You do know April 15th is coming soon, don't you?

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production. In this day and age, socialism has also come to mean when the government owns the means of production (which is really communism) but doesn't run a police state. The biggest problem that I see with with Bush is that he has been complicit in *helping* the business owners to provide them cover from making bad business moves. This is not socialism, this is soft corporatism (which I also don't like). Go ask any union boss if Bush is helping the workers control the means of production.

One thing good about John Galt and idiots like him is the fact that they make up a very small minority of public opinion.

So how do you get from Washington's farewell address to calling a Pakistani with Afghan roots a phony?

If you have missed my posts about bringing the boys home from South Korea, let it be clear, I support bringing the troops home from Korea and the 106 other countries US troops are currently stationed in,

What should we have done in response to 9/11?

Great article. Bump.

You control mass murderers with war, not resolutions and court orders.

Great quote. Bump.

"Which is why I urge College Republicans -- all five of them -- to rally behind Dean during the primary season."

I think there are many more than 5...but certainly less than the left-leaning majority on campus.

Great read...thanks for the post.

A good idea. Johnnie-boy has several personalities and none have both oars in the water on opposite sides of the boat.

And that's just for the Income Tax Celebration; we don't even bother to mark the occasion when the Social Security Administration and the Mediscam armed paper-shufflers fleece the young to pay for the slot machine habits of the Greatest Looting Generation.

Where was I wrong? I am not sure I made any claim about his lineage, other than to point out what a phonycon he was as a writer.

The author makes no claim to being a conservative. In fact, he says American politics bore him. His claim is that he is a Pakistani with Afghan ancestry, who is thankful for what the U.S. has done in the Mid-East.

[JohnGalt]

Like any conservative would suggest, close the borders, stop letting unemployed Arab males into the country, restore an atmosphere to encourage a well-armed citizenry, de-socialize the big airlines, decentralize the government, fix the monetary situation and tar and feather, well at least fire and strip the pension, of any gubmint employee with 'national security' in their title.

*I have noticed most of the hawks simply ignore what debt financing does to the national security situation of the United States.

[JohnGalt]

Exactly; the author is not a conservative and I feel no better that he is indicating his support for Republicans.

He was thankful for the welfare handout the US taxpayers provided his homelands in the form of playing the role of world policeman.

There. Better?

[lasereye]

I see, we let Al Qaeda continue to have bases of operations where they could develop bio-weapons, dirty bombs, eventually maybe nukes. As long as we close the borders we'd be safe. You're a genius.

[JohnGalt]

Soft corportatism was renamed Third Way Socialism by the Blair-Clinton faction, who strangely enough borrowed the term from fascisti intellectuals of the 20s and 30s.

I'd settle for a term with less connotation, consolidationist.

[JohnGalt]

I don't brown my shorts over cave dwellers like the soccer moms.


What can I say?

[Spok]

"You control mass murderers with war, not resolutions and court orders."

A simple, obvious truth that seems to elude so many.

[JohnGalt]

His support for the Republican Party is completely phony--do you disagree?
