    Why would you lie over a message board at all? Why would you plagiarize on a message board? There is no reason why you would want to do any of these things.

    Why would you accuse civil rights leader John Lewis of lying?

    basso,

    Do Federal funds help pay for the expense of your son's special education services?

    Does your son benefit from Federal regulations that specify what constitutes an "appropriate" education?

    I don't know, you lie on this BBS with fake personal tales all the time.

    You said last year that your wife was going to have to quit her job in 2009, due to Obama's tax increases (sic) which are actually the previously-enacted expiration of the Bush tax cuts scheduled to occur in 2011.

    This was in the context of a thread in which you claimed that you were going to buy a $2 million dollar apartment, but were unable to do so, thanks to the obama administration's mortgage modification program for low income borrowers.

    I'm not able to discern your motivation for lying in either of these cases. Maybe you can tell us.

    link to $2m apt hunting? link to where i said she'd quit? you apparently have difficulty with the idea that a family might look at options, then decide against them.

    please explain yourself.

    So you said your wife might have to quit in 09 because of Obama's tax increase.

    Are you happier now with the president?

    LOL, I just read that thread again, it was fun. Your 2 million dollar apartment doesn't come into play until page 5-6 or so. Though in your defense, you were only willing ot pay the median of 1.6, even though you had no savings, and obviously couldn't front the 20% down - all of which would have been magically repaired, had mortgage modification for low income borrowers not occurred.

    but you knew that.

    i think they are because i don't even believe you have a wife or a special needs kid. it's like your bbs persona is your own personal st. elsewhere.

    I just want to hear your rationale for why Federal funding for, and mandates to govern, the delivery of medical services are an assault on freedom-


    But Federal funding for, and mandates to govern, the delivery of special education services are not an assault on freedom.

    I'm not insulting or disparaging basso's son in any way. He has brought up his son's autism in the context of political discussion on a number of occasions.

    I sympathize. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.
