The Rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting style commonly associated with Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman, where Ali dodged most of his opponent's blows, in a defensive position on the ropes, only to defeat a worn out Foreman in later rounds.
Liberals, recovering from the shock of watching this man they believed to be the champion of all causes liberal, turn into an amalgamation of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, are now beginning to emerge with the next phase of their strategy, and it is a legendary classic. The rope-a-dope.
Notice the threads... they have taken on a somewhat 'philosophical' tone once again. Let us step back (into the ropes) and pontificate on the 'rightness' and 'wrongness' of various things... the things which comprise most liberal thought. It serves to reaffirm the liberal foundation for support, and for the most part, juxtapose it against a completely perverted and distorted view in opposition from the right. The right isn't right because liberal economic and social policies have failed, they are wrong because liberalism is philosophically superior. Wanting to help the downtrodden, is superior to actually doing things that produce more, rather than less, opportunity for the downtrodden.
Current events are all taken off the table in this rope-a-dope, as we are stifled in endless pontificating and conjecture, regarding philosophical differences on core principles. Conservatives and Righties will meet the barrage of philosophical threads with a fervor, posting response after response, taking swing after swing, as the liberals lean back into the ropes and cover up. It's all part of the plan! You're not paying attention to the growing unemployment, to growing fuel prices, to increasing monetizing of the debt, to dwindling social security funding, to broken and failed education, to incremental socialism into every facet of our lives. You're not focused on that, because you are busy having a 'philosophical' debate with a liberal pinhead! You see, it's much more important to have a Conservative explaining why Hamilton was not the forefather of modern liberalism, than discussing the incompetence currently controlling power in our government. It's more important to have a Conservative spending his energy and time defending Iraq and Bush, it's all part of the 'wearing down' process.
Most people who have read this far into my post without drooling, realize and understand, that with the government pumping nearly $2 trillion into the economy, and yet another $2 trillion to come, it will probably 'stimulate' the economy to some degree, or at least, make the economy appear to be stimulated, and thus, 'rebounding' from the worst recession since the Great Depression. Most people who understood that, also understand this is money we don't have, we are either borrowing it or creating it by printing it. The end result is inevitably going to be, our dollars are worth less, they buy less, they will not retain their current value. At the same time our dollars are declining in value, consumer prices are rising. You can do the math from there, we are in some serious trouble here, and things aren't about to suddenly get better. Yeah, the markets may rise a little, this or that economic indicator may show some 'improvement' over last year... and the pinheads will surely crow about this, but it's all an illusion, created with massive amounts of money being pumped into the economy, and setting us up for an economic catastrophe we can't get over. If you have read Marx, you realize, that's part of the strategy as well.
