also get to live with your friends! Honestly, will wonders never cease? What can’t Obama do?

of how the left forces people to do what they want. Let’s be quite clear here. Force is the main and identifying characteristic of the left. The Gulags are NOT an aberration, they are part and parcel of leftism. If the left thinks something is a good idea, they will force you to do it. Whether we’re talking about dishwasher detergent or “no-flo” government toilets, the force is the main characteristic. I had a friend crow about how an old house nearby his was being torn down and so he bought the toilets out of it for the house he was building so he didn’t have to buy the gov’t no-flo toilets. Maybe we should all get ‘twisty’ lights! Oh yeah, those don’t really work and they contain mercury (a poison).

I’ve got an idea: let people buy what they want. Enviro-nuts can buy non-phosphate soap, deal with the scum, use paper cups, etc. Oh wait, paper cups are a menace, too. People who don’t want to flush their toilets 10 times don’t have to buy a gov’t  no-flo toilet! Gee, what an idea…

But let’s be clear here: the left is all about force. They may have a smiley face on their coercion, they may think that their idea is a good one, but it is force nonetheless. So let’s not be confused.

I hear (and just read an excruciatingly long article) that he is “inflammatory” and that he says controversial things, but I have yet to hear anyone tell me what those things are. It’s kind of the Rush Limbaugh thing. I hear people say that he says inflammatory things, yet when I press them I don’t hear what they actually are. I think people who are saying that just have never heard them, and it’s more a a received notion than anything.

Here’s what I think is probable: Leftists don’t like the overall message so they say that there are “inflammatory” words in an effort to discredit them. Kind of a “poisoning the well” sort of approach. Kind of.
