(Response to another poster)
I remain perplexed at the insistence that it's only liberals -- I swear I look at New Democrat On Line (ndol.org) and I see New Democrat Third Way "progressives" calling for an end to 20th century liberalism. I take that to mean an end to the traditional Democrats of Humphrey and Scoop Jackson.
Enter the Davos Democrat of the Clintons and -- IMO -- the bulk of the DNC and Rat stalwarts.
I read praise of "free trade" and free markets (the only way to create wealth, they admit -- it is after all called, The Third Way).
"Free trade" must be rules-based (their rules) which include ILO / UN human rights requirements and promote "social and economic" justice . They are totally against laissez faire capitalism, they assuage the anti-WTO by promises -- just be patient they advise the protesters.
What the hell else is the Davos crowd up to if not world socialism with them in charge?
Last September Bill Clinton had the first meeting of his own "Davos" -- the original Davos is not moving fast enough for him.
"What do we want?!" "Social justice!!" When do we want it? "Now!!"
Not exactly. The Third Way was code words for Democrats and Labour understanding that tax and spend wasn't going to sell to a skeptical public. Hence Clinton trying to paint himself as a moderate.

You're entitled to your opinion, but it's the Democrats following the lead of conservatives in following freer trade. If you don't believe me, look at the nuts that protest the trade talks - they're communists, greens and other associated scum.

That's what the nuts want. What the trade talks are intended to do is eliminate tariffs and subsidies.

You're paranoid. And this time, no one is out to get you.

Bill Clinton has not been in power since January 2001. I realise his reign left deep scars, but really...

Social Justice is code for Social-ism. No doubt.
