Hatfield: Ah, I get it. Because Bush Co. was guilty of demagoguery, Obama can’t be. Wait, do I have that right? That’s your argument, then?
[/quote]
No, that actually wasn’t my argument. That’s *your* argument, a straw man one. Whatever. I’m not thrilled with everything Obama is doing either, but I also don’t see the world in the boolean black-vs-white you’re-either-with-us-or-you’re-against-us mindset that you seem to. So be it. We’re clearly never going to come to agreement.
Getting back to the original post (the discussion of the list), it seems like the author of that list is assuming a TSHTF scenario, why not just say so up front? Not much point in discussing real estate anymore, run for the hills!

Hatfield: Not a straw man argument whatsoever. You said, clearly, that Bush was a demagogue and the implication was that Obama, as a result, was not.
I also don’t see the world in black versus white or us versus them way, either. You are jumping to conclusions and obviously based on your belief that all conservatives are mindless, gibbering idiots and incapable of nuanced thought. That’s a beautiful example of the intellectual snobbery of the Left “intelligentsia” (using the word in the classic Soviet Russian way): Imputing value judgments onto others that are clearly incorrect and based on nothing other than ignorance (“AM radio”, right?).
Talk about the ultimate strawman. Nice piece of elision in terms of answering the Obama question, too. So, does he remain a moderate to you or is he something a little more extreme?
