I seriously wonder why these anti capitalists who have flourished in this republic not only support those that are calling for anarchy, but replacement of our society with a soviet style dictatorship that will tend to every need of every citizen, until it runs aground on its own.
Bill Maher is fighting socialism’s status as a four-letter word in America. For some who have had hands-on experience with socialist states, this is total BS, besides being incredibly naive.
So perhaps Maher and his ilk should experience true socialism, with its warm and cuddly side. Confiscate all his wealth for the better good, and tell hime to speak what he wants, as long as he wont might forcible relocation to the polar region..and reeducation to be more pure in his thoughts...
Yes, Maher loathes America, but has no problem enjoying its freedoms and progress.
ReplyDeleteI started to pass this by but someone needs to counter this. No one is calling for anarchy, just for the regulations that prevented the abuses of corporations that have raped the US economy and economies around the world. For the last few decades the corporations have spent billions to buy Congress and have the regulations removed that actually helped keep the economy going and prevented the mess the US and world is currently facing. Perhaps you should study history a bit more.
ReplyDeleteWhat people want is the abuses of corporations to end. Like the abuse of the Koch brothers on a farmer. The Koch brothers wanted to build a pipeline across a farmer's land and he told them no, he did want to sell his land for the pipeline, that it would spilt his farm in the middle. Well, property is 9/10 of the law, correct. Except when it comes to rich corporations. They went to the state and got the government to seize the land in eminent domain and have it handed to the Koch brothers. I guess it is OK for corporations to steal from the people in your world.
Bill's my buddy. He tells it like it is. Boy the Republicans have brain washed you.
ReplyDeleteI think we started down a slippery slope way back when banks started being deregulated. I'm sure not for socialism, but I'm not for a lot of the abuses of the free-market system that both parties have allowed. Both parties seem to be looking out for the incredibly wealthy---but mostly in the form of the corporations: trying to pass the abuses of corporations as free-market capitalism (instead of globalist exploitation of the little working stiff just trying to get by). Clinton was just as bad as either Bush. Obama is as bad as they can get. I mean, three years after making banks and corporations even richer, he FINALLY discovers that people are OUT OF WORK! Work that Clinton and the Bushes sent elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteMaher is just a wise-ass, snot-nose punk! A rich, loudmouthed hypocrite son of capitalism.
Well, at least we have differing views on here.....about 50% of them ill informed if not ignorant.
ReplyDeleteBill tells his OPINION.......he doesn't put anything in context. The Koch brothers? Really? Are we going to jump on Soros as well?
And yes, but the left supporting these mindless, "occupy idiots", they are calling for anarchy. Do we seriously NOT think that the left is going to try to utilize this rabble as a reason to discuss imposing martial law?
What corporation would we eviscerate? Apple? The one that makes our cell phones? AT&T, the one that carries the signal? Microsoft? The one that provides me the four computers in my house? Wal Mart, where about 75% of us shop regularly? How about Casey's, the major convenience store in the midwest?
If you want reform you actually have to propose something so the people in the real world know what to act on. Spell out the "abuses" and recommend the desired changes. Otherwise your opinions are worthless......and you will get stuck with the result.
BTW.....Target called......they want their TV back.
I am not a Republican, and labelling me brainwashed really shows how little you know of me.

ReplyDeleteI do not disagree with you.....if actual KNOWLEDGE was a requirement for being heard, that prick would be mute.
