The name Tonton Macoute (translates as “Uncle Gunnysack”) originated from Haitian Creole mythology. It was the name of a bogeyman who walked the streets after dark, and would kidnap children who stayed out too late. He stowed them away in his gunnysack, never to be seen again.
(Francios “Papa Doc”)Duvalier employed the Tonton Macoutes in a reign of terror against any opponents, including those who proposed progressive social systems. Those who spoke out against Duvalier would disappear at night, or were sometimes attacked in broad daylight. They were never seen again. They were believed to have been abducted and killed by the MSVN, who were called the Tonton Macoutes as a result. Anyone who challenged the MVSN risked assassination. Their unrestrained terrorism was accompanied by corruption, extortion and personal aggrandizement among the leadership. . .
that will do nicely
Hey Howie, you OK with Doctors........any Doctors getting paid the same? What about research? Anything on the horizon?
The media are probably not commies but owned by oligarch croocks who perfectly fit with communism or fascism(look at Russia and China).
If they have a lock on power ,no doubdt you will have to physically fight...or be slaves
If someone makes 35k a year ( and they have to pay up to 8% of the income per month to health insurance and they dont even want it)
Thats $233 per month -
Do you really think it’s going to stop at $233 a month???
More like $500+ per month - just wait and watch and see ...
Probably 17 years ago and America has gone left since then. Was it 17?

Arghhhhh! I am reading your post about the READY RESERVE CORPS! What a load of %#*@! Just an open invitation to hire a lot of “needy” friends!
I’m sure that’s what they think.
Government: United Way with a gun.
Dragging everyone down to the same abysmal level of healthcare is not going to make for a healthier society.
It will make for a society of equal unhealthiness.
Except for the elected elite who will not put themselves under the yoke of the healthcare system they want to impose on the rest of us unwashed masses.
Yeah, I’d like to see all these *distribution of wealth* advocates start by setting the example and giving away all they have.
FIRST.
A fellow Wambaugh fan. "Choirboys" or "The Black Marble"? I can't remember which.
It’s the jealousy of the rich, or at least those who are richer than you.
What those people don’t realize is that often the wealth is a result of hard work, something the entitlement minded deadbeats aren’t willing to engage in.
They want to drag everyone down to their level.
I lived in a welfare community at one time and it’s pretty ugly.
I was never so glad as the day we moved out of the. Shook the dust off my feet and never looked back. No regrets about leaving that place.

How many here know where this came from? I do........
“A fellow Wambaugh fan. “Choirboys” or “The Black Marble”? I can’t remember which.”
Darn. Should have read all the posts before opening my big fat mouth. It was the Choirboys. Great book. Horrible movie.
Agreed. Who can forget "Eating Pressed Ham Through the Wrapper"?
Was that part even in the movie?
