Was Gerson really trying to say that Trump gives a better blow job that Clinton? Inquiring minds want to know. Does Gerson have photos or personal accounts verifying his claim to this age old political skill, that he claims Trump has a leg up on Clinton in the world of Presidential political fellatio.<br /><br />What a maroon.Pagan in reposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672171716049151342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-40861848654001610082016-01-09T11:10:11.207-06:002016-01-09T11:10:11.207-06:00"...humane ideal at the heart of the party......"...humane ideal at the heart of the party..."<br /><br />That's some major league denial there.Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469262537314894217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-76117033059349272282016-01-09T05:21:14.029-06:002016-01-09T05:21:14.029-06:00Interesting bit of trivia: I finally looked up the...Interesting bit of trivia: I finally looked up the source of the clip with Joey Bishop, "The Guide to the Married Man".

Abe himself was of course pretty much a <a href="http://rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln97.html" rel="nofollow">Marxist avant la lettre</a>: <br /><br />"And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." (1847, a year before The Communist Manifesto)<br /><br />Burke invented conservatism in 1789 after the taking of the Bastille, when he turned from somewhat sensible though incredibly partisan Whig to terrorized reactionary dominated by fear of an imminent takeover by the bloodthirsty mob. That terror is what they all have in common with the emotions Trump inspires. It's the only content they have, publicly. Privately, of course, they have the aim of protecting the worst, most criminal elements of the ruling class to pollute and exploit and destroy. Trump and Rubio and Cruz and Bush seem different in the kinds of terror they evoke, but they're all alike in the matters they care about, deregulating the activities of the rich and shifting the tax burden to the poor.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58905361453444090612016-01-08T16:55:16.857-06:002016-01-08T16:55:16.857-06:00Looks good on them, doesn't it.
