Can We Have An Open Honest Discussion About Progressives, Civil Rights, And Income Inequality ???


In the movie 'All The President's Men' we were taught to.... "follow the money"...

Good advice for the last 40 or so years...

And yet here at DU...

Many people SEEM to value Civil Rights over Economic Rights... Income Inequality...

I believe that is a FALSE CHOICE.

Yet what it does do is the divide and conquer.

From George Carlin:

Now, to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country. It's our differences. That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about--the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the ****ing money! Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different--that's what they're gonna talk about--race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank! You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those jobs.

IT IS THE MONEY... IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MONEY...

It has rarely been about anyone's civil rights...

The good news.... is that you fix income inequality... you make people happy...

And happy people tend to live more in harmony.

Same old song and DUmmie dance.

The DUmbass is saying that as long as it gets all the handouts and freebies it wants then it doesn`t care who gets crushed in the process.

Finally an open honest discussion about what leftism always amounts to.

That might be a bit more open and honest than the DUmmie was looking for.

It's not about the money. It IS about the power. It IS all about getting the power by using stupid people, Lenin called them useful idiots. Since self awareness is mighty woeful in a DUchebag, you are the useful idiots.

You know what's funny? The quote from George Carlin the DUmbass uses to prove their point actually shows just what the progressives, liberals and Democrats have been doing since the 60's. They're just too stupid to see this fact.
