Offer them a debate with a real smart, tough liberal democrat and they seldom agree to one and when do always get there butts kicked. So Hannity will never agree to such a debate as he like most bullies is a coward. But you should not let Hannity get off so easy though. Take a video recorder and go to his recording studio and wait for him to exit and then respectfully confront him on the spot to a debate or agreement for a formal one. (Do what Oreilly does on his show, if they dont come to hime he goes to them)Wow can you imagine the look on Hannitys face if you did that?

Do you have any idea (why do I even ask?) what we've done to Iraq on an economic level? The CPA instituted a bunch of "free market" reforms, not even bothering to tell the Iraqi Chamber of Commerce who was not happy, with a preference for foreign investors over domestic business. The US oil companies are also trying to implement “production sharing agreements” which are "a relic of the 1960s," said the letter, seen by IPS. "They will re-imprison the Iraqi economy and impinge on Iraq's sovereignty since they only preserve the interests of foreign companies. We warn against falling into this trap."<BR/><BR/>Here's an article about these agreements:<BR/><BR/>http://www.commondreams.org/headlines07/0228-05.htm<BR/><BR/>Here's an article about our economic policies in Iraq:<BR/><BR/>http://www.50years.org/cms/ejn/story/169<BR/><BR/>There’s more to a democracy than voting. What we’ve instituted in Iraq is a puppet government and corporate looting. Not democracy.<BR/><BR/>I hate people like you.

Our country has been, historically, one of the most protectionist countries. If you think that doesn’t go on to today I suggest you read how NAFTA is structured, do some reading on big agro business and fuel like ethanol. One of the first things the government did after the Revolution was pass a huge tariff to protect domestic business (which, by the way, contrary to your "free market" non-sense, is the only way that countries have ever developed. Korea made it a crime punishable of death to export capital while they were developing, China has very strict capital controls now, Chile stopped capital flows when their free market experiments almost destroyed their country in the early 80's). <BR/><BR/>There's a couple other problems with your simplifications, and that's all they are. Prices are going to rise anyway, it goes with the expansion of the monetary base, if they don't over a long enough period it would in all likelihood mean a recession. If prices DON’T rise over a couple quarters we call that a RECESSION. Longer, it’s called a DEPPRESSION. People take loans out to fund a business they want to start up and, if the monetary base doesn’t expand or at least stay the same (raising prices or keeping them steady), they will not be able to pay back those loans on an aggregate level. Hirer prices are, in our economic system, a necessity for economic growth. But you’re a right winger and an expert on economics so I assume you already knew that. The minimum wage is nothing more than allowing workers to maintain their purchasing power, taking into account monetary policy. Give me an example of a country with no minimum wage in the world (cause that's the fantasy land "free market" economics you believe in right?) that doesn't at the same time have extreme poverty. Colombia is one, do some research. I’ll buy you the ticket if you promise to leave this country. Don’t worry about the death squads either. Columbia is a “free market” country, the most “free” in Latin America, so it will be a paradise. <BR/><BR/>One last thing, have you bothered for a second to do any research to see if the minimum wage itself leads to inflation? In order to do that you would have to understand how the Fed and monetary policy works and I'd bet any part of my body that you barely know what either is. <BR/><BR/>You are an idiot and you are typical. Take your ignorant, smug ass to the library and read up on economics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1172774588970861182007-03-01T13:43:00.000-05:002007-03-01T13:43:00.000-05:00Who is Sean Hannity?Who is Sean Hannity?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198609303127195650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1172770956475536372007-03-01T12:42:00.000-05:002007-03-01T12:42:00.000-05:00Sean is a NEOCON...

It is not the meaning of the clear simple words in the first amendment. It is counter to the intent of the easily ascertainable thoughts of the founders. It is based on the words of Thomas Jefferson written 14 years later in an incidental letter not specifically on the Constitution. Jefferson was not in the country at the time of the drafting of the first amendment. His meaning was the opposite of that interpreted by the Judge. He was referring to a sermon in which the "wall" protected the church from the state and not the state from the church. The first amendment had been properly understood for a century and a half. A former Ku Klux Klan member sat in judgment on the Supreme Court and passed a judgment that happened to coincide with the views of the Klan that his son said he supported. The judge wrote those words in direct and purposeful contradiction to the majority opinion that he was supposed to be expressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
