    Wow, 'marxist.' How original.

    Do you even know the difference between Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Marxism or do you just lump them altogether and think you are making a valid point using such tags?

    Twinkling is the functional equivalent of cheering or booing. The advantage it has over those two options is that it doesn't disrupt the speaker (or the meeting.)

    It's not very efficient. To express disagreement, I use a one finger twinkle.

    For emphasis, sometimes I'll use both hands. As long as I'm not driving.

    Facilitating meetings using hand signals is anti-business and an obvious plot to establish communism in America.

    Hey, do you have any idea what Double Dream Hands means? I didn't see it mentioned in the video.

    I actually find it refreshing over the nonsense that is:

    I think changes to parliamentary procedure as well as the first two Articles of the Cons ution are desperately needed.

    In the context of current debates over political ideology, forms of government, and economic systems - the difference is irrelevant. Suffice it to say, none of those ideologies would be characterized as free market, capitalistic, or politically conservative.

    , most of the people in the "Occupy" movement use the terms interchangeable, not understanding the difference. The group is just an amalgam of socialist, marxist, leninist, maoist, communist, anarchist anti-capitalists.

    The important point is none of them embrace the free mark capitalism that made this country unique and exceptional.

    That's the distinction that matters.

    Though popularized and refined by antiwar, civil rights and feminist movements, consensus decision making has its roots in Quaker meeting halls. The tie to Karl Marx is non-existent.

    Sorry the free mark capitalism of 1945-1995 was dismantled by deregulation. What do derivatives mean. Any intelligent analysis of successful government and economic policies across history comes to the fast conclusion that extremism towards ideology is rife with failure. The 19th century as well as the current clime speak to that just as China's diversification proves the opposite is true.

    Seeing how you and Darrin operate, every sign and speech that actually gave totalitarian proclivities by them would be smeared on here by you two in a heartbeat. I keep hearing the you, Darrin, Viva and WC repeat the McCarthy rhythm but i see no proof. What I do see is you guys show proof that some of them are dumb and not that they are political extremists. The closes I have seen was a sign that had a fist on it.

    Where is the call for nationalization of banking? I see get rid of the fed.

    Where are the calls for price or wage fixing? Of any of the tenets of 20th century totalitarian communism? There aren't any yet you s keep saying it.

    Yet you parrot the same over and over again.

    The Financial Sector needs to be reregulated and the status quo is not doing it. Additionally our elections and leaders are being selected by them and not us yet you circle those wagons around Citicorp.

    I have zero respect for you whatsoever. You and this type of thinking is what is perpetuating the mess that our country is in.

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. I know how to do it. I just don't know what it would mean in the context feedback to a speaker.

    If Darrin would stop posting ridiculous nonsense there would be no need to keep pointing out that his posts are ridiculous and nonsense.

    Nationalize the Banks!

    I'm pretty sure their calls for an unreasonable minimum wage and debt forgiveness could be classified as both wage fixing and price control.

    Yet you parrot the same over and over again.

    The Financial Sector needs to be reregulated and the status quo is not doing it. Additionally our elections and leaders are being selected by them and not us yet you circle those wagons around Citicorp.
    I don't owe any fealty to Citicorp. I'm defending the free-market capitalism of this country. I could care less if Citicorp prospers or fails. I was opposed to the bail outs. I think they should have all been allowed to fail. , many of them tried to refuse bailout money and then, tried to pay it back as quickly as possible - only to be rejected by the government.

    I have zero respect for you whatsoever. You and this type of thinking is what is perpetuating the mess that our country is in.
    You and Manny have some inexplicable need to share your personal assessment of people you don't know and have never met. I'm merely posting information I find and with which I agree. The explanations make sense to me.

    Whether or not I have your respect is really of no consequence whatsoever.

    Isn't this all about making fun of hand signals that are called "twinkles up" and "twinkles down".

    That first link was from 2009 and was from a random blogger. I have been asking for stuff that actually has to do with what we are talking about.

    So basically your entire body of evidence that this is just a totalitarian communist movement is a fist on a poster and a single guy in Portland that wants a $20 min wage?

    And i tell you my personal assessment as an explanation as to why I come after you as I do. I am not just being adversarial for kicks. I firmly believe that nothing is going to change with blind party partisans such as yourself running around.

    And do you really believe in complete laissez faire? Really?
