Reply #269: If fear of the guillotine does not prompt so-called moderate liberals -

[RaleighNCDUer]

who are in fact neither - to stop promoting RW republican policies, then the result WILL be the guillotine.

Nobody really wants a Reign of Terror - but you can only play the class war game so long before those on the bottom end really do rise up. In every instance you mentioned there was a rich, powerful top class, and a vast marginalized bottom who wanted nothing more than safety and security. The reason there was no second Civil War here in the 30s was because FDR's policies cut the legs out from under both the fascists and the communists.

I, for one, don't want to see that. There are too many million of Americans with too many millions of gun. Such a political collapse would make the last civil war look like a barroom brawl.

The left - the REAL left, not the "moderate liberals" have been right on every social and political issue in the history of this country, from ending slavery to the emancipation of women to strong unions strengthening the economy to civil rights. Why would they now be on the wrong side IRT gay rights, winding down the military adventures, saving social security from Wall Street predation, health care reform rather than health insurance mandates, and so many other issues the corporatist, er, moderate liberals say are impossible?

We are NOT hurt by the words - we are hurt, on a daily basis, by the policies that spawned those words.

Wake up.
