The Second Bush Depression

[Adam]

You've obviously been indoctrinated with twisted propaganda. An intelligent person, on the other hand, realizes the partisan agendas of his sources and gives proper attention to finding the other side's perspective, or at least an objective interpretation.

Good advice, Ty,
And I hope you will take it.
It's a principle of psychology that preachers preach against sins they don't commit, never preach against sins they know they do commit, but preach loudest and longest against sins they so innately commit that they have blocked from their minds that they do them. They are subconsiously aware of their sinful nature, and they keep this consciousness suppressed by consciously telling themselves over and over again that they should do what they actually don't do or not do what they actually do.
As Shakespeare said, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Your response steered far off the topic of whether a small economic downturn, after years of positive growth should be called a depression, when the slowdown in the growth of the economy resides in a context of ongoing overall growth of the economy.

The preachers who preach false prophecy with an agenda are the mainstream media, who are committed to their 'enlightened' ideas. They are allied with the leftist, liberal 'progressives,' in spirit, and thought, though there will not be much evidence of planned collusion. Its a mind-set. It is a way of thinking they both share, derived from a liberal education system that takes its job literally.

It is obvious when people adopt their way of thinking. They repeat opinion as if it were fact. The preach, broadcast, write and televise from a perspective that colors their reporting. Objectivity, to them is a failure to reach the people with "what they need to know." The people who absorb their output without checking it out are the kind of people who say things like you just posted.

Well, Ty,
TWeb bios don't tell much about us, and even following all my posts you wouldn't get my political "testimony", so here goes.
In high school in the late 50's I persuaded both my parents to switch from Democrat to Republican. Yes, I was more of a "Modern Republican", but by 1960 I was an idealogue libertarian, the next step farther right from laissez faire capitalist. In 1961 I went farther right and joined the John Birch Society and sent not one, but three, 3,000 word essays in their competition, "Why Chief Justice Earl Warren Should be Impeached."
I "got religion" in 1962 and abandoned politics, but that was as much my cynicism that poeple could ever be persuaded to do the right thing (particularly from an original thinker like me) as from my new-found Christianity. Nevertheless, I remained "on board" and eagerly cast my first Presidential vote for Barry Goldwater.
I enlisted for Army Officer Candidate School during the Viet Nam War in 1966, a naive patriot who became even more "strike" during my training. However, two hours of sleep a night and virtually nothng to eat didn't agree with a beanpole like me, so I flunked out of OCS because I couldn't stay awake in class. Reduced to ordinary enlisted "GI Joe", I soon rebelled against being treated like an animal, and though I rose to E-5 (Sergeant level) I left the Army the next thing to a pacifist. A year of "flower-power" ideology (though I was never a "hippie") soon wilted, however, and I was back to my Rightist roots, particularly after I converted from Methodist to Roman Catholic in 1969. From 1970 to 1977 I was Legitimist Monarchist, than which there is nothing farther right than Nazi.
In 1977 I "got religion" again and got the Baptism in the Spirit and joined the Charismatic Renewal in the Roman Catholic Church. For fifteen years I was convinced we had all the answers and that none of it was politically Liberal. I always voted, but always third party, because I considered the Republican Party far too liberal, just part of the two-party conspiracy against the true American Way.
Continuing my third party ways, I voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and 1996. However, when I found out just before the election in 2000that Bush II was a three-time loser (a rowdy, a drunk, a drunk driver) I voted for Gore in protest of the Republicans putting up such an awful candidate. By 2004 Bush had turned me into a Liberal, and I voted for Kerry after my candidate Dennis Kucinich had lost badly. And in 2008 Kucinich quit just before I had a chance to vote for him here in California.
Do I sound like a brain-washed Liberal Democrat, Ty?
And in a prior post you implied that I was not intelligent. Ty, my IQ is 145. And that's rare enough in TWeb (probably only Jezz and Justin are similarly "intelligent") to explain why I am so disliked.

And you are still going downhill.

Nope. Just a very confused old man who cannot spell.

Heck Adam, even Shadowmaster is higher than that and he does not feel above the intellectual level of numerous others on Tweb. You need to look around more.

.... Maybe you should have some fun on the spam threads to lighten up and reduce your inflated ego with some fun exercise.

"Sergeant" is the correct spelling. The diminutive "Sarge" causes most people to misspell it. Did I spell "Kucinich" wrong? The fact that the corporate media refused to report that he introduced 35 counts of impeachment this week makes it harder to keep in mind the spelling of his unusual name.

It is "people" that you spelled wrong.

OK, shadowmaster,
You got me.
Twice.
At least I proved that I can ordinarily spell well without using Spell-Checker (did I spell that right?).
Or that I've got such a big ego that I think I don't need Spell-Checker, even though I do?

I have a big ego, but I have web browser-enabled spell checker (thank you Mozilla).

My IQ is also rather above 145.

May I suggest that you do a Google news check with the key words "Kucinich" and "Impeachment" I saw 917 hits.

Glad to hear that.
I didn't see it in any of my papers.
But I wouldn't believe anything I read in the corporate-controlled media, anyway.

No. no, I got that from my "sources" even before he went to the floor of the House. I gave $100 to www.ImpeachBush.com a few months ago, they want more money from me now, so they keep me up to date.

The info was on CNN, Fox News, etc. You really did not need to look very far.
