If you'd like to post the thread, I'd be happy to take a look. However, you're not getting off on a technicality here. There is no "ruling" in America in the sense you're talking about. Thus for any American to use the term with regard to the U.S. government the definition MUST default to the meaning of governing. That's the only logical way of looking at it. Trying to invent or infer a different meaning is moot.How long is it going to take you to understand this point? I'd rather debate you on more meaningful misunderstandings of yours, and I'm sure the other people here have better things to do than watch you attempt to resurrect a debate you thought you won.

Go find the thread yourself you lazy urchin. If you spent as much time working on your deficient memory as you do spreading bullshiit you wouldn't have so much trouble remembering all the nonsense you've attempted to float here.IP: Logged |

As Bugs would say...and Bugs is more in touch with reality than you...."What a Maroon!". A member of the "wannabe ruling class was speaking. Slum-lord Valarie Jarrett; our numb-nuts president's advisor. This is the source of the out of the mouth quote..."this president is ready to "RULE" on day one". Action verb RULE; intransitive form; no direct object. VERB: intr. "To be in total control or command; exercise supreme authority." I can't help your deficient education acoustic. I can't help your deficient memory. Nor can I help it that you're way past the date you should have transitioned to the conservative phase of your life...if you had a brain. Now, go turn on Rush. He's probably the only one who can get you turned around. IP: Logged |

You know, Jwhop I DID look up your name aside Valerie's, and I didn't find anything where I'd said anything about ruling. I'm not the lazy one between us. Virtually everything you think is true of me, is more true of yourself. Refusing to post the thread makes it appear as if your claims about your own memory are in error. The only person constantly floating nonsense here continues to be you. Everyone knows this.The argument still stands, however, that there doesn't need to be an object. We're in America where politicians NEVER rule in the sense that you're using the word. Since this is true, any use of the word in relation to an American politician would have to mean govern. It's just common sense. As I said in my previous post, how long is it going to take you to understand this very simple point? Rush could never turn me around. Only an open-minded, level-headed, fair-minded person can influence me. IP: Logged |

You know, even looking at the other intransitive verb definitions of rule worsens your case:v.intr. 1. To be in total control or command; exercise supreme authority. 2. To formulate and issue a decree or decision. 3. To prevail at a particular level or rate: Prices ruled low. 4. Slang To be excellent or superior: That new video game rules! We know the President doesn't have "total control," so that's out (though some supreme authority is in his hands). Presidents are considered excellent or superior, though. IP: Logged |

I haven't lost. In fact, I just employed your strategy here against you. You think you can define her meaning of "rule" without asking her for clarification. If you can do that, then anyone can. Or, we can show a little common sense and understand that your version of what she meant is no where near the likely one. What's more, you don't even seem to realize we're of the same understanding where governance is concerned. You believe Obama doesn't "rule" in some absolute way as you've assigned to that woman, and neither do I. Nor have I ever. We're arguing over what SHE meant, which clearly isn't what you've made her out to mean. It's another case of you turning someone into a bogeyman that otherwise wouldn't be. It's extraordinarily wishful thinking on your part to think you've won every argument we've had. Being charitable I'd say you have less than a 10% win rate, which is pretty pathetic. It's not me whose on the wrong side of every issue. It's verifiably you. You don't view things right, and you've garnered more people telling you so than I've ever seen elsewhere. That's a pretty poor record. IP: Logged |

"What's more, you don't even seem to realize we're of the same understanding where governance is concerned."...acousticDon't even try to pull this crap with me acoustic. You tried to argue that RULE and GOVERN means the same thing. But the argument centered around what Valarie Jarrett said, namely..."this president is ready to RULE on day one." You attempted to defend Jarrett's use of the word RULE when no defense is possible. We don't talk about RULING in America acoustic and we especially don't use the intransitive form of the verb RULE! 1. To be in total control or command; exercise supreme authority. We'll leave that bullshiit to Castro, Chavez and the rest of the murderous communist dictators IP: Logged |

