    "'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.'"

    "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser"

    "Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women... have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron."

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
