You can always make a guest appearance at americaninsurancebroker.com and battle some liberals in the political forum. I visit there when I want to blow off some steam.
Funny you mention that. I made my last post there on Monday where I said I was tired of posting I make here being copied by R/M and posted there. I don't even have the link on my computer now.

No it's not - and the horse you road in on. (Actually, "the horse on which you road".)

All right, that did it. You can talk about YIO but leave my horse out of it! I don't let anybody talk about my horse, my goats or my wife -- in that order.
Outside right now fat boy!

Apparently I made someone mad at the other forum mentioned and I am not allowed to post there. Oh well, looks like I will have to vent here.
If you want a debate or fight with others...try the following subjects:
Universal Healthcare...right for America?
Abortion...for or against
Death Sentence...for or against
The War in Iraq...what to do?
Religion...what do you have faith in?
Politics in general
Is Obama the Antichrist and Oprah the whore of Babylon?
Let the games begin...

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." Ronald Reagan
People generally have strong views about Mr. Rick Bronstein. What follows is a call to action for those of us who care -- a large enough number to free people from the fetters of favoritism's poisonous embrace. We must work together to investigate his uneducated principles, ideals, and objectives. What can you do to help? For starters, you might want to put the kibosh on Rick's fibs. I personally derive great satisfaction in doing that sort of thing because Rick measures the value of a man by the amount of profit he can realize from him. But there is a further-reaching implication: If you read his writings while mentally out of focus, you may get the sense that he has the mandate of Heaven to besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures. But if you read Rick's writings while mentally in focus and weigh each point carefully, it's clear that I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner.
I want to talk about the big picture: Rick should start developing the parts of his brain that have been impaired by officialism. At least then he'll stop trying to destroy the heart and fabric of our nation. He must have known that his theatrics would cause high levels of outrage and would generate many letters in response (like this one). The best example of this, culled from many, would have to be the time he tried to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses. By now, the reader has discerned that there is reason to fear that what I call sordid barmpots will rescue classism from the rubbish heap of history, dust it off, slap on a coat of cheap sophistry, and market it as new and improved sooner than you think. So let me just add that if he can overawe and befuddle a sufficient number of prominent individuals then it will become virtually impossible for anyone to anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good.
Rick really shouldn't use scapegoating as a foil to draw anger away from more accurate targets. That's just common sense. Of course, the people who appreciate his opinions are those who eagerly root up common sense, prominently hold it out, and decry it as poison with astonishing alacrity.
Rick controls a secret underground empire. I challenge him to move from his broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. He has been trying to conceal his plans to violate the basic tenets of journalism and scholarship. Fortunately, the truth about his ribald slurs is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that there may be nothing we can do to prevent Rick from making good on his word to exert more and more control over other individuals. When we compare this disturbing conclusion to the comforting picture purveyed by his associates, we experience psychological stress or "cognitive dissonance". Our only recourse is to give peace a chance.
Let no one say that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions. No, this is pathetic, vitriolic separatism and must be regarded as an attempt to deprive individuals of the right to end Rick's control over the minds and souls of countless people. Contrary to the Rousseauian ideal of the transparency of the general will to itself, in order to solve the big problems with Rick we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must maintain social tranquillity. He sees all the evidence, but he is reluctant to accept the conclusion that he had previously claimed that he had no intention to undermine everyone's capacity to see, or change, the world as a whole. Of course, shortly thereafter, that's exactly what he did. Next, he denied that he would disparage and ridicule our traditional heroes and role models. We all know what happened then. Now, Rick would have us believe he'd never ever reap a harvest of death. Will he? Go figure. My view is that Rick has been doing "in-depth research" (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that quislingism is a noble goal. I should mention that I've been doing some research of my own. So far, I've "discovered" that if Rick is victorious in his quest to push all of us to the brink of insanity, then his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity.
Rick's cringers like to say, "Poststructuralism and obscurantism are identical concepts." Such frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. If someone wants me to believe something uncompromising like that, that person will have to show me some concrete evidence. Meanwhile, I intend to show you that Rick's criticisms are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. I can't follow Rick's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that I have always been an independent thinker. I'm not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that Rick's campaigns of malice and malignity are based on two fundamental errors. They assume that science is merely a tool invented by the current elite to maintain power and they promote the mistaken idea that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have.
Out of the vast number of devastating evils for which bestial half-wits are directly or indirectly responsible, I shall pick out only a single one which is most in keeping with the inner essence of Rick's blinkered bruta fulmina: oligarchism. In whatever form it takes -- magazines, music, propaganda, or any other form -- Rick's rhetoric is designed to crush any semblance of opposition to Rick's careless endeavors. We mustn't let Rick rely on the psychological effects of terror to magnify the localized effects of his suggestions so that, like a stone hurled into a pool of water, shock waves ripple from the epicenter of Rick's attacks to the furthest reaches of the Earth. That would be like letting the Mafia serve as a new national police force in Italy.
I recently informed Rick that his brethren make our lives a living hell. Rick said he'd "look further into the matter." Well, not too much further. After all, we must point out that the emperor has no clothes on. Those who claim otherwise do so only to justify their own sinister epigrams. I don't normally want to expose anyone to rigorous sarcasm, satire and disdain but he indubitably deserves it. It has been said that I would like to register my strong objection to Rick's sophistries. That makes sense to me. I believe it's true. But it unquestionably implies that one can usually be pretty sure when Rick's lying. Sometimes there's a little doubt: maybe it's not a deliberate lie but merely a difference of opinion. But when Rick claims that he is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong, there's no room for ambiguity: he's indisputably lying.
Rick's disciples are too lazy to acknowledge that this is no time to be subhuman and no time to be delirious. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that Rick wants to suppress controversy and debate. Personally, I don't want that. Personally, I prefer freedom. If you also prefer freedom then you should be working with me to reveal the truth about his precepts. Let me offer some free advice to his grunts: Stop laying waste to the environment!
If this letter did nothing else but serve as a beacon of truth, it would be worthy of reading by all right-thinking people. However, this letter's role is much greater than just to replace today's chaos and lack of vision with order and a supreme sense of purpose. Rick and his flunkies are deplorable storytellers. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. I don't know what makes him think that a richly evocative description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to that problem. Maybe he's been sipping cuckoo juice. The fact of the matter is that if Rick is going to talk about higher standards then he needs to live by those higher standards. Lastly, for those who read this letter, I hope you take it to heart and pass this message on to others
