I'm not sure that trying to brainwash the most vulnerable people with religion is really much to be proud of.


I've been to developing nations ("third world"? You must be old) and managed to not have to convince anyone there to believe the same little man in the sky/stories that I do.

I hate to use the follow the money phrase but how else to objectify the villains? Da guberment and Bubba Bill forced bankers to make sub prime loans......When considering these banks financed his campaign, that's interesting. Meanwhile banks made tons of "fake" profits at the time since sub prime loans are like bubble fuel. People in sub prime are not the kind of people who sock money away. They circulate it like crazy. This caused a massive profitable boom. The poor banksters were forced by da guberment they installed to bloat the economy....


Now I am all for blaming da guberment as a tool of special interest , however the interest is intimately involved.

What makes you think I am representative of this group? Do you think I am a bible thumper merely because I used them as an example? You are arguing anecdotally from your own experiences, not me. I am not a bible thumper, or a conservative.

My kids are bilingual, and I have used 4 languages in my travels speaking with locals. I just don't make stupid anecdotal arguments designed to display and feed a superiority complex.

Lefties....They get a library card to brag about the books they check out, but never read them .

No, I just like to go hypocrite spotting. The regressive left is even worse than the old social conservatives on the right.
I leaned Obama in 2008 and 2012. I was sympathetic to Occupy Wall Street. Too bad he blew all his campaign promises. He did not even prosecute a bank clerk from the housing bubble. We Trump supports are all the same though, huh?

not all the same - but his followers that hang on his word like gospel is like nothing I've ever witnessed, he literally can do no wrong- anyone that bases their votes off of "winning" or pissing of a liberal doesn't deserve that vote. If you were mad that Obama never locked up a banker you must love the cognitive dissonance Trump's cabinet of GS bankers, the King of Bankruptcy, and the CEO of Exxon brings about.

Maybe some of his critics slavishly follow media propaganda...You are quite typical of them. Like it or not Trump seems to think a Hamiltonian approach is the only practical one.
