Alter (on Maddow) "We're ALL socialists now..."
After today's multi-trillion dollar buy-out.
So the next time some asshole driving a hummer calls you a socialist...ask him how it feels.

3. Over on Calculated Risk
a lot of people have changed their handles to add a Comrade before their name. So I guess that means I am Comrade ellie.

4. Not just socialists. More like third world banana republic socialists.
Seizing wealth by edict has always been routine in third world countries ruled by dictators and now it apparently has become routine in the US.

The last time this country tried the republican religion of unregulated capitalism we got the Gilded Age, then the Roaring Twenties, and then the Great Depression.

The republicans' rapacious greed and blind and ignorant ideological devotion to deregulation has once again shown that their religious worship of an unregulated free market is a path to devastation and destruction. So they went from being free market capitalists to socialists overnight.

Hypocritical? How very republican.
