Socialism is a euphemism for... (Part 1)

Socialism is a euphemism for... (Part 1)
This is one of the best perspectives I have ever read.— May 14, 2013 11:30 a.m.
The Fall of Western Civilization at a North Park Coffeehouse
Dadler, how do you reconcile Obama's relationship with GE? Not a word from the left. Not a word about Libya. Not a word about all the things that Obama does that's straight from the Bush playbook. If you'd do your homework, and see that the Tea Party wants to go after those who are ripping off the American Tax Payer, you'd probably join them. Which billionaires are you referring to? Ridicule, blanket statements and dismissiveness is the trademark that those on the left MUST use to bolster their claims. Good job, you covered all the necessary bases. As far as Tea Party people screaming, you must be kidding. One quick look at the union thugs in WI, and you'll see that there's NO comparison. NONE. I salute your unbridled exchange of ridicule, as your ideas are lacking in, well, ideas.— May 2, 2011 7:39 p.m.
The Fall of Western Civilization at a North Park Coffeehouse
Damn. Danny boy, I had all sorts of retorts until I read your beautifully put piece. I would like to add a couple things: When did ridicule, belittlement, bullying, and threats constitute an point of view? I definitely have had my left leanings, but I've never needed to resort to chiding someone for their opposing view. That's weak. It's also why I went with the Tea Party crew, since I want accountability in my government. How that gets construed as racist is unbelievable. I just look at the Unions and their crazy behavior and my choice is easy. How they treated Palin in WI says it all.— May 2, 2011 7:21 p.m.
Top Exec Pay Soars; Average Worker Barely Staying Even
We have a banana in charge--just love the fact that while I'm paying four bucks a gallon for gas, our president is galavanting to brazil to help fire up oil wells in the gulf--all while taking his sweet crude time issuing permits to drill on our own behalf. I'll be shocked if we ever get to have our own oil production in the US again. Ok, now I've started a rant. If ALL we did was FIX the traffic lights, we'd eliminate global warming, we'd get to work on time, and not see nearly the road rage that we have now. Stop signs? Give me a break--90% entirely UNNECESSARY! If just those TWO things were to change, I'd make up for the 30% reduction in my wages, not to mention the increase in how much everything else is costing. deep breath— April 6, 2011 6:28 p.m.
Five-Hour Drive from San Diego to Las Vegas? I Can Do It in Four
To the writer, great story, and I'd bet your dad loves you unconditionally regardless of not joining the service, because it takes a huge level of commitment, and it's not for everyone. He knows you've been in support of what and who he is. And tell your dad thanks for me as well. My brother joined the Naval Academy and served in over Kosovo. I couldn't sign up for what he did. Huge respect for what our military does, and who they are. Surfpup, couldn't have said it any better. Right on.— March 25, 2011 6:51 p.m.
Turkado, I Say, at Board & Brew
I was there when Tom opened the Board n Brew longer than I care to admit. Here's an honest business owner who's fed the "less than affluent" Del Mar locals with the best deal on food- really great food- for decades, and the long lines every day are testament to his great food and business acumen. Baja Chicken, extra jalapenos, and a bag of jalapeno chips. Winning. Oh, and a Turkado with peperoncini's for the wifey. Bi-winning.— March 25, 2011 6:16 p.m.
Marines Who Rock
Rip it up guys! Thanks for the hard work you do and especially for your sacrifices. OOOH RA! a thousand times. As a fellow musician, I have YOU guys to thank for my freedom to play whatever music I choose, say what I want, and have an opinion that I won't go to jail for or get shot. I choose to say thank you. Stay safe guys.— March 25, 2011 6 p.m.
No Labor Protests in San Diego
But in the last 15 years I have realized it is corporate excesses that are the enemy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm referring only to the unions that I'm watching in Wisconsin--the public sector unions. It's seems that it's an entitlement mentality across the board in this country that's been adding to an unsustainable economy. As far as "big money corrupting politics", how about Imelt (GE) getting a gigantic tax break,,,a huge Obama contributor? The corruption (the unions AND corporations) runs both ways, and for both parties. Government should be in the business of taking care of administering, and get paid the same that they would as a private sector EMPLOYEE--Not CEO's. That, plus extreme campaign finance reform (all parties get the same air time and same campaign money-none of which would come from unions OR corporations, but from taxpayers and be minimal) will get you and I a cup of coffee, I reckon.— March 25, 2011 5:44 p.m.
No Labor Protests in San Diego
I guess that between Don and the other poster about racism that the logical conclusion would be that the racists referred to are the Tea Party people. I just hope that when the general public sees the damage that the unions have done to the economies of Wisconsin as well as many other cities throughout the country, the public will vote out those politicians bought by the unions. Unions were a useful tool back in the day, up until they became under the control of people like Trumka. Don, when you were with the SD union tribune, I depended on you to be the fiscal cop for this town, and TAXPAYERS are paying the workers who pay into these union dues, which fund Democratic interests. If it's wrong for the Koch brothers, a PRIVATE corp, to donate to Republican causes, then it's REALLY wrong when public sector unions do it. Look out for the Taxpayers, that's you and me. The Unions have become a scam on the Taxpayers, especially in the public sector. This goes for Police and Firemen as well.— March 25, 2011 2:54 p.m.
