"European style Socialism": As if that's a bad thing.


"I can see November from my house" That is my girl Sarah's new rallying cry, and she unveiled it for her fans in Denver a couple of nights ago. This was in between calling for an "Awakening of America."( BTW, can someone tell me just what the hell that means? Awaken from what?) You go girl. She was joined by Dennis Prager at the University of Denver. Prager, like Palin, is another wingnut, however, unlike Palin, he actually reads a book now and then.

"Let's stop and consider how ironic it is, though, that just as the Europeans are forced by market realities - this is reality - to dismantle their socialist welfare states, we're being marched towards that state, the European style socialism,"

These have been the buzz words among the wingnuts of late: "European style Socialism." It's everywhere. On their blogs; on their networks; their newspapers; their radio programs; you name it. It seems that every right wing pol is crying a river over the evils of "European style Socialism", and the beige man in the people's house who is taking us there.

Read what this blogger says:

"Obama wants to undo the American Dream and turn us into a European economy, where all benefits flow from the government, rather than individual effort. You can call it “socialism,” or “big government,” or “spreading the wealth,” or whatever else suits you, but the outcome will be the same: People will be locked into government induced poverty in perpetuity, the middle class will become slack, the economy will enter into stagflation, unemployment will rise, and service in every area of American life will fall as people lose their incentive (because they’ve lost the ability) to rise upwards and join in the American Dream."

Now I guarantee you that the poor schmuck who wrote that paragraph probably is living a very middle class existence. He probably has a household income of $75,000.00, to $100,000.00 per year, pays a mortgage, has kids who are in -or soon to be in college, and has almost as much debts as he does assets. In other words, your typical A-merry-can. Yet his dumb ass thinks that he is living some kind of a damn dream.

Unlike Sarah Palin,- who thanks to him and others like him, is now worth millions, because she has learned how to pimp people like him into believing that the average A-merry-can can achieve that dream- he, more than likely, will not achieve the A-merry-can dream. (No wonder she rolls with nine personal bodyguards. I would too if I knew I was running such a scam on ordinary folks.) Unless, of course, you consider the stress of working a 9-5 with three weeks vacation a year a dream. I know I don't.

What I consider a dream-like society is one where hard work will be rewarded. One where the size of a man's pocketbook doesn't make him better than the next guy. It doesn't allow him to buy politicians in order to influence them into making laws to help him make more money. It doesn't allow lobbyist to lobby on behalf of weapons that cause death and destruction because of some archaic language in a document the society holds dear. It doesn't spend billions and billions of dollars to promote some form of mythical exceptionalism by force or clandestine measures.

When Sarah Palin and other idiots like her rant and rave about the dangers of "European style Socialism," I wonder who they think it is a danger to? Certainly not people who will be able to get health care without having to take out a second mortgage on their homes. Certainly not the poor single mother of two who has to clean old people's shit every night to earn $9 an hour. Certainly not the primary bread winner in a home whose spouse just got laid off, (because the company they were working for downsized to make a few people enjoy the dream even more) and who now has to work two jobs just to make ends meet.

And for my altar call, I will leave you with the words of Brian Hines, a man who gets it:

"Driving back to Salem from Portland today, a single glance across the median of I-5 gave me a vision of how much better this country could be if we became more Euro-socialist (I prefer the term, " communitarian").

A car had stopped in the break-down lane. Next to it was a pickup with a seal on the door. I'm pretty sure it was one of the vehicles that helps drivers who are out of gas, or otherwise need assistance.

A government vehicle.

With that glance, a warm feeling of Wouldn't it be great if this act of governmental kindness extended across our whole society? rolled over me.

If people who needed health care were guaranteed they'd get it.If losing your job didn't entail the risk of being tossed out onto the streets.

If getting a good college education was available to all, poor and rich alike.

If public transportation made it possible to get around without private cars.
Whenever friends come back from Europe, they extol the way of life there. The United States is horribly backward in so many ways, compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
I'm ready for some European style socialism. So are a majority of Americans, given the results of the past few elections. We're tried of unfettered individualism and irresponsible capitalism.

Bring it on, President Obama. "

And the godless progressives said amen!

"Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive- Fundamentalist Racism Chaser"

I thought that this term would have been included in your post Filled Negro. I am quite disappointed.