If anyone's pulling any crap here, it's obviously you. This is a non-issue you're trying to make a federal case out of. It's complete and utter nonsense. quote: You tried to argue that RULE and GOVERN means the same thing.
I didn't "try" to argue that. I pointed out the truth of that. quote: We don't talk about RULING in America acoustic and we especially don't use the intransitive form of the verb RULE!
People do. People say that different things "rule" all the time. You're showing a complete, blatent lack of objectivity here. You've "tried" to assign a meaning to her use of "rule". You've done so without her consultation, and you've done so without any sort of consideration of the political reality in our nation. The fact remains that "rule" in relation to governing in America has NEVER EVER meant anything other than legal governing. Therefore, for you to sit there and whine and attempt to preach and demonize this woman is moot. It's BS pure and simple, and there AREN'T two ways around it. Now, the President is the Commander in Chief as well, so in that sense he does exercise the supreme authority as is given him by the Constitution of the United States. Get a grip! IP: Logged |

AG:Thanks for the Ailes smack down, the EWS bit...not on par. posting a reply from that page... Michael- quote: Michael replied | 23 hours ago Wow, thanks for that link and hot scoop, Shayne! Yeah, so what's next from your scoop machine...that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were dyed-in-the-wool communists that had to be executed for treason! The mere fact that regressive Repugnants see no shades of gray (or other colors for that matter) and maybe just black-and-white for the last 60-plus years is reflected in the fact that Far Right fearmongerers still regularly equate "socialism" with "communism" in totalitarian terms. In fact, the average Far Right/Tea-bagging dunderhead still equate Naziism with being "leftist" when it is the exact opposite in the same kind of Far Rightist, protect-the-industrialist/wealthiest classes of people but annihilate any outside "left," democratic opposition (like good ole Adolf used to espouse through his hatred of "leftist Jews" and "Bolshevik Russians" on the Eastern Front of WWII). Tragically, any hint of the endangered "intellectual" voices of the Republican party over 60 years ago -- such as the great former Allied commander and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, late NY Gov. and Veep Nelson Rockefeller and even ex-Pres. Richard Nixon -- have been long gone and replaced by shallow, empty-headed corporatist sock puppets like Mitt Romney, Scarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. It's the Far Rightism, bordering on Fascism, which has led to record deficit spending on two wars and $800 billion in TARP corporate welfare bailouts -- thanks to the previous two terms of the Bush Jr.-Cheney "scorched earth" regime! Basically, "fiscal conservativism" is an utter fallacy and it is only the Far Right brand of out-of-control corporate welfare and war spending that is acceptable???!!!! Tell me, Shayne, here in America we have a world-leading $15 trillion-plus in federal debt (thanks to both of the corporate-owned two-party system doing in their best mind-f**king style for the last 40-plus years!), but there are countries around the world practicing various forms of "SOCIALISM" in their governmental systems and NONE of them have America's unique style of largely unregulated "Capitalist" corporate gluttony or anywhere near our world-leading national debt -- and socialist countries generally have higher standards of living, higher life expectancies (because they mostly feature NONPROFIT-based Universal Healthcare systems), higher levels of education and much less personal debt (mostly free of American-style predatory bank credit and lending practices). In other words, I'm joining Jon Stewart in saying, "I'm a PROUD independent Progressive/Leftist Democratic Socialist (in the mold of the great INDEPENDENT Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders!) who will stand up and fight the Far Right on fascist-style military interventionism and corporate welfare any day, any month and any year that there is THREAT to independent, leftist thinking and political movements." One last thing, you Far Righters need to find your sense of humor and some kind of political satirist that could hold Jon Stewart's jock strap. You Far Righters used to have that former SNL comic Dennis Miller, but where the hell did that guy run or jump off the cliff to? Can't Miller find a job working with Roger Ails again on the Fux News Channel to do his own satirical routines to counter Stewart's leftist humor???!!! It's just sad that Far Righters lack any sense of humor...or logic to realize their ideology is bankrupt and bat-**** nuts!!!! Oh wait, maybe Donald Trump's regurgitation of the "Birther" stuff about Obama is yet again his unintentional effort at making him "Class Clown" of this country once again??!!! ;-D
Guy reminds me of the Kevin Smith character here-> I'd listen to Dennis Miller edit: at least Miller is funny, and contrary to the reading comprehension challenged, [see below from psychic software] I do not love him. Attention hos, what would the net be without them? IP: Logged |
