Those Young Republicans

[Pangloss62]

The guy on the left looks like a suicide bomber, but who is the angel floating above their heads?

That's Nancy Pelosi, the evil angel from equally evil San Francisco.

What kills me is that people like Stalin violated civil rights. You could look at this creche as something the ACLU put up. Most "Young Republicans" seem to express a knee-jerk, reactionary politics. People hate the ACLU until they need them.

And why is Karl Marx so horrible? If you want to understand capitalism and the relationships between labor, profit, and ownership of the means of production, Marx should be required reading, even for Young Republicans.

And many historians of religion would tell you that the solstice is indeed the root of most Northern Hemispherical religions. The SUN and The SON are very similar in meaning.

I thought it was supposed to be Hillary.

She and Nancy are both evil though, and pretty much interchangable.

Karl Marx inspired genocides. He and his should be stacked in Hell for cordwood therefore. As for understanding labor, profit, and capitalism properly done, you'd do better to start with Henry Hazlitt and Adam Smith and then scour the libertarian reading library. Remember that Marx posited a "Labor Theory of Value" which does not model value at all, but models cost of production. Taking Marx seriously means you cannot understand economic theory, and without understanding of economics, disaster and poverty both follow. Horrible.

You wouldn't see that much similarity of root-words anywhere except in the Germanic languages -- definitely nowhere in the Romance languages. Even the Russian, and likely the other Slavic languages, which are all pretty close to each other, whose words for son and sun do both start with an S, diverge quite a lot after the initial letter; an S then a vowel is about as near as they stay bound.
