Comment Re:"Professor killing Ukraine (Score 1) 359

What you don't understand is that Putin and most Russians cannot contemplate an independent Ukraine. It destroys the founding myth of Russia and Russian nationalism.

When Putin says this like this please tell me there is nothing to be afraid of from this man and this country.

Looks like another nationalistic rant?

Try Patriotic plea.

That might be insightful if by 'pro-Western faction' you actually meant anything. It was not 'pro-Western' policies or governing that cost Yushchenko a second term, it was pathetically weak leadership. And Yanukovich won with a bare majority in a run-off.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that, in US parlance, Yanukovich is a two-time felony loser, twice convicted of aggravated assault and robbery.

His government has moved swiftly and surely to censor journalist, blunt criticism with intimidation of Universities and just yesterday, assaulting a journalist.

This is not about introducing a forward looking tax law, it's about putting in a law that will be used to bankrupt and criminialise the opposition.

Just like they do in Russia

"Big, bloated, inefficient government leads to big, bloated, inefficient corps, with no real innovation or market competition. "

Rarely have I read a more egregious pile of nonsense.

Big government causes big corporations which leads to market inefficiencies? What?

First of all, the more powerful governments are, the more powerful regulation is which *limits* the power and size of corporate power. Let's not forget that Government *represents* the People. Zero marks for electing idiots though...as Americans you should be taking responsibility for making sure your elected representatives do what you want them to.

Secondly, the fact that massive corporations have "no real {incentive to} innovation" and distort "market competition" should be encouraging so-called "Libertarians" towards greater government regulation.

Submission + - Glenn Beck & Net Neutrality (thinkprogress.org)

tnmc writes: Glenn Beck: "OK. I want to start just real quick – Net neutrality, because it happens on Thursday. This is that everybody should have free Internet, right?" It gets better (or worse) from there. Fox News is the highest rated cable channel on the TV and Glenn Beck is the most popular show on the network...and he is telling people that Net Neutrality is about eliminating Free Speech. I think the Slashdot Nation might take a bit of umbrage at being described as communists by Beck.
