Reading this gentleman's bilge reminds me of Groucho Marx's famous question to the musician/singer (I can't remember which): "how much do they pay you not to play/sing?"

This guy just doesn't get it. What's good for GM is good for the country ... and the world.
I'll take a million corporations all vying with each other for profits over a few hundred leftists in a politburo running the world any day. These inhuman monsters have plans for the planet. It involves sterilization (as in cleansing the infection) and taking the remaining population back to low tech. The elete will maintain the highest level of technological advantage of course. The survivors will be peasant farmers. Allowed one child and then force sterilized.

That's from "Duck Soup". The full exchange is:
Groucho: What do you get an hour?
Chico: For playing, we get-a ten dollars an hour.
Groucho: I see. What do you get for not playing?
Chico: Twelve dollars an hour. Now for rehearsing we make special rates. That's-a fifteen dollars an hour.
Groucho: And what do you get for not rehearsing?
Chico: You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, and if we don't-a play, that runs into money.

"If this is so, it is not democracy we are spreading, but global capitalism for the benefit of multi-national corporations. "
1960's state of mind in the 21st century. Must be a heavy burden to bear while waiting for the SDS to come back into vogue. John Kerry's right there with ya, man. He's got your back.

Ow, my soul!
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Get this guy, and everyone like him, on TV at the Democrat convention. Please.
To: PMCarey
LMAO! Thanks for bringing that memory into focus, I'd forgotten the particulars. Still one of the classic punch lines of all time.

In my lifetime, it has been very painful to watch our image go from a democracy once emulated by people around the world to the most despised nation on the planet.Hey, dummy, in my lifetime, I have seen this "democracy emulated by people around the world" slowly sink toward complete socialism. So, they depise us because they are sinking faster than we are, and we're not keeping up with them? Genius?

Perhaps Roger Hare was correct last week when he stated we are not a democracy but a republic. That's the way the Founding Father's intended it. You won't find the word "democracy" anywhere in the Constitution, but you will find the word "repubilican" (little "r"). In a democracy 50% plus one can vote to oppresse the other 50% less one. They can vote away their rights, and tax others to support their wants. None of this is allowed in a Constitutional republic. Rights are beyond the reach of the mob de jure. The people retain all rights, and those powers not specifically granted to government.
Of course, Roger Hare was wrong, we no longer are a Republic. Judges make law, the Congress makes laws specifically forbidden, never mind not authorized. The President makes law too, via "executive order". Thousands of beaurcrats also make law, in spite of never having been elected. No, we are no longer a Republic and are fast approaching a mobocracy.

I can't believe he's comparing the Berlin wall to the fence in Israel. One wall was built to keep people in their prison called East Germany, while the other is to keep would be bombers out.
I wonder if he's ever had a fence?

I will forward this thread to Mr. VanNostrand with any FRiendly responses y'all wish to make. Thx. Why bother? You know it's going to be filled with nothing but personal attacks on Ms. Van Nostrand, and that will be how she characterizes the criticism on this thread. When an article is written how a hyperventilating, liberal fag talks, you know that person only listens to one side, anyway.

Of course we will not have to worry about unpopular views leading to our government's electoral downfall once electronic voting is in place... If the outcome is not favorable, the results will be able to be manipulated much easier and without a trace.Putting aside the obvious fact that the author exhibits all the mental acuity and political sophistication of your average stoned college sophomore, has anyone else noticed that the whole "electronic voting" issue has already become this pre-emptive self-justification for the Left's refusal to ever acknowledge the legitimacy of the Bush administration? Even if he wins in a landslide, 60-40, and coattails a dozen new Senators, they'll still be shrieking about how "Whistle Ass" "stole the election."
So no matter what happens, a Bush win = four more years of the same. Half the Supreme Court could retire or die of old age, and they'll still be trotting out every parliamentary procedure and smelly, ancient communist protestor they can find to gridlock the system. Great, huh? At all unexpected?

How about asking about the Pentagon's plans for global cooling scenarios?
To: A Jovial Cad
Yeah. My mistake though, it was "Animal Crackers", not "Duck Soup".

He just now realized we are a Republic?
And this is a surpise to him?
Never said the Pledge of Allegiance I guess.
Probably couldn't bring himself to utter the "Under God" portion, so forgot the rest.
What an idiot

A very much admired man once commented that, if you are not a liberal when young, you have no heart, but if you are a liberal as an older man, you have no brain. (paraphrased)
-Winston Churchill
