You are unlikely to manage it by force of wit, that is certain. Remember your personality forbids use of more than two digits of your IQ at any single juncture, as evinced by your voting choice and your anti-Republican irrationalities. In any case, my working assumption is I will be the one able to kick your ribs to flinders, boot your balls up into your medulla, gouge your eyes, snap your elbows and knees backwards, bust your teeth out on my patio rail and tie your ears in a knot. Then I'll be warmed up enough to get rough.

It is apparent that underneath, you know you have erred in attributing anything libertarian to Obama -- or your reaction would never have been so intemperate and at such length, too. But ohhhh, no -- can't confess to having been so signally fooled -- when I was not fooled and current events prove me accurate. Might sour your narcissism just the least little bit; can't have that.

Dance to your tune, did you say? You who have not managed to vex or annoy me enough to even put you on Ignore? Suuuuuuure you can make me dance, Rad...iolarian.

Hell, what's the likelihood Obama received ANY Libertarian's vote? -- pointedly excluding you from that company. I think I'll trust Reason magazine over the ideas of some gratuitously assholic jerk on the Internet. I'm too good a man to bow to any person of that description, besides which I am the classy one here, as our respective postings show.

See, that is why UG missed out on the peace prize this year.

Yep. He's a real keyboard commando. I love how each and every post he makes fits the pattern I described. Once again I've nailed him to the wall and all he can do is make empty denials.

I have to admit, though, there aren't too many people who would threaten to boot your balls up into your medulla.

Although I am left wondering just what kind of kick this would be:
Medical uses include:

* Medulla oblongata, a part of the brain stem
* Renal medulla, a part of the kidney
* Adrenal medulla, a part of the adrenal gland
* Medulla ossea, the marrow inside a bone
* Medulla spinalis, an alternative name for the spinal cord
* Medulla of ovary
* Medulla of thymus
* Medulla of lymph node
* Medulla (hair)

Non-medical uses of the term include:

* Medúlla, a 2004 music album by Icelandic singer Björk
* Medulla, Florida, a U.S. city
* Las Médulas, Ancient Roman gold mines in León, Spain
* Medulla Grammatice or Medulla Grammaticae, a fifteenth-century Latin–Middle English dictionary.

Probably the latter. He's probably got a collection of them.

Radar is more the keyboard commando than he is the politician, that is abundantly certain. He's hands down the most impolitic man I know. Impeached on the facts, he tries to bully his way out of the pitfall he's in -- of all things! Failure is his consequent lot -- he can't argue the merits of a case that has none, and he isn't even trying to argue on the merits. This nonlibertarian dumbshit voted to buy the destruction of the American economy and the US dollar, in part by the buying of inflation through trillion-dollar deficit spending. Thanks for doing your bit to fuck up my Republic, you socialist-Democratic-voting, inflation-buying, maybe-antifascist-war-losing, Republican-hating asswipe. What is the daily fate of an asswipe? To be covered in shit in normal use.

My "pattern," such as it is, is the pattern of a better, more rational, and humbler man than you are, Radar. I like it that way. I am what better mannered than you looks like, I am what better-read than you sounds like. We're not intellectual equals? True enough; I am immeasurably your moral superior, as your posts show. My personality does not attack my own intellect.

I'm humble, take my word for it. In fact I am more humble then you are. I LOLed. I couldn't make this stuff up. This is true entertainment. I would like to thank you two, UG and Radar, for brightening my day today. Right when I was feeling a little of the ole mid-deployment blues. Thanks guys.

Glad to cheer you up Joe. Any time my humiliating and destroying UG will brighten your day, let me know and I'll do it again. After all it's effortless because I'm his intellectual, social, moral, and physical superior. But then again, so is pretty much everyone else here. He's upset because I'm more libertarian than he is, and while President Obama is not a libertarian, he's more libertarian than the other candidates and more libertarian than UG himself.

I voted for a more fiscally responsible president than we had with George W. Bush. But then again, over the last 30 years Democrats have always been more fiscally responsible than Republicans if you go by how much each administration has increased the national debt.

That chart doesn't make me feel good at all. It makes me ill just looking at it. Sure, the Republicans are much worse, but the debt is still growing. Look at the debt as a percentage of GDP. We were at 33% at the end of Carter's term, and we are at 83% now? That sucks no matter how you look at it.

Not to worry, glatt. We're only paying $200,000,000,000 a year interest on that debt.

Most of it is going to China and Japan.

Here's a complete list.

When you adjust for inflation, eliminate defense spending, social programs and everything other than discretionary domestic spending, George W. Bush grew government faster than any other president in modern times (President Johnson forward) and he vetoed spending bills less than any other president. He grew government at double the rate of Bill Clinton.
