Even the Opal chick blocked me on Twitter and I never insulted her, just trying to let her know that in Venezuela all lives matter. Maybe she assumed I meant white lives?Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-1482987290777984372016-11-19T05:21:53.014+01:002016-11-19T05:21:53.014+01:00Besides the obvious that I will write about what t...Besides the obvious that I will write about what the fuck I want to write about (The alt-right should not have all the fun), I fail to see your point. You voted for Clinton I Assume? Not clear. You were part of the loiterers? Which may be one reason you left Venezuela since we have been loitering for soon 18 years for nothing.<br /><br />At any rate my text was not designed to bring any comfort to whomever.

Which is more than can be said...<b>Yes, but, he tried. Which is more than can be said for the democratic bulk.</b><br />Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman tried? Well, at least he wrote something. But what did he write? In summary, this is what he wrote: "I didn't understand the country we live in. I didn't realize how bigoted/racist/sexist it was." That is not very trying hard at all. That is merely recycling an old Democrat meme: our opponents are <b>racist/bigot/intolerant/deplorable/unredeemable/sexist/stupid/Islamophobe/homophobe</b> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yygMhtNQJ9M" rel="nofollow">we're not.</a> I call it the Chevy Chase approach."I'm Chevy Chase and you're not" becomes "You're racist and I'm not."<br />[Which is why Democrats despise the likes of Peter Thiel and Thomas Sowell, no? Diversity in thought is bad, apparently.] <br /><br />BTW Daniel, if you haven't already, you might research the sexual orientation of some of the top BLM people. Of course, political orientation is what counts. Just to point out that there is a lot of diversity in the sexual orientation/political orientation intersection. Political scoundrels are found in all kinds of boxes.<br /><br /><b>And which may mean that my 2006 effort was more to your liking?</b><br />Well, yes. For one thing, you know Venezuela a lot better than Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman knows the US. And that is with there being much greater transparency of information in the US than in Venezuela. A further point is that Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman has a history of being way off the mark. Such as his predicting the stock market would tank if Trump were elected. Put this into a YouTube search: <i>krugman get p3ned on canadian healthcare.</i><br /><br />There were a lot of places that voted for Obama in 2012 that went for Trump in 2016. So these places were not racist for voting for Obama in 2012, but according to Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman, they were racist in 2016 for voting for Trump. Or are they now sexist?<i>Dime/decime otro de vaqueros. </i><br /><br />In my hometown, Hillary's percentage of the vote was 14% below what Obama got in 2012. [14/100] BTW, this 14% decrease wasn't a case of Democrat voters staying home, as turnout was greater in 2016. [Yes, voters staying home in Detroit had a result.] If one accuses the voters of my hometown of being sexist for not voting for Hillary as much as they did for Obama, I would point out that they have voted for a female candidate for governor. <br />Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-46167168344002470842016-11-16T12:29:18.466+01:002016-11-16T12:29:18.466+01:00Nice to see you can always dig yourself out from t...Nice to see you can always dig yourself out from the dirty hole you lurk from.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-77982576756293156172016-11-16T12:27:02.964+01:002016-11-16T12:27:02.964+01:00I think you need to learn to read properly.

Fuck..."dumb rednecks that voted for him"<br /><br />Fuck you.

From December 2015: <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tom-blumer/2015/12/10/black-lives-matter-co-founder-and-blm-movement-hearts-venezuelas" rel="nofollow">Black Lives Matter Co-Founder and BLM Movement Hearts Venezuela's Maduro.</a> Love the tweet BLM Co-Founder Opal Tometti sent: <i>Currently in Venezuela. Such a relief to be in a place where there is intelligent discourse.</i><br /><br />Goodness gracious! <br /><br />Daniel, you might reserve some of your well-deserved wrath at Hillary, who has been friendly with BLM. In the current climate in the US, Republicans who object to BLM will get the "racist" label thrown at them.<br /><br /><b>Since you feel so superior to the Trump voter (or the chavista voter as the case may be) do as Paul Krugman did or I did in 2006, write about it, think about it, understand why your side lost, allow yourself to be bitter, to think the worst of the other side, to grieve, but remain constructive.</b><br /><br />I would not term Krugman's essay thoughtful and constructive. Here is an excerpt:<br /><br /><br /><i>What we do know is that people like me, and probably like most readers of The New York Times, truly didn’t understand the country we live in....<br />We thought that the nation, while far from having transcended racial prejudice and misogyny, had become vastly more open and tolerant over time.<br /><br />We thought that the great majority of Americans valued democratic norms and the rule of law.<br /><br />It turns out that we were wrong. There turn out to be a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy. </i><br /><br />Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman: "I've corrected my mistake. Now I understand the American people." No, Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman, you haven't corrected your mistake- you've compounded it. <br /><br />About the only game the Democrats have these days is to throw insults at those who disagree with them; racist/bigoted/sexist/homophobic/islamophobic/deplorables/unredeemable. And more. Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman did more of the same when he claimed to NOW understand the American people. But then, it is exceedingly difficult for a pompous ass, of which Herr Dr. Nobel Laureate Krugman is a prime example, to understand the American people.<br /><br />Disclosure: I used to vote Democrat.Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-52505619803598804712016-11-13T05:32:41.434+01:002016-11-13T05:32:41.434+01:00First the Soviet Union, now Europe, is it still un...First the Soviet Union, now Europe, is it still unthinkable that the 50 stars go their merry way eventually?Charlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-63936195823298358172016-11-12T08:33:46.275+01:002016-11-12T08:33:46.275+01:00Trump will be a good President.
