Mr Hanson, didn't notice you addressing the point made

Am I always in a minority here? Maybe because I do not regard it as a popularity contest. Maybe because on the subjects I do contribute on I apply logic, reason and inspect the facts in so far as they are known. Maybe because instead of slavishly spouting what some "blogger" who happens to agree with my point of view says, I go back to the source and find out what he actually said and work out what my opinion is from there. Maybe it is because I wish to make some effort to correct the endless stream of leftist bullshit, that seems to pervade the threads, all of which are gross misrepresentations, half-truths, downright lies and complete and utter myths.

Example:
Hands up all those who believe that the Banks were GIVEN money??

Truth is that they weren't GIVEN anything were they? They got the money either as a loan or in exchange for stock and that every penny has to be paid back.
