    If you're going to characterize Progressives as either spacey, head-in-the-clouds, rich kids, or black welfare queens, then don't be surprized when someone else says Conservatives are either Fortune 500 CEOs or twelve toed rednecks. BTW, Libertarian is not opposed to Progressive. Conservative is the word you're looking for. Libertarians, IMO, believe in the social freedoms espoused by Progressives, and the fiscal freedoms espoused by Conservatives. - Dan G

    Clearly. There's no need for you to explain why. Please note dripping sarcasm. BTW, people opposed to your 'tribe' said the same thing about Bush (both of them). - Dan G

    was your example. That's really not what happened, and your link shows you to be wrong. All the quotes from Democrats, including the White House, say that they intend to fight for unemployment benefit extensions. They just say that they'll delay that fight until after the budget deal. They didn't promise to not ask for unemployment extension as you claim. - Dan G

    I agree, politicians can't be trusted to follow through on promises that have a term longer than 30 seconds. I'm just trying to point out that the Republicans are just as resistant to compromise as the Democrats. - Dan G

    Which debt ceiling agreement are you talking about? The one that ended the government shutdown didn't have anything to do with unemployment insurance. Are you talking about an earlier deal? - Dan G

    Sales of trucks are tied closely to the housing and construction industries. Now that those industries are picking up again, truck sales will rise, too. Not sure what that has to do with the Chevy Volt. - Dan G

    I don't recall that being the deal. - Dan G

    That was 20 years ago. They certainly aren't willing to compromise on budget issues (especialy revenue) today. - Dan G

    That wasn't left or right, it was just Kallend being rude. - Dan G

    What is the GOP willing to compromise on? One example will do. - Dan G

    Get a dictionary. (Weak troll, BTW, you can do better) - Dan G

    This was your claim. That is not backed up at all by your links. They do not address the relative effects of human vs volcanic activity, and the only eruptions that had a measurable effect on climate were the largest, most devastating eruptions in Earth's history. Learn to read, indeed. - Dan G

    Which part? - Dan G
  14. DanG
    No, it's not true, and since neither one of your links even addressed your claim, you'll have to do better. - Dan G

    Suppose all you want, just know you'd be wrong. It's very fashionable to criticize the military industrial complex, but apparently it's okay to keep using coal for the sole reason that it supports jobs. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy. - Dan G

    There are more rural white people on welfare than urban black people. Guess who tends to vote Republican? And drug use is just as prevalent between the two groups. Oh, I almost forgot, IMO. - Dan G

    Nice sound bite. No true, but nice sound bite. - Dan G

    So instead of the military-industrial complex, we have the coal-industrial complex. - Dan G

    Fact, or assumption? And please don't cite yourself as a source. - Dan G

    Really, you think trees inhale oxygen and exhale CO2? - Dan G
  21. DanG
    I guess the answer to my question is yes, yes it would kill you to read something that doesn't echo your usual sources of "news". - Dan G
  22. DanG
    Would it kill you to read the article that you obviously disdain? - Dan G
  23. DanG
    Is that an inside joke? I don't think you're the type that believes trees exhale CO2. - Dan G

    If by "ripped to shreds" you mean the Washington Times article cited above, I think you're mistaken. Perhaps you should violate your long standing policy of only reading headlines, and read both articles. One is filled with interviews of people on the ground. The other has commentary from Republican lawmakers and conservative policy wonks. And the Hillary angle appears to have been totally made up by the right to distract from the NYT article. She is never mentioned in the NYT article, nor does the article talk about apparent refusals of extra security by the DOS. The NYT article is about who perpetrated the attacks and the complex situation in Benghazi prior to the attacks and since. If they're trying to provide cover for Hillary, they did a poor job. - Dan G

    I don't need it for anything. This thread was supposed to be about what happened in Benghazi. Maybe I'm confused. Maybe it was just supposed to be posts of articles from Fox, Brietbart, Newsmax, and other echo chamber sites. If that's the case, I apologize for interrupting your circle jerk with information. - Dan G
