I'll keep it simple and not form complex statements and stick to facts and not "truths".

Reaganomics are not capitalism.

Reaganomics are not more American than any other economic system.

Reaganomics are one of the reasons why this sh*t storm is happening right now on Wall Street.

Iraq was not involved in 9-11. If it was the Bush admin would be singing it from the rafters.

Iraq has nothing to do with "freedom."

Mixing Religion and Politics never works. It has never worked in the past and will never work in the present or future.

Fundamentalists of any stripe are dangerous.

Socialism is not communism. Socialist programs do not lead to complete socialism. Even if it did socialism and democracy mix quite well.

Most of you are not rich and never will be.

Those of you who are "rich" are not wealthy and never will be.

Those of you who are wealthy, you are not higher lifeforms than the rest of us.

Education is good for you. Listening to educated people is better than ignoring them. Being able to have an educated and civil discussion on how to resolve problems and following through with action is the best way to solve problems.

Nobody who matters cares what car you drive, what clothes you wear, and whether you have money or not.

Facts are not debatable.

Being born here doesn't make you a better person than someone who was not. What you do here or anywhere else can.

You are not magically "more American" or "in love with this country" more than the left.

In normal debate insulting the opposition and shouting at them doesn't make you the winner. It make you rude.

You cannot hate the government and expect it to protect you from any bogeymen you conceive of at the same time.

The military industrial complex is taking the same kind of money as they did during the cold war. We are no longer competing in an arms race.

Talking about caring about veterans and actually doing it are two different things.

Our military is neither good nor evil. It is an instrument. It can and has been used for both good and evil in the past.

Just because you call it a science doesn't mean that it is. There is a method behind science. If it doesn't fit the method it's not science.

Gays, Lesbians, and Transgendered people are not inherently bad (or good) people. They are people. They have feelings.

Furthermore, The fall of the USSR was due to a single party system that could not adapt. Sound familiar?

2. They can't hear you. Their ears only hear Rush, Hannity and Faux.
Your logic is wasted on the brownshirts.

Live long and prosper, anyway.
