I don't really understand a lot of your points. I think it's because you're often so busy arguing against *anything* you view as oppositional that you just go off on weird ass tangents.

When Roachboy is talking about "the right" he's talking about the organized political party, not what you may or may not believe as an individual. Since he's made this point abundantly clear over the years, I didn't feel the need to reiterate it.

But since you asked, yes, harping on a "level playing field" is consistent with the gist of what he was getting at. The more you post, the more slips out that your ideas consistently regurgitate the Republican party's position so I wouldn't be surprised if you post some more that your comments would fit into the mold you're questioning.

It'd take less time to look up the definition of a market economy than sit here and try to trip someone up when you're clearly wrong. Since you've expressed a desire in the past to play the "I'm just a common foke who doesn't get big wurds spoked by dem norheastern liberuls" rather than an articulate and educated conservative, there isn't much point in me continuing to question whether you understand the defining characteristics of a market economy. If you don't actually know, and you really want to know, I'm certain you will figure out how to educate yourself on the topic.

I don't want to comment too much on this bizarre confusion you're having over the NASCAR vs. art sponsorship. It's not frustrating, just pointless.

And, except for fire fighting, all of the activities you listed are taught and encouraged in primary education and extra-curricular activities so your list confirms my point instead of refuting it. Go back and re-read the discussion between us if you can't understand how that is the case.
