Now there’s a political marketing slogan:

“Socialism - it’s less fattening!”

Didn’t Jimmah Cottah assure us that N. Korea was a wonderful place? You remember...when he and Clinton funded the N. Korean nuclear program in the ‘90’s with US foreign aid? (But we didn’t have to worry, ‘cause the $ Billions US were ONLY to be used for humanitarian purposes, and the program was overseen by Kofi Annan’s UN, and the Koreans PROMISED to give up their nuclear program in return for the aid? Of course, we later found out that the Koreans had BRIBED the UN inspectors, and used the money to complete their nuclear program. But how could Clinton and Cottah have known, right?)

Another smashing success for liberal foreign policy!

Linda Chavez is complaining about how bad North Korea is. But things were at least that bad in America under George Bush!

(/liberal)

Jimmy Carter was going to remove all US troops and nuclear weapons from South Korea by 1982. It’s a good thing that congress and generals forced him to abandon the plan in 1978.

The following URL leads to a YouTube video that I have posted before, uploaded by 'DavidKoHannah' and it is by far one of the most disturbing and depressing things I have ever seen regarding the suffering of the North Korean people.

Surprisingly, I've had other posters make snide comments about the 'quality' of the song, one joker started off on a rant about 'why should we care' when they (the North Korean people) 'gave up' their freedoms, the sheer stupidity of such posters astounded me.

So at the risk of once more being assailed for posting a song by an 'idiot' (referring to KoHannah), here it is, and by all means be aware: this is not for the squeamish.

"Human Flesh Being Sold In The Market"

"North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong-Eun, has done what few expected when he assumed power after his father's death last December. Instead of loosening control in the most totalitarian nation in the world, Kim Jong-Eun has actually expanded the number of North Koreans subject to forced labor, torture, starvation and death in the totalitarian nation's prison camps."

He has correctly learned the most important lesson for long-lived tyrants - first induce overwhelming fear, then everything else is easy.

Thanks so much for posting this incredible YouTube video—I sent to my personal list of about 100 friends—I've spent lots of time in S. Korea, and have many Korean friends, and a wife from Japan! This is a sobering remembrance of the incredible suffering going on in our World—and God's sad heart over all of it!

The North Koreans are admired in the West for their tiny carbon footprint.

I believe that God will ask us why we didn’t help his children living in that hell hole.

If anyone is interested in learning more about the suffering of North Koreans who have escaped to China please watch the documentary “Seoul Train”. Its available on netflix. Its a powerful film and should be watched by all.

Its high time the western world stopped kissing Chinese arse and got together to give the N. Korean despots a good kicking.

We refused to accept a considerably more modest brand of tyranny from Saddam and in my (ever so humble) opinion the twits running the show in Pyongyang should be next on the end of the rope.

Yeah, the camps off in the woods, and all the people protesting/witnessing the rounding up of neighbors/relatives that were sent there under Bush, to experience starvation, executions, long hours of hard labor.... Somehow I missed the reports by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc, and the mass demonstrations, not to mention Barry releasing all the prisoners, er, detainees in a moment that would have sealed Democrat power for the life of the country. Guess he was too busy giving the Medal of Freedom to a fellow Socialist.

Those that make stupid remarks are stuck on stupid. And you know what Ron White says, “You can’t fix stupid.”

Carry on the good fight!

Funny how Hollywood can go on about Darfur, yet not give a rip about North Korea. People loved “Hunger Games” but NK engages in a similar thing. Shameful.

I personally don’t give a damn about North Korean People, Chinese People or many of these “victims”. At some point in history they supported the despots who convinced them to fight against the USA.

I presume you reserve that same sort of indifference and hatred for the Germans (who supported Hitler) and the Italians (who supported Mussolini), and of course the Japanese who supported Tojo, right?
