Molly is a great start to a lot more lieberals (intentional incorrect spelling) who need to follow her.

Wow.
Nice.
I'm appalled by the fact that you would wish death on people with whom you disagree.
I checked your blog. I can't say it pissed me off. I can say that I appreciate civil discourse, and respect views with which I may disagree.
So, I will just leave it at this: one of the problems with modern debate is that those with insufficient abilities to communicate tend to resort to hateful and clumsy attempts at what they consider to be humor. Having read your blog, you clearly are not stupid. I am at a loss as to why, therefore, you would type such a base and tasteless comment.
My point with Molly, by the way, was not that her "liberal" views will be missed. They may, but that is not what I found so valuable about her writing. She was one of the few that consistently held the powerful to account. In this day and age of corporate ownership of all media, that is vital and increasingly rare.
Thank you for your pertinent comments on my blog.
You may want to review, however, Marx's beliefs about laborers and their "value" and your writing in regards to the "workers."
In regards to Good Golly Miss Molly, I am an astute follower of politics, people, and History (besides being trained as a scientist but now working as a VP of Sales).
In History, my specialty is Russian and Soviet History and current economics and politics.
"Dictatorship of the Proletariat" is a term familiar to most Sovietologists. This means, simply, "The ends justify the means." Lies, distortions, propaganda, and even deaths kept communists in power in a number of countries.
Lies (such as the president lied, in itself a lie), distortions (Juliet Roberts stating Republicans are between reptile and repugnant in the dictionary), propaganda (everything the Democrat Party puts out), and deaths (Clinton administration and his governorship), are illusrative of the enemy that we face in America. The modern day successors of communism: Liberals (lieberals). These things who think they are so witty are actually as dangerous as the terrorists.
Thus, I shed no tears at their demise and only wish there were many more that follows Good Golly Miss Molly.
Thanks again.
Like you, I have read Marx. The point I was making was not that Marx is right. My point is that the attitude taken by workers is a reality, and one that business should acknowledge and address if they want the government and demagogue politians to leave them alone.
I still say you should be ashamed of yourself for hoping that liberals die, and I'd like to think your mother taught you better than that. I for one think the world would be a better place without the mindless propaganda being peddled by Faux "News," but I don't wish death on Roger Ailes.
I respect your ideas and agree with some of them, and will visit your blog frequently. I do not respect your animus towards others. The problem with political discourse today is the anger and the systemic elimination of the humanity of those with whom some disagree. This applies to both sides, of course, as you very rightly point out.
