Oakland School Administration to hire scabs

That's how they do business. When they have to engage in a real discussion (since this is a discussion forum) they can't back up their arguments/assertions (if they manage to come up with a coherent one that isn't simply regurgitated FOX news/AM-nut-radio soundbites) with sources, links, facts. And when presented with information that is contrary to what their beloved idiot Bush-bots have told them, they run, dismiss it by attacking the source, or simply flame/name call. Typical. Seen it soooooomany times. When they learn some critical thinking skills, get a alittle education, and stop repeating Bill O'Reilly, maybe they'll be taken seriously. Oh, and become willing to have a real dialogue, not just cowardly hit and run inflammatory comments.....

Steve refuses to engage in any type of debate. He's a repeat offender in his fairly obsessive troll behavior. I get the feeling he's a liberal who got mugged type. So he should be 86'd in my opinion. He's a distraction.

That said, I'm not for deleting right wing comments, generally speaking (though there's probably some exceptions).

This is a most excellent analogy. I suppose it has a history, doesn't it? I love it because it reveals a deeper truth: any "liberal" who turns rabid conservative because their wealth was threatened was a wolf in sheeps clothing all along anyway

Either had some traumatic expereince and unresolved fear, or gave into his lower nature--greed, self-centeredness/selfishness--all the weaknessess that US-style capitalism plays to and nurtures.....
Steve and his ilk are actually victims, and just don't realize it.

Fear is the entire basis of far right politics. They're all terrified babies, vigilant against anyone overturning their bassinet. I'm no fan of psychological "science" (Maslow for one was a PR shrink par excellence), but here's a research team that's gone rogue
