Very good catch

Thanks, DCB. Let us know if there's an answer. Who's the moderator? Jason Rosenbaum?

It's probably Roseybum.

Who calls progressives "Naderites" and "politically infantile." He's FDL's version of Bowers.

So, your concept of calling bullshit on infantilization ...

... is "Roseybum"? Sheesh. As I'm now saying for the second time.

I never claimed the high ground.

I know, that was bad of me.

no answer so far

and I don't imagine there will be.

I posted this in the hope that it would show up in assorted Google News alerts.

See here for examples

I tested it.

Then left them a news tip.

I'll post on this tomorrow, but in the meantime, do feel free to email them and ask.

zing!

well done!

that maybe explains why i got banned

from commenting there. i was all the time including links to pnhp in my comments. all this time i just figured it was some glitch that ate my password or something, but now i'm wondering....

i finally opened a new account [though i don't comment, or read, there very much at all these days].

So if "progressives" like to censor non-progressive ideas...

... that makes them different from conservatives how, exactly? Aside from the tribal tatoos?

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
