Socialism sounds lovely, everyone gets their share and they don't have to bust their arses to get it.<BR/><BR/>Those aware of history know that socialism doesn't work. The people in Ireland found out it didn't work when government policies changed and prosperity appeared. There's still those who rant and rave about using the windfall of the Celtic Tiger to fund socialist programs. There's those who still don't get it.<BR/><BR/>If American democracy could survive the turmoil of the Great Depression, it'll survive the upcoming election.<BR/><BR/>If we can survive constant rejection and still keep writing and submitting, doesn't that prove that we haven't lost all hope?O hAnnrachainnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142386347577322443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18578900.post-75419389553779435232008-06-25T04:11:00.000+01:002008-06-25T04:11:00.000+01:00Oh, by the way.

I forgot to mention it--the seal has been thrown under the bus.<BR/><BR/>It disrespected him by making people laugh so hard they were getting the wrong shiver up their leg.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the other side is even klutzier.Aeneashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894069466023892561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18578900.post-11626930856116276602008-06-25T04:09:00.000+01:002008-06-25T04:09:00.000+01:00I guess the sane people will have to go out and vo...I guess the sane people will have to go out and vote in November...<BR/><BR/>I live in California, the land of nuts and fruits, so I have no idea or hope around here. But, I can't imagine that there aren't an equal number of sane people in this nation of over 300,000,000 people to counter the vote of 30,000,000 or so loons or ignorant.<BR/><BR/>It's not just the Chicago machine--and it does have a reputation even here--it's the whole package of ideology and baroque marxism and Manchurian candidate feel. I've lived it, so I know it when I see it. The Wolves of Pavlava did come from personal experience. I sit here, in the US, and I can't believe that I'm seeing it unfold here, after it's gone to hell in Eastern Europe.I've survived it once, and I know how to survive it again, even better the second time around, but, I really, really don't want to go through the exercise again. If Obama becomes president, I will make my moves to protect me and mine. May be nothing untoward will happen, but I am prepared.<BR/><BR/>Please, tell me and assure me, that I am just imagining and being paranoid and all that. I don't mind if you do. I'd rather be called an idiot this time than be right. You seem to be a lot more savvy in politics than I am. Perhaps what is happening, people are just keeping silent and they will put the mark where they really think it should go in November. <BR/><BR/>This and the rejections... it's not been a good year. Sigh... ***rolls eyes***Aeneashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894069466023892561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18578900.post-90920452002762201342008-06-23T13:05:00.000+01:002008-06-23T13:05:00.000+01:00When he made his speech to sort of apologize for b...When he made his speech to sort of apologize for being friends with some of his friends, he used the same speech that Richard Daley used to apologize for the Mafia members who were tied in with City of Chicago deals. No surprise, in that they share a speech writer. Mr. Obama is a product of the Chicago Machine and he's being promoted by the Daley clan.<BR/><BR/>You're not alone. Anyone familiar with the cesspool that is Chicago and Illinois politics watches all the insanity with despair.<BR/><BR/>Super O, is it? What will the advertising execs get up to next?O hAnnrachainnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142386347577322443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18578900.post-26077924682855202382008-06-23T04:48:00.000+01:002008-06-23T04:48:00.000+01:00OMG! There's someone else in this world besides me...OMG! There's someone else in this world besides me who is not an Obamoonie and doesn't get a shiver up the leg. I was feeling like in that movie where everyone turned into a zombie (or vampire, depending on the version of the movie) chanting slogans and I'm the only one left, wandering the earth all alone.<BR/><BR/>BTW, have you seen the 'seal'? The one with the eagle with an O on its chest and sun rising?<BR/><BR/>GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!Aeneashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894069466023892561noreply@blogger.com
