Remember that the best way communists believe will allow them to usher in communist rule is the collapse of a society. As history proves, stable economies are never going to provide a breeding ground for enough radical lunatics. Break the economy however, and the door to every kind of totalitarian rule - communism, socialism (fascism), and so on - is suddenly wide open....

I don't think they forget anything. I don't think they ever learned in the first place.

But, mvargus, I think we're doing sort of the same thing here. Only in a much more extreme example. Sorry, I'm not seeing anything so innocent as a "self-interested, selfish, greedy individuals who will gladly throw another under a bus if its to their advantage", like the rest of you. What I'm seeing is far, far, worse. I'm seeing someone who would throw their own Siamese twin under the bus, knowing full well she's signing her own death warrant. Just for the damage she can cause the other.

um? do you mean that this Granny Doc is indicating that she'll willfully throw her siamese twin? or that the posters and readers of RWN would do it?

Consider your discussion. You suggest that she is amoral and taking an attitude of "the end is all that matters". What if that isn't her motive? What if the means are, in fact, what she relishes?

Fair question Bill, but I think you see a bit more there than I do. Lets go over her "agenda"

I want to stand by and watch it all blow up.

I want the dollar to plunge to worthless paper.

I want the stock market to implode.

I want the economy to plunge into chaos.

I want the Chinese to call in all the debt they hold.

Pretty standard anti-business rant with signs of economic ignorance. Definitely doesn't understand where tax revenues and government spending relate. But this is typical of most communists. They think killing a capitalist economy will instantly turn it communist.

I want an economic meltdown of such staggering proportion that even that idiot on Bill Moyer's Journal who does not know the difference between a State Constitution and the United States Constitution, is forced to look around in mild surprise and wonder what the hell happened. Only total economic destruction will get the attention of the fools.

Ok, signs that Granny doesn't understand economics and politics and how they relate. I truly doubt anyone watching the US economy melt down as she wants will give a moments thought to the constitution. They will be more worried about keeping food on the table and a roof over their heads. She claims to want people to think about the politics, but wants it driven by economics.

I want every single idiot who doesn't think politics is any of their concern to be gob smacked by the terror of losing it all. I want a wake up call of such stunning proportion that a generation will slip from the stage before any American citizen votes on the basis of looks, or, charm, or cant - before any claim of "Free Trade" is accepted as uninteresting. Before any citizen thinks it's cute, or hep, or stylish, to be distainful of politics.

again wants to equate economics with politics and has no clue how they relate. I'd love to have ever liberal and communist out there have to take college level economics courses until they finally understand that you can't make communism work, but its nto going to happen. And the level of disdain this person has for economic realities is frightening.

I want every politician who places getting elected ahead of protecting the Constitution to find their corporate masters have lost interest in their little fiefdom as economic collapse makes their petty posturing even more pathetic.

and here we have the attack on evil big bizness. Completely ignoring the fact that businesses are more disdainful of politics than individuals and would happily ignore congress if it wasn't for the liberals demanding government interference in trade.

I want a culture war against greed to emerge from the rubble, and the blyth acceptance of what is, in favor of the hard work of what could be to become so passe that our grandchildren will forever wonder what we were thinking.

Yup, the grandchildren might wonder that, but they'd be doing it while having to work 20 hour days just to keep food on the table. What Granny Doc wants is to be rich in a world of poverty and to get to watch everyone else suffer is how I read this. This is the one area I might agree with your view of our Koskiddie

I want every bamboozled, bubble headed, super-star chasing, reality show afficianado thrown off the island, and forced to swim in the shark infested waters of what their indifference has wrought.

wierd, confusing and has nothing to do with the rest of the post. Definitely shows that this person watches too much survivor though.

And I want it now, before this inept, self-serving Congress allows the Facists one more opportunity to fully convert this from the United States of America, into the 4th Reich.

I want to be rich, and I want it before I die. WAAAAHHHH!

It would make me laugh if it wasn't that this diary has more than 800 responses. Scary to see how many KosKiddies suffer from the same form of dementia.
