| Short Round: Capitalism Faces Defeat |
| 2010-09-23 |
| [Arab Times (Kuwait)] Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday in New York that if the United States started a conflict with Iran it would be a war with "no limits," US media reported. "The United States has never entered a serious war, and has never been victorious," Ahmadinejad told a meeting with US media owners and editors. "The United States doesn't understand what war looks like. When a war starts, it knows no limits," reports of the event quoted him as saying. The UN Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program and the United States has called for stringent application of the measures. Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that capitalism faces inevitable defeat and called for the overhaul of "undemocratic and unjust" global decision-making bodies. In a speech on the second day of a UN anti-poverty summit, the Iranian leader blamed capitalism and transnational corporations for "the suffering of countless women, men and children in so many countries." Ahmadinejad's speech to the 192-member General Assembly never mentioned the Millennium Development Goals -- the UN targets set by world leaders in 2000 to combat global poverty by 2015 -- that are the focus of the three-day summit called by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to spur their implementation. |

| #7 'We have not had capitalism for over 50 years.' About as long as we've had the UN. |

| #5 The leftards won't be happy until America is reduced to the level of Zimbabwe, Hugoland, or Iran. The tool is redistribution of any wealth we have left. Hillary wants to give away $50 million of taxpayers hard-earned money to buy stoves for people in other countries. What the hell is that going to buy us? More poverty in our country. More State Department crap. |

| #4 The gilded, societal elites will climb aboard their chartered NetJets and fly off to distant lands leaving America an Islamic rubbish bin. I'd like to know what distant lands you have in mind. I mean, after America falls, what's left? France? Switzerland? |

| #3 The forty year+ process of establishing (through the legal system and our courts) a PROTECTED CLASS of people, possessing entitlements and class deference has set the stage for an Islamic decivilization. Our society and Judeo-Christian culture are at a virtual crossroads. The gilded, societal elites will climb aboard their chartered NetJets and fly off to distant lands leaving America an Islamic rubbish bin. I am least of all hopeful. |

| #2 You can almost hear the progressive heads exploding as these tools try to grasp how it can be that Ahmadinejad doesn't love them. Let's hope it wakes them from their stupor and they get over thinking if they just hate America enough, kill American business, bow, apologize, allow enough mosques to be built, permit sharia law to replace the Constitution, tinkle in their pants, and spout meaningless PC mantras they will be liked and thought to be very cool abroad. |

| #1 You can almost hear the progressive heads exploding as these tools try to grasp how it can be that Ahmadinejad doesn't love them. Doesn't he see that they are on his side and have done all they can to hate and destroy America? Surely, he doesn't mean them when he talks about targeting unjust" global decision-making bodies and transnational corporations??? If they promise to hate western civilization, capitalism, American values, Christians and Jews even more, then can he be their friend? |
