Who is Michael Coburn?

By his own definition Michael Coburn is not normal.

From his DeFunCted blog: 'I spend a good deal of time on the
Washington State Ferry system commuting between my much smaller home
on the Olympic peninsula and West Seattle. And I have invested some
time [on] it conducting a sort of informal survey among the people I
am able to speak with on the ferry. I tell them that I am an amateur
economist (which I have been for no less than 20 years) and that I am
attempting to determine what normal people (which I quickly define as
those who are not preoccupied with economics) think that "The Economy"
might be...' [...an enormous amount of jibberish]

"20 years" as an amateur economist and his favorite quote is by Bart
Simpson -- "These are my opinions, and you can't have em"

More likly Michael Coburn is 20 years of age!

Ah, I see, thank you. In other words, to be more efficiently precise,
he's just another Liberal Fascist.

hitler hated liberals, he killed over 6.5 million jews because most of
them are liberal. he killed communists, socialists, trade unionists,
the mentally retarded, the physical disabled, the unemployed, whom he
all considered useless eaters.
liberals would not kill for your political and economic beliefs, the
constitution is a liberal document, that grants you those rights.
liberals would house the retarded, help the disabled, and provide
unemployment benefits for the unemployed. once again you have proven
that propaganda can work on the truly stupid.

Is www.libertypost.org ever going to make a comeback? I Hopes so!

122 three inch long galvanized screws (and also galvanized flat washers)
to each one of those eight Ondura www.ondura.com corrugated roof
panels I done put on my old trailer.But, I still needs to run those
screws along the bottom eves on both sides on the roof up there.For
doing that, I am going to use my electric drill with a philips bit.If I
had tried using my electric drill on those other screws, especially
wayyyyy up there at the top, it would have knocked my arse off of the
roof and off of my ladder and flat on the ground, because I was
literally laying on my belly on top of that trailer roof wayyyy up
there.I am too young to die, too old to die too!

Well, he hasn't abandoned the idea of representative government, just
the idea that there should be more than his political school of thought
represented in America.

So, I wouldn't call him a fascist yet, but he's well along the road.

I was mistookin, actually, it is thirty six galvanized three inch long
screws (also galvanized flat washers too) to each one of those Ondura
corrugated roofin panels.But, multiply and add em up, it's still a LOT
of screwing!
I best git back to my screwing again.
