…nationalized some key industries, managed their currencies and made some massive state investments. They also introduced price controls, wage controls and other types of economic planning measures. …instituted state-regulated allocation of resources, especially in the financial and raw materials sectors.

Other than nationalization of certain industries, private property was allowed, but property rights and private initiative were contingent upon service to the state.

The Democrats are and have been telling us that it is not okay to be angry at fascism.

It tells us a lot about the direction of “Change” and “Hope” that Obama has been pushing.

The “Change” is the death of individualism. The “Hope” is an overarching, all knowing and all controlling, big government.

Rodney, I haven’t liked Judd Gregg since he was our governor, but I gotta give him his props here. He was one of the main negotiators from the Senate Republicans, and I understand that he was a big reason the House Republicans’ problems were addressed.

I agree the picture makes the Democrats look like the glory hounds they are, but it isn’t quite as bad as Rob makes it look — they didn’t exclude the Republicans, they just shoved ‘em aside to get front and center themselves. And in Reid and Pelosi’s cases, it’s kind of justified — they ARE the leaders of the two Houses. Frank, though… the man’s a frakking disgrace, and has been for years.

The old axiom that if you work hard and play by the rules in America, you can get ahead has been thrown away. Now it is if you bite off more than you can chew, lie or hide the truth, the government will steal from the hard working folks to cover their losses.

Our founding fathers are crying today.

Zsa Zsa is a lovely, kind, intelligent and decent woman with more class in the tip of her little finger than you will ever have in your entire body.

If that is the case, why does she pick on someone’s weight?

What a porker! – Zsa Zsa

Correction… What Porkers. What a sty! – Zsa Zsa

I don’t understand how anyone with class could be so cruel and so shallow and so classless. That is all Zsa Zsa offers.

She couldn’t even offer an argument to accompany her childish and crude, shallow insults.

You are attacking a woman many of us here at SA admire greatly, and a woman that holds our affections.

They you should encourage her to curb her classless behavior.

ews48,

Thanks for the vid link. WOW. Very powerful stuff. Quick explanation as to why this happened.

Things are still looking great. Now since the government has decided to get into business, the first deal they make is to sell $400 billion of good WaMu assets to the Rockefellers for less than $2 billion. The next deal they make is to buy $700 billion worth of worthless assets in the hopes that house prices will grow back to amounts where no one can afford them or that inflation will be high enough to make the prices seem normal.

Now that the government is a business entity, does this mean we can do a turn around and just fire the President and a bunch of Congressmen and Senators?

This was caused by the government being involved with private business.

Here’s a video for those of you who still believe that electing McCain or Obama is going to make a difference.

Zsa Zsa is a classless woman.

That makes me mad! Zsa Zsa is a lovely, kind, intelligent and decent woman with more class in the tip of her little finger than you will ever have in your entire body. You are attacking a woman many of us here at SA admire greatly, and a woman that holds our affections.

So dropinzee dead!

It is fair to generalize that the people in the above photo are morally bankrupt.

It’s fair to criticize them for teh job they are doing. It is moronic, and classless to refer to them as “porkers”, no matter how you might try to spin it afterwards.

Zsa Zsa’s comments are fair game as is Palin’s. Palin put herself out there by accepting the pick of VP and Zsa Zsa put herself out there for making asinine remarks.

If you guys weren’t sexist idiots, you would recognize that she is being judged on her thoughts and behavior. That is where we are today as a society.

What you are attempting to do is pretend that she is somehow above this. She is not.

You attack Michele, you attack Maureen Dowd, I attack those who say stupid things.

Grow up.

It is also safe to generalize that those who share their beliefs also share a kind moral and ethical leprosy. This congress is a catastrophe and not without blame no matter how hard you spin it.

You are an idiot. They solved the problem and the Republicans jumped on board and accepted it because they could not come up with any ideas of their own except their pitiful ideology.

I think you are a useless piece Mickey. I have never seen you offer an argument that wasn’t laced in your emotional garbage that prevents you from making any substantive point.

This is a blog you idiot. If you are going to make idiotic remarks you are putting yourself out there for criticism and that includes any and all.

The cast of broadway’s “Animal Farm”, with the pig’s at front center.

We all got her point. You mocking her for this is even stupider than Republicans bitching about Obama calling Palin a pig…when he was clearly referring to McCain.

I completely disagree. The work “porker” has no affiliation to any political effort. Pork? Yes! Porker? NO!

When Zsa Zsa used the work Porker, at best it was a double entendre. Double Entendre’s have two mutually exclusive meanings. And neither one applies appropriately, except for being extremely insulting.

Stop making excuses for her. Let her actions and words speak themselves. She is a capable woman. She should be held responsible for her actions as the rest of us are.

Should we mock you then? Your criticism of Zsa Zsa IS rather Vapid after all. And even when pointed out what she meant, you deny it? That’s not change I can believe in.

Kenny………….I am mocked constantly on this site. Where have you been???

Hannitized really makes this too easy! Heh.

Perhaps you and your neighbours should do something about that.

It’s disgusting. If for no other reason than a crisis of this magnitude and torching $700B in taxpayer dollars is absolutely NOT a time for fun and frivolity. The fucking mood should be as somber as any other time in recent memory.

How angry and hostile the Republican party has become. Wow, the rage of this party is evident not only in their responses, but also their candidate.

McCain, the porker, is an angry and hostile man. Much like those Republicans on this site.

Zsa Zsa is a classless woman.

eunuchized the beardless catamite really is a slimy pile of excrement and troll extraordinaire…

Hard to believe any naval officer would willingly spend any time with it, until one considers that John Fracking Kerry and James Earl “Dhimmi” Carter were both members of the fraternity as well…

Joel show us his intellectual level style of argument, reminiscent of the 3rd grade.

I reiterate:

You lying doody-poopoo face. You lying kaka-peepee, doody head, pooey face.

Who reminds us of being in the 3rd grade??

These evil looking bunch of criminals belong in Rogues Gallery.

More like jackals or nasty parasites.

What a porker!

Now that all this Bipartisan “BullShit” is over with, in the interest of “Getting Something Done”……,

The “Bell” needs to be rung Long, and Loud about the “Liberals” who Put us here, until AMERICA “Gets” It!

They keep saying Bush Lied..
How ’bout Bush “Tried”..

Zsa Zsa,

You remind me of a girl I knew in the 4th grade. She mocked my friend who had a stutter.

It was classless then as your phony attempt to label Obama as a stammerer is now.

Your hatred for him is evident by your immature displays of emotion, but not by any intelligent or substantive argument you have made against him.

Kisses.

I am mocked constantly on this site.

And here I was giving odds you were too clueless to notice! Good to know that certain efforts are not going completely unnoticed!
Tell you what…you keep being a clueless, rude and lying moron and we’ll keep mocking you! Deal?
