In my opinion, that makes you one of a few here.

I'll answer your broodmare question when you come back and tell me where you got the idea that I was some sort of financial advisor.
So, now that I've given you my explanation, you give me yours: How do you reconcile your support of "freedom" and also advocate forced sterilization?

Oh, and BTW... rappy has not really responded to ANY of the points where he was wrong. Nor has he responded to the idea of making banking and investment illegal. So the ground he stands on is getting smaller and smaller.

For REAL freedom, they must be allowed to suffer the consequences of their bad choices. Having others pay for their mistakes, isn't freedom.

There's no 'may be' about it. You were completely wrong, and it's not even close. Someone else here, perhaps, you have confused me with, or maybe on another message board?
In this case, how do you NOT stop this lady from having more kids ? She's clearly shown she's an unfit mother. This isn't some reality show, 19, 20 and counting, or what ever. This is ' 15,and I forget which one's your daddy. Go on! Stop botherin' me ! ' .

Nothing childish or tantrum about it. Your inability to offer up any coherent, rational reply is the childish tantrum on display here.

Ohhh, Mike: " This surprises you exactly why?" And no, I know it doesn't surprise you in the least, so the question ought to be "So why do you repeat again what everyone already knows?" And yes, I know the answer to THAT one too; you enjoy playing his game.
As do you, my dear. You spend more time claiming to NOT respond than most others do actually responding to him. It's more than a bit passive-aggressive, you know.

As for the "welfare broodmare", I'll ask a simple question of Rappy, which he has asked time and again himself of corporations, big banks, and right-wing pork princesses:
What did this person do that is illegal? What law did she break?
I pointed out that MIchele Bachmann is THE quintessential welfare queen - taking in children only to get the paycheck from the state, taking Medicare money via her husband's "pray the gay away" clinic, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars to not work on her family farm, taking taxpayer money AND lavish benefit packages while she "works" her so-called "job" - which is really just sucking off the federal teat, which is really the only job she's ever had - and I was asked what she was doing that was illegal.
So I'm asking the same question. Is this woman breaking the law? Is she committing fraud? Or is she getting what she can from the system, which I'm told is just fine when Michele Bachmann does it?
Really, how is she any different from Bachmann?

That's how the real world works, Chris. Your CIA director says the evidence is a " slam dunk ", you take that into consideration, with all the other evidence you have, and you make a decision.
So that would be a "no" on the whole "personal responsibility" thing, then.

Not sure how you reconcile this with supporting the TARP bailouts, which you say were a good idea. That was US paying for the mistakes and bad choices of bankers and their investors, was it not? Why didn't we allow them to suffer the consequences of their bad choices? After all, it's not a free market if others are paying for your mistakes, is it?
