People of color suck. Especially African-Americans. Anything that has happened to people of color isn't really THAT bad. They need to get over it so we white folks can feel better about being white. Besides, if hard pressed, we can always come up with a similar example. Blacks had chattel slavery. We had...uh...well, what about the Irish?
Here are my links from all my biased sites to support my horsesh*t view.
(sigh) Why can't minorities be more like white people, shining the light of civilization upon the world?

The end.
That one again. If one can't provide empirical evidence to refute the argument, then imply racism is at work. Further, do so in a sarcastic way, in order to try and fool others into thinking the real reason for not providing said counter-evidence is that the original argument is not worthy of such. It's an old ploy and fools no one.
As a final aside...all opinions are "biased". Relevant question is are the supporting facts themselves true?
Yes and we all know how well socialism has served us in the past century. It had slaves too. People's Republic of China, Cambodia, North Korea, USSR, and so on. Man, they all had slavery and some still do. Must be that free market influence.
You need to come up with some fresh material. The Pol Pot Magic Wand does not actually dispel any of the points raised concerning the flaws inherent in relying on a free market system.

Given the nature of various other beliefs you have put forward, it is hardly surprising to find you so wildly off base on this one.

The point is meaningless. The claimed fact that a minority of between 10% and 33% of blacks falsely believe that patients were injected with syphillis does not at all establish the thesis that The infamous Tuskegee experiment is the Medusa's head of black left-wing paranoia. Plainly, a very large majority does not believe that at all, and so bases its condemnations of the affair on other aspects of it entirely. What Goldberg is trying to do is claim that because a small number of people are in error about one aspect of a problem, the large number of people who see the same problem are wrong, even though they themselves do not commit the same error. That is fraud. Goldberg cannot make a thesis, so he simply invents one. Pretty much par for the course that right-wingers prefer to play.

No one was talking about high marginal tax rates. The topic was the oft-expressed right-wing delusion that tax cuts increase revenue. They do not. Your post is unrelated to that topic.

The topic again was the oft-expressed right-wing delusion that SS is going bankrupt. It is not. Your post reveals only that you know very little about the future of Social Security.

The topic again was the oft-expressed right-wing delusion that Saddam had WMD. He did not. Informed people were advising that he did not. Informed people were proving that he did not. I would agree that it was stupid to believe that he did anyway.
Oh. You mean sort of like the powers that police have over others to prevent them from wantonly robbing, exploiting, and otherwise abusing the rights of third parties. You know, in my experience, it's usually only the robbers, exploiters, and abusers who actually object to that sort of thing.

At least a socialist doesn't ask himself the following question: Why do anything if you can't make a profit?
Profit is not their aim of the game.
no he tells himself "why do anything when someone else will do it for me"
