I had a three speed Schwinn, I walked up certain hills.
Well, those manufacturers, namely Pacific Cycle is what Wal-Mart chooses to carry. I'm not slamming Wal-Mart in particular. What I'm slamming is the whole concept of the department store bicycles. There are quality bicycles out there that are affordable. Unfortuantely, you can't buy a bicycle that's not of extremely poor quality from a department store.
Exactly. By comparison, our president maintains a brisk 9mph up steep hills on a modern bicycle.
Ah.. In absense of anything intelligent, you proffer the standard treason lobby tact - anyone you don't like must by default be a commy, socialist or fascist for pointing out the immoral proclivities of some Rinos in our midst.
So instead of answering the question, because you know that such action by government IS socialist, you "proffer" a personal attack.
Well, at least we know that at heart you are a socialist.
Go back and read your nutbag post. Are you really that dense or just hoping no one can read..
And still you won't give an answer to the question.
Have a nice day, Mr. Socialist.
Merely labeling someone does not make your case. My history of argumentation belies your charge. Or are you so short sighted and obtuse to believe that your charge is leveled in a vacuum. Keep talking. Really. You make it too easy. You're like debating with a liberal.
So why not just answer the question I asked?
Why should I? Your question isn't offered as such - it is rather offered as a charge - hollow rhetoric. You have no defense for yourself so you must attempt to slander your opponent. Just like a bloody liberal dim. When you have no defense you strike out. Perhaps you're just projecting your own behavior on others in attempt to hide what you are from yourself.. who knows. You've already lost.
Exactly what is it you think I should be defending? Asking you what you think government involvement in business should be? That seems a reasonable question, especially considering you apparently see nothing wrong with government requiring businesses to provide certain benefits.
"Just like a bloody liberal dim."
Yes, you are behaving just as they do.
"attempt to hide what you are from yourself"
Exactly what do you think I am hiding? The fact that I don't think government should be telling businesses what benefits to provide? I've never hidden that. In fact, that is what started this entire discussion.
Clearly, you are afraid to give a straight answer the question. Very telling.
Since when did "the government telling business what benefits to provide" become part of the argument? I thought the market was supposed to decide that. Apparently it wasn't working in the favor of business who then decided to vault the market and go elsewhere in order to undermine the market from without.. Who needs government interference when Government helps business subvert the market - oh, wait, that's government interference.. shoot. Guess you got me.. I'm agains government interference. And I'm actually for the government interfering in it's own proclivity toward interfering.. or stopping in otherwords. Apparently, that is your beef. Though I thought your beef was that I was a socialist because I'm apparently supposed to be for interference?
Oh do stop wasting our time. It's boring and just makes you look worse.
