No time to respond right now... but I do think much of it has to do with culture and not just with political parties. People in Europe quite possibly do have very different expectations of their government(s)

And they actually participate in higher numbers then Americans! The've seen first hand and maybe have remnants of the last big war in their own backyards. They know what Fascism can do, so they demand no one left behind!

Yes. First-hand, living memory of the horrors of war does indeed influence European politics in many ways.

{capitalism does nothing to help the human race}

Because of the free market, people have longer lives, more education, liberty, better health, and are more comfortable. It is unfortunate that some seek to destroy it and regress us to a barbarous SOCIALIST past.

Very well said!

down she goes, serpent bound. Hell's mandate.

Uvery eloquent

Excellent!

Great post, Kenmo. Universal War, Destruction of God, Tyranny of capital, gold, diamonds, Belgium, NYC, Switzerland, Dubai.

Thanks!

Excellent johnny, certainly a lot of home work.

I see the right-winger puppet-pal-posse is here trolling and flagging (as usual).

I never said it was anti-semetic, you must have sent me a comment for someone else johnny!

No of course not, I simply replied to you as it is your post. My original comment was flagged and removed, and I know why. I edited out a word or two 'THEM' and 'US' type structure referenceing a certain group that did not read well and added some others.

No thank you for posting this page as it all revolves around the truth as we know it and the inevitable revolution or massive civil uprising that will make Egypt and Syria look like a mixed smoker field day. I reccommend civil disobedience and non compliance, squatting in your property and massive bankruptcy filings. We must destroy the banks.

Cheerio

Cool!

We have Fascism now, I believe that is the word your looking for. According to Benito Mussolini who actually coined the word (Fascism), he called it so as to when Corporations and Government merge!

{Years ago I said to the wife that we are entering an age of the hybrid form of government. I refer to liberalism as statism and, in the paragraph above, Marxism. It IS statism but borrows tenants from fascism, Marxism and socialist thought to arrive at a hybrid. Accordingly, to refer to it as pure Marxism, pure fascism etc. is not technically correct but until someone comes up with a word to describe this conglomeration of state over the individual thought, we will have to make do.}

You are right, of course, and I think that an all-encompassing word might be STATISM.

I think we all have - to some degree - this desire to be "taken care of," and these LEFT-WINGERS count on it. These LIBERALS present some variation of their pernicious and malevolent and sanguinary SOCIALISM, despite the HUNDRED MILLION DEAD from it.

These LIBERALS keep alive the promise that the CENTRAL AUTHORITY will manage everything and usher in the millenium. With their STATE, they can, they claim, eliminate inequality, racism, sexism, whatever freakin' "ism" they can conjure up.

Keep on fighting for freedom. Never give up.

Conservatives outnumber Left-wingers by slightly over 2 to 1.

Good effort, you need not confuse him with facts I have yet to see him budge from his ideology!

Well and absolutely truly said!

He holds desperately, dearly, clutching the Faux Noise hymnal! Shivering in terror, repeating to himself endlessly in a little boys frightened shaking voice, "they'll protect me from the leftists".

He's just a puppet. His only aim to anger people and divert them from conversing. Dude just copies and pastes the same script someone wrote for him over and over again.

Yup, a real knuckle dragger! :)

Are you the little round headed see no evil guy or the one with the gun ?

Nunsense, tell it to the pope

Spreader of the FEAR brand ,

I know him well, I have cut my strings to the puppet masters, and my jaws flap freely. He
( she) is an angry and secretive old bastard ( bitch) and I hope he ( she) is humbled in some way monetarily. Perhaps destitution is the great equalizer, and enlightenment may only be experienced in the darkness of abject despair.

What role does the Pope play in the control of the world, the management of everyone's lives, the manipulation of governments and world economies?

I am free. You are enslaved.

I don't think they can even see the damage they have been doing!

I don't think they care, it's all about "the lifestyle I've become accustomed too", The Dalton Abbey folks getting all upset at the idea they might have to move to a "smaller" mansion and estate! Oh the HORROR! Not that of course they do, just the IDEA!

Let us do as Michael Moore tried. Citizens arrests, we must rejuvinate OCCUPY and step up Anonymous operations to publish photos , names and addresses of the billionaire criminals and use the surveillance technology they designed to enforce the apartheid rule on us, on them. Let them hide in fear.

