Wonder if they know we are watching the meltdown.

I would feel sorry if not for the obvious fact that she doesn`t want a different lifestyle then what she has.
In that respect I cannot have an ounce of sympathy as there is help out there.

I have no sympathy for her. She is a wart on the ass of society that needs to be removed, and the sooner the better. :mental:

I don't see Underground Panther's rant as a lament against corporations.
On the surface it appears that way...BUT, if you look...there is a deeper meaning.

People like this are the reason we have liberals at 20 who become conservatives at 30. I guarantee you some of the people posting on that thread will be conservatives in the next 5-10 years.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

38. Actually, the USSR and "Communist" China
   
were a radical form of capitalism in which the state owned everything--the OPPOSITE of socialism.

We're not radical at all, we're just slowly catching up to where the soviets were since the 1920's. We're just making the corporations our government rather than the other way around. Teh effect on people is identical.

Damn, is this the intellect of our opponents?  :lmao:

I have no sympathy for her.

I used to be concerned for the subway cat.

Well, sort of concerned.

Well, slightly concerned.

But like you, not any more.

We all make our own destinies; it's obvious the subway cat, like some other primitives who need not be mentioned, is ultimately and inevitably destined to permanent institutionalization.

If it's for real then I'm more concerned about who it takes out with her when she really goes over the edge.
25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.

I think you're onto something here.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

That they can`t understand that communism is the natural extension of and only way any form of pure socialism can be exacted and enforced indicates how little knowledge or ability to think they have.

13. You are much more productive, undergroundpanther, than any damned CEO!!
   With all your research and vast knowledge, you have added more wisdom to DU and those around you than most people could ever hope to accomplish!

The problem is, what you offer and others like you, isn't valued in this damned society!

It isn't that you don't "produce".... it's that it's invisible because you don't have a paper claiming you are an "expert".

We at DU are very fortunate to have you, and the smart people here sit up and take notice of what you have to say!

Perhaps if she's such a valuable commodity then DU should collectively pay for her service. It'd free up that SSI money for someone else, she wouldn't be working for a corporation, and DU would reap the benefits of her valuable research and insights.
