ColbyDog's Blog

Dog, step away from the liberal blogosphere and see how badly infected the Democrat Party is with big money and big business interests. Just take that environmental/global warming issue. Ever hear stories of how many corporations are making zillions off of every compassionate so-called "green" legislation? Ever read how many poor in the Third World suffer as a result of big business making those zillions off of global warming? Ever hear how big corporate interests are stealing farmland for pennies on the dollar in the Amazon region to be able to market for carbon offsets? Ever read in the paper how many individual and property rights freedoms that we've given up for the sake of dubious claims of environmentalism? How many Third World folks have died as a result of malaria since DDT was banned? Who wanted it banned? Corporate interests who had a "cheaper alternative" to market--one that didn't work. When Obama made his digusting and uber-elitist remarks about Americans in "fly over country" he was talking to a Democrat Party star chamber made up of billionaires in ultra liberal San Francisco. Show you who he is really interested in pleasing, huh? Since that meeting you haven't heard him touting his plan of stripping CEO's of their big pay checks and giving it to working families, huh? The foreclosure problem? Who proposed the legislation that allowed folks with bad or no credit to get those loans? Big business through their Democrat stooges. The finance industry, esepcially the big corporate big wigs, are and always have been huge donors to the Democrat Party. W

sorry bash but it is you who on the road to perdition... I've been on your side for twenty years and can clearly see where it put us... So look, I mean really look.

global warming is real... the companies who are exploiting it are the same ones who exploit everything... I really can't understand what you read or listen to that paints such ridiculous contradictions... but thats what propaganda does... and brother you bathe in the fountain of it.

Just because its sheek to be green does not make the efforts and discoveries of all those who've tirelessly faced relentless and well documented corporate attacks and your denial for the past twenty years... any less ethical... in fact, logic would say you were wrong and should respect their efforts.

But I wouldn't expect that from you... just call them money grubbers. And collect you pension from the corporate global terrorists... and try to justify your actions for spiritual redemption by siting false claims of DDT abuse... (manufactured by DOW, distributed by Monsanto and protected by billions spent lobbying lawmakers and staffing government regulatory agencies (during GOP terms)- gimme a break corporate interests wanted it banned... what you smokin' paraquat?

Why would I even bother watching a debate between two people who's philosophies are diametrically opposed to my own? The message they spew is clearly communistic, and their plan is to transform America into another socialistic toilet. There is already a Union of Soviet Republics, we don't need a second. What they, and indeed "all" Liberals need to do is to immigrate there, and leave the rest of us alone. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it "My" plan is the best thing I've heard yet duing this election year. If you oppose capitalism you are a loser who hasen't been able to work within the American system, which pretty much describes the majority of Democrats.

Communistic? Where DID you go to school? Look around earwig, what exactly did the soviet union do to control its citizens? Controlled their media, spied on their citizens, used harsh interrogation and fear techniques to keep their citizens from acting up... and fleeced their nation of all its wealth... look around. What has your "capitalism" system done here? ...

perhaps you don't see it yet... thats what the German citizens said after the US liberated them from Nazi oppression... we didn't see it coming and by the time we did... it was too late.

a rose by any other name still has thorns....

remember the historic words of Martin Niemoeller, jailed Christian Minister from Dachau 1944

"First they came for the Communists
but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists
but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish,
so I did not speak out. And when they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me."

heed their lesson friend.

...NET POLLUTER. There is already legislation introduced by Dems to tell us what and how much fat we can have in our diet. They want to be able to tell McDonalds what they can and cannot serve. If they fail legislatively, they will go to court to strip from us our right of choice in what we can eat. "Oh sure," you say. "That is to benefit us to make us healthier." Yeah, it starts with what sounds like good intentions. But once the donkey gets it nose under the tent we lose on more freedom and make it easier for them to take away more. And you are worried about whether Condi gets indicted or Bush gets impeached. I'm telling you, you are playing right into their hands.mmKeep looking right and the big one will come from the left.

Yeah, I guess I hadn't looked at it that way... you're right. I was too busy studying the facts- the legislation that retroactively allows corporations to control what products we can buy, what information we can see on the internet and what is on television. I guess I was too preoccupied with the corporate stranglehold on our economy through its legislative protections preempting class action lawsuits, net neutrality, bankruptcy shelter and product liability to see that rather than controlling freedom through restrictive regulation of our market, financial dealings, communication, travel and opinion, they would instead go for our jugular... under the liberal guise of compassion and hope, they seek to take our freedom by telling us we should be more responsible and should attempt to conserve.

Here I thought it was a necessity that all candidates raise millions just to afford network airtime (that gets paid to these same corporations) so they had to solicit the rich... because these same corporations changed the laws regarding free political airtime in concession for using the public's airwaves... and because these corporations wouldn't consider giving the candidates a discounted rate.. they force them to beg from media's ownership to give them money they in-turn pay back to the corporation for commercial time... astounding!

You have not only drank the Kool-Aid, you jumped right in the tub and bathed in it. At one time I thought that you were a reasonably responsible person. George Soros, Sumner Redstone, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, the Sulzbergers have you right where they want you--totally relying on them for info. If they say "Sit" ColbyDog sits. Who owns and controls the major media in this country? Save for Rupert Murdoch, it is all members of the liberal power elite. Probably the BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB that Obama was trying to suck up to in San Francisco. Who runs the biggest banking and financial corporations? Liberal billionaires. And have you ever bothered to see who controls food distribution and grain production? Take away big time liberal donor Archer Daniels Midland and you don't have much.

Again you mistake me for a Republican CDog. There is a huge difference between my political philosophies, and those of the two parties that have bastardized the concept of American Democracy. As an Independent Conservative I loath what has become accepted as normal in this country. Everything from the blatant buying and selling of our representatives, to the continued repression of the poor is totally unacceptable, and has only resulted in this country's spiral into totalitarian rule. Not only have we lost our soul, but we have become a bunch of whining imbeciles who believe those in power have any intension of changing the system they have set up to enrich themselves at the expense of the very people they have sworn to represent. What it comes down to is either we take this country back from the power elite, or we follow in the footsteps of all of the other great societies in history. Obviously we have not learned from history.

I aver that it started when Lincoln changed the concept from "these united states" to "THE united states". For better or worse we became a nation instead of an almalgam of free states. Until that time Washington was a distant place that didn't have much if anything to do with the average citizen's life.

The real source of our problems was FDR's New Deal. That program almost single-handedly destroyed the American spirit of self-reliance. Now, I think that FDR was a very good man at heart and had the best of intentions with his program. But you just do go dangling the pork chop of power in front of wolves (read: congressmen). From that point on, congressmen made sure that the American public saw Congress as the source of largess and the solution to every problem.

You are dead on with all three cases Basher. We have fallen for the old bait, and switch. Instead of empowering us with self determination, Government has empowered themselves to decide for us. These fools have taken that which does not, nor has ever belonged to them, and the end result has turned out to be the destruction of the great dream of wise men.
