Indeed, that’s what is so surreal. This analogy has been around for EONS. It’s been commonplace throughout history. “Debt slavery,” “wage slavery,” “debt bondage.” The libs arguing otherwise are either totally ignorant, or as usual, they are completely inventing a new ‘reality’ out of their posteriors, re-writing history and terminology, in order to send signals to their LIV crowd that Palin/tea-partiers are all a bunch of evil racists. Which the moronic LIV hordes will eat up and perpetuate.
karma, karma, heap loads of karma
notice how the liberal news media is failing miserably.
karma,
Obamas next
The left has a significant number of candidates for anger management classes and sensitivity training. Martin Bashir is a prime example.
Nothing foolish at all about the comparison. It is entirely appropriate to the US national debt situation. And the term debt slavery has been around forever. It's just that the usual suspect leftist race hustlers and PC enforcers, for their own narrow purposes, want to ban another very apt term.
Sarah is right about the “Death Panels” and she’s right about public debt is slavery. When a child is born owing huge amounts of money to the government that is slavery.
Another day older and deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company store.
Just a song about another form of debt slavery, slavery to the coal company when wages were low and the company controlled the retail business in the coal town.
He actually thinks Conservatives have suffered a loss in the firing of Bashir. We have lost a useful "talking point", as if this is all just a political game and the words used are simply tools in that game. Well, there are always more "talking points" where Bashir's comments came from. And it is not just MSNBC. While acknowledging the inappropriate garbage that spewed from Bashir’s mouth the writer still comes off as a pompous jerk who minimizes what conservatives experience constantly from the MSM.
Bashir will be back.
“Obamas next”
Karma descends in cycles, and his is coming.
The leftist communists truly believe that it doesn’t matter how a speaker uses a word,,it’s only meaning is that which the lefties assign to it and nothing else. IN other words, leftists are very comfortable telling you what you mean.
Liberals don't seem to know that slavery predates the American South. I wonder if know about indentured servants or debtor's prisons.
Probably, I detest what he said, and yes in a way he should be fired, but... I maybe in the minority, but I sort of follow Rush's axiom of leaving liberal loons in place so we can show young critical thinking adults ( if their is such a thing today ) what Progressivism / Statism truly is, by their actions. Let MSLSD have all the loons and say what ever detestable thing they want too. In fact, MSLSD should bring Michael Moore, Martin Bashir, and even Bill Maher aboard and re-brand to The MSBHO-Channel. Let the world see them all in their splendor. I will turn my backs to them, and I think more and more are. Let that channel collapse into obscurity after peoples hearts and minds are changed, who chose to say no by turning off the channel....
If a Fox commentator said the same thing about a woman, he’d be extremely lucky to make it to the end of the day. And the left would still fuss about it.
And company towns. Miners were constantly in debt to the mining companies and almost literaly slaves to that debt.
I agree with you.
This writer doesn’t understand tax slavery since he moves among the elite who have no such problems. Sort of like when, after Nixon’s 1972 landslide victory, film critic Pauline Kael famously said, “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”
Not to worry, he’ll soon be working for Fox Sports with Keith Olberman.
