Our rightist troll buddy (EconProf) has come out.
Why don’t you ever complain about him?[/quote]
Pri: As a former Army officer, you should appreciate the value of good intel. The remark about the Leftist troll was related to a dust-up that FLU and I had with an idiot that kept banging on about the “500,000 green jobs” that WERE already in California. This was a complete lie and easily exposed, but this person kept insisting that it was fact and then started in with the ad hominem (yes, I did just use the word “idiot”, which might sound like ad hominem, except this person WAS an idiot).
So, as with everything in life, context is important.
As to your use of the word “rightist”, you do realize that you’re using that word incorrectly, right? A “Rightist” is a fascist (again, using context). Of course, you might think EconProf IS a fascist, but that’s between you guys.
Lastly, I’ve always been behind the idea of cutting the shit out of the Defense budget and have posted numerous times what a great idea that would be (along with cuts in entitlement spending, tax reform, bringing taxation in line with previous historical norms, i.e. approx 18% of GDP, etc).
Nice to see, however, that you’ve moved from the strawman to the false equivalence. That’s a good one, just ask Brian.
