This is a non issue. Get the rubes worked up over some chump change bonuses.

The real issue is the stimulus package, the keynesian hog fest designed by people who'll profit when labor costs and real estate values hit rock bottom. Tax cuts, pork, and deficit spending indeed. The government needs to redo it and pronto. We need Clinton economic policy now. And there's plenty they can do against the financial robber barons in aig and elsewhere. They should track the sleazy profits of the last year, tax them into the treasury, and replace the barons with competent managers.

But the government can't do anything without massive public support. Join liberal NGOs, speak out, build liberal media to talk back at commercial media. Time is running out. Until we all get involved, the economy will continue in free fall.

Alaska doesn't need it. They're already flush with government cash, not to mention

the oil company dough. But the public are too lazy to actually consider the facts. To them she's a rough ridin', straight shootin' calaboos, and so juicy.

None of that changes the fact that the stimulus is a keynesian hot fest that won't fix anything. Tax cuts, pork, and deficit spending indeed. It's shocking that Obama and the dems would put forward this trash. We need Clinton economic policy and pronto. Only neo liberlism will restore the market in a reasonable time. But again, the public barely noticed the Clintons' successes and didn't bother with the details. By the time they get around to actually studying the issues, we'll all be in bread lines.

The stimulus was horrible, a keynesian hog fest that won't fix anything.

Now Obama refuses to nationalize the banks in which we own controlling shares, or replace the robber barons with competent auditors and managers. He had me conned by swiping the Clinton agenda from day one of the primary. But he refuses to use neo liberal policy, which could restore the market system in two shakes. It's disappointing, if not terrifying.

Of course we have to track all Bush era profits and tax them into the treasury.

But nothing will be done until the public get off their lazy as--- and make a ruckus, in the voting booth, opinion polls, and NGOs. Liberal players need to finance a quality network to challenge commercial media. And electing a few genuine socialists would make the robber barons see the light real quick. Unfortunately, by the time the public even get around to studying the issues, we'll all be in bread lines.

Original article: Let Geithner fail

Now we're feeling the loss of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

No way they would have made the mistakes Obama is making. They would already be using neo liberal policy to restore the economy, instead of this keynesian hog fest Obama has served up.

Now we are feeling the loss of Bill and Hillary. The left forced the less knowledgeable

Obama on us. And for many of us, having an African American in the Presidency was worth the risk.

Now he doesn't use neo liberal policy to get us out of this mess, as he should after swiping the Clinton agenda during the campaign. Instead, he puts forward a hog fest, keynesian stimulus that won't fix a thing. He refuses to nationalize banks we already own, refuses to put in competent managers, doesn't bother with new regulation, and wants another few trillion with no strings just like the Bush administration. But we don't have time for more outdated measures.

The democrats, meanwhile, are sitting on their hands. It's too much bother to force Obama to adopt Clinton economic policy, or do more than make excuses for his fumbling. It's so much easier to be distracted by the nonstop nonsense of dingbat, liberal pundits.

If the democrats, and the left in particular, allow the first African American President to fail, they will have disgraced themselves beyond forgiveness.

Original article: Is Obama wrong?

Exactly what are in these trash securities? Are the bad mortgages? If so,

they can be fixed, re-written with interest rates and payments set for the borrowers, with a small profit for DC. If they are losses of the financial barons, they should be dumped.

The other main issue is the stimulus. Reid and Pulosi promised no pork, then stuffed it with tax cuts, pork, and deficit spending. The dems, meanwhile, sit on their hands, and an army of dingbat pundits talk of non issues. The stimulus needs to be re-done using Clinton economic policy. And the democrats need to work on the massive battles for practical reform of the economy.

Original article: R.I.P. Women's Movement

Feminism is long past its shelf life. Fighting for equal rights and defending women

against violence was important work. But Western women today are the most priviledged group on Earth. That they want more is another example of the extreme selfishness of mass culture.

It seems time for a bit of self criticism from feminists. The gay movement and black movement are self aware. When are women going to catch up? For instance, blaming war and ecological catastrophe on men is too absurd. Women contribute big time by demanding goods and services from men. Or maybe we've never heard of women looking for a 'good provider'.

Please give the oppressed minority schtick a rest and own up to your faults as a people.

Kamiya's inconsistencies are extremely important to the American left.

They are more excuses to ignore the central messages of christianity: to serve the poor and the oppressed, replenish the earth, and actually work for justice. Obsessing on irrellevant flaws and mental masturbation is more fun than behaving responsibly.

fightthetheocracy, the left does a bit, true. They do a lot more of

sitting on their a-ses and acting self righteous. Liberal churches do the most work.

Let's not forget. It was the far left that ignored third grade arithmetic, voted for Nader, and put Bush in office.

I'm sorry. I didn't know there's a theocracy in this country. There are religious people and creepizoid fundys all over the place. But lumping them together seems counterproductive. And a theocracy probably would have shutdown rival religions by now.

Fighting scapegoats is an old tactic of the far left to avoid having to take action. Formerly it was the corporation that was omnipotent evil, which relieved the audience from the hard work of liberation.
