Liberalism. It is called by some a mental disease or disorder. To the rational, it seems so very obvious. This probably poorly written and I’ll bet somehow racist piece describes how liberalism always breaks an important law.
In this equally fine piece, that I’m sure can’t possibly be well written or lacking in racial undertones, the disease is further illustrated. In addition, it presents a book looking at liberalism from a psychological perspective. I’ve read exerpts of the book at Amazon and it is now on my suggested reading list, likely to be moved to the top.
But one has no great need for expert analysis to see what objectivity can present so easily. Liberalism, particularly as it is known and expressed today, will never result in anything good for our country, its people and their children, or the world.

“Wal*mart is one of those few companies that have managed to turn a profit while keeping their prices relatively low.”They’ve done it by drastically reducing their prices in order to put competitors out of business. Once that has happened their prices go back to normal. In the case of Hearne, Texas WalMart wiped out all competitors then got the hell out of Dodge leaving a once thriving town in shambles. It’s despicable and shameful what that company does for the almighty dollar.
Yes, Marty, I watched the viedeo you linked to. There is something from the video I can’t quite understand: One of the “victims” of WalMart was, according to the graphic, a Western Auto store owner.Western Auto is a full service auto parts store, meaning it sells everything related to auto repairs. Belts, hoses, tires,and other things WalMart also sells, but Western Auto also sells things that WalMart doesn’t sell. Expensive things like engines, transmissions, radiators, catalytic converters, mufflers, brakes, etc.How could WalMart drive that kind of store out of business? In fact, apparently WalMart didn’t drive Western Auto out of business. The guy was interviewed standing in his store.Obviously, the town of Hearne isn’t completely dead. People still live there, and apparently some businesses are still there. Two other interviewees were a former, probably disgruntled Walmart employee, and a reporter. Most reporters are Liberal and so have an agenda that leans heaviliy in favor of those who don’t like WalMart’s opposition to union labor.Former employees are usually former employees because either they or Walmart decided they should no longer be working there. I wonder which was the case here? And why?The attack on WalMart is severely slanted in this video.WalMart is usually good for other businesses. Competition is good for all businesses.I have worked for WalMart. I didn’t like working there for several different reasons, but I don’t have a problem with people who want to work and/or shop there. It is a matter, as I said, of choice. If you don’t like WalMart, don’t shop there. Don’t work there. Problem solved.
No time to watch Marty’s video just yet. I think she missed the part of my link that says WalMart was increasing health benefits. It’s helpful to remember that jobs like WalMart should never be viewed as careers so much as opportunities for those with no skills to get a start somewhere, opportunities for second jobs for those looking for extra money, opportunities for students who are studying hopefully for something better after graduation, opportunities for older people who haven’t planned their lives properly and still need work, etc, etc,. For those who want careers, there are indeed opportunities for that, but, to expect that all careers should garner one massive incomes is a bit naive.
“How could WalMart drive that kind of store out of business? In fact, apparently WalMart didn’t drive Western Auto out of business. The guy was interviewed standing in his store.”Well, since WalMart closed it’s store in 1990, Hearne has had time to somewhat recover. But I doubt it will ever be the town it was before WalMart arrived.Here’s a little history.”Most reporters are Liberal and so have an agenda that leans heaviliy in favor of those who don’t like WalMart’s opposition to union labor.”Union labor in Hearne??? LOLYou’d be really hard pressed to find a “liberal” in Hearne, Texas. You’d need to drive down the road a little ways to Austin to find those creatures and they ain’t swarmin’ around everywhere there.

Feodor,Why do you ask?

Feodor,Don’t be a dope. Unemployment compensation has been around for awhile. I’ve been contributing for the last thirty years or more. Thus, it’s my money to begin with. Nice try. No, wait a minute. That was a lame try.

Feodor,Did I tell you you’ve convinced me you’re an idiot? I was collecting unemployment before the bill was signed. But maybe you can try to tell me how I’ve dropped my principles in this matter. I’m sure your perspective will elicit both laughs and groans for it’s stupidity.

Fe-idiot,First of all, I won’t be on unemployment that long. Second of all, there was no surplus at the end of the Clinton admin. It was a mere accounting trick, but not a true surplus.

“You really don’t live in reality do you?”If I didn’t, I’d likely think like you.

If it makes you feel better to believe so. In the meantime, perhaps you can show an example of clear thinking from yourself. Thus far, all you’ve rendered amounts to passing gas.

I don’t care how you mislabel the table, just so long as you finally realize you must concede. That shows potential.

Who’s “we”? You and your imaginary friends? And BTW, do you intend to ever say something clever?

You’re not clever enough to know a clever post when it is presented. What’s more, that was a lame defense for your less than clever emissions.As I stated in the American Descent post, I’m not going to waste anymore time with your crap. If you wish to try and submit comments that are, at least for you, thoughtful and serious, you’re welcome to do so. Your snark is lame and far too easy to counter.

“Perhaps you unconsciously fear something else is happening (slipping away).”Perhaps it’s because you’re such a great straight man. Should that slip away, I’ll have to struggle on somehow. Please let me test myself in that manner. If not, I’ll just have to struggle with not taking the easy road and mocking your easily mockable barbs.
