Michelle Malkin pointed to an article in the SanFrancisco Chronicle where an editor talks about how he’d like to give his daughter a moonbat style doll for the holidays…

I can’t wait to see what he cooks up as an alternative to G.I. Joe.

That would be Folsom “Street Fair” Fred. No, don’t ask what he does when you wind him up….

she is based on someone I know: My great aunt Angela Ward.

Just Great! I was named after one of my Dad’s drinking buddies from his career in the Navy.

Now I am going to have to change my name!

Because of some freaking doll from San Franfreako?

Man, so much for happy holidays huh?

Freakin’ liberals!

At least China is technically communist, but they only achieved their success by basically repudiating communism and embracing capitalism. In actual fact, they are authoritarianism capitalistic.

This is my fault. I didn’t make clear what my definition of “success” was.

Instead of going into a long-winded, point by point list of criteria I will measure success using just one metric.

If you walk up to the average person and offer him and his family one-way tickets and American citizenship, on the condition they can never return to their native country, how many would turn you down?

If communism is the font of justice and contentment its proponents claim then the answer should be “damn near every one of them.” Something tells me that’s not the case.

I’m not a troll, either left wing or right. But I might point out that there is at least one communist country that is more than a little successful.

At least China is technically communist, but they only achieved their success by basically repudiating communism and embracing capitalism. In actual fact, they are authoritarianism capitalistic.

So your point is well-taken. In order to succeed communist countries have to be capitalistic even if they still call themselves communist.

I laugh at you San Francisco liberals.

You have become what you hate: powerful elites who squelch free speech and can’t accept change. You escape to the past and deny the future.

Return the power to the people!

Down with 20th century policies!

You gotta open your mind man to new possibilities. Throw down your retrogressive “progessive” dogma.

mattymatt10, I hear you, but wasn’t Regan from the left coast?

True, but that is coming up on 30 years ago. Maybe California can secede, and leave the rest of us alone? Oh,and take Oregon and Washington along with them.

Because the rest of us are kinda busy, you know, actually producing things.

Good point. I meant to add a similar line in my comment but forgot.

The reason libs control colleges and universities can be summed up in one word: tenure.

Another good point. But I’m not sure that would address the impact in media and Hollywood.

Somewhere along about 1967 or 68, the line between liberals and radicals
began to blur. After that they sort of began mixing and this new breed of
liberal was born. Before that, liberal wasn’t quite as bad as it is now.

I’m inclined to agree, and would also posit that both ideologies have shifted to the left, with liberalism becoming socialism bordering on communism, and conservatism taking over the spot vacated by liberalism. Conservatives now really are the voice of freedom of speech and religion (as long as you’re not blowing people up), exhibit greater degrees of tolerance, and have even taken on a more internationalist flavor when looking at foreign policy. The left now argues for Americans to be brought home, while the right supports expansion of liberty abroad through the use of American power. While these are all fairly general statements, I do think, with sufficient time, abundant specific examples can be found to support them.
