Every time a poor American freezes to death..

A bankster gets his bonus.

The poor should just burn their damn bootstraps if they want to stay warm.

3. This extreme, fringe Lefty got it right.

”Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

---Republican President Dwight Eisenhower

He would be considered an extreme Leftist when measured against today's "New Democrat" party.

5. Thank you for posting this quote

Another arrow for my quiver.

6. Eisenhower

fought WWII. He knew what America stood for. These new so-called patriots, haven't got a clue.

12. Me thinks the direction of BHO's actions is several ions to the right of President Eisenhower

precepts.

13. Rachel agrees with you.

Rachel Maddow: Eisenhower would be Bernie Sanders today!

"For the next hour, we begin with the president of the United States addressing the nation and calling for a massive investment in this country’s infrastructure, rebuffing the idea of giant tax breaks for the richest Americans, and warning anyone who would dare touch Social Security to keep their hands off.

You want to talk about red meat for the base? Listen to some of the language the president used. “Workers have a right to organize into unions and to bargain collectively with their employers. And a strong, free labor movement is an invigorating and necessary part of our industrial society.” Wow.

How about this one? “Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of their right to join the union of their choice.”

Listen to the way he goes after the right here. “Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things, but their number is negligible and”–and the president says–”their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

That is not what Barack Obama said last night. That is way to the left of any national Democrat at this point. That was all Republican President Dwight David Eisenhower. That was all the stuff he said when he was president."

9. Just start more wars to kill more poor people elsewhere.

11. Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war...

Steve Earle.

[dflprincess]

20. Another difference between Eisenhower and recent presidents

Even as he planned the invasion of Europe he never forgot what the human cost would be.

Now we have leaders that either start or continue unwinnable wars for the benefit of war profiteers. The lives they destroy while doing so are never given a thought. And yes, I include Obama in that.

23. welcome to economic fascism. corporate welfare for the rich, brutal "austerity" for the poor.

all of this has been a republican/neoliberal wet dream for decades (and practiced in the third world countries); now, it is finally becoming a reality and coming home to America.

bye bye New Deal, hello Raw Deal.
