Here's a link to the Globe editorial. Read it if you dare!

[Gay State Conservative]

The senior editors and staff of the Boston Globe live in Chestnut Hill and Weston,among the $3 million "bungalows" and summer on Martha's Vineyard along side the Kerrys,the Clintons and the Cronkites.

What could they *possibly* know about *achieving* the American Dream,as opposed to having it handed to them by Mommy's and Daddy's trust fund?

two words: Big Dig.

[Carry_Okie]

But from 1968 to 1998, income inequality increased."

Gosh, that just happens to coincide with the implementation of indentured constituency: the programs of the Great Society.

So what doth the Globe recommend? More of the same!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Perhaps the Globe should put its capitalist money where its mouth is and distribute its paper for free...

[Lou L]

while the income of regular folks stagnated."

Just who are these "regular folk" that they're talking about?

[Mr. Jeeves]

The Boston Globe's version of the American Dream translates to "middle class lifestyles for working class intellects/skill-sets" - something that was briefly possible in the wake of WWII with the rise of American industry, but was mistakenly accepted as the new norm (and as their just due) by unions and New Deal leftists. Now the Left is willing to spend any amount of government money necessary to get back to those halcyon days...when the only thing likely to create them again would be for the USA to fight and win WWIII (or WWIV, if you prefer). Redistributing wealth to accomplish those goals has already proven to be a total failure over the last forty years.

Come out of the closet Democrats. Just admit it. You are European style Socialists in everything but name

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP! Good column!

[Lancey Howard]

By the way, I presume this Globe editorial is simply part of its effort to help the Democrats unveil their ‘American Dream’ initiative?

[Lancey Howard]

P.S., By the way, I love the ending of the editorial where the Globe bats its eyes at communism:

It is not actually a matter of recovering a dream, but of restoring the reality of shared American prosperity.

Equally "shared", I'm sure - - you know, "From each according to his means to each...", etc.

[Steve_Seattle]

"expensive housing"

The most expensive housing in the country is in areas where the political culture is controlled by liberals: Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. Liberals are hostile to development, penalizing it, taxing it, even preventing it, so this is no accident. The goal of the liberal elites is for them to have the nice houses and expensive condos and to force everyone else into "affordable" tenements.

[Lancey Howard]

What I find most disturbing is that the Globe never once mentions the Democrat Party even as they regurgitate their party's latest talkng points, choosing instead to cloak their editorial's "Americn Dream" rhetoric in a reference to a couple of local guys who have "launched a yearlong series of discussions". The brazen duplicity and downright sneakiness of these sick scumbags at the Globe makes me puke a little.

But then, really, what else would you expect from liberals?
