LOL !!
First I'm pretty sure he is a "she". Anyone with a room temperature IQ should be able to figure that one out.
Note Addagio's efforts to do just about anything and everything to avoid discussing specific data and when challenged simply maxes out the post character count and just repeats the innane and superficial barely coherent rhetoric that was in the last post she was responsible for.
Look I realize that empty fillibusters and generic plattitudes impress you, but it doesn't equate to someone' ass getting handed to them. It actually means theyv'e admitted their failure at debating on the merits of their argument and have moved on to nonsensical rhetoric.
Since Addagio's too scared to address my challenge of rebutting my earlier sub-prime post, maybe you would like to take a shot at it.

Ooops wrong again. :doh Better check your temperature.

I think I told you more times than I can remember...I don't engage in a war of talking points. I can think for myself. Can you? Of course you can. It will make all your posts stronger.And I'd suggest you correct your gender error unless you want to risk an infraction of the rules. We wouldn't want that now, would we?

Whip can think for himself. And he's not easily impressed. I have issues with the entire idea of conservatism, and that's what I post about, not a host of talking points over every minute issue that I personally don't have the time or interest to wade through. My interest in economics stems from the author of the economic idea, and whether it strikes me as both rational and logical. I look at who's interests are served, and who's are impacted negatively. If I'm to examine the conservative approach then I look to where it originates and Hayek is usually the source today. So I go to him to get his thoughts. Not Paul Ryan or Ayn Rand. If I am to examine conservatism then I go to the source of where the movement began which is Russell Kirk in 1953. But I find that Kirk is really warmed over Edmund Burke, so I study Burke. And he was an Aristocrat member of Parliament back in the days of the Revolution. He was the leading Anti-enlightenment voice. This country was founded on the Enlightenment principles of Locke, Voltair, Rouseau, Paine, and of course Jefferson. I look at the history of conservatism dating to the revolution, through slavery and the Civil War, through Jim Crow and Segregation, and the entire history of the American South. I see very little change in attitude among them. So...I look at every proposal from a conservative through that lense. One thing they never do, is change their values. Those are constant, and very deeply rooted. And their economic proposals, and their social ideas are in my view primitive. So...talking points mean nothing to me. I'd suggest you find another playmate if that's where you want to go.
