Capitalism would not have let the fat pigs at AIG live long. They would have long been butchered, smoked, cooked and served up on the dinner table with corn and mashed potatoes.

Pretty simple. Socialism is seizing property of those that have and giving it to those that don't under the guise of "social justice". Theft via bureaucracy and fuzzy feelings.

You guys are so partisan that you just don't see your own hypocrisy. The exact stuff you accuse the right-wingers of are the exact stuff you guys have been guilty of these past 8 years. I might can understand the latter part of GWB presidency but what about all the attacks and insults that occured before he began his presidency? I'm not condoning all these stupid anti-Obama threads but you guys should be the last ones complaining.

Do you forget that Dubya had virtually the whole country behind him after 9/11, myself included. He squandered all the support with his own actions.

What about before 911? What about the time when he was elected in 2000? What was the libbies reaction like then? I seem to recall cries of "stolen elections" and other sour grapes comments from the lefties ...

8 years of it. The only time they couldn't spew vile hatred was when the entire nation watched planes dropping like flies in to buildings and fields. The first second it looked like maybe 9/11 was wearing off in peoples minds the garbage started to flow. Still does everyday is City Data. When things were down in the war Democrats were enthralled and when the soldiers were down they kicked them. Blamed them. Then when things made a turn for the better they reluctantly admitted so. Then when it was time to withdrawal credit was given to the troops at the same time Bush was being scolded for his actions in Iraq as a similar ramp up in Afghanistan kicks off, you might recognize it as the too small to be effective method that was originally employed in Iraq.

On taxicab confessions they've had drugged up prostitutes with more stringent adherence to words and deeds than these folks.
