Debating Progressives

SELLC VS. POWERSTROKER

SELLC Question: With the CRU files leak, do you still believe the climate science is not settled?

PowerStroker Response: You (expletive deleted) son of a (expletive deleted). Did you learn that from Glenn Beck? That (expletive deleted). Anybody who cant see the science is settled is a flat earther. Are you stupid? No, I dont have any facts to back up my argument. However, I do have a copy of the IPCC report that I use as a door stop and I watched Al Gore win the Oscar.

SELLC Question: The economy is only getting worse under President Obamas stewardship. Shouldnt we let the free market work to end the economic crisis?

PowerStroker Response: This is Bushs fault. Sure we criticized him for cutting the budget and not caring about the poor, but we say that about all Republicans you (expletive deleted). Yeah, he created Medicare Part D which wont be solvent for long, but didnt the Republicans say deficits dont matter? Its their fault. Sure, we control the Senate, the House and the White House now, but that doesnt mean we take any responsibility for Bushs disaster. If Bush had never been born, then none of this would have ever happened. There would be peace, love, granola and tiny, fuzzy polar bears dancing in the cold, cold, cold. You (expletive deleted).

SELLC Question: Didnt Democrats help blow the housing bubble by forcing banks to make loans to individuals who werent creditworthy?

PowerStroker Response: You racist (expletive deleted). Not making (expletive deleted) loans to people who cant pay them back is the very definition of racism. In fact, money is inherently racist. Look at the people who have money. Everyone should own a house, even if the government has to buy it for them. Bush wanted an ownership society. We want an ownership society too only in our ownership society government will own everything and make sure that everyone gets their fair share of what government doesnt want.

SELLC Question: Isnt Cap and Trade just a scheme to redistribute wealth to the favored interests that put the current administration in power?

PowerStroker Response: You (expletive deleted). You wing nut. You tea sipping nitwhit. You dumb (expletive deleted). If we dont create a government run system of carbon trading that allows the government to reward its friends and punish its enemies, then baby seals are going to die. Plus, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase need the opportunity to create Carbon Default Swaps because if you thought Credit Default Swaps were sweet, just wait till you see carbon based derivatives. Sure, cap and trade didnt work in Europe, but cmon yes we can, yes we can!

SELLC Question: But, were carbon-based life forms arent we? We breathe the stuff out day and night. We dont even fully understand the complex web of factors that affects climate shouldnt we go slow?

PowerStroker Response: We have been saying for generations that you (expletive deleted) morons are going to kill us. We cant wait any longer. Just because we cant predict the weather day to day, just because the temperature hasnt risen in over a decade, just because some say that climate scientists are hiding the temperature decline, doesnt mean the earth wont whip out a big old hockey stick and slap our species down. Al Gore said it was so. Need I say more?

SELLC Question: With increasing deficits, and no end to spending increases in sight, are we in danger of destroying our economy and way of life?

PowerStroker Answer: Have you been listening to (expletive deleted) Beck again? Havent you read Keynes? Are you an idiot? If government doesnt spend money, then the economy wont grow. If the Federal Reserve doesnt print money and prop up insolvent banks, then the economy will collapse. Where does the money come from? Obamas stash. Just kidding, it comes from China. They loan it to us, so we keep buying from them. Then they loan us more, so we keep buying. When does it end? It never ends. This goes on for eternity. The Chinese have a symbol for it its called the Yuan.

SELLC Question: And interest on the debt? Eventually it will consume so much of our GDP that it will drag down the whole economy. Societies that pay 20% or more of GDP towards debt service, typically hit a wall and can no longer sustain paying the debt. This leads to an eventual decline. Does that concern you?

PowerStroker Answer: What a load of crap! It takes tax money to make money. We can raise taxes on the rich. We can print more money. Were not like the Hapsburgs, the French, the Spanish or the English. Ben Bernanke said everything is just fine no need to worry. Just let the experts handle it like they handled it beforeoh crap!

SELLC Question: Name one government program that ever saved us any money.

PowerStroker Answer: Uh

SELLC Question: Part of the saving to pay for Health Care Reform is supposed to come from money saved by preventing Medicare Fraud. If the government knew about the fraud, why didnt they just fix it?

PowerStroker Answer: You (expletive delted). Why dont you kiss my (expletive deleted) you (expletive deleted). Why dont you ask your buddy Bush and Dick Cheney? Why dont you have a seance and ask Ronald Reagan?

SELLC Question: So, do you see any irony that the groups that voted for Obama minorities and the youth are being hurt most by the Obama economy?

PowerStroker Answer: Why dont you ask Bush you racist (expletive deleted)? Why dont you ask King George I or his idiot son you (expletive deleted)?

SELLC Question: Anything further to add.

PowerStroker Answer: (Expletive deleted) off.
