It IS Class warfare Mr. President, the Pukes have been waging it since 1981

[DainBramaged]

Don't any of you get it? We do.



So wrong, so misdirected.

[Bragi]

1. Correction: It's been happening since 1963

The takeover of America did NOT begin with Reagan. It began in 1963 when the military, the intelligence agencies and the right-wing anti-communists coalesced to murder the three major liberal leaders of that era -- JFK, MLK and RFK. We should try to keep our heads straight about that.

7. Yup of course, my idea isn't valid, so you just decide yours is better

:eyes:

15. Weird temper tantrum /nt

[DainBramaged]

16. Give me a break, crap reply.

Another member of the DU history police speaks up.

2. It's been happening since 1493.

[WinkyDink]

3. Ha! I was going to say 1929, but by Jove, I think you've got it!

5. I agree it has been going on for a LONG LONG time, but in 1981

the rich stepped on the accelerator and now we're heading off the cliff.

6. Or maybe since 1001...

Or maybe 1001 when Eric the Red and the Vikings discovered America. Columbus was a late comer.

8. EXACTLY!

9. Not wrong and not misdirected! This war has little to do with Obama.

The war has been ongoing long before Obama hit the scene. Long before he was born. The ReTHUGS have been declaring war on the American people for many, many decades now.

10. Nobody says he started it or fomented it. He is supposed to join the fight for "the small people"

though. Otherwise he joins the wealthy. There is no neutral territory or a such a thing as a participant with little to do with the war. You are one side or the other. We do not need a referee but rather a fierce and relentless advocate with power and a platform.

If you acknowledge the position of the TeaPubliKlans and their endgame then you have just admitted the utter absurdity of "bipartisanship" and "post-partisanship". What the fuck do we need with a leader and point man that is ideologically devoted to meeting the enemy, sworn to our destruction half way. The entire idea is suicidal, wholly stupid, and patently illogical. Leading your own troops 'halfway' to destruction gets you fragged.

11. Have you not paid any attention to what he's been saying for the last few weeks?

The wealthy need to pay their fair share. Period. End of discussion!

[loyalsister]

12. Yes he gets it

Are you offended by the omission of violent language?

He also gets how the subtly of language affects the perceived meaning. "Math" is logical and neutral. Very smart use of language. Someone would really have to reach to say it imposes some kind of threat or danger to them.

[DainBramaged]

13. He doesn't get it, the last President to 'get it' was Bill Clinton

[loyalsister]

14. Despite or because of welfare reform?

. Yes he got it. That doesn't mean he was always on "our" side.

[DainBramaged]

17. You think President Obama is on our side?

:rofl:

[loyalsister]

20. Who is us?

He has done a lot for people with disabilities. He clearly gets discrimination.

[DainBramaged]

21. Concrete meet block.......

have a nice day.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Balancing the budget on the backs of the elderly and middle class IS class warfare

But then the Republicans always accuse others of the exact things they do. Who came up with this "class warfare" line? Frank Luntz, the guy who came up with the "job creators" saying?

[workinclasszero]

19. Started here??
