It is such a shame Allende did not get to turn Chile into a paradise like East Germany or Cuba.

In 50 years, Cuba has become a total basket case where there is no freedom, where books are proscribed and where there have been 8000 documented political executions so far, and counting.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND 'PWOGWESSIVES'!!!

Pwogwessives refuse to notice the brutality which always comes from their wunnerful pwogwessive fantasies.

For once in my life, I might agree with Glennn about something, but for very different reasons.

I used to wonder how Clinton's favorite Lincoln Bedroom guest, Sandy Weill of Citi, could be so untouchable, after he was so obviously the main man in both the Enron and Worldcom scandals, which hurt so many people.

And, then, throughout Clinton's zipperless presidency, there was Goldman's Robert Rubin, whispering in his ear.

And now, we've gone from Bush's Goldman guy, Paulson, to 0baba's different Goldman Sachs guys. Are the names just different? Are they all the same?

Yes, there is an elite Wall Street and corporate network which has great political clout.

These people did not get to be elite just by knowing Mayor Daley. These people embrace 15 hour days. They work hard at being Alpha, and they are very smart.

And, maybe the Solomon guy has a point.

However, I think whatever point he may have, it would be twisted and contorted by the pointy little head of Glennn Greenwalt, because I always get the feeling that Glennn has his own left wing agenda, which he masks by calling himself a "progressive," votebber dot means. Glennn willl not come out and reveal his own politics. Who cares that he is gay?

I would like to know what fuels and inspires Glennn's very political purposes. If not Argentina and Russia, what society, government and economics does Glennn have in mind for us?

Doesn't he embrace a lot of the methods of Argentine and Russian demogagues? Doesn't he kind of dig the story of Eva Peron? Doesn't he get happy wheneve Vlad Putin tweaks the USA?

Doesn't he demonize those who are so clearly opposed to our country turning into an Argentina, a Cuba, an East Germany or a Russia? Isn't it the conservatives who really worry that we could become another failed socialistic state?

Didn't these basket cases embrace the very politics Glennn so avidly espouses? You know, demonizing and bullying "the rich," and promising some kind of easy equality and prosperity to everyone, regardless of their willingness to work hard to improve their own lots?

What does Glennn want? What and who has informed Glenn's politics? Will Glennn ever willingly and openly come out and embrace Noam Chomsky, and then explain how the mean logic of Chomsky would not again lead to the results we have seen in Argentina and Russia?

All those words from Kamiya, and not a peep about who let the murderer out?

And, do you think all those cops liked having Boxer, Dellums and Newsom there?

What's next?

Will they soon notice that Baba Boxer is an idiot and a demagogue?

Truth it truth, living on too much debt got us to this horrible situation, and you want to ignore it!

You can't worry about too much debt? Is Alfred E. Neuman the perfect progressive - with his ideals so high, he cannot be bothered checking out the consequences of just printing more and more money to pay for all of this wonderful shit?

Why is it so strange for you to get that too much debt is not something you can not ignore?

You are suffering from a disease you can not hide. You live in a make believe world, and scream at people, even from your own party, who say you need to get real.

How do you think we pay for all this shit you are dreaming up?

Your politicians like Barney Frank and Nancy P try not to say it, but they know the government can just print more and more money.

They're gonna be OK so why should they worry about the consequences of printing more and more money?

But, shouldn't you be a little concerned about this? Isn't it quite natural to be aware that experience tells us that doing this has wrecked economies from Argentina to Germany?

Do you think that, THIS TIME, this shit will work without beggaring all of us?

Are you so conceited?

This may be why gun ownership is becoming our top growth industry.
