    Giuliani is anti-American and a subversive, a Bush with brains and little feeling for the people. He also proved that he is a lunatic by allying himself with that other looney, Pat Robertson who is always receiving exclusive personal messages from god. They in turn are aligned with the Stupid Party which has in nearly two terms of the squatter in the White House's presidency brought America to the brink of ruin. Giuliani's crocodile tears for the 9/11 victims and his claim to fame since that disaster is outrageous and shameful. He is an opportunist of the first order. He should …

    There doesn’t seem to be that great a difference between the USA today and the USSR back then when they jailed or sent to the Gulag any journalist who opposed their ideology. There is probably no difference except in the finer distinctions of how to control dissent between the two countries (even today). The USSR burned the books when it came to the rights of their citizens. Here in America, we cook the books, and then send them to jail.

    Yes, perhaps Wolf needs to be enlightened, as he says. His response to my post was simplistic and knee-jerk. Perhaps he's missed the entire point on the comparison between the USA and the USSR or simply refuses to acknowledge how things really are in the US were politicians publicly quibble over token policy issues so the people think their elected officials are doing something for them. Sure, Americans are allowed to say anything they want but the political class simply ignores them; that's the beauty of that system because it's difficult to fight against. Americans say just about anything they want …

    This article, as well as other reports I've read about corporations in general, is proof enough to me that slavery was never abolished in the United States. Today it continues in its many evil forms, white collar and blue collar alike, supported by laws made from politicians whose only interest is in giving themselves annual raises and mere lip service to the people's interests. Although I no longer live in the US, I've known all along that corporations like Smithfield abuse workers in every which way they can get away with it. All their products should be boycotted - now, because …

    sorry, but it's not just liberals who are against these overly repressive crime prevention policies which are in the end not bettering our society but making us more a nation of scared sheep. statistics without sources are just a worthless opinion

    I cannot think of anyone more qualified to offer advice or analysis than Jimmy Carter. The FrontpageMag link offered by Natalie is, as usual, pure distortion.

    "Carter’s crushing landslide defeat in 1980 is I think a better barometer of the soundness of Carter’s judgement and analysis than is a book by the loser himself." Ok, since FrontpageMag is as ideological as In These Times, and discussions on these forums being mostly useless and filled with ad hominem attacks and illogical fallacies, as in argument from omniscience and a confusion between correlation and causation, I nevertheless enjoy the articles where each side essentially preaches to his own choir. Being of neither Left or Right persuasion I feel the Left more grounded in reality than the Right and FrontpageMag …
