Communist Premier Gives Surprisingly Pro-Free Market Speech

In reply to oblique.

I got your comment Axel, and in China too. I don’t laud it as you think – it is not actually my choice to be here. I was just stating some inconvenient facts. The 10% or whatever the real figure here is, live like absolute kings. There is also a burgeoning middle class made up of regular business people and garden variety entrepreneurs. The old perception that most Chinese ride around on bicycles and eke out an existence in the rice paddy couldn’t be further from the truth. I KNOW because I observe it every day.
Communist Premier Gives Surprisingly Pro-Free Market Speech

May 28, 2013 at 9:05pm

I’ve been living in China for a while now and in many respects it IS more free. There are some areas of course that are not – freedom of speech & religion. But in all other respects this country operates on more “free trade” principles than countries in the West. In the city where I live, business is literally booming! The wealth here (some of it obscene) is unbelievable. China has already won – game, set and match. There is just no way the West can compete with this behemoth, at least on the business/trade/commerce/military level. It’s already over.

We have our problems in Australia with left wing nutters, but why on this God’s earth does anyone believe the drivel coming out of this man’s mouth? Its all meaningless, feel-good platitudes! Words, words, words.

Watch the other hand folks.
Ed Schultz’s Anti-Gun Argument: People Who Wrote the Second Amendment ‘Owned Slaves, Oppressed Women & Were Short on Tolerance’

December 15, 2012 at 1:04am

“In other words, Schultz wants lawmakers to start getting serious about gun control. He justified his position by saying that the people who wrote the Second Amendment “owned slaves, oppressed women and were short on tolerance.”

It’s not the access to weapons; guns were more readily available in the past (think 20, 30, 50 or 100 years ago) and mass slaughter like this was uncommon. What’s changed? Some might say automatic or semi-automatic weapons – though these are not the common denominator in all such cases.

What is common, is that the perpetrators are largely disassociative, disaffected and lack a sense of personal responsibility. Most often they have internalized a steady diet of violence mixed with envy and hatred all fueled up because they perceive they’ve been neglected. Broken homes, fractured families and many times abuse feature in the string of excuses to explain the virtually inexplicable – motive.

For the anti-gun lobby to be absolutely certain about their claim that access to weapons causes such unspeakable tragedies, we would also need the same conditions duplicated, say at a time when these senseless things did not occur. Those were times when families stayed together because they prayed together; God with country and community and sacrifice and personal responsibility and honor was how we then lived. I am very sad to say life is no longer like this; our time is different and unfortunately we can expect more of the same, irrespective of gun

Amid Gaza Chaos, Obama Sends Clinton to MidEast to Meet with Israeli, Palestinian & Egyptian Leaders

Why send that useless piece of trash? Wonder if she’ll take another $70k and make an ad? Unless … There is a more cunning plan… maybe it’s all being deliberately set up to fail. If this administration was serious about negotiating peace within this current conflict, Obama himself would be directly involved instead of stirring up things in Asia. What in the heck is he doing meddling in stuff for which the US should be neutral ????

Last time I looked, this is Glenn’s site. He made it, developed it, and owns it. So by that reckoning he can promote what he pleases. If you find this distasteful, or against what you believe, sod off to another site. Idiot.
