We read here that the DNC is pushing Hillary Clinton as their POTUS candidate for 2008. Good. There is a summary here of Hillary's past which rather boggles the mind. So if she DOES become the Donk candidate for the Presidency in 2008, her past should undo her.

Liberty Corner has really got the message that it is the Left of politics who have most in common with the Fascists of history. Just the fact that FDR was an open admirer of Mussolini would make most reasonable people think if they knew of it.

The enviers can rest. The rich blow it anyway: "Whenever Rodney Zeeb gives talks on financial planning, he asks his audiences if they know the perils that arise when heirs are ill-prepared for an inheritance. Each time, nearly all heads nod, and hands shoot up: Yes, yes. 'Almost everybody knows a family or has seen a case where the money hurt somebody in the family, or the kids or grandchildren blew it all,' says Mr. Zeeb, an attorney and coauthor of 'Beating the Midas Curse,' a reference to the destructive relationships with money that splinter some families. So widespread is the problem, that 6 out of 10 affluent families will lose the family fortune by the end of the second generation, Zeeb says. And 9 out of 10 will have depleted the family wealth by the end of the third generation."

There is an article here showing that for most of its history Iran (Persia) has been good for the Jews. It is only the mad mullahs who are the problem.

Grumpy old Sod has this excellent piece of wisdom: "Australian Politics is a new, highly articulate and well-organised blog which highlights the ridiculous, the unfair and the plain dishonest in modern Australia". He deserves a link for that!

Practically all policies advocated by the Left create poverty. Leftists get the government to waste vast slabs of the country's labour-force on bureaucracy and paperwork and so load the burden of providing most useful goods and services onto fewer and fewer people. So fewer useful goods and services are produced to go around. That is no accident. The Left love the poor. The Left need the poor so that they can feel good by patronizing and "helping" them. So they do their best to create as many poor people as possible.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch)
