What will America look like without a middle class?

So you would rather align with the party that supported the Soviets during the height of the Cold War??

Kennedy was a Democrat. Truman was a Democrat.

are you saying these men were not sufficiently anti-Communist?

 

[Bassman]

Kennedy was a Democrat. Truman was a Democrat.

But again, that was the Democrat party of old before the 60s radicals started to push the party far to the Left.

 

[Paschendale]

You know, this scenario reminds me a lot of France in the 1790's... And, actually, what we're doing now kinda parallels the events that led up to that era...

Thank you for pointing out the single most colossial failure of the Democrat party. Without this massive power grab, we would not be in the financial hole we're in now!

LBJ is certainly clueless.

u said the Great Society was the result of extremist leftists.

Yes I do. He was far more Liberal than Kennedy.

A good high school Government text book will tell you that a bill must first pass both houses of Congress before it becomes available for a presidential veto.

The president said he would veto it

and the GOP is becoming the party of racists, bigots, fools, and demagogues.

No that would be the democrats

 

[atrasicarius]

I find it kind of scary that a lot of people have moved so far to the right, the Democrats look like communists to them.

I'm getting kind of sick of saying this, man. I am an actual socialist. The Democrats are farther to the right of me than the Republicans are to the right of them.

Not much. The communists said they would take over the United States from the inside and they are

It's pretty sad when you believe your own propaganda.

That's not what's scary. What's scary is perpetuating the status quo, by thinking Democrats or Republicans will solve our problems.

Compared to our moderate sellout politicians and the ignorant sheep that place faith in them, anything different enough for them refer to as "extreme" is something different enough to have a chance at working. Our current mixed economic system and corrupt two party political has no chance.

Communists? No... socialists... marxists... yes, some of them are. And both have polarized - it's not just the right moving right, it's the left moving left. So much for Mr. Obama bringing people together - that's not working out so well here at home or abroad is it....

Many Marxist policies have become standard among most Americans: social security, welfare, progressive income tax, etc. Of course that's Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are just a little moreso, and Republicans only talk about decreasing these things, never about totally eliminating them.

I'm both saddened and shocked that even now, people are still partisan.

Funny thing is communists are in many place like unions.

I was very active in a union for 34 years and even held elected positions of responsibility. Sorry, but in my union of over 10,000 members, I never met one communist.

Sorry to interject a dose of reality into your belief system.

You know nothing of union history

Communist Party USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the first half of the 20th century, the CPUSA was the largest and most influential communist party in the United States. It played a very prominent role in the U.S. labor movement from the 1920s through the 1940s, having a major hand in founding most of the country's first industrial unions (which would later expel communists by adopting the Smith Act) while also becoming known for opposing racism and fighting for integration in workplaces and communities during the height of the Jim Crow period of U.S. racial segregation. Historian Ellen Schrecker concludes that decades of recent scholarship[2] offers a "nuanced portrayal of the party as both a Stalinist sect tied to a vicious regime and the most dynamic organization within the American Left during the 1930s and '40s"
