When your through telling lies about Stefan, perhaps you can start exposing a REAL COMMUNIST who is running for the 16th Congressional district here in PA.
http://www.johnmurphyforcongress.org
The 16th Congressional district includes half of Reading, a swath of western Berks, a portion of Chester County, and all of Lancaster County.
This guy is absolutely looney tunes, a card carrying Socialist, and this guy is actually a candidate for office right now!

Anonymous,
I just read a bit of John Murphy’s site, and I have to agree with you. This man is a nut job.
I would agree that he is a Communist as well. I did notice however that his views mirror Stefan Kosikowski’s in a lot of areas, but giving Stefan credit on one thing I agree with him on is securing our borders, and deporting the illegal aliens. Though I admit this guy is to the left of Stefan.
I doubt this guy would get elected in this district however, but I’ll tell you what if he does, I will buy you lunch sometime. Thanks for the info.

John Murphy and Stefan Kosikowski agree on Corporate Personhood and Corporate Welfare, agreed, but this Murphy guy is way left of Stefan on general ecomonics.
I heard Murphy give a speech in Philadelphia in 2004 as he was a surrogate for the Ralph Nader campaign. Murphy is against free enterprise. He wants public ownership of the means of production, ie. socialism, which I never once heard Stefan advocate for.
I hope you get a topic thread started on Murphy sometime soon to expose this assclown.

Anonymous,
While you are correct that Stefan never pushed for public ownership, however the whole Corporate Personhood is a key component to this. If the Santa Clara decision ever got overturned it would take our country down that path. Government should never have that type of power to control business. It should be up to elected officals to pass laws, but never have to power to shut down a business they don’t like, because either they don’t like them, or the owner did not vote for them, etc.

By the way if you prove me wrong, then I will buy you lunch.

“If the Santa Clara decision ever got overturned it would take our country down that path.”
Corporate Personhood has nothing whatsoever to do with socialism.
Just like Slavery created the fiction that people were property, Corporate Personhood creates the fiction that property is a person and grants property constitutional rights. It doesn’t have anything to do with public vs. private ownership or socialism, Matt. I must also point out that the leaders of the movement to end Corporate Personhood are all from the RIGHT.
Porter and Licking Counties, in rural north central Pennsylvania (not even close to being a bastion of liberals), have become the first two municipal goverments to pass legislation to deny corporations the rights of living persons!
You really need to do your homework on this one Matt, you are way off the mark.

Corporate Personhood allows corporations to have “standing” in legal proceedings, so when a local community demands that the corporation not be allowed to do something harmful to them, the corporation sues the local municipality. This means any transnational corporation that has a capitalization greater than all but the 10 wealthiest nations in the world can easily bully local communities, especially poorer ones, which is why Licking and Porter passed ordinances to ban Corporate Personhood.
My experience has been that most liberals do not support the fight against Corporate Personhood. They either do not understand the argument, or the are wealthy people who like wealth ruling America rather than democracy!

Hey Matt, not sure if you’re a sports fan, but I think most people know who Howard Eskin is….be friends with him: http://hugetinymistake.blogspot.com/2006/03/im-friends-with-howard-eskin.html

Chris,
I just read your blog, and it’s pretty good.
I’d love to get your take on the Eagles hopes this coming season. Do you think T.O. is going to be a factor for Dallas? In my view no, because Dallas still lacks a good quarterback.
March 31, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Hmm, my guess is yes, because Owens improves everyone, including the other WRs around him. However, the Dallas line is in flux, replacing old and going with newer guys, so you never know how that will shape out. I’m no expert on offensive lines, so I’d have to probably say that TO will help the Cowboys get to the playoffs for one season, but it all depends on their line and defense if they go far at all.
Also, I said one year because you never know with this guy, he’s simply an amazing cancer for a team. He’s one of the few guys that I will say that you might be better off without the guy.
I know your other readers may think we’re being boring here, so I’ll throw in a COWBOYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! for them
April 1, 2006 at 9:47 am
T.O. will be good for the Cowboys in September and October, maybe November, but as the season winds down, and it becomes appearant that the Cowboys aren’t going anywhere in the playoffs, he will become the same problem he was for the Eagles.
T.O. wants to win a Superbowl, snd he is NOT a team player. A caustic combination!

“While you are correct that Stefan never pushed for public ownership [socialism]…”
Oh my Matt, you are now admitting Stefan is NOT a communist.
The two indispensable tenets of communism are economic socialism and atheism. You CAN’T be a communist without these two beliefs.
Reading Stefan’s Bio, I can see he is NOT an atheist either!
What’s up Matt, having difficulty debating this guy, so you resort to misappropriate labels like a desperate buffoon?
P.S.- Eagles suck too! Go Steelers!
April 2, 2006 at 4:59 pm
Oh my Matt, you are now admitting Stefan is NOT a communist.
No I’m not, I stating Stefan has not taken an issue.
As for the Steelers ask Chris what he thinks about their superbowl victory. They are Steel ers alright.

Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, I. Lewis Libby, Dick Cheney… the list of Republican criminals is growing long!
Tom DeLay resigned in disgrace today, one day after his key staffer copped a plea agreement with federal prosecutors investigating the Jack Abramoff / Congress corruption.
Oh my, your boys are going down Son.
April 4, 2006 at 9:35 pm
I would think twice before your gal Cynthia McKinny who likes to hit police officers.
Spare me the partisan crap.
April 4, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Oh, and Delay has not been proven guilty yet. Liberals always cry for due process when it’s them, but I see we have another do as i say, not as i do moment here.

“Spare me the partisan crap.”
Now you are one to talk about partisan politics…

Former House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay Resigns!
Tom Delay, Republican Congressman (TX-22), announced his resignation yesterday (4 Apr. 2006) three days after his Deputy Chief of Staff plead guilty to corruption and criminal conspiracy in the ongoing Jack Abramoff influence peddling investigation. DeLay was forced to resign his leadership position seven months ago when he was indicted for violations of Texas state laws involving campaign finance. Former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff is already scheduled to serve nearly six years for a fraud conviction involving a Miami Cruise Ship Company, but the Washington D.C. corruption case is still wide open. Prosecutors announced yesterday that the corruption scheme was run out of the former Majority Leader’s Washington D.C. office.
Not since the Summer of 1974 have the Halls of Power reverberated from such a shake up in Washington D.C., that year being the infamous resignation of President Richard Milhouse Nixon, who later confessed and then was pardoned for his Watergate crimes. That did not help the Republican majority in Congress though, as the American public swept them out of power four months later.
Now that Tom DeLay has decided to ‘cut and run,’ someone should remind him that no one quit the Alamo. We have not heard the last of this incredible drama!

Matt, it’d be interesting to get your point of view in any of these discussions, and maybe your readers as well.

Give me a look.
