The Courage You Need to Deal with NeoLib Statists

Variations: Members of the elite military team have questioned the White House's version of the events surrounding Bin Laden's death

Mitt intuitively knew the potential for "You didn't build that." He showed us how comfortably he could walk around a workplace, just talking the language of business. He trusted Brian Maloney with the microphone, who I think performed remarkably well as a public speaker.

What followed for Maloney was, in his words, "crude, abusive, mindless garbage.” Roxbury Trucking received anonymous email and voice mail threats, as well as special attention from Rachel Maddow (I had to look her up on those internets because I didn't know who she was). She published research that Mr. Maloney secured a low interest government loan to start his business.

So what? Mr. Malone got these loans because sited his business in the retrograde Boston Newmarket section, where “You could hear gunfire at night.”

The only thing that matters for today's Neolib Statist is what can you do for me in today's news cycle. It should be not surprise to any RFNJ reader that it got personal. The attack machine also published that Mr. Maolney lives in a 1.3 million dollar home in Brookline. Obviously, he is a 1%-er. It did not matter that he bought in 1972 for $60,000. So for Brian Maloney, the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders.

These Neolibs use the old Southern Tenant Farmers Union trick, if you make a persuasive point. Any opponent that adheres to the shut down insult will never be persuaded. It takes courage to weather it. Just ask Brian Maloney. It also takes discipline and cleverness to steer the debate back to the message that brought you the vitriol in the first place. The truth usually wins over the people that hear your debate, if you stay courageous and on message. The audience is who matters, not the STFUers.

It takes courage to make a tough decision when the times call for it. You might not get a second chance. But some people get a third chance or even a fourth, before making a "gutsy call." Sometimes, a fourth chance interrupts your golf game.  Then you can forget the first three and take a picture.

So I though I would post a picture of a giant who holds the world on his shoulders, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength. That's how Brian Maloney looks to me.

So I ask you, who do you think will make a better decision when you need courage. Brian Maloney or Barak Obama?

Maddow?? Jesus.. PhD from Oxford in philsophy of politics?????
City of Boston should be glad that Maloney can pay the absurd amount of personal propery taxes on that house. And that his workers can pay theirs also. I watched Maddow one night when her head exploded with the Scott Walker recall vote...
TOOL.
