Are you serious? You have left a lot of inconvenient facts out. Before you respond... read the history books.
Watch for the elections to be taken as a vote of no confidence in the Euro and the central EU bureaucracy.
The socialists were proposing an "austerity" plan of raising taxes while reducing salaries of government employees and employees of state-run operations.
Their "austerity" plans did NOT include things like reducing total government employment, reducing regulation and red tape, or making it easier for the free market to operate. Reducing government pay while retaining government power will just mean that bureaucrats will demand bigger bribes to approve permits.
Spain gets a clue. Apparently most progs have forgotten that the first rise to power of the socialist utopia proponents brought with it the great adolph hitler. Socialism continues to fail but the progs want to keep trying again, and again, and again. The inbreeding and homosexual behavior must be responsible for the stupidity.
After the 2012 election it is time for a replay of the House on UnAmerican Activities investigation.
Trials and all.””
Exactly, the crooks think they are above the law.
The money spent for good CEOs is often well spent, but not always. In a company the size of GE, ceo salary is a pittance, a minor consideration, and not where the problem lies. Doprah winfrey makes way more than most CEOs feeding nonsense drivel to community illiterates. Entertainers are the most overpaid people in society, not CEOs who run complex manufacturing and service companies. Your concern is misplaced. If you don’t like a companies CEO, simply don’t buy their products. Envy is not a conservative virtue.
people around the world are waking up that socialism does not work , of course we still have the idiots here thinking it does because we have raised a bunch of brats who want everything for nothing and are dumb as hell.””
You would have thought they would have learned from the german worker’s socialist party that produced hitler. Poor memories and stupidity are a bad combination.
“..After the 2012 election it is time for a replay of the House on UnAmerican Activities investigation...”
Tex, you’re dreaming...with THIS bunch of spineless GOP folks? Maybe some of the Tea Party Republicans would consider it, but getting the “Blue Bloods” to go along would be impossible.
For the record, I agree with you wholehearedtly, though; i LOVE to see these subversive b*stards hauled into court and frog-marched out.
A good start. Now that we know there is a “gene” for liberalism, we should be able to track that person from birth making sure they never get into education or a place of power.
Isn't this the country whose protagonist coined the expression "tilting at windmills?
I am not envious, I am a POed GE stockholder. Unfortunately I am also a POed BP stockholder. I find it outrageous that the top GE executives were all paid from $11 to $22 million with no reduction during the period when when the stock tanked from $50 to $5. If conservatives do not want government regulation regarding this level of incompetence, then we stockholders need to act on our anger. Isn’t that what the Tea Party is all about—private citizens acting on their anger.
I forgot to point out that if people want to watch Oprah, or pay tons of money to other sports and entertainment figures, I have no problem with that. I don’t need to watch specific TV programs or go to high priced sporting events. However, I do need electricity and some of the appliances that use it, and oil for heating and transportation.
Regarding the Spanish Civil War, it was prolonged because the Nazi Fascists and the Soviet Communists were using it as a proxy war and testing opportunities that were subsequently used with WWII equipment and military strategy and tactics.
With a modicum of effort I could avoid GE products. Dophrah is doing their advertising for them. I don’t put most athletes in the same category with the doprahs and most of hollywood together with their disgusting homophilic writers. Athletes often sacrifice their physical health—football is not the metrosexuals.
If I so choose, I can do without GE, their ads, and Doprah. I can’t say the same for paying my taxes that consume 50% of my income—this I worry far more about than GE ceos since they won’t put a gun in my face if I refuse to pay tribute.
Too many people swallow the Leftist version of what the Franco regime was all about.
Mass Democrats also voted to cut collective bargaining.

People ought to realize the communists act like conservatives in these elections because the socialists are liberal in the sense where anything goes and allows for chaos and people want stability.
Putin is not thought of as a liberal and will easily win election in Russia because he is seen as conservative.
I doubt you could avoid GE products. I worked for GE many years ago, which is how I ended up with the stock (employee investment program). Appliances is only one part of their business. I strongly suspect that electrical production equipment and turbines are still a significant part of their portfolio, as well as jet engines. I suspect the only way I could avoid GE would be to get off the grid and buy solar or wind from a non GE company.
Many years (1965) ago I had a boss who was a writer from Barcelona. He had been imprisoned under Franco during the civil war. He had been beaten so badly that one of his eyes pointed in a different direction than the other. Franco was a Fascist, and used Nazi support to fight the Communists who used Soviet support. Military testing for WWII.
He was conservative, but not of the free-market variety. Lots of central industrial planning and government intrusion.
