You can walk them right up to the threshold of common sense, but then they just glaze over.<br /><br />At one point I asked Dick "As far as the health care thing, are you worried that the cost will go up, or that the quality will go down?"<br /><br />His answer..."Yes."<br /><br />Now, if I was talking to someone clever, I'd have been impressed by the singular answer to a compound question. But Dick is not a clever guy. So he just started stammering about Nazi Germany again. Reciting. <br /><br />He is the street corner equivalent of a bad telemarketer.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253196269498737011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-58199677878937895542009-09-03T17:08:03.262-05:002009-09-03T17:08:03.262-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147416487171740144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-49454042844935922212009-09-03T09:23:26.702-05:002009-09-03T09:23:26.702-05:00Awesome.

Convinced he was a genius, he combined his strong conviction in his own abilities with an arrogance expressed in the cadences of upper-class New England. He assumed that the comment in the Communist Manifesto that "a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class..." was written specifically for him. And he believed that the working class were lucky to obtain his services. LaRouche possessed a marvelous ability to place any world happening in a larger context, which seemed to give the event additional meaning, but his thinking was schematic, lacking factual detail and depth. It was contradictory. His explanations were a bit too pat, and his mind worked so quickly that I always suspected his bravado covered over superficiality. He had an answer for everything. Sessions with him reminded me of a parlor game: present a problem, no matter how petty, and without so much as blinking his eye, LaRouche would dream up the solution.[2Bitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150073935741844849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-54441514728403560532009-09-02T08:22:47.756-05:002009-09-02T08:22:47.756-05:00I did take the pamphlet.

It's just like I described it, an old black and white of Adolf Hitler laughing it up with 8 handsome young white people, and Obama has been photoshopped into it.<br /><br />I haven't read the whole thing, but it's broken down into 3 parts.<br /><br />1-End HMOs and rebuild the Hill-Burton Hospital system.<br /><br />2-Nazi Precedent for Obama Health Plan: It's now time to insist-NEVER AGAIN!<br /><br />3- Obama's Nazi Doctors and their "reforms."<br /><br />Astonishing.