[quote]In other words, your typical A-merry-can. Yet his dumb ass thinks that he is living some kind of a damn dream.[/quote]

Filled Negro - why is it that you run this person down with your hypothetical assignment of class to him YET you never apply his condition with reference to OTHER PEOPLE. Let's say those who live in Tivoli Gardens. I am watching them on the video playing on this same computer that I am typing on.

It seems to me that you are inclined to indict this type of person for being unaware of the capitalist dogs that are outside, waiting to knock him down to the life of a Peasant - only the government protecting him as he lives his unconscious life.

But wait Filled Negro - why is it not more rationale to look at the far, far larger number of people who DON'T live at this $100K per year lifestyle per their position OUTSIDE OF the "Belly Of The Beast" called America.

Why didn't you point out Barack Obama's multi-million dollar income over the past 3 years all the while many people who live vicariously through his promotion into POWER only have an "Obama Commemorative Plate" in their household.

Do you see your problem Filled Negro? Those who advance Sarah Palin yet have a fraction of her wealth are evil and are being USED. Those who support Barack Obama and use him as their ray of HOPE despite being at the margins are blessed souls.

Why not talk about the violent protests in Greece in which 3 people were murdered - including a pregnant woman. Despite having their Euro-Socialist government BANKRUPT and needing to make cuts in entitlements - they took to the streets in violent protest against the government. They prefer to RETAIN THEIR PAYOUT TODAY while not considering the long term destruction of their national solvency.

Anarchists and trade unionists stood against the government in Greece. Might this have been why the news was muted as such? After months and months of using Europe as the reference model for "Multiple Tax Payer Paid Health Care" it is shocking that some people didn't make use of this new inference.

Sophia said...

On a visit to Sydney, Australia about three years ago to visit a niece, her husband picked me up at the airport and asked me what I wanted to see. I said, "show me the slums." I explained that the way we treat the least of us tells us about our society. He, born and raised in Sydney, says, "We don't have any slums." I said, sceptically, "really?" So, thinking it was a word thing, I said, "okay, show me where the poor people live." He did and it looks like the neighborhood around the university I teach at. My niece and her husband and everyone else had health care too. And everyone has a roof over her or his head. That's European style socialism. And, by the way _we_ treat the least of us we reveals our society.

We're also stupid too.

And to all my conservative friends talking about Europeans ready to dump their social safety net -- two words 'Bull Pucky'. We're a bunch of uneducated neaderthals to the rest of the Western world.

Race Traitoress said...

The Purple Cow said...

Here's a small but important point about the need for state intervention for you.

You have a bit of trouble down in the Gulf with your B.P. oil spill, which will cost billions of dollars to clear up, and may yet do massive damage to your environment.

B.P. have many rigs in the North Sea around the British coast, and yet WE KNOW that no such disaster will ever happen here.

How do we know?

European and British Government regulation decrees that every single oil rig is fitted with an automatic shut-off valve that cuts off the supply of oil in case of an accident such as this one. You in the USA do not have such regulations.

The cost of each valve? Just $500,000 each - yet the oil companies will not fit them unless compelled to do so. Because that's an 'unfair' restriction on their right to make a fast buck, right?

Think also about the modest 7.5 earthquake in Haiti that caused untold devastation on a society that had poorly drafted and badly enforced building regulations.

Think also about what the banking crisis has done to all of us, as a result of 'light touch' financial regulations.

Think also about how well economies do during war time, and think about how that is the one time when western governments intervene directly into the means of production.

Think also about how Mid-Western farmers are always telling us how government should stay out of their business, but as soon as a flood or some other disaster affects them, they turn to the government and bleat "But what are you going to do about it?"

Everybody wants 'small government' until something goes wrong, then suddenly they demand big government action.

Black Diaspora said...

What, in fact, is the American dream, and when do you know that you have it?

Does it come on like a cold, with symptoms so clear that you can't mistake it for anything else, like say the flu?

Does it creep up behind you in the night, and snatch your purse, or your wallet, and leave you glad that you didn't lose more, like say your life.

I'm thinking about all those lottery winners who won millions. If you had asked them right after their sudden win, if they're living the American dream, I believe to a man or a woman that they would have grinned broadly and said, "Yes."

Are they living the American dream? Hard to say, too often these mega-millions winners end up dead, or as impoverished as before they won, or meet with some other ignominious end.

What is the America dream, then? Is it material wealth? Or is it something else?

