Oh yes, the Oprah effect.

brutal. I suppose Obama will toss her a cabinet position once she's broke from all his wealth spreading.
do not be surprised if she is offered a postition

I read something on BBC about how she might become an ambassador, live in embassy etc etc.

Nope what this election was about was nothing more than what can I get the govt. to do for me, that I do not have to do for myself. It was about how can I get the govt. to take care of me rather than me taking care of myself. For this Obama was the clear choice.

I already help my "fellow man" I pay my taxes that fund all of the social programs.

And now you get to pay more taxes so you can fund several new social programs to help even more people ... socialism is just great

Jajajaja, are you fucking crazy? There is no other country in the world more capitalist than the US.

You're still scared of the Soviet Union and communism, and its hilarious.

Even the most "socialist" in the US is a rampant capitalist. You haven't seen socialism boy.

First, I have not been properly referred to as 'boy' since I was legally able to vote, back in 1990. Second, I was not calling the US socialist. I was asserting that the american form of Liberism is has patterns closely associated with socialism. Third, having spent 4 years in Europe, I can comfortably say that I have seen socialism. And lastly, I am not afraid of the Soviet Union. I am afraid of what changes may be made in my nation to cause irrevocable changes for the worse in my way of life.

Find humor all you want to. Ditch the condensention until you get to know someone better. The lecturing is okay, I need a laugh too, after all.

Turq, I thought corporate fascism was just plain ol' fascism.

Perhaps you could explain the difference? Is it a lack of nationalism in corporate fascism that separates the two?

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Nope, you are just THAT reliant on govt. interference in your life. This election was not about preserving our freedoms, this election was about what can I get the govt. to do for me so I do not have to. Be proud.

Have you ever lived in a socialist country lowing? It's great, we each get our own State-sponsored supervisor (commonly referred to as a Nanny) who tells what to do and what not to do. They also take our wages off us at the end of each week and go out and give it to unemployed people. You can't move for Government interference, they're in your face 24/7, they even do house calls... it's great craic altogether.

Sorry to hear that, you really ought to try FREE CHOICE and personal responsibility, it is a much better way to live, of course only if you are a personally responsible person willing and able to stand by your life's decisions. If not, socialism is most definitely a better way to go.
