I've been trying to have a reasonable discussion with a few posters on varying subjects (tenets of marxism, for instance).

But this is becoming impossible as any reply I make is being HR'd by a small cadre of haters.

For instance, arbiter and Clarknt67 both HR'd my statement distancing Socialism (a necessary social construct) from Marxism.

But I had a minor in Russian history, and have spent a lifetime furthering my education in that area.

Lenin used terrorism (to gain power) and forced famine (to hold power and industrialize), both of which he rationalized using Marx's philosophy of violence and aggression as the natural state of man (and of course animal).

If you don't know this, then you either need to 1) study or 2) stop being a shill for a philosophy that killed 60 million people.

Socialism does NOT equal marxism. Socialism is needed, marxism is inhumane crap, IMO.

They both found this HR-worthy.

No, sadly this is not a joke.

President Obama's advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s plan to try him in civilian court in New York City.

I am absolutely flabbergasted by this. Are there any ideals that we haven't traded away? This makes me physically ill.

Is this a betrayal of everything we thought Obama stood for? Or am I just being naive to have hoped for Change?

Can anyone tell me why this Gallup poll has any credibility at all?

It must be an outlier, or something. I read the results of this latest poll on my lunchbreak, and it ruined my appetite.

Like I've said before, I'm not much of a writer, so this will be short and to the point, without much eloquence to it.

Regarding this 'health care summit' and the cobbling together of a Democratic-only bill just days before: (follow below the fold)

I saw a story today about Scott Brown 'demanding' that he be allowed to take Senator Kennedy's seat by TOMORROW or else, or else...

Well he didn't take it any further than that.

Suffice it to say that I couldn't care less what Scott Brown demands. His election was a fluke, based on the fact that many progressives in Massachusetts wanted change from the status Quo.

As the President said shortly after the election, what swept him to power was the same force that swept Brown to power. So he should think about that: his base won't take kindly to him making unlawful demands on the Senate OR the President.

I have never wanted to write a diary. i never did on Hpost, where I spent that last four years. I always just read, and maybe comment.

But now, 24 hours since President Obama's state of the union address, I have yet to read a single diary on the subject of the military's don't ask don't tell policy, whose repealling the President put into motion last night.