I'm thinking about all those starlets, and other celebrities of stage, and screen, and courts, and fields, and courses, and tracks.

Are they living the American dream? Hard to say, too often they're caught up in scandals--sex scandals, drug scandals, and ripoff scandals.

What is the American dream, then? Is it fame and public acclaim? Or is it something else?

Martin Luther King defined what he thought the American dream is, and immortalized it in a speech, of which most of us are familiar, his, I Have A Dream, speech.

Upon close examination of the speech, you're struck by how often King used the words "free," "liberty" and "freedom," or some other similar reference:

"Emancipation Proclamation," and "a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity," and "the solid rock of brotherhood."

What is the America dream, then? Is it freedom? Or is it something else?

Our founding fathers conceptualized it by encapsulating it with these words from our Declaration Of Independence, ostensibly to enumerate a deficiency in governance to which they rebelled:

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Now this brief passage is open to endless interpretations, and have been so subjected.

But what's remarkable about it, is that man's "unalienable Rights," which are "self-evident," come not from government, but from God ("their Creator"), suggesting that it's government's role to assure that these Rights aren't trampled by the whims of men, or tyrants.

If this is the American dream, then it's nothing more than a Gift from God, and not man. And the government that governs best, is not the one that governs least, but the one that seeks to protect those "unalienable Rights."

We might quibble over how best to do that, and when we have done that, but the charge is unmistakable:

Government is entrusted with the solemn duty to protect what God has given to each equally--an endowment, a Gift of "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

So, is this the American dream--a Gift from God, and a government charged with the protection of that Gift?

I like to think so.

Amenra said...

@ Black Diaspora you are on point, great observation.

"What, in fact, is the American dream, and when do you know that you have it?"

I guess if you always dream about it you know when you are living it. Hey, 5% of the population know the feeling I guess.

The Purple Cow, there you go shooting down the Destructve Wingnut with facts again. Damn those facts.

"We're also stupid too.

Can you explain to me how the famous "Acoustic Valve" would have magically worked any differently?

Now that there are robots on the sea floor - do you think that if the problem was merely with the VALVE that they would have gone and closed it?

Damn!!

I would have been more content with you had you suggested that BP ask Ironman and Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes fly to the bottom of the Gulf and stop the leak.


Is there such a thing as a "Regulation Bigot"? If those who call for 'Tax Cuts' as the cure for everything are tiring then CERTAINLY those who claim that government regulation over everything as the magical fix should be on the shelf right next to them.

The thought of having the Government push BP out of the way to get the well capped is a big joke.

LAC King:

I realize that few other people on this blog are going to call you on your fairytale.

There is no such thing as "Free College" - SOMEONE is paying for it. Indeed the student might not be charged for the services that they consume. I wonder what the "Least Of These" who don't go to college yet have their tax money go to pay for others who will have their salaries augmented feel about this.

Regulate Businesses like they were Nuclear Power Plants? LAC King - is there any surprise to you why a business would vacate a place where PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE YOU have the balance of power as they move to a Southern Right To Work State? The stunning part of it all is that in your ideological bigotry you and others are unable to apply intellectual curiosity as to the linkage.

[quote]if Americans got one wiff -- they'd drop morons like Beck and Co. like bad habits[/quote]

I think Americans area wise. We can listen to the people who got several decades worth of the "Progressive Treatment" and we observe the DAMAGED STATE that they are in.

I recall being in New Orleans about 3 years after Katrina. In the debate to close the housing projects it was painful to hear the consciousness of the people who lived in your government paradise for 30 years. All of this despite being TEMPORARY housing for people in transition. LAC King - they indeed were TRANSITIONING, unfortunately it was a degradation of consciousness and competency rather than an enhancement.

Why were the anarchists and the trade unionist Greeks so threatened by the necessary cuts in their entitlements that they violently took to the street?

The UK's debt load is at the level of Greece.. They have a more powerful economy and this is the only reason why they are not at the same point on the edge.

@ CF:

You have got to be joking. Anything that needs to happen to stop the flow of oil should be done. As well as the aftermath of this disaster made by man due to greed. (They don't call it one of the 7 deadliest for nothing).

The blame pie will be there for everyone to get a slice. Cameras have gone 50 feet down and while BP is still polluting the earth with toxic chemicals and oil, there is oil still floating 50 feet down. But that's all that's floating. No sign of marine life anywhere. Not even dead and lying on the floor of the Gulf.

