Right on. Whether of the International and De Jure variant (Communist) or the National and De Facto variant (Nazi), the inescapable inference to be drawn is that the terror actually experienced in real socialist countries springs from the nature of the socialist system.
What makes you think that John Boehner and Grover Norquist are greedier than the OWS protesters?
Because they are both tea party darlings, and diametrically opposed to the goals of the OWS protesters.
Please, take them…somewhere. Anywhere but here in the United States. I’m sure you could fit them all on a small island somewhere, I’d even support government funded transportation…one way.
I think there are a lot of muslim students who are Jew haters (obviously) and the leftist activists see them as part of the oppressed that leftists focus on . If you go to a rally you will see all sorts of anti-Israel posters side by side with other posters representing the other pet lefty issues - abortion rights, wall street greed, unions, the environment, etc. The far left and the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish people are pretty much joined at the hip. Perhaps you might find a leftist professor or even Jewish leftist professor who is not anti-Israel but the activists on the streets are right there with the goals and aims of the muslim extremists.
Just a lot of strawmen and sarcasm that makes you look silly, Raskolnicov.
No its not insane, and spare the hyperbole. Rachel Corrie was a student at Evergreen State U. If you don’t think that young undergraduates can be indoctrinated by their professors then you have a lot to learn. I believe that the ideas taught to students can and does affect the actions of the students - usually affecting how they vote, but also inspiring them to take extreme actions like Rachel Corrie did. Ultimately Corrie is responsible for her own actions but professors ought to think about how their words and teaching can have an effect on others.
More hyperbole and strawmen- I can see I hit a nerve. I’m a bit disappointed but I shouldn’t be surprised when gullible people fail to open their eyes to what goes on campuses around the country.
You think that the protesters are not greedy? If so, you have a complete lack of understanding regarding greed.
Greed: An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth:
Newsflash…we’ve taxed the upper class earners progressively for the last hundred years in America. And won two world wars doing so
Flash We still tax the upper class progressively In fact the top 25% of all earners pay 84% of all Federal income taxes. Of course given woefull state of public education in his country I am sure very few of OSW realize this. I am sure they are part of the 47% that pay no income tax still think that’s too much.
Reagan suffered tax increases after the Democrat controlled House and Senate reneged on a deal to cut excess spending to counterbalance certain tax increases.
The point being the richest paid progressively more than the poor, and we won both those world wars as a result of it.
How can one make a strawman of a collection of assertions that is already so fantastically ridiculous?
I presume if they were taught to acceot your values it wouldn’t be indoctrination though? At any rate, who’d more to blame, the hypothetical college professor (which I suppose is just your way of assuming that she couldn’t possible believe what she thought on her own) who we can speculate brainwashed her into supporting Palestians’ rights (the horror!) indirectly leading her to take a trip to the West Bank or Gaza and get bulldozed… or the person who definitely existed who actually bulldozed her!! Which one is more morally culpable, ishii? I already suspect I know the answer. The one who disagrees with your politics, right?
In the end I suppose we’re going nowhere though. I’m waiting to be reasonably convinceed and you’re apparently waiting for me to have an epiphany on the road to Damascus.
And, we’re still taxing the upper class earners progressively. What does that have to do with my post? I guess you are just ranting?
