Corel to be bought by Vector Capitol
mgeoffrey writes "Corel announced that Vector Capitol will acquire Corel by buying out all outstanding shares at $1.05 a share. They are buying 22,890,000 shares. Vector Capitol has published a full report." Looks like the natural continuation after Microsoft sold off their Corel holdings.

"To put it bluntly, if Bush has taken Congress and the nation into war based on bogus information"
If there is any bogus information, it is that obtained from the former Iraqi government, which in several ways indicated that it still had "WMD".
No, fascism is not the right word for it. Fascism is a different kind of political system - nothing like what we have in America. Do a web search on Italian Fascism if you don't believe me. The correct words for the American system is totalitarianism and tyranny. It is important that the left use the proper words to describe the problems we are facing in America, because if they don't then people will just think they are a bunch of ranting maniacs. Another commonly misused word is "Nazi" as in "Bush is a Nazi." This emotionally overwrought description is completely inaccurate. Bush shares no beliefs whatsoever with those of National Socialist Germany. Compare the tenets of neo-conservativism with those of Nazism and you will see that they share no similarities. "Bush is a tyrant" "Bush is a criminal" "Bush is a retard" -- yes all of these are correct, but "Bush is a fascist" and "Bush is a nazi" are not correct. By avoiding the misuse of terms you will gain credibility in the eyes of the public. We must avoid falling into the doublespeak of the ruling regime.
Anti-semitism is typical a given for fascism and nazism. Bush, in contrast, very actively opposes anti-Semitism, including supporting Israel against those who want to wipe it out because its people are Jewish.
Big centralized government? Another important part of fascism. Bush deals it a blow when he resists efforts to have the government take over and wreck health care. He also reduces government power with his ideas such as a tax cut for all taxpayer
Race? Again, Bush is very anti-nazi, anti-fascist: he supports equal rights for all. This is shown in his opposition to the Michigan college admission policy which seeks to deny applicants rights if they have the wrong skin color.

Anti-semetism is typical for Naziism, not fascism. Fascism is an economic term. It is a form of socialism where the means of production is controlled but not outright owned by goverment. Bush matches that description (as did just about every president after Cleveland).

Nonsense. Non-defense government spending is increasing at a 50% faster rate now than when Bill Clinton was President (see www.cbo.gov). The Lefies out to be cheering Bush. He's the best president THEY ever had.
Furthermore Bush's tax cut works out be about a $3 per week tax cut. Hardly a drop in the ocean when compared to a $2,300,000,000,000 federal budget. Of course the Democrats are worse when they yell "The Tax cut will bankrupt the nation and people will lose their favotite programs!"
he supports equal rights for all.
He does at that. Afterall, 0=0.
