know.

Oklahoma Republicans say NO to disaster relief and ask for a smaller government.

.......Oh wait, that was NO to disaster relief for hurricane Sandy affecting the east coast. Those people didn't deserve it.

I'm sure we will hear a different tune now.

And it's not just disaster relief. The richest nation in the world has an appalling record on helping/treating the poor, the sick, the elderly, the homeless, the mentally ill, children -- the least-powerful of our society. We can't afford social programs but we can always afford WMD. We can't afford to provide single-payer but every goddammed congressperson and their families sure as hell has full coverage.

The 1% condemn everything: unemployment benefits, taxes for the wealthy (little people, taxes are OK), food stamps, housing assistance, equal and fair access to health care that won't bankrupt people, and the list just goes on and on.

Of course, the wealthy are also the ones responsible for much of the unemployment in this country, due to the Wall Street scandal (the scandal that hasn't really been a scandal so far), they are also responsible for people not having access to affordable health care, because they own the health care providers and they charge $15 for one aspirin tablet because the CEO has to make $24 million plus every year.

They own all the big corporations, and they work together to fix prices so there's really no competition to keep prices low. They pool their money and buy Congress, to make sure nothing changes for them. Everyone else, tough.

They commit crimes and don't get prosecuted, much less investigated. They destroy the environment, and if the little people create a stink about it, they pay a pittance as their penalty--what the hell, they'll just raise prices on everyone and make up the loss. Meanwhile, they continue to rape the environment hoping no one will notice, but they know if someone does it won't be much of a set back for them.

Why do you argue from such childish positions?

Vote for Elizabeth Warren. She's the only one who can fix the 16 years of crap.

Cool.
Srinath.

Right you do that. We have however been picking the best of 2 Idiots for a long time.

Its very glib to vote for someone, and turn around and complain about him and advocate to vote for the next one from that same party. I see that all the time - on radio as well as here.

Cool.
Srinath.
