And in a “true” capitalistic society, we could then go kill all those responsible. Man… doesn’t libertarianism sound kind of nice sometimes? Killing sociopathic liars sounds fucking great to me…
I think killing anyone you feel like killing is anarchism, not capitalism…
I think Obama’s a great speaker, and I think his policies are moving in the right direction, but I feel he can be a bit of a people pleaser sometimes…and these quotes are right in line with that belief,,
Im talking like purist terms, no regulation. If a company takes advantage of you, you have the right to retribution by any means you wish. Some Adam Smith, true old school, capitalistic, gangsta shit. But… we got them regulations that are supposed to make sure folks don’t rip off folks, right? Consumer Protection laws, FDA Regulations, ATF shiz…. AMIRITE?!?
Like I said, boring
Land of the Free!
NOT
Land of the free-market!
It amazes me of how much and to what extent Bush and his administration did compared to Obama and his band of losers. I wish this was not so because I and so many Americans wanted obama to succeed in bringing positive change to our country that the Bush legacy had ruined.

You should really think about starting your education at a community college; they accept people even like yourself. And if you need FEDERAL money to help you pay for it, you can apply for financial aid. College was so expensive, I had to serve in the military to get the GI Bill (probably a ‘Nazi program’ according to your evaluation), receive financial aid, and a get a student loan to get me through school.
Cenk, Obama sees it all, don’t be naive, it’s sad, but it is official, Obama = NO CHANGE, LIAR, SELL OUT!
1st off the Congress could have passed healthcare an whatever they brought to him he would have signed…thats not on him thats on them…they where scared because some of them are scared to lose an looking at the poll number they where shook….
Cenk is out of touch. Obama said, “he doesnt begrudge anyone success or wealth” then followed with “executive compensations have not been matched to performance” All you pick up on are the words “free market.”
Furthermore, JPMC was not over leveraged or heavily investing in subprime mortgages. So, Diamond does deserve some credit for that. You should watch who you’re shooting at Cenk because right now you’re spraying wildly.

It’s interesting that the Republican GOP put Micheal Steele as an antithesis to Obama. Actually Obama is change in the sense that he doesn’t play the same childish games as the Republicans.
What party was proud to be the party of NO!!! like that is somehow significant.
It’s like a 4 year old holding their breath until mommy gives them a cookie.
Obama deceived us into thinking he was on our side. NOW i understand that politicians cant keep ALL their promises (for obv reasons), BUT ATLEAST PUT UP A FUCKING FIGHT MAN. He was so soft on the healthcare reform and this bipartisan shit is getting old
democrats and republicans are the same. Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush, and now Obama all work for the banks.
Your a very wise man bro…kudos
ok heres how our system deals with these issues. they grab lobby money because it helps them get elected. but in order to ACTUALLY get elected they need the votes. if you threaten mass vote switching they not only WILL listen they HAVE to. the only way to save your country is for you to save it. everyone. threaten not to vote for any candidate who does not have our best interests at heart, vote independant. they are too small to have been corrupted. make them feel the heat.
Gold is not neccesary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it.
Believe me, National Socialism would not be worth anything if it were to be confined.
Society’s needs come before the individual’s needs.
National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a new world order.
Remind you of anyone? The quotes are from Adoph Hitler.
Despite the fall of the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall, Communism is alive and well in the most unlikely places. Its thriving in the hearts and minds of blind Party loyalists today. Most of them are unaware that blind Party loyalty is the core design? of Communism. Its the means by which people are driven to look past truth, common sense and personal thought, and walk the line of collective thought.
Americas greatness is due to our moral heritage. Both freedom and liberty are endowed by our creator, (not granted or managed by our politicians), and both are in jeopardy whenever our moral foundation is attacked. Our politicians work for us? and its our job to manage them, not the other way around.
President Obama makes about $200.000/year as the PRESIDENT. Some failure of a bank CEO gets a $17 Billion bonus.
I think this shows who runs the US government.
Bankers’ bonuses should be made illegal until each and every citizen has recovered the losses, caused by the bankers, in his retirement account plus an adequate rate of return. Until then, their remuneration is limited to ten times the average salaray of their underlings. And after that, their bonuses, which cannot exceed 10% of their base salaries, do not vest for twenty years to make sure their genius did not lead to horrendous losses in the end.
With some fine-tuning.
What a comeback!
So Bill gets lewinskys while Obama gives them, big deal.
You are so right.. Cenk throws a lying bitch fit and his followers come crying with his slick talking ass!
What are you talking about?
So much for change…
