Here is the complete version of the story from page 657 in a discussion of the Clinton Years "Human rights clearly came second to business profit in U.S. foreign policy. When the international group Human Rights Watch issued its 1996 annual report, the New York Times (December 5, 1996) summarized its findings: The organization strongly criticized many powerful nations, particularly the United States, accusing them of failing to press governments in China, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia to improve human rights for fear of losing access to lucrative markets. This criticism was borne out by the Clinton Administration's bizarre approach to two nations, China and Cuba, both of which considered themselves "communist." China had massacred protesting students in Beijing in 1991 and put dissenters in prison. Yet the United States continued to give China economic aid and certain trade privileges ("most favored nation" status) for the sake of U.S. business interests.

The institutions of higher learning are hotbeds of this form of pseudo intellectualism and they get entirely too much attention, no doubt integral to their intentions, sub conscience or otherwise. Unfortunately they spread this manure on the fertile minds of our future "paragons" of government and industry and take great pride that it flies in the face of all conventional wisdom; which is why they only acquire positions of influence outside of academia by lies of omission, obfuscation, innuendo and demonization.

It's as if I said to you, “I think your marriage is exploitative,” and then proceeded to kill your spouse in order to “liberate” you. Interfering in others' decisions, even if you think they're “exploitative,” leads to disaster.

Under socialism, the “worker” exists to serve the needs of the State. The worker is not deemed smart enough to make their own decisions, government must make them instead. As such, socialism doesn't believe in private property.

Such a belief runs contrary to human nature. All people desire Liberty, to make their own decisions, determine their own destiny and believe in private property.

Our rights are inalienable, they come from God, not man. God gave man the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

He “regrets” bombing Nazis who slaughtered his relatives during the Holocaust, but he has never regretted his CPUSA membership back then.

As for being an reknown Historian, gimme a break. Some of “People's History” does reveal things that are shameful, and would provide Bonzo H. Obama grist, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that this country, despite Zinn and Bonzo is still the “Last, Best Hope of Mankind”.

Zinn, a poster boy for self-hatred.
