more koolaid...MORE KOOLAID!!!

This has already happened in Argentina. How would you like to wake up one morning to find that your paycheck... just deposited yesterday is worth 70 percent less today than yesterday? Millions of people here can tell you... plus, how it was almost impossible to get access to ANY of your money. Reagan's administration started the deregulation of the financial markets... now, the Axis of Evil will not regulate itself. The Soviet government allocated resources based upon politics, which caused it to fail. Now, the US government is following the same self-destructive process due to unrestrained greed.

We have to fight this. We cannot stop fighting until the integrity of our financial institutions is restored. Let's vote the looters of our system out of office and elect representatives that will grant a tax holiday until the jobless rate gets back under 5 percent again.

The American people and the Afghani people join with the British publicin appreciation this brave man's sacrifice... and that of his family.

I am not really a Beck fan... but, I find myself DVRing his show... cannot stop watching. I guess I'm just addicted to the truth.

While I am not defending drug companies and their too aggressive business model, I AM sure that the stratospherically high death rates in Argentina would have been lower had the vaccine been available to poor people.

The elitist radical left has invested so much in getting BO elected, only to watch the progressives in Congress and the elitist, hateful American apologist organizations who depend on them for funding ALL go down the tubes... that's gotta hurt.

Now, ya'll quiet down now, ya hear? We don't want them to wise up and clean up their act until after the 2010 elections... OK?

Let not your heart be troubled... YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Yeah... right. I just want you to know that if you spew anti-American drivel, you will get called on it.

SHEESH! I went to war to defend your right to spew anti-American drivel... and have the nerve to quote anti-American web sites as your source of ALL TRUTH. What a great argument for reinstating the military draft you are. BOOT CAMP is what you need.

Well... at last... something we can agree upon. The media... including the blogs... are satisfying their basic need to corrupt, spin and propagandize the news. That's why I troll a lot of radical sites... I feel I have to piece together the truth from the Huffington Post, Media Matters, Al-Jazeera, the BBC, the Root, the Kos and various radical left and Iraqi/Iranian bloggers... on the right, I read Fox News, Breitbart, the survival blogs from the US and (my personal favorite blog by a fiend of mine – a 30 yo architect and professor in the southern barrios of BsAs – Surviving Argentina). I also try to keep up with economic policy news with the Baseline economist blog. What I have found is...
. The truth is hard to figure out.
. As a militant Centerist, I find that the middle-of-the-road position shifts a lot... ebbs and flows, expands and contracts as Centerists find some issues upon which they feel passionate draws them closer to the left or right. That's as it should be.
. The world needs guys like you, working down in the mud with campesinos and indiginas, while I am flying over you at 4 km in a helicopter (out of the most effective man-portable missile range) with a load of corrupt and aggressive military and oligarchy-supporting capitalist tools. I work from the inside, and you work from the outside... I'm fine with that.
. The left does not withhold support from radicals because, if they are leftist, they can do no wrong. Van Jones is just the most recent example.
. BO hiring guys that openly espouse the overthrow of the Constitution of the US (he swore to protect and defend that document) and espousing Chavez-type control of the media leading to total government control of the media is going to bring the Center... a majority currently in the US... snug up along side the Right. This is a shame, because bowing to the radical Left will jeopardize the really good stuff he wants to do – such as Universal (not single-payer) health care, green jobs, etc.
. I am personally sick to my stomach of what BO wants to do in bring education closer to the radical left. We cannot allow that to happen.
. I like the way Argentina pays for a collage education for any student who could pass the requisite exams. Chavez and Castro have also done some really good and laudable things in education... but, I don't appreciate how they have turned the schools into madrassa-like political tools, radicalizing the young. That can not be allowed to happen in the US. The Right won't be allowed to do it, either.
. I am a big supporter of citizens doing government service as a way of paying back for their education. I am a beneficiary of that via the US military. My children were beneficiaries of the Americorp plan in conjunction with the Texas A&M School of Oceanography. I would like to see that program expanded for the good of the country, with the proviso that NO political agenda be imposed upon such programs.
. If Chavez is successful in becoming a full on dictator in VZ and Iraq is successful in seriously destabilizing the middle East, we may be looking at some fairly destructive wars. The Center never wants war. Chavez is helping Iran by selling gasoline in defiance of UN sanctions.
. Chavez is destabilizing the region by supporting leftist radical groups and narcotraficantes. He has not responded to the Swedish diplomatic demand as to why the serial numbers of anti-aircraft munitions sold by Sweden to Chavez were recovered in raids against the FARC in CO and EQ.

The list goes on and on. The bottom line is that if you insist on vehemently supporting leftist ideals in the face of violation of the ideals of the common good, you will be resisted. I didn't need your permission to go to war to support freedom, and you don't need my permission to spew leftist opinion on blogs. Nice, huh?
