Re: Freedom of the Press/free speach and destruction of capitalism
You're not worth listening to, that's why. Beck was a disk jockey not a comedian. Al Franken was a comedy writer.

Re: Freedom of the Press/free speach and destruction of capitalism
I mean, I see what some people are saying. But Capitalism as we know it is not what made America successful, slavery did. We "adjusted" the capitlaist model so it would be sucessful here. If you do not have to pay your workers then that is not capitalism that is something else. So capiltalism is not what this country was built on. You have to be careful here, you can't just follow blind rhetoric. You could misjudge the future by revising the past. This country has yet to prove it can suceed whithout an under class of citizens who have been disenfrachised. I couldn't imagine living in the Jim Crow South paying taxes and not receiving services like police protection. My taxes paying for the white school children to recieve modern text books and my children learning form 20 year old text books.

Re: Freedom of the Press/free speach and destruction of capitalism
So you're saying slavery had more to do with America's economic success than the Industrial Revolution?

No freedom of speech to be found here. Free speech if you agree with the Politburo, if not, none.
