"The bailouts ushered in the corrupt Marxist B. Hussein Obama who has brought in socialism to the hilt!"

I beg to disagree, Jim. What ushered socialism is one half of the country that celebrates it, while the other half is ignorant of how capitalism works. You will recall, I am sure, that Hillary too was urging the new "progressive" era --- just a codeword for "socialist." Both of the Dem candidates are Marxist, only one is a bit more open than the other.

I share you pain probably more than you could imagine. But, to be truthful with myself and others, I have to acknowledge that Bush has increased the government by 56%. Do you remember any serious discussion and opposition from the Republican Congress? I don't. It was also the Repub governor of Minnesota, if I recall correctly, who proclaimed that era of small government is over.

When you have Republicans that far left, it is little surprise that the Dems can get away with extreme leftist policies.

"Hussein says the constitution is flawed and must be destroyed. His enablers, including a few on this thread,"

I don't know about this thread, but I do see the enablers quite a bit on other threads: those that rave against the free markets and repeat verbatim the falsehoods from the NY Slimes.

"We should ignore the constitution to save it. The U.S. Treasury is not a slush fund for political payoffs!! And that is where the bailout and stimulus ripoffs went. Political payoffs!!"

I completely agree. I an outraged by the bailouts as much as you are, but a little confuses: you write with such passion as if we disagreed on this issue.

"Eff the Big Government fat cats, bankers, unions and thieves!!"

Completely agree with you here, too. Unlike you, some people are enraged not just by "Big Government fat cats" but all fat cats, i.e., the rich. In so doing, they advance the commie class warfare and serve as "useful idiots," as Lenin called them.

"Anyone who supports this Marxist thuggery is an idiot!!"

Even worse than an idiot: to support Marxists while having the privilege of being an American is also criminal (in my book).

P.S. I am not sure how any of this is connected with my remark about the run on Lehman.