Anyone who does not get that BP has destroyed the earth knows nothing about the environment or how ecosystems are interrelated.

Better start getting an acquired taste of tainted Chinese fish because that's all we'll be finding in the grocery stores soon.

And I would advise everyone to start drawing pictures of marine life so the Millennia generation and the one behind it will know what the purpose of and what
used to live in that foul smelling gunk we were able to once call water.

Peace.

@ CF:

No-college is not "free" in most parts of Europe. A portion of taxes collected go towards education.

There is an expectation that every person in parts of Europe will and must be educated past what we would call high school.

The mindset in Europe is different than here in the States. They understand both the collective and the individual.

America is a young country and has much to learn about what is a right and what is simply a desire. Education should be a right in this country.

But that would be too much like right.

Agape:

Education is already a RIGHT.
It is FREE as the air that you breathe.

I am able to go to any library, book store or the Internet and discipline my mind, LEARNING about all sorts of things that are of interest to me.

If I am in my "right" mind I will see the competitive advantage associated with an education and make sure that I take advantage of it.

But wait. You must be talking about FORMAL EDUCATION, aren't you?

Here is what I don't understand Agape - in Cuba we are told that EDUCATION IS FREE up to and including a doctorate degree. Agape - WHY doesn't nearly all Cubans have a doctorate degree being that education is FREE?

This tells me that there is more to the issue than the "Freeness" of Education.

Why haven't there been any proposals made by Anti-Rand Paul types to have the government FORCE the Ivy League and other private universities to LOWER their tuition costs because they are denying so many thousands of students an opportunity at an elite education as LAC King has received? They are performing "economic discrimination" with their high tuition threshold.

I now live in a "socialist" country, Italy.

I wish all the Americans who bash European nations, Canada and other industrialized nations actually traveled. To me quality of life is more important than buying a bunch of material goods.

I laughed when my Italian friends complained about the murder rate in Rome being so high last year. It was under 30 people. This is a city of over 4 million.

You can buy private insurance but everyone is covered under the NHS. Nobody has to worry about going into debt because they can't afford to get sick. My yearly bill for insurance is under 300 dollars. In America I was paying 170 a month for a similar plan.

Tuition on avg is about 2000 euros a year at a top university.

Are things here perfect? Of course not, no place is.

Wait I misspoke, Sarah Palin's version of America is perfect. I forgot.

We Americans cannot continue to look inward while the rest of the world moves forward. This idea that we are the biggest, baddest, greatest country ever, is beyond arrogant. This attitude is going to bit us in the ass.

LAC if you really think "Americans are Stupid" than pray tell after graduating from an American high school, why didn't you just move to bloody Europe?

By jolly you could have received a world class European education, went to work for an European company and hopefully purchased a European home versus renting.

It amazes me how people who live in America ("land of the free, home of the brave") and enjoy her fruits, often tend to bash her.

Is America a perfect nation?

Of course not but to perhaps imply we are inferior to European countries when in fact European Leaders frequently seek OUR help, is mind boggling. Simply mind boggling.

I'm all for helping the less fortunate in this country, including Affordable Health Care, Affordable Housing and Education however...

I'm also for Free Enterprise.

In case your wondering or even if you aren't, I've traveled to the Bahamas and Trinidad (more than once) and my son has traveled to Israel.

To top it all off my husband served in the U.S. Army for 23 years.

He lived in Germany for 7 years, Paris for 5 years, Japan for 3 years, etc.,

He still thinks America is the absolute BEST nation in the world!

Well CF, it's an entirely different system from the one that failed in the Gulf. One which has worked in tests. Of course undersea blow-outs are very rare so we don't have an incident where the the valve has yet been seen to work in a real crisis. But at just $500k a pop, don't you think it was worth a try?

And why do B.P. utilize the acoustic valve on all their North Sea rigs, if they think it won't work?

Laurel, critizing the US does not mean you hate it or want to leave.

i was born and raised in Cali..but my parents moved to australia while i was still in high school. my dad is greek-australian and he was missing his family..the plan was to move back but my parents havent done so yet.

was living in the US bad for my parents? no. but am i glad to have finished high school and Uni in australia? you bet.

i think of two of my cousins in the US who are currently studying-both parents have 2 jobs in order to put their son and daughter through college. thats right, two jobs each..personally i find this crazy.

and then when my cuz finishes, she was telling me that she'll start off with 2 weeks annual leave minus any sick days.

again, i find this crazy. i have 4 weeks of annual leave available straight away with any full-time job that i take. and my sick days do not deduct from my annual leave.

plus i have socialised health care, with the option to buy private health insurance.

the australian health care system is not the best and is undergoing a major overhaul as we speak..to make it even more 'socialist.' yet it is much better than the US.

