Your elliptical political style speaks volumes for the general state of confusion...

My political style is comparable to fitness machine?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_trainer
Despite some disagreements, I always respected your opinion and felt we agreed more than we disagreed. I'm really surprised at the attacks. I'd expect that from Cog, Plantagenet, or Pretorian, but from you?
I'm sorry that I'm not easily classified, but that's me. I agree with somethings and disagree with others.
My politics was also formed by a lot of the Punk music I would listen to, In response to your insult of "tosser" please accept "Wankers" by The Exploited as my response:

When the banksters want something, our policymakers move with the speed of Mercury and the determination of Ares. It’s only when the rest of us need something that there is paralysis.
How free are we today with the dominance of globalist capital and militarized security apparatus?

Generally, I consider much of what emerges from capitalism, generally decadent, including the cynicism and relativism. In addition, the issues as regards Obama are very clear. Whether a half wit is offended by his blackness or Kenyanness is not the issue. Obama represents all that is fundamentally flawed concernd with capitalism including a tendency to live in a world of make believe. His skewed economic policies and his pathetic attempts at trying to remedy the climate ills of capitalism are the issues, the ones we are wiser to concentrate on..the marginal issues hysterically attacked by the stupid should be of little concern to the politically serious. The working class are by and large concerned with bread and butter concerns and that is where the focus should be.
I variously listen to all genres of rock music including punk having been raised in the UK. Pleasant to listen to but not, IMHO, somewhere to formulate my political views. The music industry like the rest of capitalist social culture and much of the social culture in general, tends to warble on about certain isues with little action to be seen.
It is up to us to bring this systems flaws out and then deal with them. Trendy musicians, well turned out movie stars etc, etc, belong, in my world anyways, in the moments when I, like anyone else, indulge in a bit of self indulgent leisure. I just don't take them serious.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('americandream', 'W')hether a half wit is offended by his blackness or Kenyanness is not the issue.
Unfortunately it is an in America.
But the point of the joke is really not so much that he is black, you could almost understand that, the irony of the joke is that the republican party in total decided that it would simply oppose any action Obama and the Democrats take regardless of their prior support or the effect on the country - because the best way for them to "win" the next election was for Obama to fail on all counts. His being black just helped them with a certain segment of their constituency.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')the author's book] reveals some of my reporting on the Republican plot to obstruct President Obama before he even took office, including secret meetings led by House GOP whip Eric Cantor (in December 2008) and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (in early January 2009) in which they laid out their daring (though cynical and political) no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to a popular President-elect during an economic emergency. “If he was for it,” former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, “we had to be against it.”
...
“It was stunning that we’d set this up and, before hearing from the President, they’d say they were going to oppose this,” Axelrod says. “Our feeling was, we were dealing with a potential disaster of epic proportions that demanded cooperation. If anything was a signal of what the next two years would be like, it was that.”

Did I mention that Eric Cantor was defeated in the primary nomination election last night by a guy who says Cantor was not conservative enough?
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Not "conservative" they are neoconfederate. Many of them want to blow up the world economy as revenge for losing the Civil War. That district should have been safe for Cantors entire career, but the base is demanding the end of the world.
