27. Notice, I put the word in quotes,
Basic understanding of written English, learn it, love it, live by it. Don't try to make things I write out to be otherwise, got it?

Your little hit piece not only gets its history wrong. Not only were large parts of our "mechanism" built before WWII(ie the New Deal), but the writer seems to want to neglect the simple fact that Democrats have had a large part in dismantling it.

Further, the writer's advice to left about fighting is simply flat out wrong. Most of the best domestic Democratic legislation was pushed by presidents who went out and fought. Were you obstructing LBJ? He would go out into your district, your state, your home town and beat you about the head and shoulders, and guess what, he used that tactic not only to break a filibuster, but to pass the Great Society.

This is simply another hit piece on the left, and you know it. The fact that you are posting it here tells a lot about you and your character, none of it good.
