And don’t forget Spain, 1936-39.

Why wasn’t the Church’s property expropriated when fascism was defeated in 1945? After all, the Church was an ally of Spain’s Franco and his friends Hitler and Mussolini, making it an enemy combatant and material supporter of that vicious doctrine.

In a year or two, Obama will serve this agreement up with the ease of a microwave burrito, and his loyal fans will thank him for the gourmet entree.

I read his “Living Poor with Style” in the early 1970′s. It had a great influence on my life in my late teens and early twenties. I will miss him.

Yeah, I spend a lot more time over at Naked Capitalism. FDL used to be unique. Now it’s just more of the 24 hour horse race coverage that can be found at all the other progressive political sites.

Figuring out Obama is simple. There is a key, a unified field, a philosopher’s stone that can be used in every instance. This is it, try it: He’s not on our side.

medicinecat commented on the blog post What Does Obama Hope to Accomplish with Another Four Years?
What does he hope to do? Six major things come to mind. 1) Cut Social Security. 2) Cut Medicare. 3) Cut Medicaid. 4) Involve the US in a war with Iran. 5) Preserve tax-cuts for the wealthy. 6) Create more tax cuts for the wealthy.
And, while it’s just a hunch, I think he’d love to break a major teacher’s union the way Reagan did with PATCO. Think of the high-octane neo-lib cred that would provide to his “legacy”.

Well, my painting of Graceland from the Modern Baroque Era of Painting sur Velvet, the 1970′s, is much more valuable than the Thom Kinkade Graceland 50th Anniversary piece. Even if it is unsigned.

American lemmings were drawn to his paintings like moths to light*. How’s that for mixing metaphors?

The only other alternative is political and historical ignorance. Which I haven’t entirely ruled out.

You’re a real class act.
And we know what class you advocate for, Mr. Right-Wing Plant.

Zinn’s first words in this interview, and I quote: “I am an anarchist . . .”
Adam, you’re trying to use a shoehorn to cram reality into something that fits your worldview. And that is the manipulating right-wing worldview of a plant.
