The white beard basically gets me confused with Santa when I ride public transport. It also hides a whole bunch of wrinkles. :-)

Your "situation" doesn't matter to me. I was simply commenting on the flawed analysis of the situation you presented. No one will replace MLK in history or his historic day in Washington, and Beck has said that repeatedly. I would say more here, but I'm very busy trying to figure out how to keep the black man down right now.

Okay, and I will add the

Okay, and I will add the British Labor Party circa 1950 that imposed huge taxes on the rich, which led to a mass exodus of the nations most talented individuals to America and other places. Noel Coward talked about this incessantly.

It's interesting -- I keep coming up with real world examples of the failure of his logic, and OLEEB responds with rhetoric and insults.

I am not bothering to respond

I am not bothering to respond to your completely lame, boilerplate, right wing drivel. There's a massive difference between not wasting my time arguing with someone who quite clearly doesn't know what he's talking about on some pretty basic levels and avoiding a refutation of a legitimate position. Your entry level right wing rhetoric should embarass you but you aren't well enough informed to reach that conclusion. Thus, no, I will not be responding to your simplistic and innacuarate right wing boilerplate. Sorry.

Hey Dick, (pun intended) you

Hey Dick, (pun intended) you obviously don't know anything about my personal situation, politics, nor my ability occasionally to be taken quite seriously by a majority of cafe participants. Since I have never seen a comment from Dick Richards in all my time here (2006-on) I will assume you don't have a clue how you obtuse you sound, nor whom you are addressing in such a way.

So you are forgiven.

I suggest that you take time to go back and read some of what you missed. My blog archives go back all the way, and you might find yourself suprised at where I am coming from. Then, you might not feel the need to have foot-in-mouth disease.

Your answer, if true, would only tell me that for these people to feel the urge to drive "hundreds, if not thousands" of miles to feel like they "mattered" tells me 2 things: 1) that they obviously have some personal issues if Glen Beck is the only thing in life that "makes them matter", and 2) that they obviously have extra time and money on their hands that most of us have little of these days. No one who is unemployed and hurting to put food on the table is going to throw caution to the wind, say screw the bills, losing a home, $$$ for the kids--I'm going to be at Glen Beck's Restoring Honor ceremonies! No sir. Given our economic situation, most of us not able to do so, if given that ethical dilemma... So I will not judge, and neither should ye judge, Sir.

By the way, Mr. "Woods" is somebody else. In 30 years I've never put an S at the end of my name.
Common mistake, but you might want to pay more attention or do more research before reacting next time.

The purpose, Mr. Wood (pun

The purpose, Mr. Wood (pun intended) was for the humble people of this country to drive hundreds if not thousands of miles to feel like they mattered. To feel like the virtues they hold dear (honesty, integrity, benvolence) have not perished from the Earth, despite an onslaught from Washington of dishonest, lying duplicitous leaders who get us into wars based on lies, demand we elect them, based on lies, and demand more and more of our money based on lies.

Perhaps, Mr. Woods, you would feel free to give up more of your income to unaccountable politicians, and to that we say -- this is America -- go for it. GET YOUR CHECKBOOK OUT! When we see you forking over 90% of your income to the ruling overclass of federal government employeees, then we might start to take you seriously!

Yes, nobody will ever

Yes, nobody will ever disparage Michael Jordan -- as
Ellen has so correctly pointed out. It's pointless.

Well Oleeb, you are

Well Oleeb, you are considerably more articulate than me, but fall into the well-worn trap of resorting to insults, because -- of course -- you can't dispute anything I've said as FACT. It is quite troubling to the discerning mind. We await the facts I've stated that are beyond dispute.

Cuba, Russia, Hungary, East Germany -- please name the country that solved the problem of economic justice with the tired, ridiculous notion that you should just destroy the wealthy class, and you will create utopia. We're listening, OLEEB, and we expect a reply...
