Pseudo-intellectual? I'm somehow better than you? I'm an elite, dude. Two degrees from top schools in 5 years and graduated in the top 1/3 of my class. That's right, I earned my education and my access to high paying work. I also served my country where I learned many valuable skills and achieved access to a wide range of decision makers. My second language is on the State Department list of critical languages. How is it that this is something to be ashamed of in Republican circles? It cracks me up. I'm an elite and proud of it. I now work in international finance and I get paid. And what does that education and training get me? The ability to critically analyze both sides of an argument. I accept data from anywhere so long as it is factual. You can make up your own opinions but you can't make up your own facts. (I can't remember who said it first).Quote:

I'll take the elite please. When someone is appointed to manage a nuclear power plant in your city who do you want at the controls, an elite nuclear physicist Ph.D. from a top school or someone with a high school diploma from a school in Houston TX? I'll take the elite please. And when it comes to government, who do you want, someone with extensive training and experience or a mama grizzly or perhaps a witch? I'll take the elite please.
Give me a break already. I thought you were going to take a week off?
once again you try to make up your own facts.Quote:

Arizona Boycott Cost State $140 Million Over Immigration Law, Study Finds

PHOENIX â?? A boycott of Arizona in the wake of a controversial immigration law has cost the state more than $140 million in lost meeting and convention business, a new report released Thursday shows.
The economic impact analysis commissioned by the Center for American Progress put hotel industry losses during the first four months after the signing at about $45 million. Visitors would have spent an additional $96 million during their stays, said Angela Kelley, the group's vice president for immigration and advocacy.
"This is as much I think to serve a warning to other states, particularly those who rely on tourism and conferences and conventions, that there is an economic impact to it," Kelley said. "We feel like this is a very modest slice, just a piece of what the economic impact is, and we don't think that we're overstating it or overselling it."
The study was paid for by the group, a liberal-leaning think tank, but conducted by the respected Scottsdale-based economic firm Elliott D. Pollack & Co.
It also says lost bookings will probably continue for more than a year, multiplying the effect of a boycott called by immigrant-rights activists after Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed the state's new law in April.
Former state Sen. Alfredo Gutierrez said the goal of the boycott was to bring the state's economy to a stop in much the same way that a boycott punished the state 20 years ago over its refusal to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with a holiday.
The immigration law would require police â?? in enforcing other laws â?? to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally. Opponents said that could lead to racial profiling, and said immigration enforcement is the job of the federal government.
After U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put the most controversial parts of the law on hold on constitutional grounds in July, some opponents of the measure called for the boycott to end, including U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and the grocery workers union.
An estimated 15 million visitors come to Arizona each year for vacations, conventions and sporting events such as the Fiesta Bowl, pro golf tournaments and baseball spring training. The state tourism office estimates that conventions and other tourism-related activity brought in $16.6 billion in 2009 and that 157,200 people were employed in industry.
welcome to IB's fantasy island! facts can't be bothered with when you have no governer switch on the crap that oozes out of the cranial void.:jointsmile:

My argument is with the right wing nuts on this site that hail from those places. And, given the abysmal education systems in those states (let's be honest, all states), their state of residence makes perfect sense. I wouldn't choose to live in either.Quote:

I trust you don't mind if I exercise it freely? Take your loyalty test to a country that relies on such things - perhaps China, North Korea, or Israel. I'll keep my freedoms intact, thank you very much.
WHAT'S WRONG? YOU FAILED TO IDENTIFY A POINT OR POSITION IN YOUR RESPONSE. I DON'T DRINK TEA. WRONG AFFILIATION. I'M GUESSING THAT'S MORE UP YOUR STREET. SEE MY COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR LOYALTY QUESTION IN MY RESPONSE BELOW.Quote:

Recall that Bush tried to "fast track" NAFTA so that he could have it signed and done before leaving office. He failed. Clinton did get it done but not before adding clauses that provided marginal protections for American workers, and that required U.S. partners to adhere to similar environmental practices and regulations as the US.
You need to fact check your mouth. Otherwise you end up looking like a product of the TX education system.
It sounds like one of IB's hand puppets or trolls. :S2:Quote:

You lose the ability to apply critical thinking skills and sooner or later you end up accepting fiction as fact. BTW this is a problem on both the left and right. Clowns.Quote:
