Maybe it will become a new right wing pitch for billion$ in more security spending.

Being vulnerable and spreading fear of it, is always a great profit center.

Anything can work because any country can and many do, pretend to be a democracy.

I think trump found out why previous pres. didn't meet with him. The N. Korean leadership always tries to get something for nothing.

When GWB talked via intermediaries after catching N. Korea red handed counterfeiting $150 million US, that should have been nailed into west about their treacherousness. It was not.

Since then however, we all know now, Little un is no different so far.

Although NK could yet turn out to be a very profitable threat and enemy.

Fear is always a good profit center.

It is unfortunate. All of those dead young profit centers.

Would somebody tell me, no excuses ?

Just when has the right (GOP) ever governed as the small govt. fiscally responsible party ?

Never in my lifetime.

The GOP is responsible for $14 trillion of our $22 trillion in debt (the rest being added cleaning up after the right) and have added 100s of 1000s to govt. payroll.

Next question.

Capitalism as practiced in America, will be the death of most poor people but not capitalism. Of course it will come from the essence of capitalism...debt.

America is so rich [she] needs to as we type, borrow $6 million per minute...we do not have.

The future of America has already begun, capitalist fascism.

Soylent Green anyone ? Ironic that capitalism will have humankind regress back to cannibalism.

Stop this people. I am always reminded at most blogs, do not ever underestimate the ignorance of the American people.

Our plutocrats in govt. have forced the taxpayers to throw trillion$ at the capitalist for 60 years. The govt. forces the socialization (taxpayers) to insure against bank risk, (FDIC) agric. risk, (FCIC) pension theft (PBGC) and overseas investment risk. (OPIC)

The whole ethanol market was created by socialism to the tune of billion$ every year to produce millions of gallons...the public doesn't need or want and is socialism for the rich.

The govt. forces taxpayers to provide price supports to dairy because dairy producers/investors bribe govt. feeling entitled to produce 3 times what the market demands.

Obviously that over-supply would deflate the price, so the govt. steps in and buys all it can using it for the military and often gives it away. The US taxpayers spends million$ per year just to warehouse govt. dairy products...we do not need.

This renders the whole argument about socialism only so much bullshit. The US yearly provides billion$ in socialism only the capitalist can love. Capitalism is for the poor.

As for socialism for the poor ? Fuck them, let them go to jail or just die.

There is no basis in fact to conclude the American pubic school system is broken.

[It] may be broke but that's because the capitalists who run America don't want to pay for it.

Just as the capitalists don't want to pay for anything. The capitalist doesn't want to pay taxes and doesn't want to pay you.

Slaves had jobs, didn't do therm much good.

In fact the American courts are outlandishly right wing and capitalist fascists.

Corps. are like people ?

Property (wealth) is free speech ?

You must sign away your right to sue and go to arbitration over a class action ?

Taxpayers must fund price supports for the capitalist, direct cash subsidies for the rich and pay billion$ each year for ethanol [it] does not want or need ?

Taxpayers much pay for insurance for bankers, farmers, pension thieves and overseas investors [sic] ?

1 point

What unmitigated bullshit.

There are 22 industries fully funded by govt.

Capitalism is neither free market or free enterprise.

Mao and Pol Pot were right wing fascists and murderers.

Only a extremely few tech cos. spend anything on R&D.

When small entrepreneurs create something, they are bought out.

Corp. America in fact invests more under the left than the right.

If mankind were left to the right, (capitalists) there would be about 7 billion slaves

but hey...a great profit center.

Neither, to them we are big a petri dish or a big petting zoo. But as long as you asked:

If they are peaceful, not out to exploit, conquer or enslave people...lefties.

If they are the opposite...righties.

Where do people get this stuff ?

I mean seriously, what does this have to do with anything ?

.....better they are born and under repubs will tell you then, to make a profit for yourself or somebody else otherwise go to jail or die.

I much admired Prof. of sociology Mortimer Adler. However, his one shortcoming after being a non- believer until his 50s, he got baptized.

It didn't change my mind and could understand how he decided on that leap of faith but not actually being baptized because we both knew...wouldn't make a difference..

Well in America is not interested. America just wants to know, how do we make some fucking money here ? The rest is conversation.

Can't do it. However, religion has for its entire history, been a profoundly useful instrument to entice the credulity of believers to vote for them because they too also believe in stone age fairy tales.

Can anyone point to any time in history any politician who has made it clear he is a non-believer, has...ever been elected ?

Yes, due process is a legal term coined and forever enshrined in the constitution. Or otherwise, one could get arrested and locked up at will by govt. police.

Due process is a search for truth and justice. Without [it], the masses are at the mercy of the govt.'s monopoly on violence.

Oh yea, pseudo science alright.

DNA research has never say prevented a 4th or more straight generation of one family's women from going blind...but it did.

DNA research has never gone into a community to cure a genetic defect causing disease so their offspring don't suffer any defect...but it did.

One reads these things and might have others believe they just walked out of the cave.

A great example of the deafness of some on the right. The so-called left has been telling the right for 40 years.

The right has ignored the message for those 40 years and more.

Well what we have learned as one would have a right to fully expect, the right loves Russian money, loves Russian fascist political power are autocrats and want to be just like them.

Repubs (GOP) would rather be Russian than American as they begin to work so well together, Hell, call up the NRA, I am sure they have a few Russian million$ for you.

These leaders as most, loe themselves first and need the prize attention. Kim is doing nothing that hasn't been done by prior N. Korean talks...promise to do as little as possible, lift sanctions or send food, then do nothing.

It is for that reason no pres. has actually met w N. Korean leadership unity now.

They both get the photo ops, the great adulation of their followers...and then go home.

Next question.

One could easily say look at how good capitalism is in N. Korea or China. See how easy it is ? Doesn't do much for the capitalist proletariat.

Just yet another post confirming how religion poisons everything.

I am supposed to care how fictional stone age characters felt about another fictional stone age character ? Why ?
