Brain, while I don't totally disagree with you, you could justas easily write up a very simplistic version about "rightdom" that would make us sound just as bad.
I could write up a version that would make them sound much worse.

There are three pillars of right wing thought in Sweden.  Unfortunately they were made by IKEA so one didn't come in the box and the other two are pretty wobbly.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Too crude to be an effective troll.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Oh, I thought my joke was pretty good. :(

Now that was too weak to be an effective troll on Raz :contract:

It's hard to troll me.  You have to discovered what will piss off the Lords of Isometry who live in my brain.  They have a unique perspective on things.

That's why best are true (classical, if you will) liberals. They don't want your money and they don't want laws banning everything they don't like, plus not all of them are stupid.

They are a dying breed, I give you that much.

No, the best are the true (classical, if you will) conservatives.  They figure everything is pretty damn good as it is, so why go messing things up.

Sweden is a Socialist hellhole.

I'm not out to make the Left look bad. I want to understand them. The Pillars work.

To fight the Left, we must understand the Left. We can ill afford another Klendathu.

1 & 3 have the right written all over them.
As does number 2 to an extent. Its all about YOU pay for it yourself, whether you can afford it or not. If you can't then its your failing.

With three pillars of leftdom and three pillars of rightdom we only need one more for the Seven Pillars of Wisdom! :w00t:

With the three pillars of leftdom and the three pillars of rightdom I fear we will still need seven more pillars for the seven pillars of wisdom.  :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You probably will get the next few. With college football here I'm devoting most of my thought energy more toward the lines of brady hoke fat jokes.  :P
