A little deduction and insight would go a long way.

YOUR words not mine

Your endless emoticons, not mine. I guess that's what you do when you have nothing to add.

You dont get it do you

I reply to you because you are funny

Keep it going

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Exactly, any misdirection from fact like gov data will do, right?

Will you be as trusting of the gov when (at some time) the party you do not support comes back to power?

I dont trust either of them

You gotta get that other blinder off too. One eye does not serve you well

the link to the 'full report' on Heritage is broken.

But al that is moot. If we stopped two wars and reduced military spending by 10-20%, we could eliminate the deficit in 'fuck-all' time. Yes that is a financial term "fuck-all time"

and we could afford universal single payer health care and all those better education programs that might actually make the USA a better country again.

Would that be gov data like your "Hoover killed 12 million" claim?

Don't think that gets you the trillion dollar reduction you're seeking. It's a good start.

I see, so if I post Moveon or the sorts you're gonna jump up and give it credence?

If I'm going to bother commenting in a thread, I'll at least give the article in the OP a once over. If I post links to anything its usually a news article for the purpose of calling attention to an event to discuss it.

I realize your side is so hammered by gov data that now you're regrouping to jump all over your parent repository of false info. I've proven enough false with the likes of the garbage sites you mention that it's not worth going back. However, if you or yours has the ability to put together an arg of your own, I welcome it. You can even plagiarize the rags to which you adore, but I'm not gonna start addressing any extremist fringe rags.

I don't data mine as a past time, and I don't claim any of my opinions are rooted in such an activity. What I do here, as a past time, is point out glaring oversights in people's arguments and conclusions. The more elaborate the argument and the more cocksure the conclusion, the more satisfaction I derive from asking the person to consider important factors I think they omitted, accidentally or otherwise.

The right wing folks kinda phone it in on these boards, you know that. And when I point out the "left wing" areas of concern that do need consideration they usually don't argue with me about it. But the left wing folks, holy cow, they got viewgraphs and spreadsheets and they're ready to take that shit to the boardroom.

So try not to worry so much about what "my side" is, as you may find the indicators you're going on are an artifact of which arguments need more tempering.
