This. Glenn Beck is all about how Bush was a liberal and not a real conservative, but where was ANY of that commentary, where was any of this Tea Party garbage from 2001-2009?

Seems like a pretty good summation of the history of capitalism; death, destruction, poverty, disease and perpetual war.

Considering that capitalism is pretty much an 18th Century development for a species that has existed on the planet for some 250,000 years, you have a strange way of calculating the length of human history.

Yeah. Government has caused over 200 million deaths in the last 100 years alone. How many has capitalism caused?

Capitalism really started going in the 1600s. Not the 1800s.

Can you back up any of this post with examples, or are you just spewing talking points you read on right wing blogs and heard on fox?

Yawn. First of all there is little depth or intelligence to your post. I didn't say they were the same. I said we will get one of those if we eliminate capitalism.

Government has caused over 200 million deaths the last 100 years.

North Korea, Soviet Union, Vietnam, China, Cuba are all pretty good examples of what happens when you don't have capitalism. Death, poverty, destruction, etc.......

You got anymore questions or are you just spewing talking points you read on left wing blogs and heard on MSNBC?

Did you ever watch Beck when he was on CNN? Guess not.

Tea Party started in 2007.

I don't know who "you all" is.

I'm an anarchist myself. So I was no fan of George Bush. Or any other governemnt official in particular.

Too bad if you didn't hear me back then. Maybe you didn't because you don't know me.

And on whose behalf have governments fought wars over the last, hell 200 years? What were wars of imperialism fought over? What was WWI, what was WWII who profits from war? We fought two wars in the Gulf for freedom, or protecting the flow of oil? Get real.

The 18th Century is the 1700s!

And if I remember right something like 70% of Americans were against TARP. I have to assume that means plenty of conservatives were against it.

Just because you weren't listening doesn't mean they weren't against it.

I like they way the left just makes crap up about conservatives. I'm surprised you didn't call conservatives racists. As that is usually the first thing you all do.
