Statist Idolatry

Jesus H. P. Christ! The Republicans have used 9/11 for nothing other than statist idolatry for the last 8 years.

If the Republicans have learned one thing in the art of propaganda, it is to accuse your opponent of doing exactly that which you do yourself.

Original article: The making of Glenn Beck

Beck is a clown.

Beck is not a conservative, nor is he a libertarian. To actually be one of those requires a degree of thought and understanding of the world of which Beck is incapable.

But there's no shortage of money to be made in telling simpletons things that they like to hear.

Ummm, it wasn't America's socialists who decided to move half of our manufacturing jobs to communist China...

Wake up and smell the coffee - this is the Reaganomics endgame. And it's not gonna change any time soon.

@ jackwilson

"He's surrounded by socialists, his economic views are based on the distribution of wealth and the superiority of government over free enterprise."

Because one of the 2 major political parties in America has been overrun by these crazies, and that is an issue.

Are these the same folks

Two things...

1) @ taxpayer: If you think America is going to become a socialist country any time soon, you should go sit at the kiddie table and leave discussions about important issues to adults. Don't get up until you finish your lima beans.

2) It's nice to know that the goodly concerned White Wingers in America are concerned about what muslims in our military might do. It's not like any other products of our military might do something like rent a truck, pack it with explosives, and blow up an office building.

Original article: Peak globalization

Peak Capitalism

Energy and climate aside, at some point we're going to reach Peak Capitalism. That is, there will be a point where natural resource depletion will run into maximum-sustainability population. Capitalism is basically predicated on the temporary truth that there will always be more resources and more consumers. Neither is infinite.
