Thanks for admitting how little you know about important history, particularly about Free Markets. Pinochet did, when a Chicago U educated economist had the courage to recommend Free Market policies. Everyone else in the room apparently was intimidated and aghast. Economic policies were "liberaliz...

I need not defend communism, son. You are the one making a claim - a claim based on faith. You are arguing that China CAN'T be "communist" on account of after we gave them our tool and die industry, built them factories, shut down our competing factories and showed them how to use the technology t...

Don't be lazy. Ask the natural question: Is the converse equally true? Can capitalism survive without a welfare state - and if so, why has it never tried? And don't be too quick to overlook that your utterance employs not one but TWO terms on which no consensus has been reached - OR CAN BE, THANKS ...

Chile is freedomy now? Did Pinochet make it that way - or did the leftists that supplanted him do that? But come, Clem, let us not go off on ANOTHER of your hare-brained goose-hunts for the golden orb of capitalism. Let's stick with Sigapore - the second most freedomy on earth. With THAT MUCH FREED...

Gosh, Clem - ya THINK? Would a capitallst corporation REALLY stoop to non-free market means, just to make an extra buck? I hope you're prepared to back that cjarge up, because this country has defamation laws. So, Dole broke the faith - strayed from the pack - lost its way in a wildern...

. It's just so sad to see a moonbat melt down into a puddle of ugly rhetoric and bulls***. But you prefer doing that to accepting obvious reality....

"Faith based arguments?" That's what you call accepted history about China's mass starvation? The utter primitive quality and nature of almost any production in truly Communist countries? I love psychotic moonbat humor. Ever seen a satellite picture of night time North Korea, the most Communis...

You need only look at the facts of Scandanavia socialism. Their poverty rates are the lowest in the civilized world. But a funny thing....check the poverty rates of Scandanvians living here....it's half the national level and about the same of that in Scandanavia. Why is that? Could it be work et...

Holy crap, how do you manage to bungle almost everything you touch? The two are inter-related, but that doesn't mean you can make stupid and/or dishonest claims like how public beatings are part of Free Market policy. That's so absurd most moonbats wouldn't fall for it. But about my claim, free m...

Amen, brother. Praise Capital! Praise it's holy name! You are uttering faith based arguments. I have prayed about what you are claiming, and the Wood Nymph of Lusterbury gave me a vision - and in the vision, a turd was coming out of your mouth, and the turd never ended. It came out of your mouth ...
