I know you’re not talking to me. I accept your apology.

there exist in all the world only three true bastions of faith in the state-planned economy. Those three diehards are the totalitarian rulers of communist North Korea, the aging dictators of communist Cuba, and the left wing of the Democratic Party of the United States. The only difference, it seems, is that our homegrown socialists were freely elected, albeit with the advantage of hard-ball tactics and relentless media bias.

Ping to excellent, sobering article.

Excellent article - thanks for the ping.

Good ping, good catch.

Reminds me of an old boyfriend who was part of the Merchant Marine. He worked on those big freighters that went all over the world carrying cargo from here to there. He'd be gone for months at a time, and always had great adventures to relate when he came back. His ship once got stranded in the USSR, and the crew had to hunker down in one of the big port cities for several weeks.

He said it was the most horrible, bizzare nightmare one could imagine. Everyone -- all ages, all types -- was drunk, he said, all the time, day and night. There were no pretty women in the clubs or bars where they passed their time -- all were hard, ugly, grim, and desperate. He said that the KGB watched every American to the point of laughable excess. Anywhere, everywhere, he went, he'd turn around and look behind him and some official dogging his steps would awkwardly dodge behind a tree or a corner.

This article made me think of that ol' boyfriend's stories and how much he hated having to deal with cargo anywhere near the USSR.

Let the American people see where Obama & co. are taking us.

I've pre-ordered my Hussein Truckster GT by Generalissimo Motors. It takes two years to get one due to productivity controls instituted by the United Auto Workers Collective. Per Comrade Commandante Carol Browner's Rule #BR-549 it runs on biofuel and the exhaust is recyclable.

I hate to bust your bubble,but the Animals Before People legislation that Obama signed states you are in violation of forcing that horse into slavery against it’s will and therefore his ACORN shocktroops will be coming to take you and your family to the local Obama/Soros ReEducation camp.

They already are, my FRiend, they call them abortion centers.

The ironic thing is that most, if not all, of the unproductive are Democrat voters. And they are too stupid to realize what is happening to them, even as it is happening.
