the rest of us were learning valuable lessons from PBS broadcasts. No wonder they want to defund them.

1. Funny, yesterday there was a post about prying what we want out of rich people's hands.
   
I asked if that wasn't stealing and was informed it is "scavenging".

I think both sides think the other wants to "steal" from them. The left believes commerce steals from them and the right believes taxation steals from them.
   

That's right liberalism is all about stealing "toys" from the rich kid.

4. It's hard to find a non-flame response to such a twittish post.
   
Suppose you buy a hat at a store. The hat is infected with lice. You suffer as a result of the store's bad sanitation. And the store goes on, knowingly selling lice-ridden hats.

What should happen?

Should the government shut the store down? Conservatives say no. They decry "regulation," they condemn "government control," and they try to enact laws making sure government agencies can't protect people.

Should you be able to sue the store? Conservatives say no. They decry our "litigious society," and they try to enact laws making sure the courts can't punish bad companies.

What do conservatives think should happen? They think "the invisible hand of the free market" will solve the problem. They think, eventually, the store that knowingly sells harmful products will get a bad reputation and shut down.

This is a core principle of conservative economics. And it is such a ridiculous pile of crap. A roadside diner would be allowed to serve food that made people sick, and no one driving from coast to coast knows the reputation of roadside diners. The diseased diner would sicken people for decades.

All of this is to say, you've generalized an extreme, anti-left smear based on the words of one person on a message board -- word which were probably tongue-in-cheek -- and ignored the reality of what conservatism is. You've stated this ludicrous false equivalency. You think you've somehow refuted the OP's suggestion, but you haven't; you posted a non-sequitur. A non-sequitur grounded in deception -- self-deception and the deception of others.

This is a long and elaborate post, because anything more succinct would be a flame. Do the world a favor and read about economics before posting ridiculous attacks on the left.
   

Odds are a DUmmy is the source of the lice.

BoBo the HoBo shops there.

BoBo the HoBo shoplifts there.

FIFY

That's funny, the first post in response to dkf was deleted.  I thought he made a good point.  And it's not just "one" post that wants to pillage rich people.  It's a mountain of posts like that. 

...stealing toys from other children.  What a goofball.  When I was a kid, we shared toys because we were taught it was the decent and civilized thing to do.  Plus it's more fun that way.

What the DUmb****s fail to realize is a poem that was posted yesterday (I can't remember who wrote it, and my apologies) that went something like this:

Rich people
Can hire people
To kill people
Like DUmb****s

ETA:

Karin, my almost three-and-a-half year-old daughter knows how to share.  It starts with their environment.  Since we don't have any other kids, she learns it from daycare.

Um...  I watched PBS.  The people my age who didn't and instead watched channels like HBO and Cinemax ended up being the ones who shoplifted and grew up to be raging liberals.

[NHSparky]

I look at it this way--the Sesame Street franchise is currently worth BILLIONS.  That's right, BILLIONS with a "B".

They can't plow some of that money back into PBS so they aren't sucking off the government/our teat?

While conservatives just think that leftists are naive and wrong, to support their insane polices liberals have to think that conservatives are evil.

On a serious note, the communist democrats headed by Pelosi, Reid, and Obama have stolen SIX TRILLION DOLLARS worth of toys from the children of the USA in just the last four years.

OP=FAIL.

I don't recall Conservatives wanting to deregulate health services.

And to imply a store sells lice ridden hats is about the worst possible bunch of bullshit to use as an example as I can think of. Last I knew, department stores aren't inspected for anything but fire safety.

I don't think they give a damn about lice infested hats! If perhaps a one in a million instance actually happened, as soon as someone made a complaint, I'm pretty sure the management would take care of the problem post haste. If they didn't, that evil thing called competition would bankrupt them in a matter of days!

My daughter has never watched a minute of PBS.  Their line up is crap.  She learns more from Dora the Explorer and Team Umizoomi.  About the toy thing, my daughter has just as many toys today as she did when she was born.  Nobody is stealing her stuff.

Unfortunately, my daughter has seen a fair amount of PBS Kids.

I've seen this again and again. This is typical of the utterly their unrealistic portrait of anyone who disagrees with the primitive worldview.

One of the primary rules of war is, "Know thy enemy."
Again and again liberals (and especially DUmmies) reveal they have no idea who they are fighting.

This is why liberals fear Palin and the Tea Party so much.
This is also why they lost big time in 2010. They can't fight what they don't know. All through 2010, the polls looked dismal for the rats...did they change, or do anything to acknowledge the polls? No. They just marched into defeat and still wonder why.

The primitives are not allowed to discuss or name us...but we can have open discussions and examine our opponents in clear detail. We have the freedom to learn and know the enemy. The DUmp shuts out all opposition and hears only parroted talking points.
---this is why we win.

If you are a lurker, read it and weep. you can't even discuss us in your own "open" forum.
I'm free. YOU are not.

While the worst of future republicans were daydreaming of how to steal other childrens toys, ....DUmmiecrats were out stealing cars, robbing banks, selling drugs and killing people....then they grew up and turned violent.
