Yet somehow in America the low class working man typically votes right-wing Republican and sees the left-wing Democrats as “the elected privileged class” (quoting #15).

This means that the hard-working poor American ends up voting for the rich Republican businessmen rulers who screw them over rigidly – and they love them for it. Its absolutely psychotic.

I give to charities all the time. I donate, on average, a full day each week to charities.

Is that not enough for you? How much of my time do you think I should donate?

No one is telling you that you can’t do that.

What we are telling you is you don’t have the right to tell us to do that.

You honestly can’t see the difference?

I thought this was satire at first. It’s actually a great insight in how Libs think. This guy starts from the false premise that Dems base their arguments on facts, when in fact the opposite is true. I figured out 15 years ago that Dems arguements on emotion instead of facts. Everything is about “fairness”. “We have to do this for the children”. “Millions will die if we dont…” Etc. blah, blah.

Then they use their emotional argument to justify harming individuals for the good of the collective. They see all of society as two groups: the elected privileged class and unwashed masses that must be taken care of. They’re completely against individual empowerment, so of course, anyone voting in their own best interests would vote against most Democrats.

Wow, thanks for telling me about myself. Gee, I didn’t know all that stuff about how I think in lies and want to harm all individuals, and how foolish of me to think about trying to help out the poor and downtrodden. Now I see the error of my ways! I must instead dedicate myself to further enriching the elite, whose grand-daddies, the robber barons, enslaved thousands and robbed tens of thousands more!

Now turn off your computers, everyone, and get to work! Mrs. Mellon needs another foot rub & Mr. Scaife needs his #7 yacht polished!

# 21 Greg Allen:

Reagan sure proved this headline true, as I remember that time.

When they polled people about Reagan’s ACTIONS and POLICIES, it was negative.

But Americans still loved the man and conservatives worshipped him — it was a strictly emotional loyalty to the leader.

Readers of Asimov’s Foundation series will recognize what I mean when I say Reagan was like The Mule.

Then # 43 Traaxx burst in and stated anyone who ever voted for a “Progressive/Commie” is as guilty of the murders of millions as “Stalin/Mao/Idi Amin/Pol Pot and Hitler.”

Wow. First, let me just yell “GODWIN!!!” Then let me just stand in awe of the extreme bitterness and add a [Citation Needed], and mention that he forgot to drag in ACORN and SEIU.

I disagree with your assertion. As a confirmed liberal myself I have seen it already starting to happen. In fact, I have known liberals who thought it was a good idea. Those are the ones I consider too far left…

“…And you actually believe the WHO?[...]”

Thus there is a paradox, and we must grasp both ends of the situation.

Or perhaps you can just go on acting like Alec Baldwin in Team America,”THe big corporations..they are corporatey”

And who the hell believes a word from the WHO. Weren’t they who claimed that we needed big pharma to avoid dying a painful death from h1n1?

Poor sheeple!

You are missing the big picture here. These are all local entities, or at worst, state entities. They are not national organizations.

What works at the local level has never, not once, ever worked at the national level without cause more grief and suffering.

Besides, it’s not in the Constitution.

We probably won’t get all the corporate interests out of America. But we could at least get them out of Health Care. Where does it say in the Constitution that any of these corporations are guaranteed a permanent existence? Corporations and businesses have failed all on their own (like Enron). So where does it say they must suffer a “natural” death? Rather than being dissolved in the public interest. The abolition of the business of slavery, should be a sufficient example of the contrary. So when is decent health care going to be treated as a human rights issue? How is it NOT a human rights issue?!

There is no REAL reform taking place in the US Congress. Only a “dinner bell” ringing for the health care lobbyists to come a callin. And ply the politicians with plenty of cash and favors (post term jobs). Congress terms these “money committees”, because they expect to be paid handsomely by the lobbyists of these big corporations, to obfuscate and confuse the issues they’re voting on.

Someone said that the latest US Supreme Court decision will expose the influence of big corporations, lobbying the government. But that’s assuming the new media, heavily controlled by these same corporations, will even bother reporting it. If anything, this decision shows they’re no longer worried too much about the occasional “exposure” they might get, by the media they own or control.

The Supreme Court decision merely gets the politicians off the hook, for accepting lobbyists dollars, over their voters’ interests. They can no longer be accused of violating their oath of office, since Corporations are now, JUST LIKE PEOPLE. Only with more wealth, than the Kings of old.

Welcome to the United Corporations of America.

“Obama’s administration made a tremendous mistake by not immediately branding the economic collapse that we had just had as the Republicans’ Depression, caused by the Bush administration’s ideology of unregulated greed.

It relates to absolute fact and cannot be disputed. Obama has finally realized this and used it in the State of the Union address and at the Question Time event with the House Republicans the next day, an event that has conveniently been ignored by Dvorak Uncensored and interestingly was carried by Fox News until they pulled the plug when it became apparent that Obama was killing them with facts.

The evidence: The unregulated and previously illegal until the Bush administration banking industry practice of credit default swaps, which was essentially gambling on whether or not unqualified home loans for inflated $500,000 houses to people earning $4/hour would be paid off or not with no financial reserves required to be kept in case those loans were not paid off, which almost brought on a world-wide economic collapse.

The run-up in oil prices by unregulated speculators despite dropping demand and increasing supply at the time that did not support a run-up, that destroyed the auto industry and required the bailouts to protect millions of auto industry and related supplier jobs that would have thrown the country into an even worse depression.

If the Republicans have all these ideas on how to fix what even they themselves say is a broken health care system, then where were these ideas during the Bush administration? Why weren’t they brought up then? They had the Presidency and Congress, so why didn’t they even bring up the subject? Even once? “Unregulated greed” again, they just let the unregulated insurance companies with their internal hidden “death panels” deciding whether or not you were worth insuring or keeping on their insurance rolls once you got sick.

And just recently, the US Supreme Court proved they too came be just as much a tool of corporate interests. By changing the rules to benefit the most moneyed interests. Apparently the devaluation of the US currency has the politicos worried. So they’ve cleared the way for big corporations to buy their souls, at the highest price, without the century old limitations getting in the way. What’s next? Will the court decide it’s OK for corporations to deal in human slaves, as payment to political parties. Why not reverse all common decency and human rights, to benefit the rich?

When the US’s own Supreme Court, bows its head to Mammon. Then the end can’t be too far off.
