  1. History is gearing up to repeat itself... (Shudder) The question is, can the sane and rational stop it in time?...

  2. From reading the four gospels, I personally think Christ's ideology is most in line with left libertarianism and some models of anarcho-communism.  I think it's no coincidence that after this death the first Christian communities were communalist communes. Also what he did to the moneychangers in the temple pretty much sums up what he thought of the corrupt/predatory model of mercantilism/capitalism.

  3. Especially one stinking up the bench for 30+ years!

  4. I gotta say FDR likely surpasses Lincoln as our greatest president! I now 'fully' understand why my grandma (RIP) loved FDR, and also why she hated Reagan. (Sighs) I hope I live to see the day, when this nation elects another FDR. And the Reagan Revolution of greed is good and the kleptocratic corporatocracy that was unleashed upon us, is vanquished and thrown in the dustbin of history! "Where it belongs!!..."

  5. The neoliberal Reagan revolution should have died after the crash in 2008. Unfortunately, Obama along with the corporate dems didn't allow this to happen, they revived it! And it's been lumbering along like a undead zombie ever since. It's time for this sleazy scam to finally die...

  6. The most telling element of RW Libertarian ideology is their disdain for democracy. This exposes the totalitarian monster underneath all the freedom and liberty (tm) talking points and rhetoric.

  7. We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both. - Louis D. Brandeis

  8. I'm not surprised that turd would pull something this extremist. Steal a calculator - Get the full book thrown at you! Wreck the economy and steal billions from the working and middle classes - Get bailed out with tax payer money!! Fuck this vile, hypocritical system that rewards, malicious greed, callousness, and sociopathy!!! No wonder people want to feel the Bern!...

  9. Soul? What soul? These plutocrats and their cronies sold their souls to the demon of unfettered greed years ago.

  10. Eisenhower was a good president. If the Rethugs went back to being like-Ike Republicans, I'd vote for them again. Of course I don't see that happening for 'quite' a while... if ever... Ronnie the stupid and the cretins of the neoliberal movement (aka: M Friedman) led them on the path to becoming the insane nutjobs they are today!! DX Also, they turned the Dems into useless corporate sellouts!! DX A plutocratic coup de tat!!....

  11. I love FDR's speeches. So empowering... He had the moxie to call out plutocrats for what they are... a bunch of crooks! Reagan on the other hand was a 'yes man'. who made his moves whenever the plutocrats told him too. One had balls... The other was a sellout!
    19
  12. It can't happen here?... YES!! It can!!...

  13. Good on these protestors. Tracked the cancer in this country to its source!! To hell with Heritage! Rotten lying con-artists! They go on all the time about how much they are worried about the debt then, what to continuing funnel billions to our over-bloated military. Flaming hypocrites! (But then they are a neo-con think tank, so what do we expect?) All I can say is... so much for Trump's promise/lie about ending the useless wars... (Scoff) Like I ever believed it...
    17
  14. I always love me some FDR :)
    17
  15. And I thought the John Birch Society was bad!? Jesus!
    16
  16. MLK was a Republican. - That is a fact. MLK's polices were the exact opposite of today's hyper-neoliberal teabagger GOP - That is also a fact.
    15
  17. The neoliberal pundits, can put a sock in it!! There's literally dozens of reasons why we want Bernie over Hillary.
    15
  18. I hope your right Thom... I 'really' hope your right!
    15
  19. This is the main problem with American economic Libertarianianism. It's not as much the system of hyper laizze-faire, in its purist structures, that is dangerous, but the strong embracement social darwinism that goes along with it. 'That's' what sends up the warning flags!
    14
  20. One is a standard corrupt neoliberal... but with cankles XD! The other channels two of our best presidents, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR!
    13
  21. Finally Ike would be horrified and disgusted, at what the GOP has turned into today. :( The revenge of those stupid Texas millionaires, he insulted in that letter to his brother. DX
    13
  22. Becuase they're flaming hypocrites when it comes to this issue. And have been since the lying, senile crook in the 80's!
    13
  23. When they say 'small government' what they really mean is small government for us and a massive bloated big government for themselves.
    13
  24. Ike was a great President... And hated by the Corporate Fascist Birchers, which makes him even more on the right side of history.
    13
  25. The GOP is a lost cause... Reaganism killed it's soul! However, I'd vote for this guy in a heartbeat!
    13
  26. The Raygun Revolution was selfish, arrogance and short sided stupidity! As a millennial born in 87, it pisses me off to no end that so many people fell for and went along with this me-only crap, not caring about it's long term consequences. My mom says it was because so many thought the nukes we're gonna fly any day back then. And thus people thus lived for the moment. Still, that excuse just doesn't absolve it for me.
    13
  27. The GOP establishment is gonna shred this guy! I can already see the nasty ads. Sad, cause we need guys like this, bring back "sane" Eisenhower conservatives. Enough! Of the Neoliberal, Reagan-worshiping, Koch-sucking, Libertard, Teabagger, Corporatist, An-cap crooks and fools that make up the modern day US Right. DX