Aus. also has no where near the regulations of the european union, yet it is still more responsible in protecting its citizens than the US.

Critizing the myth that is the american dream and the ignorance of some people is not anti american. we all do it because we want a better country.

it also does not mean that america doesn't have some very good qualities. ofcourse it does. But LAC was 100% right in what he said.

im sorry but socialism and the british monarch/caste system are are two opposites. he cannot be pulling the country in both ways, pick one or the other.

and in my opinon obama is not pulling the country towards socialism (not that it would be such a bad thing), neither is he the pawn of some elitist new world order.

seriously, the conspiracy theories of both right and left are just as irrational as each other.

coffee and cigarettes said...

AB,

I do not agree with any of those things..i would love Obama to be more leftist than he actually is.

I hated the bail out package. I hate the fact that more troops are being sent to afghanistan. I think he and the democrats in general need to grow some balls and tell the republicans to fuck off. But i still fail to see how he is worse than GWB or the sign of a looming world order.

On the bright side, he's passed atleast some form of health care reform. His election as the first african american president is historic. He's begun to dismantle Gitmo. He said he'd get out of Iraq. He's restored America's reputation around the globe.

Yes alot of these positives are purely symbolic at the moment..but hey its better than having an imbecile with the vocabulary of an 8 year old running the country, starting wars, torturing people, and thinking that mexicans speak mexican.

The american political system is corrupt and americans have been bamboozled into believing myths..but this is not obamas fault. he cannot fix a system that he's had to work within. the only thing that can change this reality is people power..people need to put pressure on washington to reform. thats why im actually so glad to hear you rail against obama, because although i disagree with your analysis, you make some good points that i think need to be discussed.

And cosign with Daisy..everybody needs to read "the Shock doctrine"

That's easy Alicia they've been brainwashed and refuse to face reality.

Poverty, Homelessness, Unemployment, etc., have ALWAYS been worse in Europe than in America.

Just as European Armed Forces are not up to par with U.S. Armed Forces.

Why do you think European countries always approach the U.S. for Foreign Aid and Military assistance??

Allies or no, they still need our HELP!

Yet we have people living in the U.S. who wish to slam this great nation.

I say if you think Europe is Superior to America, than why are you still living here?

Why not just relocate to the country of your choice?

Do you have any research to support this? According to several studies measuring a "quality of life index" European "socialists" style countries rank at the top.

Laurel,

but you did say that he was pulling the country in both socialist and elitist directions. Which kind of cancel each other out.

"By the way what's the Minority population in Australia?

Not that this has anything to do with my point about Obama or America..

but sadly, indigenous australians only make up 3% of the population. there are other ethnic minorities that make up larger percentages. Indigenous aussies are displaced in their own land, kind of like native americans.

And Indigenous australians have higher rates of incarnation, lower life expentancy, lower standards of living. The situation is pretty bad, and there is a government campaign right now "to close the gap."

Australia also has a very racist past. But right now its as multicultural as canada for example.

But again..I didn't say Australia and its history were perfect. I was comparing the health and education services of the two countries, and my point still stands.

US society has some great qualities..the fact that a POC and the child of an immigrant holds the highest seat of the land is something which has not been achieved in any other western country. However, it also has some very bad qualities- and the lack of social safety nets is one of them.

LACoincidental said...

Wow, Laurel, CF and AB tell me how you really feel.


Do I like living in America? Sure, but I've been black and poor long enough to know that this country is far from perfect. And I've been around long enough to know most Americans believe silly things about the rest of the world.

As the old Chris Rock joke goes -- 'America is the Rich uncle who payed your college tuition but molested you."

The uproar in the EU is partly 'our' fault -- we as nation failed to regulate Wall Street.

Here's the scope, to join the EU, a nation has to have a relatively low level of debt. Initially, those countries had decent books. A lot of European nations trusted Wall Street to invest their public funds wisely, no different than a teachers union's or a small company's retirement fund.

Now, when all that Wall Street money went 'poof', the debt of these nations skyrocketed.

