Socialism Chavez style, is this the control Oboma wants?

take an economics class inflation falling to 25% is not something to post as a brag about a socialist system. Russia used to see the same types of crazy inflation.
That happens when you have the gov controlling production.
I'll take our problems any freaking day with one hand tied behind my back compare to that shit hole.

You speak like an American good brother .. not a Venezuelan.

Inflation is the least of their worries.

Your privilege makes you believe you know what's best for everybody and everybody wants to be you. Wrong on both counts.

I ask again .. why aren't you happy for the Venezuelan people who have seen their lives drastically improved? Their unemployment rates compare with ours and in some cases are tremendously better. In American non-white communities the unemployment rate is as high as 20% .. a question your King Obama ran away from at his press conference.

More importantly, why are you so fixated on what's wrong with other people? That's telling.
 
I'm teasing you that's why brother.
I am thrilled they are better off and hope they increase the rate of improvement.
I agree with you on almost everthing else, except I think white america is way more racist than you do and I'm a turbo-liberal nut on anything not economics.

Dude, your cooler than the other side of the Pillow, I wish you had Ray Nagin's job. Not that you'd want it.

I'm usually board and Juvenille.
I do feel you on your daughter and for your sake hope she returns stateside for a permanent assignment yestarday.
I'm freaking old, saw George with funkadelic and the commadores in the dome in like 77 or so. Three skinny white chicks and two even skinnier stoners burning Hippy lettuce with a bunch of cool brothers.

George Clinton: Mothership Connection Concert DVD by Pioneer Artists

1978 in Houston

The Mothership lands

All artists should make concert dvd's. It immortalizes them.

On a sadder note .. my daughter is headed back to Iraq in November. Didn't someone say we were leaving Iraq?
 
I freaking can not imagine, and am pissed at Barack for not gtf out now.
I have two son's in college and I'd shit my jeans if they we're headed over.

I hate to say I told you so .. but I knew Obama wasn't getting out of Iraq .. which is not to suggest that McCain would have been any better. Given McCain words on NK and Iran .. we might all be dead now.

I feel for your sons.

Shouldn't we be as concerned and pissed off about Obama's war agenda as we were about Bush's?
 
Like you say Obama is a centerist, he doesn't even want to piss off the warhawks.
He didn't mind scooping up on leberals and antiwar folks during the election and then promptly tossing us under the bus at the first greyhound station he passes.
He get's an extended honeymoon because he's following bevis and butthead. Soon he'll have to own it.

Don't tell me you're dumb enough not to know the history of Venezuela's water problems or the improvements to the system under Chavez before you opened your mouth.

Don't tell me you're dumb enough not to know that there are huge problems with water resources looming for AMERICA.

"Within a few years, a water crisis of catastrophic proportions will explode upon us — unless aroused citizens ... demand of their leadership actions reflecting vision, understanding and courage." -- Former US Senator Paul Simon

Don't tell me you don't know there are water problems throughout the entire world .. including in many democratic countries.

Water doesn't have a political affiliation.

And if you must speak, at least speak the truth. I'm a democratic socialist and I've been here for years and I've never even slightly intimated that we should throw out democracy or capitalism, but pure capitalism is now on stage all over the world .. and pure capitialism is as failed an idea as the "free market."

Mixed economies have proven they work in the best interest of people.

Guess it won't be long until you start telling us how Hitler saved the German economy, put the people back to work, built the Autobahn and designed the VW......
Venezuela....another successful dictatorship in the making.....

anything by AWB, Teddy P, Isley Brothers
Click to expand...

AWB made two concert dvds .. Tonight: Average White Band in Concert is the best of them. It was made in 2002. The other was made in 1977 but I wasn't happy with the sound quality.

You'll want to get WAR in Concert (2007). Even though Lee Oskar is gone and only Lonnie Whatshisname is left from the original group, the concert is really good.

Hopefully you're pumping your sound through good stereo.

I have an Isley Brothers Concert DVD that you can have. Ronald's voice is gone and Ernie is still picking the guitar with his teeth.

Teddy only made one concert DVD and good luck finding it. Teddy Live in 1979. He was amazing. I went to one of his concerts many moons ago .. before the transexual thing .. and this motherfucker was absolutely amazing. Women were throwing panties on stage .. unfortunately they didn't know Teddy wanted drawers .. and boxer shorts. But onstage, he was amazing. I've seen the DVD but I don't have it.

One more .. Rick James - Superfreak 1982 .. but Germany is about the only place you can get it. His "You and I" and "Mary Jane" should only be listened while under the .. ahh ... proper influences. I'll just say they are smokin'

:0)

Nope .. what I'll be telling you brother is that you're in serious need of a dictionary.

Go grab yourself one and see if a popular elected leader can be called a dictator.

.. get back to me.

what the typical dem doesn't get due to lack of business education.
CAPITALISM DIDN'T CAUSE THIS MESS. No one said it did, per se. So unless you can provide quotes from leading Democrats to this effect, you're just blowing more neocon smoke. Criminal business people did. It's called fraud. No shit sherlock, tell us all something we don't know.
Do we need more regulation? A cat could tell you that. So your neocon pundits and GOP leadership (along with some Dems) are not as smart as a cat, by their years of voting for deregulation.
Do we need to throw out capitalism and become a socialist country without clean running water? Only one of us wants that. Eventually he will get off Chavez's nut sack.

Spoken like a truly willfully ignorant neocon parrot with the intelligence level of a child. You didn't squawk once when the Shrub & company threw capitalism out the window in order to use YOUR money to bail out Wall St.'s screw ups and corruption. Now you scream "socialism" despite none taking place. Do us all a favor.....look up the definitions of socialism, capitalism and fascism. Get a clue.
