Brooks: The Root

[balli]

This column, Darrin, has nothing to do with Obama. And everything to do, with you.

@DarrinS:

Your resort to gay-baiting was not so much spontaneous as clearly foreshadowed.

(We heard you the first time.)

Nepotism is favoritism granted to relatives or friends, with no regard to merit.[1] The word nepotism is from the Latin word nepos (meaning "nephew" or "grandchild").

Beneficiary of a nepotist, then. Whatever.

I know exactly what nepotism is. Which was totally out of context with your next sentence...

Oh no. I'm a nepotist in the extreme. The difference being I don't worship it and selfishly/routinely cry for more.

The only logical conclusion was that you meant to use hedonist and are now trying to scratch and cover.

[balli]

I know exactly what nepotism is.

I know you do. Mr. self reliance.

[CosmicCowboy]

whats your point? Were you a test tube baby?

[balli]

You gripe and gripe and gripe about the Nazi like injustice of a 3.6% hike in capital gains tax, et al. And are not so much conservative fiscally, as you are selfish. On the regular.

So when you call me a , I like to point out what a hypocrite, product of en lement you are. That's my point.

tch tch tch

Jealousy is an ugly thing.

[balli]

Like I said, I know who I am. And am grateful. I don't think the same holds true for you though.

[CosmicCowboy]

I know I'm grateful I'm not you. You just come off as an angry hateful little .

Damn good article. Although, I don't agree with the subtle religion = self evaluation and self betterment innuendo made.

And do sticks like Darrin realize how big of a re ed head he looks like?

[Winehole23]

Can you two go private with this? The topical connection is non-existent at this point as are handles for third-parties. JMO.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!


LOL @ " sticks" and calling someone re ed in the same sentence.

[Winehole23]

(Sorry, vy65. Welcome.)

[Winehole23]

New flame war. Goody.

Do you have anything substantive to add to the subject of this conversation?

meh, like I said twice, I know who I am. I think we summed one another up pretty nicely.

[CavsSuperFan]

When I read a Bali post I immediately think of a person who is happy & centered…I can’t understand why Cosmic can’t see that?

[balli]

^ Ouch. Bad time for that post huh?

[LnGrrrR]

Eh, Brooks never has hindsight.

[CosmicCowboy]

Balli clearly doesn't understand subtle humor.

[TeyshaBlue]

David Brooks is terminally guilty of mental flabbiness. The OP consists of little more than the emotional appeal of Ms. Burney plus Brooks's grave nod to the toughness of our ancestors.

There is an odd synchronicity to the appearance of this thread relative to bouton's asinine muslim/christian/repug s game tho.

That the perception of Obama currying Muslim favor persists and in some circles, increases, lends some credence to Brook's observations....as do the cries of the synchophants of the left ala' boutons, and this week, Huffpo.

[TeyshaBlue]

Also Winehole's avatar = oddly disturbing.

[DarrinS]

David Books.


There's my contribution.

That's some hard thinkin'. Congrats, Cletus.
