I'll take rational progressives & Democrats who support reasonable gun control measures - even if they happen to be rich - because they're rational progressives & Democrats! Look at the top of the page, bucko, and discover the board you're posting on.

25. People are harassed, investigated & arrested for their political beliefs.

Held anonymously without charge, trial, or communication with the outside world.
The President's press secretary says that people should watch what they say, or else - and the press is too afraid to say anything.
People are prevented from traveling freely because they are on a gov't list....

NYPD Infiltrated and Spied on Liberal Groups
Last edited Fri Mar 23, 2012, 04:18 PM USA/ET
The AP (via CBS) notes that undercover cops went to liberal political groups' meetings, building intel files on activists and protesters.
The newswire says that interviews and docs collected during the investigation "show how police have used counterterrorism tactics to monitor even lawful activities."
The AP points out that the NYPD used these same tactics in 2004, when the department monitored church, environmental, and anti-war groups in the U.S., claiming these policies were necessary to prep for the GOP convention...
But these methods continued far after the convention took place: in 2008, the NYPD's super-secret intel department sent an undercover officer to attend the People's Summit in New Orleans. The project report gathered information on two U.S. activists, journalist Jordan Flaherty and labor organizer Marisa Franco, the AP notes....

The "we" you're rooting for - and claim to be part of - isn't the Democratic Party.

You're right, you can't change the truth: Bloomberg is a crypto-fascist, not a rational progressive.
