What is it with Liberal Progressives Anyways

Article in the Atlantic about the global plutocracy

This shows us why the Republicans are wrong. This elite, worshipped as gods, a bunch of amoral, spoiled brats, some of them are clearly insane (though Khordokovsky is in prison now he surely counts as insane having claimed that anyone who is not an oligarch must be sick), and they demand that Western people take a large cut in their standard of living. These people are asking to be destroyed.

Notice that these people have no loyalty to any nation or people. Their loyalty is to their own class. So these so-called hyper-patriots who call themselves American conservatives should put their traitor gods' disloyalty in their pipes and smoke it.

Yes, what is it with us liberal progressive types? I've never gotten us liberal progressive types. I sat down with my mum (semi-retired healthcare nonprofit coordinator), my brother (geopolitics and environmental sustainability analyst) and his fiancee (urban public policy analyst), and asked them, "what is it with us liberal progressive types, anyway?" and they all said, "man, beats me!"

And hey, you know, Glenn Beck MUST have rigorous fact-checking, right? 'Cause, you know, they'd have pulled him off the air otherwise, riiiiiight?

Meh, typos go figure.

Anyways, visagrunt does Journ'O'list mean anything to you? It should, because it pretty much proved my point about many sources that you consider credible.

What sources, pray, do I consider credible? Do you have some window into my cognition?

Or perhaps I have revealed myself to you. So, what journals have I cited to support my arguments with you?

Well, I have cited the Oxford English Dictionary, and I stand by that particular work. I am reasonably certain that its editorial staff have not been colluding to exclude right wing citations--but I didn't any Bill O'Reilly citations under the entry for "Kool-Aid," so you might be onto something there.

I have probably cited the Canadian Journal of Public Health, the CIA World Factbook and publications of Statistics Canada, the OECD and WHO. I don't think their credibility is called into question by your source, either. But do correct me if I am wrong.

If we are limiting ourselves to news media, well I have certainly cited the New York Times. But I have not done so for the substance of the citation, but for the fact of its content, specifically, the use of the phrase, "drink the Kool-Aid." Hardly a citation which relies upon the credibility of the Times.

But feel free to show me what journals I find credible. And if you can do so, you are more than welcome to impeach their credibility.
