PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil – Leftists are pouring into town to rail against freewheeling capitalism during the World Social Forum, gleefully cheering the humbling of bankers and business titans by the global economic meltdown.

At the opening of the five-day event, some 25,000 activists paraded exuberantly through Porto Alegre on Monday, serenaded by the pounding of drums and salsa blared from sound trucks as they waved communist flags and shouted slogans against corporate greed.

Hey, comrades: Socialism and communism can only survive as parasites and scavengers on capitalism. If we go hungry you guys will end up starving.

Think of the grief that Rush got when he said that Obama was trying to fundamentally change the country. Rush said he hoped that this effort failed.

The Left went ballistic at that kind of hate speech.

You look at who is protesting and its the 18 - 25 year olds. They have been so brained washed in the modern schools and live for entitlements. If the world has a ecomonic melt down (which it looks like its coming) we may literally be without the basic needs that we take for granted like running water, food and shelter. Unfortunatly, survival within this group will be minimal.

Attention you Leftist idiots:
A prosperous America= a prosperous world.
Who in the hell do you think has kept Haitians alive all these years?
Who in the hell spends billions delivering food, water, and medical aid to those who can’t/won’t.
The American taxpayer is responsible for saving more lives than the rest of the nations of the world combined.

They won't just sit home and just passively starve to death I think. Looks to me that there is great potential for a lot of violence ahead...
