That’s about all that can be said today regarding the stock market. It also gives a scary look at how much we are dependent on RED CHINA. I found out today that Muhlenberg School District has a policy that forbids students and teachers from calling China “RED CHINA”, “Communists”, “Pinkos”, and “Oppressors”, and that they are to be called “Passionate Socialists”.
Now our politically correct morons out there get upset when we call China exactly what they are. COMMUNISTS!
Could you imagine during the height of the cold war calling Fidel Castro a “Passionate Socialist”? This just shows the decline in our education system. This is an ideal time for teachers to educate students about why George Washington warned never to deal with outside influences, and how they would resort to this country’s destruction, but no, Muhlenberg School District considers George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson “gun trotting white extremists”, and refer to the Chinese as “Passionate Socialists”.
I predict that we have not seen the end of this plunge in the stock market. Greenspan lit the match yesterday, and now the fire is out of control.

The Chinese government is totalitarian, but since they no longer practice Communist Doctrine… more like Wall Street Capitalism; which when combined with the Dictatorship, becomes another Nazi Germany type country!
We will regret what has been done some day when the eventual war comes. Our corporations built the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany too before we the people had to go die to save the world…
SHAME

I haven’t heard of this policy at Muhlenberg. I’ve heard staff use Communist to describe China before.
I’ve never heard ‘passionate socialist” either. Probably because it wouldn’t fit, being that China isn’t a socialist nation.

Also, this shows us that we are truly living in the midst of a global economy, and what happens outside of our nation’s borders will affect what happens within.

“Also, this shows us that we are truly living in the midst of a global economy, and what happens outside of our nation’s borders will affect what happens within.”
Which is exactly why George Washington was against it in his farewell address. A free country can not survive if it depends on another outside influence economically, or culturally. A true and free capitalistic society and a COMMUNIST society do not mix.
That is the whole problem with your Global Studies Bull Shit that Muhlenberg High School teaches. It does not educate, but indoctrinate. It explains a great deal since your one teacher Ms. Goldstein is a self admitted communist, or should I say Passionate Socialist?
Maybe it’s all that RADON GAS infecting the brain since the school board is not interested in education, and would rather spend that money on custom jerseys, and needles for the athletic depart for the students to shoot up steroids with. Have every jock in that school piss in a cup, and their urine would detect so many drugs it would make Jerry Garcia’s urine look like drinking water.

“Which is exactly why George Washington was against it in his farewell address.”
The global economy isn’t preventable. It was brought about by the technological advances many countries experienced. In today’s economy, there are no truly capitalist countries. The United States is the closest, though there is still government involvement.
“That is the whole problem with your Global Studies Bull Shit that Muhlenberg High School teaches. It does not educate, but indoctrinate. It explains a great deal since your one teacher Ms. Goldstein is a self admitted communist, or should I say Passionate Socialist?”
There are many facets of this argument that are false. Global Studies is a course designed to introduce students to other cultures, so that they may be aware of what is happening around the world.
Ms. Goldstan is the English teacher in charge of American Studies, the tenth grade counterpart to Global. She isn’t a communist, either.
What I really want to know is where you get your “inside information” on Muhlenberg. Most of what you say would never be allowed in the public school system.

“The global economy isn’t preventable. It was brought about by the technological advances many countries experienced. In today’s economy, there are no truly capitalist countries. The United States is the closest, though there is still government involvement.”
So if someone has a big penis they will become porn stars because it’s preventable? We all have choices. David Orek, Sears, and others that believe in an all American product proved this idea wrong several times which is why the media does everything to smear these people, or make them out to be jokes. Stefan Kosikowski made this point several times that throughout history no country every survived on an all outsourcing economy, and highlighted how nations like England, France, and others perished from it. Remember what Ben Franklin said, “A Republic if you can keep it”, not a republic screw you because it’s going down the shitter. That phrase alone tells you that we have a choice.
“Ms. Goldstan is the English teacher in charge of American Studies, the tenth grade counterpart to Global. She isn’t a communist, either.”
That’s not what you told me a year ago when you said she was preaching over and over how a Communist society is superior to that of Capitalism, and free markets and that America sucks. I know you have to face these people and cover your ass, but come on.

I’m not talking about outsourcing. It’s a horrible idea, and it only benefits around 2% of our country. What I’m talking about is the global economy that came about in the 1990s.
[The global economy gave business the ability to market products and services all over the globe. It has also allowed them to develop partnerships and alliances throughout the world, which has become essential for success in today’s business.] (Borrowed from wikipedia)
“That’s not what you told me a year ago when you said she was preaching over and over how a Communist society is superior to that of Capitalism, and free markets and that America sucks. I know you have to face these people and cover your ass, but come on.”
Matt, the in-class discussion at the time was dealing with George Orwell’s 1984, where the society was living in a utopia, similar to what communism is, in theory. I seriously doubt that I told you she said “America sucks.”

Ben,
No offense, but you are in serious need of an education on global economics!
There is nothing inevitable about the global economy… that is pure propaganda by the Trans-nationalists who owe no allegiaence to any nation, just to furthering their own wealth.
If you studied history beyond the pathetic choices the school district chooses to employ in it’s classrooms, you would learn that the global economy is an old idea from the 19th Century. We the People beat it back then and we can do so again.
Technology is truly irrelevant. What makes the global economy run are the trade laws!
When we get a true American back in the White House, we can change the laws again, and go back to bilateral trade agreements. No nation can sustain itself on debt forever. A nation that does not PRODUCES (a majority of) it’s own goods and services will fall as every other EMPIRE before ours has already!
So shall it be written… so shall it be done.
I suggest you read “Wealth and Democracy” by Kevin Philips. He is a former Wall Street Journal Editor, not some flaming leftist.

Andy, that is why I am hoping to major in International Business Management, so that I can learn of the global economy for myself, and further my education regarding the matter.
I will take you up on the read, as I’m unfamiliar with it, and I am always looking for something new to read.
