And then they moved on after the raffle
Rejecting government control of the internet
Too much Federal power into our privacy
This one seems to be another
Except that large swaths of the left think just like Sunstein - "Fairness Doctrine", seminar callers to CSPAN, the White House "war on Fox News", Associated Press "fact checking" that accepts leftist dogma as true and rejects as false anything that doesn't toe the party line, the suppression of science that questions man-made climate change, the disparaging of citizen participation in "Tea Parties" as 'astroturfing' and 'extremism', ad nauseum...
No.
These people are NOT crazy. Insanity is, generally speaking, medical in nature and rarely the fault of the patient.
These people are evil, plain and simple evil.
Don’t make excuses for them.
It’s a rogue govt. and in the absence of true checks and balances, it will spin (us) out of control.
“Now, many of you on the right poo-pooed me before and during the election regarding the company 0bama kept and his many nefarious connections with radicals. I hope you won’t make the same mistake again.”
They will. Many of the posters here in FR land are in the process of stuffing their collective heads in the sand - I think it is mostly because they are too young to remember/know what this country used to be like. What they think they know about those times comes from the telly and the movies.
Too many others are busy touting their machismo and testosterone. They won’t “hear” the warnings until what they fear is walking in their bedroom doors at 3 AM. Then, like Rambo or some other superhero they will spring into action - they imagine.
They refuse to repeat the mantra by which all wars are won: planning, logistics and communication.
Makes me very sad.
A government made up of the insane.
Back then, many FReepers were registered under several names but that was curbed back in 03 or so when IPs were cross referenced. I don't know what they are doing now to prevent this, but because of the purges, it actually made it easier for them to blend in.
You will see them working hard on the immigration threads when that topic comes back. I don't look forward to it. Not at all.
I bet myself money that some idiot was going to try and hammer me for saying the truth. You now have answered your own question and proved my point.
You have the thinnest possible skin and this makes it very easy for them to cause disruption on a thread and get you to attack your friends and your candidates.
It's all too easy.
Sunstein is another Hitler or Ed Gein

“Makes me very sad.”
Me too, PIF.
I was raised by my grandparents (grandfather was a WWII vet) and around a few Russians in the midwest.
If this isn’t the communist takeover that they’ve been working on for decades, then communism never existed.
And that’s just the way people act, as if communism is just legend, or some kind of dark fairy tale.
Hell, Pol Pot was murdering millions in the 70’s. It wasn’t that long ago, folks.
There are untold horrors happening in China, right this very second. “But those people had a great opening show for the Olympics, and they made my computer, and my cell phone, they can’t be all that bad, can they?”
Communism is still with us, and it is still trying to murder you and your families.
I feel like I’m falling sometimes when I look around at what is happening to this country. It appears to go unnoticed by Americans, for the most part.
I guess, like you say, until it awakens them at 3am with the sound of cartridge being loaded into the chamber, they won’t bother opening their eyes.
We’ll see.
They know not what they do.
The short answer is I do not know how similar they are.
I just looked it up and I read that Neuro-Linguistic Programming suggests "that all behaviour has structure" so I guess maybe it is related.
Sunstein, et al see that we masses can be manipulated but as I understand their version is based upon marketing techniques such as how merchandise is displayed in retail outlets, supermarkets for example.
My only exposure to Sunstein has been book reviews and a couple of radio interviews. See the several reviews of his book Nudge for choice architecture and how they can nudge us to make the right decisions -- we still get to decide but with them naming the choices thus "libertarian paternalism."
“These people are evil, plain and simple evil.
Don’t make excuses for them.”
Thank you.
And that they “Mean well” in their attempts to help you don your shackles does not remove the need of a (name your weapon of choice) to help them on their way back to their rightful place, beneath a rock.
Name a serial killer who didn’t believe himself in the right as he drained the life from his victims.
In short order these ‘kind-hearted’ commies will run a bullet through your skull in a frozen field somewhere to stop your mouth, and hold on to their power.
Sound extreme? Time and rot have a way of turning the ‘kind-hearted’ into vicious, unfeeling animals.
If you could discuss it with the hundreds-of-millions of ghosts that these, the ‘kind-hearted’, have made, they would concur, I assure you.
“It’s all too easy.”
Too easy to delude yourself.
1. I did not “try to hammer you.” If you thought that was “hammering,” I guess you must have had that “thin-skinned” jibe ready to hand because it is so often leveled at you. (I may hammer you now, but that would be just for being a jerk, and not for any drivel you spew about Governor Palin or her supporters.)
2. Your assertion that I have proved your point (that Palin supporters have political blinders on) is laughable. Like a leftard, you simply make up whatever is convenient for you.
3. Calmly asking for clarification of what appears to be a derogatory remark is in no way indicative of a thin skin, as any reasonable person can plainly see. (Leaving one to wonder, “Why didn’t this Cold Heat guy see it? Or did he see it, and just decide that any old stick is good enough for picking a fight?”)
This illusory thin skin, you say, “makes it very easy for them (You?) to cause disruption on a thread and get you to attack your friends and your candidates.”
1. In this exchange, it appears to me that you’re the one who is attacking “your friends and your candidates” and causing disruption. Why should I think you behave better on other threads?
2. Your unwarranted assumption that Governor Palin’s supporters are thin-skinned and easily provoked looks to me like the sort of misonception commonly harbored by demonrats and other liberal scum.
3. The knotted-panty hysteria you displayed when asked a simple question is grossly disproportionate to anything said to you. Unreasonably so.
In view of the above, I have to ask: Is that agit-prop, or just the high-pitched shrieking of the thin-skinned?
My money is on both.
So even the young "with their whole lives ahead of them" will get no treatment at all except incineration; or transport in the biohazard bag to the solid waste landfill.
No, they're sold for parts to research facilities.
NO sarcasm.

eugenics.
Talk about a deal with the devil.
Human extermination, right under our noses.
Socially acceptable, no less.
Even by “conservatives”.
The truly insane part is that we believe there is no price to pay for this.
Ha! We’re baby-killers! What WON’T we do to one another?
How do we square this one with the Universe?
We’re toast.
When the Universe calls this debt, I’m one of the few who won’t be asking: “Why us? Why this country?”
Dude. Seriously...
Who are you!?
I didn’t do it.