  28. Capitalism and Democracy 'only' get along when a social democratic government combined with an informed, proactive populace keeps it's worst vices and desires in check. Unfettered laissez-faire Capitalism hates "Anything!!" that gets in the way of it' mindless quest for higher profits. Which includes the social contract and yes democracy itself.
    12
  29. Also, the biggest piece of evidence that disproves supply-side fundamentalist ideology is this... They never shut up about how evil government is. However, if government is supposedly such a evil force that needs to say small. Why do they always give corporate forces a free pass to influence it, yet it's wrong and immoral for anyone else to do so?.... (Ha! I saw this RW bunk was a massive scam as far back as elementary school.)
    12
  30. I've been a content, loner of a guy my entire life. Thus, I can't even comprehend groveling and degrading myself to get in the favor of some supposed "alpha"?!
    12
  31. Ugh!! What a C word... And as a Native American I can say I'd let this teabagger 'have it!' If I had to listen to this garbage!
    12
  32. The Liberals/Progressives are terrible at marketing their ideas... The Corporate Fascists don't have this problem, they're the kings of marketing. And in turn, succeeded in brainwashing so many working/middle-class Americans into supporting their crooked, plutocratic agenda!
    11
  33. My grandmother absolutely loved FDR and hated Reagan with a passion!! She passed away in 1997... And now, as a millennial who went through the embarrassing, crooked Bush years, the false hope of 'bought-off' Pres Obama, The 8 years of assholery of the GOP and Teabaggers and the unleashing of that vile 'Citizens United' SCOTUS decision!!.... I finally understand why my grandmother thought the way she did....
    11
  34. The return of Jim Crow... disgusting!
    11
  35. Wow! Bernie that was an amazing speech!...
    10
  36. We need a constitutional amendment to get money OUT of Washington and deny money as free speech! NOT THIS GARBAGE!!!
    10
  37. 05:50 - 06:19 Imagine being the protege of a high ranking teacher and philosopher. Then to have the awful epiphany that the ideology that they espoused had malicious intent and was downright evil!
    10
  38. Millennials are utterly disgusted with Neoliberalism!! Why do you think we wanted Bernie so badly?!
    9
  39. We need a new Teddy Roosevelt, cause we have a ton of rotten, corrupt, good-for-nothing corporate monopolies that need to be smashed up and dismantled already!!...
    9
  40. Yay! For Bernie :) One the few US politicians I actually respect. I don't worship the guy though.
    9
  41. Moloch?... Yep, that's exactly what I thought of when I heard this insanity. That creepy scene from "Metropolis".
    9
  42. Ha, I'd absolutely fit right in there, as it sounds like Finnish philosophy on society and government is exactly the same as mine.

  43. Ah yes Atlas Shrugged. The only book I've ever read where by the time I got to the midpoint, I wished the so-called protagonists would just get hit by a mack truck already! I just could not empahsise with her souless characters.
    9
  44. And the mudslinging by the plutocrat media offically begins...

  45. "They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution" - George Wallace Strict constitutionalists my foot!!!

  46. What a class act, I wonder If he's the only American senator who doesn't fly 1st class. I never use 1st class. I can handle the few hours of discomfort and also in a case of a crash, your greatest chance of surviving is sitting in the economy seats at the tail of the plane.

  47. Lincoln, Teddy, Ike - The 'good' Republicans. Poppy bush was the last semi 'decent' one.
    8
  48. Also, this story was talked about on the media. The RW media!! I googled the story and found most pages were about left wing protesters attacking the Heritage Foundation, and then defending the think tank. The notorious Neo-conservative 'Heritage' Foundation... as the victim?... YUCK!!!! Excuse me but I gotta go throw up now, what a vile, twisted and perverse thought! DX

  49. Dwight D Eisenhower, one of the best Republican presidents. Unlike that corrupt conman Reagan who "sold the whole damn country" to the interests of the MIC.
    8
  50. Ain't that a no brainer... Progressives got conned in 08. Obama's loyalties have 'always' to the crooks on Wall Street. And yet "morons" in this country still think he's a marxist, socialist, communist.. eh whatever!! (Bangs head against the wall.)