So CF, these countries aren't economic chaos because of social safety nets, its primarily because the Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs of the world too them to the cleaners.

Laurel, the action of the banks is not classical capitalism, that's called fraud. Securities and market exchanges exist to allow capital to fund more production. A stock market exists so company X can gin up distributed funds from investors a1.......an on the assumption they will provide an adequate ROI. They do not as a vehicle for bankers and financial speculators to get rich and fleece people.

You say you've traveled world and I have no reason not to believe you. But how have you seen the world and still come back so closed minded and jingoistic? The Its amazing to see Americans travel the world and come back no wiser or reflective than when they left. Amazing and sad.


And btw, I say 'stay here' because I want to make my nation of birth better. I honestly believe that as a young nation we have the potential to be a great nation, but we have to get over our own hubris and ignorance (and yes, we are some ignorant people as a country) first.


And Alicia......whatever, you're going to interpret anything I say as love the the Fuhrer Obama. Like I said a month ago -- Obama as a Nazi Cyborg from Mars.

Thrasher and C&C, we can agree to disagree, but I respect that you're civil.

Purple Cow:

The acoustic valve is merely a system by which, for example, a person in a rescue boat can send a signal to have the valve closed. The Deepwater Horizon had a "Deadman Switch" which was triggered, according to reports that I have heard.

Thus the acoustic switch is not a new type of VALVE. IT is only a alternative means to tell the valve to close. The deadman switch shuts the valve when the sea bed equipment losers power and communication with the rig.

Want to know why?

Because despite her bulls__t line about "Australia now being as Multi-cultural as Canada", she knows that the "Aussies" are STILL some of the most Racist people on the planet.

There is NO way man of Obama's lineage (African Father, White Mother) would have been appointed or elected as Prime Minister in Australia, nor in Paris, etc.,

By the way C & C when was the last time Canada chose a Black or half-Black Prime Minister?

Get out of here with that Multi-Cultural crap!!

Obama's election is far from any kind of measuring stick for this society. Check out the black unemployment rate sometime. You might also want to take a look at the state of black inner city conditions as well.

Broad based social nets simply improve life for the vast majority of citizens. American economic inequality is an anomaly among western democracies. Who suffers the most from that inequality? Blacks do, because they are on the bottom of society economically.

Maria,

I have a limit when dealing with "Wiggers" on this Blog, only 1 hour per day. You've exceeded that.

good-bye


What does being Gay have to do with expressing an opinion?

Alicia sounds like Thrasher is Gay Bashing to me.

Isn't Gay bashing tantamount to Hate Crimes?

alicia banks said...

thrasher:

do u even have a daddy?

have any real men and women like my dad ever discussed u for any reason osd of a blog that you fumigate?

alicia banks said...

laurel:

thrasher is gaybashing because he is a life support system for a discount dildo...like all sorry excuses for men who hate all women who whip their weak estrogen filled asses!

Plane Ideas said...

AB,

You are tragic on so many levels ..I pity empty woman like you who lacked the depth and skills to matter to anybody of importance ..

I pity lonely scared Black woman like you who have betrayed and shit on but my pity has bounds..

I have little regard for weak people like you who have been confronted with fucked up circumstances but lack the grit to believe in themsleves so they undertake this crusade and mission to take out your pain on others in this case a man like Obama who you will never influence..

I have a more real honest idea you should act on take your pitiful one note whinning ass away from the pc go home and cuss out your daddy get that loser off your chest for the fucked up parenting he did to you..

Come back and let me help you..I will cause I can..I will cause I am a real Black man..I feel ya..I really do

alicia banks said...

thrasher:

your sexist retarded fantasies about you will never ease your own pain nor the pain that your house boy hobama is unleashing upon the globe!

Laurel said...

Alicia,

Sounds like Thrasher needs to go back on his meds.

Immediately!

He also needs to stop all the Gay bashing.

Gay bashing is offensive.

I'm not Gay but I still find it very offensive.

God loves Gay people too.

Plane Ideas said...

laurel,

gay bashing..Please spare me your simple minded analysis..You post like some scared white person who rolls down her window and holds her purse while seeking directions to her former house in the hood..

Your post rings like a phony liberal who eats bb chicken with black folks and becomes a negro expert..

Sort of like Buster Rhymes, King of Gay Bashers all the while he was on the DL.

