Sarkozy has made his position clear and unequivical. Like Thatcher, he wants to put the primacy of the market above the primacy of the people.


Well Said.  Unfortunately though, even as both the autonomy and standard of living continue to dwindle, most Americans will never understand the virtue of that.


Sad but true.

The "KKK" could walk into a Moveon meeting and feel very welcomed I'm sure.


Oh, dear God.

Destroying another person's property is not an acceptable protest form and should not be defended with any weak argument,


I'm inclined to agree with Archer on this, assuming (as I think he does) that the society in question provides other avenues--voting, peaceful protests, etc.--for voicing grievances.

I suppose that means I should rethink the Boston Tea Party, though I suppose the Sons of Liberty would have argued that peaceful avenues of protest were not available to them.

dcnovice, that's a rediculous statement isn't it?
So is saying that the KKK are "right-wing."
Go into google and type in "left-wing, racist"
There's at least 10 pages.
