Interesting piece. Change the names and it's a paulist manifesto. Except Margot didn't say anything nasty or childish about Megan.
When business profits and survival are determined primarily by government policy, businesses will desperately try to affect those policies.
The cure is not to elect different politicians, it is to get the government out of the position of deciding who succeeds and who fails.
honestly who cares what Lois here has to say
she was found ranting and raving with her head partly shaved at one point in the late 90s or early 2000s
Margot lives in Montana, as so many crazed Follywood libs do, because their insane liberal politics has totally ruined CA.
I believe Kidder has a history of mental problems.
Yup. She’s a sad case. Hopefully her 12 step program is working for her. But it won’t make her any less loony.
And they are in the process of ruining Montana.
How easy it is for Democrats to use the words of war when they are angry at American citizens. But against those we are actually at war with? Shhhhhhhhh, don’t make ‘em mad, don’t call ‘em out, give ‘em what they want. Feh!
Hey, Margot! WE said the same thing in reverse!...............
I think that’s the normal sequence. First, you get into drugs. Next, you disappear for days, wandering around strangers’ back yards in a manic-depressive episode. Only then are you qualified to drive policy for the Democrat party.
“Kidder has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which led to a widely publicized manic episode in 1996. Kidder was found in undergrowth by Los Angeles police in a distressed state, and placed in psychiatric care.”
Margot can WRITE! AND she can think, which was something I haven’t been too sure about in recent years, since she’s had some strange and well publicized episodes. She’s fierce sounding enough to eventually come around much closer to our side. Maybe I missed it, but nothing was said about Obama, just Rahm Emanuel. But she hits most of her targets, just hasn’t put everything in a very sophisticated perspective.
We call this "Fascism."
Isn’t she Canadian?
“Margot Kidder is an actress and activist living in Livingston, Montana.”
Unless I am mistaken, Margot Kidder is also a Canadian.
I believe she studied for the Bar up there?
I’ve notice that they sure like to throw around the “SH” word on lefty blogs!!
We don’t call it that most of the time, but that’s what it is.
China, Russia and Europe have various versions, as do most Latin American and other 3rd World countries.
In its milder versions it’s called crony capitalism, when the business side of the alliance dominates.
I’m really curious why the author of this piece thinks the answer is just to elect the “right” people. Doesn’t she realize most of them will quickly be corrupted by the system? The answer is to change the system, not hope for the election of those rare individuals who are above being corrupted. (Most of those people have other flaws that are often more dangerous.)
this means that the Teri Hatcher op-ed on Afghanistan policy cannot be far behind...FR needs to give a prize to the first Freeper who links it...
