Comments on: It’s Literally Wednesday: Political Books http://www.decaturmetro.com/2012/10/03/its-literally-wednesday-political-books/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Tue, 16 Sep 2014 03:53:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: The Walrus http://www.decaturmetro.com/2012/10/03/its-literally-wednesday-political-books/#comment-290919 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:49:49 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=24824#comment-290919 I just find it hilarious that anyone who supports Obama would have the audacity to criticize someone else’s plan on reducing the deficit. Obama had ADDED almost 6 trillion to the deficit!

And DEM, as I’m sure you know, the reason most liberals only focus on “those crazy religious nuts” is because they would get eaten alive if they were to have an intellectual discussion about economics. Romney/Ryan haven’t been running a campaign focusing on social issues, but that is all some liberals want to point out. They just don’t want to/can’t have a debate about the economic health and direction of this country.

Having said that, as a libertarian, I do wish the Republican Party would get with the program on social issues….

I was just thinking of that excellent example of political fiction. I also loved The Last Hurrah by Edwin O’Conner. Written in 1956, it’s about a mayoral race in unnamed east coast city (Boston.) It illustrates the end of big machine politics as it existed up to that time. Wonderful book.

tired of arguing with you
you miss my point and keep trying to make this discussion personal.
Have a nice day.

I think I was about 16 when I came to the conclusion that intelligence doesn’t explain political beliefs. There are brilliant minds on both sides of the political spectrum. And it should be obvious that not all conservatives are religious, even if we are to grant your biased notion that “religion fears science.” I guess that’s why they don’t teach science at Notre Dame and Georgetown?
