During his election night victory speech, Congressman Sean Duffy told the assembled crowd that the great task of his generation was to stop the ” creeping socialism ” that he feels is threatening America. What was Duffy talking about?
The only thing I could think of that made any sense is that Duffy must be afraid of the citizens of North Dakota. Why?
Because North Dakota has the only state owned bank in the United States. A state owned bank is socialism. What kind of horrible oppression do the North Dakotans live under from their form of socialism?
North Dakota currently enjoys a budget surplus and the lowest unemployment rate in the nation. The Bank of North Dakota didn’t get involved in making the kinds of wildly speculative sub-prime loans that toppled Wall Street brokerage firms, and that prompted Congress to bail out large commercial banks.
And when large banks won’t lend money to small businesses and family farmers, the Bank of North Dakota does, keeping North Dakotans money at home instead of sending it to Wall Street. By God, that does sound downright un-American!
What can be done about this imminent threat to American capitalism? Maybe we should invade North Dakota? We could probably catch them completely off guard. Or maybe Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana should erect large border fences to stem the tide of socialist immigration to other states?
Better yet, maybe Sean Duffy should get a grip on himself and quit spouting hysterical nonsense?

CB,
Come out and name yourself, and your cause, and then organize it in a meaningful and effective way, or shut the fuck up. Thanks.
Steve
You know, the more I read this concerned badger guy, the more I think he’s a republican. Zach,: how do I get a comment at the top of this post: above CB’s?
How about a cross reference to show how many of these companies also contributed to Mayor Barrett’s campaign…I would guess more than a few.
Absolutely. North Dakota has a history of being conservative but with a populist streak (thus the state bank). As I always say, government isn’t the problem; incompentent people running the government is.
Jack,
You make an excellent point, and the common ground here between conservatism and populism is good old fashioned common sense.
I used the word socialist for obvious reasons, but what we’re talking about is common sense. Read for yourselves.

Which Wisconsinites out there would refuse to keep their money in the Badger State Bank? Think about it.
I see this blog is all keyboarding an no action – just another version of atrio’s “101st keyboarding brigade”
Go ahead, pretend to be a genius that is making a difference – anyone that comes to your blog clearly sees otherwise.
Real change will take real action – no progress was made in civil rights or worker rights without strikes and boycotts.
But you silence those voices.
So pound-a-way at your little keyboard or blackberry and pretend to be important – you are doing NOTHING for change and are actively censoring that dialog!
Yeah, because clearly you’re making a difference, what with all your references to scat, anuses, colons, the Koch brothers, and Johnsonville sausages.
CB…talk all you want as far as we can see all you are is a blog troll…there’s no way to tell if you are actually in the trenches or not either since you hide behind a pseudonym. My guess is this is all YOU GOT!
people ain’t buying those sausages, moron, but don’t take my word for it, ask WI retailers.
better yet – call johnsonville
Oh yeah – you are just a keyboarder with nothing but snark.
What a silly little blog…
Try some MEANINGFUL ACTION sometime – it actually works.
But it won’t let you pretend to be a superstar.
A “silly little blog,” yet here you are posting day after day.
Ask randy hopper if we have a “silly little blog”….concerned, whoever you are, the thing is if we all sat down in a room, we would probably get along well, although you need to learn the term “moderation”.
Why not just “moderate”/delete his previous comments, then make his posting privileges contingent on using his real name, and on participating rationally?
Zach is pretty even handed here and lets us all use the screen name that we want. There’s no reason he should change just for one individual. I would prefer to know who I am talking to but until I decide to do my own site, it’s not up to me to say.
With that said MJS is tightening its comment access.
He’s being moderated, and I’ve taken other measures as well.
Zach,
I wasn’t being critical…his little diatribes are amusing in their own little way…and I don’t think anyone here takes them as anything but the minor league attempts at political activism that they can never even hope to be!
No worries Ed.

Steve, no caffeine for you after the 10 PM news…OK?
Ed,
I will certainly take that under advisement. Concernedbadger really tripped my trigger.
I was referring to the four identical posts…LOL!
I know. I was just replicating CB’s style. 🙂
