So where are we as a Nation?
Do we have to admit that in theory the French, Germans, and
Russians
were
right, and we were wrong?

In a recent past one would have written :
"...Russians, Germans and French..."

Your president has done a post-traumatic mystic crisis because of
the
suffering caused by his alcoholic detoxication.
He is now a religious fanatic. As all the powerful religious
fanatic
he
is manipulated by lobbies.
This explains the grace and the elegance of "his" national and
international policy. :-)


We were dragged into this mess by a guy who wasn't even elected, and
is
obviously being run by the shadows behind the curtains of the former
Bush
whitehouse. Cheney, Powell et. al.
Now we have in place this regressive national police state called
homeland
security (the neo-gestapo)
This because the gullible American public believes the 'big lie'
and they don't care, as long as they can drive their SUV's and eat
cheeseburgers, the hell with the rest of the world ...
Well - It will get the big idiot and his henchmen elected again
The Democrats couldn't come up with a candidate so we are in for
another
four years of right wing tyranny
Only in America

The topics addressed in this snub-nosed, little rant can be gleefully
filed under the heading "if they annoy the left this much they must,
by definition, be correct".

Your agony is delicious!

As is your marginalization.

Almost as delicious as this cheeseburger I'm wolfing down...

Which, I might add, I picked up in my Cadillac Escalade.

Rock on!

you will probably enjoy that truck more when gas hits $3

And that will be when, exactly?

by the way
did you know that that escalade is a chevy
with extra chrome
and fake
wood
panels

What do I care -- like all Republicans, I have money to burn.

Got any more class-envy issues you need to work out?


i do not envy you in any way
i think you are under educated

B.S. and M.F.A from Big Ten Universities -- any other rank stereotypes
I can disabuse you of?

if you understood class structure you would realize
that class in the united states is determined by education and peer respect
not by the amount of money you have

So, when liberals talk about raising marginal rates on the upper
classes they really mean to soak Ph.D's?

Are these rates indexed to CV's?

Gosh, who knew?

most really wealthy people
are very concerned about spending

And the sun also rises...


escalades are targeted at middle class under educated consumers

$50,000+ vehicles are targeted at the middle class? And your proof?


most of my friends drive vehicles
that are much more 'conservative' than the tank you are describing
My richest friend (i think) owns three aircraft, has two paid pilots, an 85'
cruiser with a full time crew, owns an island to which we often go, yet

Yeah, aircraft get much better milage than Escalades and are of course
held to much stricter emissions standards...

Your hypocrisy reeks...

drives the same german car that i own
i have several vehicles myself

So you're not actually a "classist" you're just a garden variety
yuppie snob.

Figures.

which are much less conspicuous
have higher value

As determined by who?

and are more fun to drive... than a cadillac truck.

Depends where you drive -- german cars aren't much use in Borrego
Springs dunes, for instance.


The only issue I am trying to work out as you say, is that you apparently
agree with the first post. You are content to drive your SUV and eat your
mad cow cheeseburger, without concern about the rest of the world.

And your "german" car and radish salad demonstrates worldwide
compassion how, exactly?

Tell us all the depth of your commitment to end suffering all about
the planet...

Let us bask in your glow.

So be
it... Do not think however, that because I state an opinion of what I think
is wrong with middle class america, that I state it because I am envious of
that lower class status. I am not...
