		<description>What?  Mr. X is a sexist and ageist and rage-ist who would rip my MLS away from me?  For shame. And such potty language on this site.  I&#039;m shocked, shocked, shocked. How old are you guys, anway? 13?  And here I was a loyal Democrat all those years.  Doesn&#039;t pay to leave the plantation. Or maybe it does.</description>

		<description>I object to Norma being referred to as a &quot;librarian&quot;. She may have had that title once upon a time, but now she&#039;s some crazy old bat that passes on crap like this in her &quot;well researched blog&quot;.</description>

		<description>After reaching &quot;anarchist, totalitarian movements&quot; I had to stop reading.  Though curious to see just how far from reality he might stray, I feared I might not have enough bread crumbs to find my way back.  I know he didn&#039;t have enough.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know why you people complain now.  Mr. Limbaugh has spent twenty years defining &quot;right-wing political commentary&quot; as &quot;pulling a whole bunch of &#039;facts&#039; out of one&#039;s arse&quot;, sticking them together with near-random strings of political words (&quot;anarchist totalitarians&quot;), and then hurling the resultant mud pies at &#039;liberals&#039; (i.e., anyone to the left of B. Mussolini).

As this blog exists to recount, our political discourse long ago sank to the level only an ignorant, drug-addled psychopath could confuse with reality. Little wonder G.W. Bush occupies the Oval Office.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;When the Bolsheviks took control of Russian, murdering the Czar, his wife and his children, they established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and unleashed a reign of terror upon the world that was to last 80 years, killing many tens of thousands of its own citizens of its own people.&lt;/i&gt;

What a missed opportunity!  &quot;Tens of thousands&quot; my ass, try tens of &lt;i&gt;millions&lt;/i&gt;!  This numbnuts can&#039;t even get his hyperbole right.  Gah, not even hyperbole, it&#039;s a plain fact that Stalin himself killed tens of millions with his bare hands (at the behest of the the leftist anarchist totalitarians, natch).  What gives?  How dare he downplay the left&#039;s greatest achievement!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I realise this has been said many times before, but still: the Daily fucking Mail?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I thought, for a moment, that he&#039;d intended to write &#039;Daily Mirror&#039;, which would have been closer to the truth. But then he qualified it by mentioning Lord Rothermere.</description>

		<description>&quot;If one looks at the antecedents of the modern left, today, one can go back to the Russian Revolution, and the many Socialist and anarchist elements fermenting beneath the surface of the Russian Revolution.&quot;

You know you&#039;re in (cue theme from The Magnificent Seven)...Wingnut Country! when they start using the pseudo-intelligent, fussy-wussy &quot;one.&quot;  This is how your Marie Jon&#039;s (hey, wait.  We have a nice little chain of supermarkets here in LA called Jon&#039;s), your Kaye Grogans, your Pastor Swanks write--or, as they might prefer, &quot;pen.&quot;

(What a lineup; one can see them in the eyeball of one&#039;s mind, clambering out of a small VW in the center ring) 

The statement that unions are anti-capitalistic is the dumbest thing written by man or monster this week, BTW.  Yes, harsh words.  And I mean them to sting.</description>

Though presumably Pinochet was. And Carlos Castillo Armas. And the El Salvadorean ARENA party. And the Maoist Joseph Savimbi. And... I could go on.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Sure, someone has to be an advocate for those who do not have the resources to fight for themselves in a more and more complex society, but this is not where the Left focuses its energies; its main focus is attempting to siphon off capital from society to give to people who do not contribute to society in any way that justifies this capital.&lt;/i&gt;

&#039;Cos, you know, when we break &#039;em, we just want &#039;em to die. We don&#039;t want &#039;em hanging around rattling tin cups and making nuisances of themselves. Just die, that&#039;s all we ask.

&lt;i&gt;It is the best equivalent, today of anarchist, totalitarian movements that have always plagued society.&lt;/i&gt;

Bwahahahahaha! Oh, someone&#039;s already done the anarchist totalitarian gag. Bummer. Well, how about the &quot;always plagued society&quot; bit? As far as I can tell, and I&#039;m not an expert like Mr. Aas, the main thing plaguing society has been greedy selfish bastards who want more than their fair share and are willing to do all sorts of violence nastiness to get it. Not lefty types whose brains are exploding from trying to manifest a tautology.

&lt;i&gt;the left has a self-interest in never improving their position in life.&lt;/i&gt;

Whut? Whusseesay?

&lt;i&gt;If one looks at the antecedents of the modern left, today, one can go back to the Russian Revolution,&lt;/i&gt;

One could also go back to the French Revolution. Or, even, the American revolution. You know, throwing off the English overlords and all that.

&lt;i&gt;When the Bolsheviks took control of Russian, murdering the Czar, his wife and his children, they established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and unleashed a reign of terror upon the world that was to last 80 years, killing many tens of thousands of its own citizens of its own people.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;ll leave you to snigger at the &quot;many tens of thousands of its own citizens of its own people&quot;, and just ask, Didn&#039;t the actions of, say, the UK and US have quite a lot to do with what went on in Russia? In particular, the activities between the wars, and after the second world war?

BWAHAHAhahahahahaha! &lt;i&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/i&gt;, leftist! Ahahaha! Mmmff. Ahahaha.

Okay, that&#039;s really enough crap. This man is not only unable to run a spelling and grammar check for himself, he&#039;s also drawing facts from some hitherto unregarded source, possibly his own arse. 

What a tossbucket. When I was a wee kitten, I was taught that lying was bad, and naughty girls who lied would be smacked. Where&#039;s his mother, when she should be whaling into him with a fly swat or a wooden spoon (my mother&#039;s weapons of choice)?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;it forces a wage scale upon the business that has no real relationship to the realities of the market.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unions are a reality of the market. The fact that they can force a wage scale on businesses &lt;i&gt;makes&lt;/i&gt; them one. These free enterprise fuckheads think everyone &lt;i&gt;except labor&lt;/i&gt; is entitled to seek maximum profit for the good or service they provide.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In fact, though, if one examines these positions [unionization of the working class] carefully, one can detect a basic, underlying theme, which changes the benevolent image of the left in a dramatic way. Unionism is, basically, anti-Capitalist. Sure, it changes the living standard of the worker, in the short term, but it forces a wage scale upon the business that has no real relationship to the realities of the market.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, sure, I&#039;m anti-capitalist. And it&#039;s pretty admirable how this numbnut is incapable of distinguishing between capitalism and democracy.

But unions are anti-capitalist? Shit, someone better tell the AFL-CIO that they&#039;re really slacking off in their goal of destroying the free market. Essentially, the implicit definition of &quot;capitalism&quot; here is &quot;businesses get whatever they want at all times.&quot; Businesses are inherently a collaboration by capital to exert more power than the individuals involved would be able to exert in the market alone. If unions are anti-capitalist, so are businesses -- from minor partnerships to enormous trans-nationals.

Of course, these idiot right-wingers seem to be literally incapable of distinguishing between any ideological positions to their left. Note the recent statement by Marie Jon&#039; that the Democrats are Marxists.</description>
