speaking of ghosts from the past, Swag, where's your buddy, koobya? He's equally as delusional with his belief that Obama is the anti-christ! LOL! You right wingers really need to get a group discount on mental meds.

well, swaggy, looks like even your Milton Friedman fan club boys (ie, Greenspan) are admitting their beloved laissez faire is fantasy land economics for naive, delusional dreamers. Speaking of which, where have you been hiding? Did the doc up your dosage? Anyways, you use deceptive insinuation & just plain bullshit in your "debates". So, just scroll back to see comments regarding all those points you think you're an expert on. Life is too short to argue with circle jerks : )

swag:LOL!I completely forgot about you.But your pretentious,"i'm a financial know-it-all genius" reminds me to rub it in that REALITY has proven you wrong.Remember how you disappeared right after the banking meltdown? How you would argue about the stink I made of the merits of regulating industry? This was long before anyone other then CEO's & chief financial officers of those banks had an inkling of the massive red ink in their accounting books?Is it all coming back to you.If not, scroll back.

smackdown is getting lump of coal from Newt Grinchrinch for Christmas ;-)Oh wait, neocon Newt Gingrich is now an "environmentalist". Or at least he plays one on TV along with Pelosi. Actually, since his "Contract with America" didn't have many accomplishments. He is now a co-author of a "Contract with Earth". He really has reversed his evil, earth hating ways! Miracles do happen!

aReasonableGuy - My point was that Christmas is actually a secular holiday. well despite your objections. christmas is in fact a christian holiday. people of other faiths do not celebrate it. and in fact, i think that many christians would take offense to your assertion.our founding fathers did not want christianity or any faiths polluting our government and that's the way it should stay. sorry. no government sponsored xmas tree for you.

Just like Halloween.As far as your concern about the government needing to "stay the f**k" out of it, may I remind you that our government is "of the people, by the people." So long as it does not sanction one religion to the exclusion of others, we're OK. Why not live a little & have fun?

Utah State Senator Chris Buttars is attempting to pass a bill to encourage people in his state to say, 'merry christmas'. sir, you are a douche.

aReasonableGuy - You won't see a nativity scene on virtually any Christmas TV special program.i don't care what tv stations air. they are (mostly) private companies and are entitled to act as they see fit. you could have the 'nativity scene channel' and i wouldn't give a rat's ass about it.but our government needs to stay the fuck out and vice versa.

aReasonableGuy - But I bet you don't lobby to keep government agencies from putting up cobweb & spider decorations near the end of October.I don't lobby to keep government agencies about xmas either. but do i think that they should decorate for halloween? no. for precisely the same reason. it's none of their business.
