For those of you who still think we’re over the top with the term “Freedom-Hater”

Here’s John Kerry (who, by he way, served in Vietnam) on the Senate floor on the problem with making tax cuts the centerpiece of a stimulus proposal.

    If polls show only 22% of the American public favor this bail-out legislation, then what kind of democracy is this that will evidently shove it down our throats? What to do, what to do, but get in line for a piece of the pie. If you qualify? I personally want my 401K back. BO said we are entitled to a decent retirement. As for true commies, well, here is what they have to say, but go ahead, keep calling your countryment freedom haters. It can’t hurt, apparently any more than your phone calls to elected representatives can help, if this bill passes anyway. So much for national unity.

    The capitalist class, represented in government by the Democrats and Republicans, has also had its confidence shaken. They are unsure how best to proceed. Some argue that the market should be allowed to “adjust itself,” while others advocate Keynesian state intervention and a new “New Deal.” But while they may be divided on how best to get the economy moving again, they are unanimous in their defense of the capitalist system as a whole. Not once will you hear Obama, Bush, Biden, Cheney, the Clintons or the rest raise any doubts about the system itself. They are also well aware that the social consequences of the crisis could spiral out of their control. They have therefore chosen the best man they could find for the job: Barack Obama. He has in turn put together a galaxy of pro-capitalist and imperialist talent to assist him in carrying out his policies. The 44th president’s historic task is clear: to preserve the United States of America as we know it today. That is to say, his role is to defend the U.S. capitalist system in its epoch of imperialist decay.

    Well, just as there are some righties for whom, say, Michael Steele isn’t right-of-center enough, you’re going to find Freedom-Haters for whom the current regime doesn’t pas the purity test.

    By the way, beyond wanting your 401k back, which isn’t much of a policy stance, where do you stand on the “stimulus” bill? You. That is to say, I’m not asking for a link to what someone else thinks.

    More to the point of this post, where do you stand on the remarks of Senator Kerry, who, by the way, served in Vietnam?

    I think I have already said I do not agree with the stimulus bill either, along with 78 per cent of my compatriots. As for Kerry, let Massachusetts worry about him. Jus one pie hole, one vote. He, by the way, served in Viet Nam. The point of the above link was to demonstrate what a true Marxist thinks about who you call freedom haters, amongs your own countrymen. But of course you will continue to do so. And it is my style to quote other articles that affirm what I am saying, just like you do. Articles like this one, which resonates, here (Libertarian bias):

    Now (the neoconservatives) are sounding paranoid again, distrusting of the national agenda, out of step with the central plan, dubious of the state’s foreign and domestic ambitions. Most of this regards economic policy, but there is a deeper dynamic at play. The right knows how much power was built up under Bush, and it knows that the left now has it all.

    After eight years of waiting, the left is back and some fear it is payback time. This follows a familiar pattern. One administration punishes its political enemies from the past. Those out of power are called paranoid, whether they were the rightwing peace activists who feared FDR, the leftwing peace activists who feared the House un-American Activities Committee, the conservatives who feared Clinton or the liberals who feared Bush. And now it has turned again.
