I looooved it when Glenn Beck brought up Zimbabwe's inflation rate like anything that could potentially happen in the US. Sorry Beck, but until we get invaded by a major colonial power that takes our lands, subverts our economy, renames us to like "USdesia" and is only ousted after a mess of elections and uprisings, and then we put a revolutionary hero in power right, lets call him USgabe, but USgabe is pretty deeply entrenched in blood by using brigadiers to crush resistance and make mass graves and etc, and then, even past all of that political power conflict, there's still land liberation issues to resolve and the vast amount of wealth and power ends up being consolidated to the government and into military cliques, and EVEN STILL then the world sees fit to mock the country in question rather than question the colonialist roots that led it down that shitpath because before colonialism it was an empire with a profitable gold trade and surprise surprise none of the issues that directly tie back to imperialist exploitation that it happened to end up having after that period of imperialist exploitation. And then somehow all of that trouble results in us having such a tenuous, unstable infrastructure that during an election crisis between the governing party and a reformist party (whose wife is killed under strange circumstances attributable to the governing party, lets just say) we reach hyperinflation?

Maybe then your Zimbabwe comparison would be valid Mr. Beck.

Hey, apparently I'm unmarriable as well (girl bitter about shitty breakup with boyfriend of 5 years), so there you go.

You're just so smaaaaaaaart. It's like you're one of those hot professors, except you're 5 years younger than me... Hmmm.

As Utah Phillips said, "The long memory is the most radical idea in America." These hurpadurp conservadouches have absolutely no sense of history or context.
