Feeling ill is just part of coming to accept reality.

He doesn't hang up on people, just liberals.

I asked you "how is giving "ownership" to people who didn't pay for it, not socialism?"

Sounds more like communism.

I work for a company that is partly employee owned.

Therefore I am a communist!

P - off you lousy capitalist pigs!

Did they just give you equal share? Heck no, you EARNED it.

If they just gave it to you perhaps you could PM me some company info and whether or not they are hiring, comrade?

Employees own ~ 30% of the company currently, handed to them. Can increase to 100% over time. They gave out 30% in one shot, anyone that was lucky enough to be there at time got a nice chunk of stocks for retirement (assuming the company survives of course)

US Government sponsored ESOP program gives the company and its regular stockholders a huge tax break to do it. Basically captitalists are being paid to create micro-socialist societies. (holding little finger to mouth with evil laugh) Lots of ESOP companies out there. My brother works for one as well.

Nah, employee owned is cool. Now, if it were a state owned company, then you would be a communist!

1. You have proven nothing, so there is no reason for me to "walk away".

2. I was busy.... Wanna see what I woke up to this morning out of my balcony?

See I was moving, new job, new city... Sorry I can't be here when you want me.

I am willing to put money on the fact you listen to him and pay more attention to him than I do.

No way to prove it so its moot issue. Needles to say I have better things to do with my time than get indoctrinated by the likes of him.
I will admit to watching Olbermann when I get the chance but that's about all the punditry I can stand.Repo man's got all day and all night! Lets go get a drink!

No way to prove? Well you do seem to post more about what Rush does than I do.

And it is not a moot issue. You made a statement, "Probably consulting with Fearless Leader Limbaugh"... And I have already in the past refuted that claim from you.

http://www.runryder.com/t495032p1/?highlight=Limbaugh

But you STILL keep trying to make the claim. It is not moot to point out that you pay more attention to him than I do (as evidenced by you having more posts about him) yet you still try to claim I listen to him.

I will admit to watching Olbermann when I get the chance but that's about all the punditry I can stand.

Then you clearly listen to more punditry than I do... I don't try to listen to any talking heads with any regularity and I defiantly do not go out of my way... In fact, on the rare occasion that I do listen to a talking head, most times I make sure it is someone I *don't* agree with.... What am I going to learn by listening to people I agree with?

So please, drop the "You worship Limbaugh" BS... It is a lame and tired trick that has been show to be wrong over and over.

1. You have proven nothing, so there is no reason for me to "walk away".

I proved beyond any doubt that the Alaska Permanent Fund is a socialist program. As a matter of fact, it even fits the definintions of communism.

Maybe you should read up on it, before denying the truth again.

About the Alaska Permanant Fund

Communism:
1 a: a theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
2 a: a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics b: a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d: communist systems collectively

Good luck on your new job and move. I hope it's a great experience for you.

But you STILL keep trying to make the claim.

Well lets look at the evidence. The democrats found themselves in a similar situation after Clinton. A poll was taken to find out who the Democrat rank and file thought was in charge of the party, similar results for both polls but with one big glaring difference.

No radio hosts names appeared in that poll of Democrats.

A similar poll was taken recently of the Republicans.

Rush Limbaugh, a radio host, was in the #2 spot behind nobody.

Coincidence? I don't think so.Repo man's got all day and all night! Lets go get a drink!

Yes, lets... you keep claim *I* do something. You have been shown wrong, not quit being stupid about it.

Well lets look at the evidence.

Please actually provide the poll you claim.

They are not "eliminating" anything. You can still own your own land. National Parks would be socialism. a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d: communist systems collectively

AK is not a totalitarian govt.

Good luck on your new job and move. I hope it's a great experience for you.

Thanks, the beach is nice. I miss TX and I miss my old job. But, you either roll with the punches or get laid out.
