Sure - as long as some other country is footing their military spending!

The Dems at the very top knew that to make more citizens dependend upon govt. was to breed more voters for their party.
Class warfare happens when the poor vastly outnumber the rich. You seem to be implying that the poor are only Democrats. And you make it sound like this war isn't justified. You use the word "incite" as if poor people fighting against a system that oppresses them is a bad thing.

Of course the Democrats want to increase their voting bloc just as the Republicans do whatever they can (remove millions from the voter rolls right before elections, disallow Motor Voter laws, etc.) to do the same thing. Get real. Your partisanship, your black-and-white, your us-vs.-them thinking is laughably extreme.

The rich are winning and they are winning BIG. How much does one have to ignore the slaps to the face by reality to believe otherwise?

Not so! you'll do well to "think again." We have more class warfare and more corruption with the Communist-in-Chief that we now have. Just how many, on average, are in a president's CABINET?
Are you aware of what MSNBC oops, let slip about Obama and ignoring some of his own cabinet members?! *(they got the youtube taken down, uh huh)

A "talking head" on MSNBC told the anchor of one of their shows that he heard from two cabinet members of Obama's, that these two had not even seen Obama in the first two years of their having been hired to work beside him!! Saw the MSNBC clip, myself.

Then, Trumka, is that the name of a Union Boss? next was a clip of him being asked how often he communicated with the White House, and he leaned back, prouder than the proverbial Peacock, and said talk to? or be in the White House? then said he was/is IN our White House every week, and talks to someone there daily, or just about daily!!

VERY FREAKY and suspicious as, well as this Administration seriously, is.

What about the hollywood crowd who describe themselves as progressives while raking in huge amounts of money using the capitalists tools. Oh yes, what do they do but sell books about their progressive ideas and make movies pushing their garbage and raking in the dough.

The democrats who attend those $35,000 a plate dinners to contribute to Obama.. the democratic party is filty rich and are not truthful to those who follow the progressive garbage fed to them. The democrats are not for the poor.. they use them and keep them down.. at least the Republicans are honest while the democrats are the elitists and pretend they are for the poor..all the while putting down the Republicans as greedy and rich .

Such a big sham!

They've used propaganda to convince most Americans living pay check to pay check that they are for their best interests.....Pathetic and sad.

If Americans knew how much they were being played for fools, the Dems would be kicked out of office in every district across the Nation.
All hail the recipient class!

Still looking for directions to the Four Kids by Four Different Men Memorial Hospital!

Listening to you mumble about right wing story lines you hear on AM hate radio..it becomes obvious you don't have a single fact in you heard.

I told you Western countries that have the most progressive tax rates and the most union workers have the highest standard of living, rate the happiest and least corrupt, and the most press freedoms.

I can back that all up with objective sourcing.

I can gladly lead you to FEC statistics that show the GOP gets a a much larger share of the wealthy's campaign money than the Dems do.

But you aren't into reality are you?

I knew that when you started rambling on about "Hollywood"...which is typical from right wingers that have been brainwashed.

If all these other countries have such a higher standard of living, are "happier" and less corrupt that the U.S. then why don't you and your ilk move to one of them?

I would love to but you can't just move without getting a immigration visa which are rarely given out.

How is it you don't know the simple fact that you just can't move to other Western, industrialized countries?
