Forget which politician was saying what, the guy has done a total 180.<br /><br />In other words, this has nothing to do with what ANYONE else said/is saying and only deals with Krugman. 3 months ago, incivility was the worst thing to happen to this Republic since the Civil War and quite possibly the bane of human existence according to Krugman. Today, well it's quite alright to be uncivil.

It also said there's a 1-in-3 chance policymakers won't sufficiently address the debt bomb issue by 2013 and will result in a downgrade from its AAA status.<br /><br />S&P's actions show what a farce the fiscal year 2011 budget deal just negotiated was. S&P's actions also will give Krugman and his ilk a new license to scream at the top of their lungs about the need to raise taxes. Our side will say it demonstrates the need to cut spending. Our side is right, of course, as government spending as a share of GDP has never been higher in the modern post-WWII era.<br /><br />Civility will be thrown out the window as Krugman and others ratchet up the demagoguery.MaggotAtBroad&Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493406951892285654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-65212138631165794182011-04-18T10:23:04.325-04:002011-04-18T10:23:04.325-04:00As I understand it (I rarely read that crap), once...As I understand it (I rarely read that crap), once you get the above screen at the NYT paywall, switch browsers and you can read another 20 propaganda pieces.

What's new?<br /><br />The Progressive approach, seems to me, wants to saturate the ears of their voting base with vitriol about the Republicans. What could go wrong?<br /><br />The only thing I can think of would be to add physical violence. And then that could be the spark of something called 'civil war'. The Urban Dictionary describes: War is a state of widespread conflict between states, organisations, or relatively large groups of people, which is characterised by the use of lethal violence between combatants or upon civilians.<br /><br />Progressives have no idealogical intellectual choices left.
