Amicus, may I offer you a plane ticket out of America?

[Le Jacquelope]

Two-way, of course. So you can come back and kiss this here socialist soil.


I say this because it appears that Capitalism's approval rating has sunk dramatically over the years.

Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.

53% is about the same number that fucked same-sex marriage in California.

That 53% are the real working people that support the people buying one way tickets for the rest of us.

It's a scientific fact that the Usual Suspects, Special Needs Team, and A/H Castratti Choir have no money to buy anything with.

I'm comfortably fixed. I'd chip in on the air ticket.

I'm in, if I get some say on the destination. I was thinking someplace in Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo maybe, where he could enjoy life without all of those pesky government services.

I'm good, so I could chip in, as well.

Wonder if we could get a group rate...give ami some company.

Well, this is interesting. Capitalism is favored by 53% to 20% over Socialism, and you say something to the effect that it is a death knell for Capitalism. I also note that, as people get older and more experienced and, presumably, wiser, they favor Capitalism more heavily.

Of course, many young people, in their ignorance, favor Socialism. This appears to be a matter of not learning from history.

I never doubted for a moment that you werent fixed, or comfortable with it.

Thanks. I did laugh at that. Good one.

Still, if a collection is being taking up to deport the seditious, treasonous Amicus, do count me in.

Please don't send him here.

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Floyd,

Sometimes youre a gentleman and a scholar.

 

[sr71plt]

Please don't send him here.

Og

I was thinking Somalia.

 

[oggbashan]

I was thinking Somalia.

It's not a socialist state. It's not a capitalist state.

It's a failed state. Maybe he can help them sort out a form of government.

Then it will be a doubly-failed state.

[freshface]

You don't think the Somalis have enough trouble?

 

[sr71plt]

You don't think the Somalis have enough trouble?

It's the Iraq-Iran policy approach that used to work so well for U.S. policy before the amateurs stepped into that. Give the Somalis so much to worry about on their own turf that they leave us the hell alone. Amicus would be a perfect little irritant in that oyster.

But except for the piracy, they are leaving us alone. If we send Ami, they might decide that we need punishing.

No they aren't. They are still heavily into supporting international terror organizations as a safe haven.

Oh, we wouldn't given Amicus a U.S. passport. They'd never recognize him as an American without that. They'd think he was, you know, one of those blond, blue-eyed guys showing up in Brazil in 1945 and speaking with a heavy German accent.

I guess that depends on which group you're talking about and how you define support. I'd hate to be the one who convinced al-Shabab that they needed to focus internationally.

Of course, if he's not going as an American, it's all good. He'd make a good Paraguayan. They have a nice history of right wing governments.

 

[JackLuis]

He'd make a good Paraguayan.
Ah ha ha ha!

Hidden in a redoubt, with his own air strip is case the Socialists take over?

I have a job as a data center manager and I co-own an insurance business that I can jump to if this job goes away. If anything my taxes support you.

*snort* LOL!!!

 

[Dragonlipz]

this thead is too much fun

and way too easy - You folks have fun and consider some alternate destinations for the Sore Losers Club: Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan (Some of those nation-building exercises that the SLC's heroes got the US into in the past eight years - didn't BUSH 1 have something to do with Somalia?

Jeez, can't the Republicants ever get it right???

 

[alyxen]

That phone poll would only have had meaning if they forced the respondent's to actually define both terms before advising which they liked better. I would certainly be willing to bet, especially with all the talk of socialism during the campaign, that most can not define socialism.

Woah. Good point.
