In a debate with one of the hopeless ideologues from the Center for American Progress, I criticize the corrupt deals between big government and big business, I warn about the big tax increases scheduled to take effect next year, I explain that Republicans did Obama a favor by blocking a bill to subsidize unemployment, and I laugh at the notion that government spending stimulates an economy.

Michael Linden reminds me of what is typical of the Elite Left – th arrogant attitude that says “I know more than you, I’m better than you – shut up and let me run your life.”
He kept chuckling when things came up that he disagreed with. The PotUS does it too. Someone should tell them that such tells do not indicate intellect but rather smug superiority.
What’s really funny is that when Hoover is mentioned, he says, “Hoover?!,” as though you were talking about some ancient Greek bureaucrat. Two possibilities; he either really has no idea what you are talking about because his knowledge of history doesn’t exceed 5 years, or, he honestly believes it’s totally irrelevant (because his knowledge of history doesn’t exceed 5 years).
In any case, his knowledge of history doesn’t exceed 5 years.
There are a great many closely held beliefs on the left that are so obviously false, it has become beyond religion for them.
After all, no one can disprove the existence of god. But they still hold firm to concepts that have been proven wrong time and time again.
