Which is why I advocate for shutting down leftism at every cultural level... engaging every leftist notion and crushing it where it is found. Some call it survival... I call it the inherent duty of every free man.

"If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world."
An eerie prediction by Mao Zedong.

And the difference between Mao Zedong's thought and Deng Xiaoping's thought. (first and second leaders of Communist China)

"We shall support whatever our enemies oppose; and oppose whatever our enemies support."
Mao Zedong

"No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat."
Deng Xiaoping.

China's getting very close to being the worst capitalist agressor, so I think we dodged the noose on that one.

hahahaha, fair enough. But China keeps to themselves more or less.

It's kinda funny how China did a 180 on that issue.

Aren't they investing at breackneck pace in Sudan, a country complicit in a genocide? When you have that much dough, keeping to yourself gets almost impossible.

That was sarcasm right?

True, but in what way? China makes friends for economic reasons, not political ones.

“Bill Clinton is not the problem. The dismally stupid American people are the problem. It's they I fear.
Let us take comfort in the fact that majority opinion in this country has seldom pioneered greatness. It has nearly always been the minority who cherish freedom. What we are witnessing is a predictable cycle--a law of political science as every bit as unalterable as the law of gravity--as so eloquently explained by Prof. Tyler two centuries ago: that democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government, not due to any one corrupt leader, but to the rule of the masses who become dependent on government. Is it any wonder that the Founding Fathers tried to prevent democracy? Yes. We are nose diving into socialism, not because of Bill Clinton, but because of many of the people surrouding you in rush hour traffic.
It's the masses we must march against, and I can think of no better way than to vote Libertarian and abandon the Republicrats. In addition challenge every Clinton defender you know to name the three branches of the federal government and explain the function of each. When they can't (which in my experience is nearly all of them), simply dismiss them as unqualified to form a serious opinion.”
-poster “JJ”, 1999-Feb-11, from the georgiapolitics Message Board

“The advantage of a free market is that it allows millions of decision-makers to respond individually to freely determined prices, allocating resources -- labor, capital and human ingenuity -- in a manor that can't be mimicked by a central plan, however brilliant the central planner.”

“Orwell was not wrong when he said of Western Marxists that if it paid better they'd be fascists. The chimera of absolute power has a certain hold on utopians, who claim they need to be devils to do the work of angels.”
-Victor David Hanson, 2004-Mar-31, "Question Log"


“In growing up, the normal individual has learned to check the expression of aggressive impulses. But the culture has failed, almost entirely, in inculcating internal controls on actions that have their origin in authority. For this reason, the latter constitutes a far greater danger to human survival.”
-Stanley Milgram, Yale social psychologist, in Obedience To Authority

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
-David Rockefeller, Bilderberg 1991 (Baden-Baden Germany)

I like this one, not because I agree, but because it implicates the guilty with their own words.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
