It is shocking and saddening to see how well this film predicted Americas current slide into anti-intellectualism and Fascism. These things that this film states about economic disparity apply equally well to governments and private individuals, and the things it states about informational control apply just as well to corporate media as to state propaganda.
Capitalist say …
Capitalist say socialism resrticts growth and opportunities, yes this propaganda. Yet Capitalism stole your homes and wealth, outsourced jobs, raised the cost of living, and and made laws to protect their gated community. Where is the loyality to our country’s people.
See FDR’s Fire Side Chats, Bill Of Rights.

Is it possible that people didn’t know that the primate in the whitehouse was a communist?
And the government …
And the government wants us to send money to Haiti???

LMBAO@Antiworld! You actually responded by asking me “Shouldn’t you be in bed by now?” I’m 15 years older than YOU…YOU tell ME who should be in bed? LMBAO! You actually subscribe to a page call “BushTheHero?” He’s the worst president this past century…hell, I would have voted for Nixon before Bush II! LMBAO…the delusion of youth…so sad. That pretty much tells me where your head is at…up your @ss! LMBAO
I will make you …
I will make you prove my point. Obama, although not perfect was the 1st black editor of Harvard Law Review-You don’t achieve that as a “C” student (anyone with education beyond a BA knows that). Second, look at the date of this news report (Mar. 3). Obama wasnt in office until Jan. 20–not 2 weeks. That means this tent city & the policies that created it were here BEFORE he took office. Don’t believe everything you think. You’re ideology is blinding you to simple reason.
Grow up. Obama is …
Grow up. Obama is as useless as tits on a fish. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows that. But these people who are living in tents would have gone through the whole painful process starting months if not 2 or 3 years ago. First you lose your job. Then you fall behind on your mortgage payments. Then you can’t make them at all. Then you get foreclosure notices. Then you get a final warning and an eviction order. The whole process takes quite a while. You want to blame someone. Greenspan

Isn’t it past your bed time?

” Ideology is a poor substitute for intelligence.”
Oh I agree, but to be intelligent you have to tow the party line. IE Bush is a stoooopid “neo-con” and Obama/Gore are brilliant geniouses, nevermind the fact we’ve never seen one’s transcripts and the others are no better than W’s.
Yeah it was greed, it was the stupid entitlement attitude of people had buying things they could not afford. I.E. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two corrupt shithole companies…guess who worked for them…
Your chocolate …
Your chocolate president up, most people know it, just admit it.
Hey, if theres one …
Hey, if theres one thing I’ve learned from liberals it’s that facts can be subjective.
I wouldn’t have put …
I wouldn’t have put it exactly in those terms, but you’re absolutely right…this insanity was not caused by one man, it was a series of bad policies from both the Left and the Right that interacted with each other. Simply put, Obama hasn’t been in office long enough to affect policy to THIS extent.
What’s with the …
What’s with the idiot flying the American flag outside his squalid little tent? This kind of mindless flag-waving is just what the ruling elite love. It gets the great unwashed masses to enlist and get crippled for Exxon-Mobil, it makes the masses not question a thing that their government does especially fleecing the Treasury/Medicare/SS and condemning a generations to penury. The government, owned by Wall St, caused these people to live like rats and still these fools kiss ass. Suckers.
Don’t try that ” …
Don’t try that “Obama Economy” ruse with us pal. This economy collapsed on Bush’s watch….essential regulations to keep Wall St from trashing the economy were removed on Clinton’s watch and the scam was started on Reagan’s watch to shift as much money from the middle class to the ruling class. You’re a pretty feeble minded character if you think you can trick anyone into blaming any one president for this. It was all engineering over the decades by the top 1% and you ain’t in that club.
Enough with the …
Enough with the Bush-Obama argument. Both of them got elected because of their charm and good looks, nothing else. Neither one of them had the qualifications to be the President of a Girl Scout troop. On top of that, both of them were made “an offer they couldn’t refuse” by Wall Street, and neither of them have ever had an original idea in their life. Obama is a 48 year-old college student, and the only job Bush ever had was taking baseball players out to lunch. Quit comparing which is better.
LOLOLOL. You’re …
LOLOLOL. You’re the man BTP!!! You destroyed his beliefs! LOLOL
Yeah…”Socialism.” …
Yeah…”Socialism.” The ideological bigot’s Boogey Man. Its no better than the Red-baiting that “patriots” engaged in during both Red Scares and during the Labor and Civil Rights Movements. In case you didn’t take notice, it was the excess greed, toxic market assets (market derivatives), and lack of regulation in Capitalism that almost destroyed the global market free market, not “Socialism” (but I’m sure you will argue otherwise). Ideology is a poor substitute for intelligence.
I truly hope you …
I truly hope you don’t believe that…Obama was never the governor of California, and their crisis was looming long before Obama attained a position of power, even in the Senate. Personal belief should never be a substitute for facts.
Because that is …
Because that is what socialism is. The “people’s” interests? How do you say that with a straight face and try to claim it’s not the same socialism rampant in that shithole Europe.
Welcome to the …
Welcome to the Obama economy…how’s that Hope and Change working our for you folks in Cali?