DL Thrasher I don't have a basement, just a Garage.

However My Office is located inside of my home; as in my Own home.

Alicia from this day forward I will refer to Thrasher as DL Thrasher. This moniker suits him to a tee.

Plane Ideas said...

Yeah it was as vulgar as your tired man hating rants you spit out in here..

Of course my post was pure humor your contempt of Black men and males in general is a pathlogical condition for you it is apparent in reading your rage filled posts you are still suffering from having a lousy father in your life..I bet he treated your moma like shit a well..

LACoincidental said...

CF, you can hold up Greece and I can hold up Iceland, Spain and many other countries who were brought to their knees by the bank crash.

And also, did I say that it was only the banking crisis? No.

Laurel, Thrasher and I disagree on many matters. But we can agree to disagree. I disagree with MR and other on this blog, but we often have civil discourse. Believe it or not, I've agree with AB a few times and give CF credit when he's spot on.

alicia banks said...

Laurel said...

Alicia,

DL Thrasher sounds as if he has some serious personal/ psychological issues.

So not only is he on the DL but his rants reveal extreme Self-Hatred.

He also probably resides in a cramped, little apartment.

Its okay. DL Thrasher I understand.

Now I know why your so angry.

You need compassion and prayer.

Its okay. We can help you.

Laurel said...

DL Thrasher perhaps a Summer trip to Europe will help you.

Perhaps a dose of Socialism will cure whatever ails you.

alicia banks said...

laurel ditto!

dl thrassion has revealed to date:

he has no dad

his "uncle" abused his mom

he longs for father/dl son convos

he has no life

he has no penis

he has no respect for women

he loves vulgar gay jokes/is dl

he adores hobama blindly as all hobama nazis must/do/demand...

he may have a gay crush on uts

Laurel said...

DL Thrasher,

I own my home and I have an office.

If taunting me is your way of trying to fool me into revealing my physical address please!

That's the oldest internet trick in the book.

Anyone regardless of their ethnicity or gender, who harbors that much Self-Hatred belongs on a couch somewhere.

And yes I do believe your either on the DL or haven't had Sex in quite some time.

Your obsession with bashing Gay people, mainly Women is an Cowardly act.

Your pathetic!

The people who visit Field's Blog and choose to communicate with you, are probably the only human beings willing to associate with you.

Your scared employees (if you really are a small business owner) don't count.

alicia banks said...

ditto laurel!

dl thrassion is an absolute late stranger to me herein...yet he is blatantly lying about my entire life!

so he would most certainly lie about his own life too!

i think he is a wf neocon lumberjack who lives in a small self consructed isolated wooden cabin with a solar pc like the unabomber!...

Laurel said...

ha ha tee hee hee

OMG! Girl you are too much.

He's probably some lonely, sexually frustrated DL White dude or "Wigger".

Bless his heart.

I''ll pray for him.

alicia banks said...

He needs to take that high school stuff somewhere else.

Perhaps we should stop giving it to him.

You are still foaming from the mouth about Obama...Go home woman tell your wife I gave you some attention today...lol,lol,lol

This site needs a cleansing otherwise it will lose its cutting edge..I know I will continue to slamm single minded losers like AB and ordinary posters like MAMM, laurel, maria, clowns like CF, empty suits like mack & Uptown..

I am on a PSA for chat forums especially the ones I admire like FN's

BRAVO, BRAVO brother Field.

What up Field? You know I am feeling you on this one. I like that term communitarian. The Europeans by the way still have a free market economy.

They are still capitalists but they have a larger and more generous social safety net because the European workers fought harder and longer than American workers for a bigger piece of the results of their labor and did not buy into the ruling class' hype as much as American workers.

I hope the folks who disagree with you will not ask you to leave (lol) while ignoring what folks brag about what makes the country so great, which is freedom of expression.

I wasn't surprised that some folks were trying yet again to defend the indefensible.

Speaking of the BP fiasco actually points to the benefits of nationalism. How is that no one in the government has technical proficiency in the area of deep sea drilling. Imagine that putting all out eggs in the basket of folks whose sole motivation is making a buck.

Some form of socialism is definitely looking better and better for those who don't have much to lose.

I'm glad I was so busy I forgot to check you out earlier, because I wasn't tempted to take on those who don't have much of a leg to stand on.

But I understand those that want to defend this evil system. As Bob Marley would have put it, "dem belly full, but we hungry."

