beats me- I’m more of a left of center but the lable has such a 60’s Summer of Love appeal 🙂
How do I tell, bxgrl?
So, mopar- then you’re not an uber-liberal-socialist ? 🙁
mopar- I’m not sure he was referring to you although he and i did have a discussion on AY yesterday. I may have misinterpreted his reference as being to you- but the AY was yesterday. A looooong, looooong time ago for my brain cells.
What? Mr. Joist, I’m totally lost. I don’t think I made a comment on any Atlantic Yards thread. Also, the thing about yuppies is a joke. In fact, it’s exactly what you were saying.
It’s ok, mopar. Getting called an uber-liberal-socialist by a right wing nutjob whose party lost the election big time is kind of an honor.
just like you to call us socialists. Bet you voted McCain/Palin. FYI- I’m not a big fan of anyone- unions included- being paid or overpaid and getting bloated benefits. Your problem is that, like most right wing sonservative types like to cry socialist with anyone who disagrees. I find it hypocritical that you are Pro-AY (how socialist of you to want to allow public subsidies for an arena and luxury apartments) and I’m the socialist? Not that I think being called a socialist is an insult. Now being called a Rush Limbaugh Republican- That’s an insult.
Perhaps if the Repubicans hadn’t of allowed so many of their cor[orate and wealthy friends so many tax cuts, and winked when they took business off shore to avoid taxes, there wouldn’t be a movement to tax them more now. However I have less of a problem with a 50,000/yr union worker getting health insurance, than a 3 million/yr CEO living it up, taking advantage of every tax cut and benefit while driving his company into the ground and then whining for a bailout. Think Halliburton and Dubai.
oh, how sweet, uber-liberal-socialist bonding! Mopar, are those in favor of limited government “yuppies”? Sorry, gotta’ go … My yuppie pal Ron Paul just called.
hahahah … I’d REALLY have something to worry about if I HADN’T been “rather overwhelmingly put down” by you and your socialist pal on the Atlantic Yards thread!
Anyway, this is why putting one party in absolute power never works. First we had the crazy right in control of the federal government and we got all that Bush-Cheney nonsense. Now we have the Democrats in control of our state government and we get ultra-liberal union-financed garbage about “taxing the rich downstate in New Yawk Sin City” so they don’t have to cut services statewide or look too closely at bloated union contracts. First it was a Millionaires’ Tax and suddenly it’s a tax on households making more than $250,000! Amazing!
It’s sad when the only way to have a centrist government is to have a stalemate (Republican Governor or President, Democratic congress, etc.). The parties just cant help themselves once the check/balance is gone … that is, until the next election.
