As to the idea of Socialista in general? Only a moron would patronize such an establishment. Remember all of those idiots in history class who were screwing around in the back of class? Well, here they all are in one tiny place.

There are ways to tell when someone is conservative in Hollywood. One, they never talk politics. Two, they had a promising career and disappeared off the face of the earth for no reason. There are some, like Vince Vaughn, who got too big too fast for them to not work with him even though he tortures people with Rush Limbaugh quotes. Comedians get more slack than others do though.

But you know, of course, that if they did it now, it would run the opposite way, and conservatives wouldn’t be able to work.

I guess you never worked in Hollywood then. I have and yes, you have to keep your political leanings very hush hush. My husband worked as an executive at a fledgeling studio that is/was owned by very big names, and they gave the DNC all his info so they could beg him for money. I’m sure they knew he didn’t give any.

The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a “kind and just parent” for children in crisis.

One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.
Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University of Chicago Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.
“We know that issues like juvenile justice impact each of us who live in the city of Chicago. This panel gives community members and students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it.”

So we have contact in 1995, 1997, served on the same board of an organization from ? 98-2001, then on a panel together in 2002.

Hard to argue they don’t know each other well.

I wouldn’t appear on a panel with a terrorist like Ayers, but if I did, it still wouldn’t mean we were friends.

They don’t have to be friends. The fact is that after everything Ayers did as a Weatherman, and after this 2001 comment, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”, Obama continued to associate with Ayers (and Dhorn) both on panels and on the Woods Fund board of directors.

Read this response at the other thread.

Certainly some Democrats are worried about it, and it is very neatly laid out by Taylor Marsh.

I understand there’s a guy named “superman” who does a show there. Johnny Ola told me about it.

Now THAT cracked me up. Poor ol’ Fredo is nowhere to be found. Gone fishin’ I heard.

Good catch, but it’s a panel, so he probably didn’t know who was on it until after he’d accepted. Besides, you cross paths with a lot of people in politics, and he probably didn’t even recall who they were.

I wouldn’t call Norris a conservative. Maybe a social conservative. If you support Huckabee, you can’t be much of a fiscal or national security conservative. Wait a minute…I think somebody is breaking in….oh no….no…goodbye…Chuck Norris is here….I’m dead.

Gary Bauer fan.

The more impoverished a communist country, the more luxury the governing elite enjoy.

That being the point of socialism: the protection of the wealthy elite behind a firewall of bureaucracy and military force. Collectivists want to keep the poor as poor and powerless as possible while sucking the life from them, making themselves richer. Essentially, a strong and upwardly mobile middle class is the problem.

The trope of “rich get richer, poor get poorer” is precisely the point of socialism. And to do that, they have to cripple the middle class, put up a glass ceiling of regulation and taxation and let entropy do its work.

I’m sorry where you people live there are commy bars.

Well I’ll bet where you live, there are a$$holes. Oh yeah, that would be you. Does’nt feel good does it? To be insulted? If you want to make a point just make it. Don’t be insulting.

Bruce Willis ? I’m very disappointed. I thought he was kinda, sorta a conservative. Stike his movies off my list. I’m down to Patricia Heaton & Kelsey Grammar (”BACK TO YOU” !!!)

Bruce is good to go, he attended a homecoming for a celebrated Army unit and always portrays the military in a good light in his movies. he has a weird habit of hanging out with his ex-wife and her boy-toy Ashton.
Besides, the owner of this establishment in the world’s most cynical socialist to charge $600 a table. It’s the ironic moustache of nightclubs. he and his buds probably get a good laugh out of it as they count their green every night.