The vast majority of Europeans who came to this country did so when Europe was still highly unequal. I'd like to see you produce some numbers that show Europeans (not for the eastern bloc) coming here in large numbers in the 21st century.

Anonymous said...

The problem with capitalism is that it is a "selfish-self-centered" system that destroys the health and hope of the poor and the compassion of the rich.

It is down right frightening and scary to be poor in America: when your body becomes ill and you need medical help, no one gives a hoot about you...if you are hungry or without clothes no one gives a crap about you. When you steal because you are hungry, or steal a coat for the winter, they criminalize you.

Socialism is far more respectful and compassionate toward the value, dignity and love of fellow human beings and life...

Nope, they have all left Gunmetal.

Thrasher, I may not agree with you on most issues. BUT -- I have to commend you for your valiant efforts in battling the Three Black Witches that have poisoned this blog. I'm sure that if one threw water on them, they would surely melt.

I particularly like Alicia and Laurel's Spike the Dog and Chester the Terrier act. It would be comical if it wasn't so pitiful. I particularly like Chester's "nugget of wisdom":

"Anon 6:15 if European countries and Socialism is so much more "Wonderful" than Capitalism, than can you explain why for centuries millions of European citizens have defected or migrated to America?"

If the obnoxious little skank had paid attention in History class, she would know that European-style socialism appeared after WWII. Hence, there were no "centuries of migration."

I am sure she is going to run to QuoteGarden or ThinkExist to copy/paste some mindless drivel in response.

Excellent blog. Half of these fruitcakes running around yelling Socialist, wouldn't know a real socialist if one were to hit them upside their heads.

Mahndisa S. Rigmaiden said...

Maria I agree with you completely on the issue of education. I don't understand the elitist attitudes spewed here but they bother me a great deal. Some people do better at community college before transferring to university for a variety of reasons. Others don't like a toxic super competitive academic environment for their mental health.

I've attended a few schools over the years and then I've observed the way physics and math are taught at various institutions and frankly, some of the smaller schools with smaller staffs, class sizes etc are much better to teach their students. I had a buddy that went to Berkeley for undergrad in Physics and he said "Mahndisa I learned physics in spite of being at Berkeley." He didn't like the lack of emphasis on teaching and he felt that professors were more concerned about funding and ego than teaching physics.

After a person understands the fundamentals, going to grad school at a more prestigious university may help because of their endowments and monies that keep them researching interesting topics etc.

Educational elitism is for the birds and is bullshit. What matters is that a person understand the material and can apply it and this knowledge is universal.

So why don't y'all N-Words move to Europe if it's so great there??
Cause they hate y'all more than we do, OK, not as much as the Saudis, and they won't cut your heads off for rapin one of there women like the Saudi's do, besides, y'all couldn't wear enough stocking caps to keep y'alls nappy heads warm during a Swedish Winter...

No they don't, they really don't. You develop a sixth sense for who is racist and who isn't, even when they are being superficially nice to you. I'm here to tell you that the level of day-in, day-out racism in Western Europe is MUCH lower than in the USA.

In my humble opinion, Socialism is not too bad. many of my friends are Socialists. National Socialists.

Keep up the good work nevertheless!

Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money. As the Greeks, the Spaniards, the Portuguese.

Europe has a serious problem. Their tax base in shrinking and their expenditures are increasing.

Socialism is a pyramid scheme, it is contingent on the idea that you have more people working than retired and/or sick. No one thought, after WWII, the average life span would be around 80 years old, back then it was in the early 60's so most people only drew retirement for less than 5 years, not nearly 20!!! Greeks were rioting a couple of weeks ago because the government dared suggest they raise the retirement age by ONE FREAKING YEAR.

Once you give people something they feel entitled and that won't change without a lot of PAIN.

So now Europe is stuck with "entitled people" who are dependent on the elites and governments to care for them, meanwhile the tax base is shrinking.

So what do they do? Keep mass importing Muslims that don't integrate well (partly because of racism, partly because of incompatible cultures), yeah that is working just great. I'm sure French people loved those burned up freaking cars, and the Dutch love politicians under fatwa death threats...with 24 hour security...there are no-go areas for whites in the UK in cities like Birmingham. I know Europe pretty well, I go there often.

You people have no real idea what is going on.

Thanks for taking the time to educate us country bumpkins with your urbane, cosmopolitan viewpoint.
