"carry the negative votes with pride". In other words, carry your lack of education and knowledge of the topic with pride. Carry your prejudice with pride.
If one looks at the responses here, most of the ones coming from those that can be described as likely conservatives are full of vitriol and inaccuracies. I've found that to be typical of their responses, based on many conversations over the past three years. There is little analytical acumen, and lots of finger pointing against the government; again; verbatim from ultra-right wing radio and TV.
I'll admit, my initial response to BB_apptix was a tad rude.
I'm tired of that same old "it's the government's fault" mantra. It is changing the subject to focus on the financial crisis in this conversation, but the financial crisis was primarily caused by a deregulated financial industry, not primarily because of government forcing bad loans on people. In order to realize the convoluted truth of that situation, one needs to do a lot of reading. I've done a lot, and yet I will not claim to be an expert. It's too complicated a subject. But what I find appalling is that the conservatives who claim to know without a shadow of a doubt that the government is the cause of all problems, don't do any research. I can tell from their comments. It's a shame.
