    I have no idea who the Dallas Mavericks are or Manchester United. I assume they are all men who play with their balls?

    Ayn Rand died with the crash of the economy in 2008. The free market failed. In particular, market discipline failed. The assumption that companies will act in their own best interest, failed.

    The republicans haven't come to grips with this yet. They still live in the fantasy world of Ayn Rand and Reaganomics [which I strongly supported]. The Republicans no longer have an economic platform. That is why we have trump. They abandoned conservatism. But they still think they are conservatives. LOL! It is the most blatant case of mass cognitive dissonance I can remember witnessing.

    No. The Philistines sought dominance over other peoples. Which is the keystone of the modern leftist.

    Government is not a tool to achieve your agenda. It is a safeguatd against agendas.


    If the constitution is not your agenda then you aren't American it's that simple.

    Wht is it people who percieve themselves to be high thinkers only ever come up with ways to subjugate other people?

    Harold bloom is an idiot I don't care what he teaches or thinks he knows..

    Individual liberty Is the highest ideal in human history. Anyone coming up with odeas that opposr it are 1. Unintelligible and 2. objectively wrong.

    Mark Cuban wants to be President. A lot of billionaires, once they saw Trump had done it, thought that they could do it to. Faceberg explored the idea and did a "listening tour" before I think concluding that he doesn't have the personality for it. Cuban on the other hand, does have the personality for it. He's been appearing on news talking heads TV shows for several years to pontificate and get his face and name out there to the politically aware crowds.

    Changing your entire political outlook in your sixties could mean:

    1) He never really know what he believed and is changing his beliefs based on the current national fear and hysteria.

    2) It's a calculated move to appeal to Democratic voters. He may figure that Biden will have to be replaced at the convention and wants to make himself acceptable to that kind of crowd once the nomination is up in the air again.

    How can he be an elitist scum if he is losing boatloads of money with the NBA season suspended? I would have thought that title would be leveled at an individual whose business was not impacted by the shutdown.

    Who cares what Mark Cuban thinks?

    Has he ever called you?

    Has he ever made you a sandwich?

    People - including elitist scum - do what they feel is in their ultimate best interest.

    He appears to have political aspirations, and is throwing in with the panic mongers to destroy the country.

    Complete & utter scum.

    So how, exactly, is it in Cuban's best interest to see the economy continue to be shut down?

    The only thing worse than a philistine is an ideological philistine. Who else can declare a man to be an idiot without knowing what he thinks?

    What is the point of living if one is so rigidly close minded?

    You can attain individual liberty easily enough. Just get on a bus, go to the North Woods in Maine, and never come back. You can have all the liberty you want and we won't have to listen to you anymore.

    By acting as a pandering, self-serving traitor to the country and its people.

    If you start a thread in O&B and we can discuss why sociopathic billionaires do what they do; sick & dangerous bunch.

    I understand you don't like liberals and you detest the wealthy - but I've yet to understand the rationale behind your criticisms, specifically, of Cuban. How is he self serving? And how has he pandered?

    Excellent; Cuban is a powerful sociopath. Sociopaths are. By attempting to keep the country in lockdown.

    Gain power by taking the sides of the powerless? You would think if he were really smart he would toady up to power. He would take the sides of the powerful. Wouldn't you concur?

    Cuban's not doing that; he's trying to destroy the country and the working class; he's a sociopath. That's what he's doing. Of course.

    He is taking the side of the working class by calling for a higher minimum wage and a government jobs program.
    Look around you. The working class is already destroyed.

    He's spouting pandering garbage with no chance of enactment while simultaneously demanding that lockdowns continue with impossible standards for reopening; he's sociopathic, sniveling, two-faced scum. I am; people like Cuban want more money and power, and may get civil war. On that we can almost agree; it's in critical condition.

    Next stop: Civil war

    And what actions, other than wanting to extend a lockdown, qualify Cuban as a sociopath? And, do ALL people who want to extend the lockdown sociopaths?

    Hire minimum wages hurts by forcing employers to look Elsewhere for labor.

    I government that is losing money faster than revenue comes in cannot hire more people..

    Stealing from the successful to pay for government waste is evil..

    In short communism/ socialism is evil and stupid. Literally and objectively.
    Debates to the contrary are factually incorrect.

    Wanting to control peoples behavior beyond preserving the basic rights of others makes you a sociopath.
    An example wanting to control what firearms a person owns and carries makes you a sociopath.
