It doesn't matter if a plethora of conservatives are wealthy and making it. It only matters about these two? What we learned from this absurd post is what we've known all along. Those with a twisted agenda look silly when posting nonsense. As well as when the policies one follows are known failures, avoid discussing policy at all costs.

In modern slang lexicon, a word such as "Commie" doesn't really have to be used as it's dictionary definition in order to be a appropriate.

Being picyune about the exact definition in this context is just a hair above attacking someone's spelling.

Glenn Beck thought it would be a good idea to buyout CRTV, where many high profile conservatives have a voice. Guess what happened.

Pathway to success eludes you, obviously.


Most wealthy persons have gone thru bankruptcy several times before arriving at success.


Lessons learned, that failing is to stumble and not a fatal fall snuffing out all hope and dreams. .


Only losers attain a state of bankruptcy and never try again.

"Beck's blue jeans fashion line 1791 Supply Co. that launched in 2012 has since gone belly up with the website listing an "account suspended" page and a proverbial closed sign on its Irving location. Last July, Beck moved out of the $4 million Westlake mansion he was renting from Austrian crystal heiress Vanessa Swarovski. He closed the New York wing of his company in 2015 and in August announced a 20-percent staff cut for both TheBlaze and Mercury Radio Arts,"

I repeat. Hate ain't selling well. It can only support a few now.

Not everything you disagree with is "hate."

You can only cry wolf so many times until people stop listening.

The muslim takever never happened. The Obama brownshirts never came. The evil city people didn't raid the farms for food. Price of gold did not hit $5000. The economy did not crash. We didn't become communist. No one was taken to concentration / reeducation camps.

OK, fine, as long as the liberals get to apply "fascist" in broad slangy ways -- namely including beliefs in traditional values, belief that low taxes and less regulation allows for more opportunities for individuals to get ahead, strict policing of high crime areas, and devoting ourselves to maintaining a strong military and the right to use that military when it threatens our interest.

Funny how being slangy and loose can backfire. Right?

So yes, words do mean things. Otherwise why not find some random drunk at a bar and talk about a hot-potato topic of your choice with him or her, and also accept his or her word about what words mean, what he or she means or does not mean when they use a word? And conservatives accuse liberals of being squishy-soft "post-modern" !!
