The truly remarkable thing is that so many Jewish people support the left who will ultimately destroy them. The reality is that Jews so well in capitalist, competitive, free, and free market societies and that in societies where all power is centered in the state it is absolutely inevitable that the state will eventually turn against them. States are about power. Power is more easily wielded when the people are divided and turned against "enemies" who are small, identifiable, and separate from the masses. It is not a coincidence that the collectivists of the Marxist variety (Stalin and Castro and Putin to name a couple) and of a racial variety (Hitler comes to mind) were virulently anti-Semitic. How Jewish people who prosper in freedom and capitalism and become victims and targets in statism, collectivism and socialism can continue to support the left just baffles me.

Recapitulates an old left phenomenon. In the former USSR their psychiatric nomenclature model listed a whole series of schizophrenia-related diagnoses specifically focused on "patients" (e.g. political prisoners) whose delusional beliefs caused them to challenge government control, widely accepted social concepts (like the primacy of the Communist party), and the intentions of government leaders. How fascinating to see that now that the US political climate is being dominated by Alinsky-style closet-Marxists, they are reviving the old Soviet mis-use of psychiatry as a tool for demonization and denigration of their legitimate political opponents.

This fool misses key features unique to the US Constitution, Separation of Powers, the Federal system with independent states closer to the people managing most direct contacts from government to people, the right to bear arms and so many more. Someone with as limited and parochial a vision as Her, someone with such a lack of historical insight should NOT be a Supreme Court justice. She is basically an ignorant ACLU advocate masquerading as a Supreme Court justice.

Ethnicities who marry the women they have children with, value and seek education, and enter into businesses do spectacularly well in America - think Russian and German Jews, Cubans, Japanese and Chinese immigrants among others. Ethnicities who do 2 of 3 of these behaviors do average. Ethnicities who do 1/3 or 0/3 of these behaviors become the underclass. Success in America is not about religion or race or national origin or language, it is about behavior.

Last time I ever buy any of their music. Leftist creeps.

Marxist assumptions and policies underpin persistent decades long European economic stagnation. No surprise that the Alinsky radical Obama feels comfortable there.

Their comments are so ironic and foolish. The only thing that made China, india, Japan, Korea, and the other Asian powers relevant in the modern world after 4 centuries of submission to Europe is the fact that they adopted capitalism. The thing that made America the wealthiest country in the world was capitalism. The thing that make Kong Kong and Singapore economically successful is their capitalism. The world needs more capitalism not less.

Someone looking at the world 5 centuries ago and seeing the sophisticated and powerful Chinese, Moghul, Ottoman and Aztec empires and the fractious, scattered, impoverished Europeans would never have expected Europe to emerge dominant. But all the big empires had monied elites (aristocracies) who feared capitalist competition and the creative destruction that growth and meritocracy brings and suppressed their nascent capitalists while the division of Europe prevented anybody from establishing hegemony (ruling classes hate the disruption capitalism brings) and the competition between nations led naturally to the development of capitalism and its children trade and technology and the rise of the European and Anglo-Saxon world hegemony. Now we again have the monied masters decrying those pesky capitalists and the competition and meritocracy they bring and seeking to again shackle the giant enabler of human ability, capitalism.

Other countries are far more supportive of their artists than the US . . . . says mega-millionaire Redford to an audience of multi-millionaire artists. If true, kinda makes you wonder why all the artistic talent flees Europe, Russia and elsewhere and comes here. What an ingrate.

I like Gingrich and have often written comments supporting him. But I find his comments on Bain and on venture capitalism in general to be completely economically ignorant, misleading, and likely disqualifying him - since capitalism is the only answer to our current economic decline, the only way to restore capitalism is to beat Obama but it makes no sense to beat Obama by electing a Republican who is just as anti-capitalist.
Being against "crony capitalism" in which government officials give money to businesses then receive back money in campaign contributions - like Immelt and Obama at GE now - is fine. "Crony Capitalism" is not real capitalism. THe money in crony capitalism comes from taxes expropriated by the government gun. There is no gun put to the head of the people who buy the restructured company. Buying broken businesses, investing in them and fixing them as much as possible, closing down the failing parts and selling the viable parts to get your investment back with a positive return is not only capitalism, it is absolutely essential to our economy that someone does this.

Actually I had been a Gingrich supporter. He seemed the brightest and most knowledgeable and effective character of the lot. However, I believe in capitalism, in free enterprise. If Gingrich does not get the fact that in capitalism companies with good products or services and management succeed, those with poor products, services or management fail, that it is right for companies making products or selling services people don't want to fail then he completely is useless and might as well join the Obama administration. Similarly if he does not get the fact that venture capitalists, hedge funds, angel investors and people like Bain come in, figure out what works and try to save and extend it, figure out what will fail and cut it out then he is useless and should join the Obama administration.