Moore is a liar and a fraud. He profited in stocks that profited by the military, for example. He was fined for despoiling the environment. Etc.

Yes, the French Revolution, according to the Leftist icon, KARL MARX himself, was the first true COMMUNIST REVOLUTION. 40,000 heads rolled. It was a sign of what was to come under LEFT-WINGER SOCIALISM.

You are fighting a losing battle there Mishy, the people are awakening! Not cartoon characters!

Agree 100%! I saw there's a movie coming out where a group does pretty much this, targets the 1%er-scum with technology, turns the tables on them! Beautiful and truly just idea!

How many heads have the neo con bilderberg illuminati slaughtered globally in the last century, and how many more will die in Iran, Syria and Africa, due to Capitalism ?

Keep me apprised of this Movie will ya,?

I know, it is all the schemers and plotters. Once we rid ourselves of the cabal, we will see the Arcadia, the Shangri-La, ushered in. All we have to do is have a higher consciousness and see the TRUTH about the manipulation of the world economies and governments. Then, we will have the paradise we are being denied. I have seen the light!

Why are the facts of life, the truth about the human condition, the reality of the world, and history over the eons - why are these so difficult to accept for you?

You almost have it, keep smoking bananas

McKinley murdered 200,000 Philipine civilians in 1899, in a colonial excursion fueled by the need to attack Spain over Cuba. How many Millions of Vietnamese civilians, women and children were slaughtered during our cold war phoney fight against the 'Domino' effect in southeast asia, all because of war profiteering and capitalism. Iraq, Afghanistan, how many slaughtered in the name of Halliburton and Exxon-mobil, the Carlylse Group, Citi bank, Boeing, General Dynamics, Martin Lockeed, Blackwater, now called ACADEMI
( of death). Our military is a mercenary killing force, sole purpose to fuel the fortunes of the puppet master corporations that control our national interests.

I read somewhere recently that polling shows that americans are finally realizing that the old-bull$hit meme (propaganda) we grew up with, that as you said, if we work hard we'll "get ahead", is a LIE. I see it as a good thing, that people are finally waking up to the truth of it, the BIG-LIE! It is all rigged for the 1%ers, and corporates. Time for REAL change!

Yes, a Revolution!

Start with.prosecution of too big to fail banks for treason .
Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200,000,000,000 dollars !

Arrested by the People's Army perhaps?

I had a different experience. My brother had a different experience. My cousin married a man from Europe who had moved to America for the dream: I enjoy going to her house in the summer, lounging at her pool now. My kids both are living the dream and doing well. My friends who CHOSE to work are doing well. I am around people who are doing well because they worked, delayed gratification, and invested. They ain't rich, but they are comfortable.

These people all appreciate the bounty. They do not blame the "system." They do not consider themselves "victims." They recognize their strengths and weaknesses.

Most of all, they are fully aware that we make our lives. We are the summation of our previous actions and decisions. That is the truth, not the idea that people do well or poorly because of "luck" or GOVERNMENT. THAT, DEAR SIR, IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

{ if we work hard we'll "get ahead", is a LIE}

It is not a lie. My children, my brother's children, my cousin's children, my friends' children attest to this. I attest to this, along with my relatives - brother, cousins, uncles, nephews - and friends.

If one wants to compare oneself - MOTIVATED BY SHEER, UNADULTERATED ENVY - to the fabulously wealthy, one can do that and claim failure, of course. But more power to them because if one wants to succeed in the greatest country in the world, one can do it.

Hey, bub, there ain't no guarantees, and I know that freakin' craven advocates for socialism want those guarantees. They are poltroons, timorous of any possible chance of failure. But that is to be afraid of life itself.

There is a big country, and an even bigger world. I feel sorry for those who wallow in self-pity, blaming society and the "evil rich" for their own sense of failure.

Yeah, blame the rich.

Or, one could look within one's self, of course.

Bully

Quite right, carry on

Well said!

Hey, Kenny - been there, done that. On the local economy. For years.

How's about you?

I actually have European citizenship! Got Irish citizenship before it became part of the EU, so now my citizenship is also EU.

I do not covet thy neighbor's goods or wife. I do not believe in the WALMART philosophy, I believe in ABUNDANCE, not scarcity.

Wait till my cousins in the south hear about your subversive activities,

South of what?
