Ya, I always seem to like a group, then this crap shows up.

Governor Dannel Malloy brings in his fail by claiming infrastructure solves all economic problems.

[yt]zFLJTiB2zPg[/yt]

"You got to start telling the truth that the state UNDERinvested. That's why we lost jobs for 22 years in a row on a net basis. When you're not rebuilding your infrastructure and, quite frankly, when you're not expanding your infrastructure, you lose."

Hmmm, let's see...

Proper infrastructure spending is in response to growth, and isn't able to cause healthy growth in and of itself.

So, even if the claim that there has not been sufficient infrastructure spending is true, what evidence does he have that a new high-speed rail link is what the state needs?

The way some "libertarians" cling to the Republican Party really scares me sometimes. Case in point

QuoteI have and will continue to walk the walk as well as talk the talk as long as God will allow me enough good health to continue.

    I am also old enough to know that everything is not always textbook perfect in politics, or for that matter, in anything else. In fact life is mostly what happens to you while you're making other plans. I know that there are always stumbling blocks that need to be overcome. They cannot be overcome by dogged refusal to do what is best at any given point in time.

    The history of our country, the strength of our people and their collective resolve is not to quit and resort to standby status at critical moments. Right now our nation is in a situation that Mitt Romney is better equipped with the financial know how and more attuned to how a Free Enterprise Republic should operate than is Barack Obama, who actually wants to turn us into a complete socialized society (remember "If Congress doesn't cooperate with me, I'll just bypass them and do it anyway").

    Do I think Mitt Romney is perfect? Of course not. Neither is Gary Johnson, Ron Paul or anyone else.

    To not recognize the fact that there is almost no chance whatsoever to have anyone other than Barack Obama or Mitt Romney as our next president is simply naive. I believe that too just stand by and let the chips fall where they may, regardless of either valid or invalid misgivings, is a dangerous mistake.

    Wise dedicated American voters will go to the polls and choose whichever of those two they believe will be the best for our nation. My choice, and I hope your choice, will be Mitt Romney.

I wish liberals wouldn't try to throw economics around when they don't know a damn thing about economics. If they knew anything about economics, they would understand that Obama DOES believe in trickle down theory.

I spliced your podcast and Alfonzo's videos together. Mostly I was bored out my mind and needed something to do. You've pissed off the Neo-cons, Shane.

This one was all kinds of fail worthy.
"Shanedk, you ask how many times the U.S. has to "be able to invade the entire world"? How many times should your immune system be considered justified in attacking viruses? The U.S. does not start wars. Were it to quit opposing those who do, this entire globe would be in flames in short order."

Shane I think you need to defend yourself from This comment.

"This guy is operating on whole set of preconceived assumptions that he is imposing on Zo just because he doesn't like his religious persuasion. And he is also isolating statements and cherry picking interpretations of what he is saying just so that he can spin out his own soap box inanities. I'm not particularly religious myself but this guy just comes off in this vid like a pretentious and obnoxious prick."

How do you respond the whole "those social countries that are violent, aren't really socialist." claim?

I don't really get it.

It's your basic No True Scotsman fallacy.

Sounds like a "No True Scotsman" fallacy to me. That or they're just completely delusional to the fact that socialism requires force/violence/aggression in order for it to even be possible. If there were no acts of force in a socialist society, what would stop me from simply refusing to give up the fruits of my labor to them or insist that I own my property? What would force me to pay for other people's healthcare? The simple fact is, only through violence can the concept of socialism be achieved, and that is exactly what is wrong with socialism.
