Thread: Right wing/White trash...

What a bunch of lemmings...HAHA! This makes me sad to be an American...

fuckin teaparty=teabaggers!!

o o oh I see what you mean....

Yup those are some of the ugliest handwrittings I have ever seen...duh

Obamanism Socialism Islamo-Fascism. Covering all the bases with that one.

Pretty sad really. The simple fact is that I bet not a single one of them could define socialism. I hang my head for these sad examples of Fox news brainwashing.

I agree.

Many Americans often mis-label the terms "capitalism, socialism" and "communism."

America is socialist in certain ways: MIC (military-industrial complex), Medicare and Social Security, farmer subsidies, etc.

Which socialist model, if someone will even try to use the term? Sweden, Norway, others?

Fox news contributes to the ignorance no doubt. But these are viewers that would not and do not research public policy for objectiveness, anyway.

Yes spot on. These are the stupid pawns of the right. Most are poor and have no jobs or health insurance yet they are so driven by religious dogma and other propaganda that they act as the elitist's foot soldiers..even though the rich just walk on their backs..

Hardly socialist, but more strategic (food suply). perhaps vote buying. Would you call import qoutas/tariffs socialist too.

Sweden and Norway are social democratic at best.
You could call them compasionate conservatives

^compasionate? HAHA!

Military-Industrial Comples.

Taxpayer money is transfered (given) to several large and powerful weapons manufacturers.

Northrop Grumman
Lockheed Marting - Boeing
BAE Systems
L-3
Ratheon

Many others.

These are very powerful companies that produce and manufacture weapons.

The MIC was first noted by Eisenhower, on national television. He warned of this industry and how large and powerful it might become.

The Iron Triangle:

Congressional Committees (that appropriate the money)

Pentagon ("defense" budget)

MIC corporations

I will never believe in my own country for this shit...It is so bad that I can never forgive...My home...

Welcome to AK Press

I like the one on the back window of the car

This is America and our lanoguage is English !!

I am amazed at the high level of misspelt words though - even on what look like commercially printed signs .

Do you think it is deliberate ????

No!! Definitely not deliberately misspelled.

Maybe fox could incorporate these spellings into their ticker tape, make 'em feel right at home.

Not a bad find from about 50,000 signs. Don't you wonder why the lefties hand out mass-produced signs for their protesters?

I like the thoughts of Star Parker:

Six years ago I wrote a book called "Uncle Sam's Plantation." I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.

I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas. A poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.
I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.
A vast sea of perhaps well intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960's, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.
A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"
Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems. The kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.
The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.
Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.
I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996, passed by a Republican congress and signed into law by a Democrat president. A few years after enactment, welfare roles were down fifty percent.
I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth producing American capitalism.
But, incredibly, we are going in the opposite direction.

The military-industrial complex and farm subsidies are both good examples.

The companies you mention above are at the point where they are kind of an odd public-private mix. Northrup Grumman and I'm sure most of the other biggies have CIA/NSA offices in their headquarters, not to mention scores of military officers. They can't really be viewed as private companies, especially when you look at the bidding process, inevitable cost overruns, lack of accountability for fraud and ethics violations (always involving the government- Grumman has been involved in 11). The military itself is an enormous socialist operation. Forty years ago if you were a low-level enlisted Marine or GI the attitude was "if we wanted you to have a family we'd issue you one." Now they support spouse and kids. It also happens to be a competitive meritocracy with strong anti-racism and anti-sexism policies. Fucking commies.

Price supports for farm goods are hardly the free market in action. This may be a wise policy, but that doesn't make it unfettered capitalism. Subsidized public health insurance would likely improve the competitiveness of US companies- doesn't seem to have hurt the Japanese, Taiwanese, or Germans much, but for some reason people in the US see it as anti-business.

Classic takedown of right-wing stupidity about government involvement in agriculture here:
Jon Stewart Schools Sean Hannity About History, The Food Chain (VIDEO)
Really funny. Hannity is unbelievably stupid, and if his fans were any dumber they'd have to be watered twice a day.

Great post.

And thanks for the Hannity link, as he once again is getting owned.

The military is very socialistic and the retired folks I know don't even realize it.

Whooee, I think Obama needs to look at US education policy.

^^ I bet California farmers are happy about that.

Has the privates taken command You were kidding me and I didn't realise it and I'm not retired at all

Do welfare folks pay taxes or give people jobs, musty?

These folks just can't fathom that mainstream media, particularly TV "News" is anything but propaganda outlets for corporate owners.

And it ain't just Faux , I see it on CNN and BBC too

Agree.

I see the same things on CNN and other stations. BBC, as well.

Certainly true with the BBC, in the way it schedules it's news slots, ITV is pure sensationalism and infotainment, but Channel 4 news is fiercly independant, investigative, and with John Snow at the helm, very much anti-establishment.

I think it's called "Oh sh*t, we better start reporting real news and not just Obama adulation reports."
