Las Vegas Sun publisher and Obama supporter Brian Greenspun calls for a “new” socialist economy:
In this global economy, most of our major competitors are sponsored, funded or otherwise encouraged by the governments in which these competitors reside. Cheaper money, more workable regulations and the political and moral suasion of the good offices of governments is a difficult combination for purely private American business interests to overcome. And, as a result, we often don’t.
Having the government, on behalf of the taxpayers, buy into our largest companies does a couple of good things. It provides instant liquidity and it gives the government a seat at the table so it knows much better and much faster the status of our economic engines. I didn’t say control of those companies, just a seat.
The problem with that idea is that once government buys “just a seat”, they will want to buy another seat, then another seat, etc. until they own all the seats.
Spare us the bullcrap, Brian. What you are blatantly advocating is nothing new.
Whether it may be “just a seat” or a full takeover, nationalizing banks and major industries is a rotten idea. But of course, it’s just peachy keen with you — as long as Bid Daddy Government doesn’t buy “just a seat” at the table of the Greenspun Corporation.
In closing, why does the Las Vegas Sun harbor a far-left bias on every page?
Why?

Well, as it turnes out, Obama actually meant it when he said that McCain didn’t know what he was up against. Socialism in its ugliest shape is coming to America if Obama gets elected.
And the worst part is that many people who will end up voting for Obama, wouldn’t know what they are really voting for. They don’t go to the sites like this one, they don’t read long data-rich threads, they don’t watch scary YouTube kids-singing videos. We keep going down in polls because people listen to the huge propaganda machine–and take its lies at face value. What we need is an arsenal of conversation changers. These attention grabbers that make an impact in 5 sec. And THEN those whose opinions still can be changed may start reading more. Obama’s side if excellent in this. They have pros working around the clock on all sorts of visuals that go straight to the emotions level, bypassing logic. Just take a look at this site know what I’m talking about: http://www.designforobama.org/.
Can you name a single memorable anti-Obama poster that speaks to the center-leaning Democratic voter? I can’t. And to expose who Obama really is we need some of that. A new repository accompanied by a blog and a Facebook page are available to fill this gap. Please take a look–it will take you only a couple of minutes to form your opinion and decide whether you’d like to use it. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

Thank you! Not only do I look forward to using some of the posters, I highly recommend that all my readers and fellow pro-liberty bloggers pay a visit as well.
Keep fighting the good fight!
