"I shop, therefore I am"...
That's because you're a republican.
As for what the above commenter cut and pasted, Barack Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Not that there is a religious test to run for the presidency. Also, the American people elected Barack Obama twice, so clearly they didn't (and don't) believe these lies.
lol! That was bad advice? For what?
Boston University historian Andrew Bacevich has made a convincing case that it was part of a broader pattern of encouraging financial irresponsibility. "Bush seems to have calculated — cynically but correctly — that prolonging the credit-fueled consumer binge could help keep complaints about his performance as Commander in Chief from becoming more than a nuisance"...
..."cynically, but correctly"
Cynicism, much like irony, is an ideologically specific bias. The Kynic and sarcasm are their opposites....although the meanings of both terms have "swapped" positions since the Left won the culture war post-'68.
Hurray!
Capitalist ideology is the "Level 0" ideology.
