[abbeyco]

Now that this little gem has been unearthed, it needs to get out into the mainstream media and expose these shutdown assholes for the craven power-hungry thugs they truly are.

1. Meese?? MEESE?

Is that fascist prick still alive?
Just another little part of the layers of the onion.. BUT-very useful ammo....

[Mnemosyne]

3. I know, really? Meese?! Excuse me, have to go puke now. nt

5. Wingnut welfare for the true believers.

They need something to do in their forced retirement, might as well screw up the country for fun and profit.

But yeah, MEESE? I thought that guy shuffled off the mortal coil some time ago...maybe I was thinking of Mitchell.

8. 1980 was when I first really started to become aware of 'politics.'

at the ripe old age of 36.
Even though I was a modest Vietnam war protester, gave my college students A's to help keep them out of the draft for a few years, went to JFK's funeral and was in Memphis when MLK was killed.
The election of that nitwit from California really woke me up.

9. I was in Britain in the fall of 1980,

during my hitchhiking-with-a-backpack phase. People I met, mostly other students, questioned me closely about Reagan's character and qualifications. I remember telling them that no one I knew took him seriously and he would be as good a President as he was an actor.

I was right about the latter, and a stupid fool about the former.

10. Actually, I think you were right about the former.

He sucked as an actor and he sucked even worse as a president.

[truebluegreen]

11. True. But I think I was a fool not to take him seriously,

given the damage he could, and did, do.

2. take-no-prisoners legislative strategy sounds like terrorism to me.

4. I said it on the other thread, this sounds like shock doctrine tactics

are being studied and applied in a long term strategy.



I'll K&R your thread too. More people need to read this.

6. A reminder to me to read Freedom Works more often

Always good to know what they are up to
and they seem comfotable with putting the plant into print on their site for all to read.

7. "Obamacare is an unprecedented attack on life and religious liberty. "

WTF?!?!?!

[Jim Warren]

12. Echoing one of the comments

So, there is no vast right wing conspiracy.....

13. Actually for years..
