• Avatar: Liberal Plot to convert our children to sin and degradation? Cynical ‘something for everyone’ to get every single person on the planet to buy a ticket? Eye-rolling fairytail pandering to white men who always get to be (seem to need to be) the hero saving the savages and getting the girl.
• Senate Race: Issues or Person? Who do you vote for? Who do you like, Coakley or Brown?
• Moral Hazard and Bankruptcies – if banks are walking away from their debt, and businesses are walking away from their debt, why shouldn’t individuals walk away from their debt too? (and if they can’t, then shouldn’t we make the bankers pay too)
• The Know Nothings from the mid 1800s and our Tea Partiers: You wouldn’t believe the similarities!
