Obama is a moderate…. That’s quite an interesting horse shoe you have.  

Policy wise Obama wasn't that much different than W, in spite of all the "hope and change" rhetoric.

I agree. Which is why there’s anti trust. There are “bugs” in capitalism . The challenge is if you…  “fetter” too much - you start breaking way  way way more than you fix.  Conservatives are ultimately survival of the fittest oriented and  liberals are about “fair” and subtle redistribution of wealth.  Which is why I’m a moderate and believe both sides have a point but run too far in either direction. Ps The paradox of liberals is that they  love watching documentaries about the Serengeti and nature until they see the first gazelle being eaten. 😇

Well I agree with everything except the last sentence where you show us you aren’t actually a moderate lmao. 

what a weird thing to say after having a rational coherent response. You know I don’t care when you say silly stuff like that. I’m not like the others who get all worked up by that stuff. Next time just save yourself the ps to me and send it to someone else lol.

I’m going to guess you’re going to use their common approach to bailing about the fin institutions - which was much more driven by the Feds insistence. Maybe the second thing was they both had the same favorite color?

Okay so I see all the progress we made in actual constructive discourse yesterday has evaporated.
Yes, Obama is a moderate centrist just slightly to the left of center on the political scale.

Hard to tell when it wasn’t even a joke. It just an insult, that you said “hah just playing” after.

Emoji’s often mean don’t take literal.

Progress doesn’t mean agreeing. We don’t. Which is fine. This isn’t a contact sport and you have a well thought out pov. If you didn’t I wouldn’t bother.

Obama and Bush were both big on free trade and both pretty hawkish foreign policy wise.

I think they had different motives but I see your point. What wildly separates  them to me is the role of the fed gov.  Whats ironic today is that dems are.more hawkish than most gop’ers - hurts my head.  Further ironic It’s one thing the extreme left and right share -  isolationism.

I know it's completely superficial, but most of what has kept Christie from advancing nationally in the GOP is being obese.  If he were even somewhat trimmed down, it would be a totally different story.

Correct. The GOP prefers a svelte Trump.

Asking for a cite in support for a claim someone is making isn’t a trick. Standard practice in academic and legal research. For that matter, it’s standard in any writing based research course at Auburn.

If it was established common knowledge it would only take you thirty seconds to google it, find a source/cite, copy then paste it in a reply. 

When you've observed a certain individuals' behavior patterns long enough, it's easy to recognize his trick. The guy thinks if he can't win he can at least get pleasure from running you around for a few minutes. That's his game and it's easy to see if you just look for it.

Linking the Monroe Doctrine to America being at fault for Hitler's rise is quite the leap. Sell that somewhere else, I'm not buying.

The Monroe doctrine started the US’s foreign policy of American non-interventionism. Part of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany was allowed by inaction by the winning countries of world war 1.

I never claimed the rise of Hitler was solely America’s fault the only thing I would claim was that our foreign policy of non-interventionism played a part in allowing a power vacuum to arise in post-war Germany. Someone else might have though.

I never said America was at fault for Hitler's rise, I even said I wasn't claiming that in the message you cite on page 10, Saturday, 2:08 PM.

Keep trying, my dear boy!

If this thread goes on another week America will be responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire. Week after that  - earth quakes.

Mikey I love your Tony Soprano energy, man, you just straight Tony Soprano every interaction I have ever seen you have on the entire forums. frankly kudos, your persistence and stubbornness even outlasts my flagellant self. Like I am not even taking the piss, to have that kind of response to a reply that quotes the message you cite is just pure Tony Soprano, double down Tony. I don't like you but I respect the energy.

Damn, what a weird compliment.

You know some weird people in East Texas but butter in the salsa in Mexican restaurants? It’s such a phenomenon that all the Mexican restaurants provide bottles with squeeze butter on the tables.
