With all due respect to "Lunarman":roll:, I don't buy his claims.

What money in the stock market?
 
Why is everything SHOCKING all of a sudden?

I'm shocked that you don't know. :shock:

I'd be shocked if Rush wasn't using this buzzword this week.

That or it has to do with cops tazering crying suspects. :mrgreen:
 
I said that Obama would fail as a "beacon of hope" like a year ago when this whole fiasco started. This is nothing new.
 
Was this a thread for serious political debate? I mean I am beginning to think it is not, as you can tell from the advertisement at the right of the "Right-Wing Underground blogspot" (which is using a liberal phrase for a conservative purpose)

look at the book they are selling! Amazon.com: Scam: The Liberal Misinformation Machine and its War on America: Robert Moon: Books

"Scam: The Liberal Misinformation Machine and its War on America (Paperback)"

the Liberals war on America?
It was a bunch of looney liberals who founded America....

Is aquapub Robert Moon? :shock:
 
My stocks are a long term investment. They will remain there untill I retire. Whatever I've got then is icing on the cake baby!

Oh, and about Obama. Yeah, ya think? Our country thrives on drama. If the presidents ratings are to reflect anything like the average americans opinions, it will change CONSTANTLY.

You're thinking of classic liberalism, which is probably the farthest thing from modern liberalism as you can get.

I think that modern liberalism continues the same spirit as classic liberalism. Just in some cases it goes too far. But answering the question I chose maybe, I don't make long-term financial decisions on market conditions in the short-term. We'll see where the market goes, most of my stocks have been performing alright but I have taken losses in media and made gains in clean energy.

I vehemently disagree.

Classic liberalism is a doctrine stressing individual freedom, free markets, and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, individual freedom from restraint, equality under the law, constitutional limitation of government, free markets, and a gold standard to place fiscal constraints on government.

Classical liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think you are confusing Liberalism with the Democratic Party agenda.

Then pray tell, kind sir, where are these mythical liberals you speak of? You know, the ones who are not Democrats and advocate free-market economics and limited government? I've searched thither and yon to find these noble beasts yet they elude me in my endeavors. Help me, wise sage!
 
I vehemently disagree.

I disagree as well (not to you, but the fella you're quoting).

American politics is all on the Classical Liberal scale. No body, for the most part, in America refutes natural freedoms and a proponent for an oppressive regime to protect us from... our neighbors (as Hobbes would suggest)

In America it is just a matter of when and where the Government can interfere.

The classical liberals you spoke of (The Founding Fathers) are the diametric opposites of modern day liberals. I would argue that if modern liberals are even on the scale of classic liberalism then they are in serious risk of falling off said scale.

They do exist, but it is how you define a liberal that makes you identify them. And they exist in both parties btw, but are rare.

I'm shocked that you are shocked.
I'm shocked that the OP is shocked.
I'm shocked that Rush Limbaugh is shocked.
I'm shocked that I just put my finger in a light socket.

This is all so shocking to me
 
Rasmussen Reports™: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Site.

Overall, 61% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 37% disapprove. The President’s overall approval rating has been remarkably steady since inauguration day, staying between 60% and 62% every day but three. Once it slipped a point below that range and twice it went a point above.

Which American's is Aquapub talking about?

The Founders have approximately nothing in common with the treasonous tyrants running the American left. They supported republicanism, liberty, the free market, states' rights...virtually everything modern American liberals oppose to the core. Nice try.

According to the Fed and the Congressional Budget Office (as linked in the article), there probably won't be anything there when you retire, now that we've opted to follow the route of Japan and FDR: needlessly prolong recession by trying to borrow, tax, and spend your way out of it.
