If they can turn back fifty years of bargaining rights

[malaise]

What else can they turn back - voting rights, civil rights, women's rights!
Get up Stand up Stand up for your rights!

[Skidmore]

1. They are actively working on all three.

I keep looking for women to organize and I'll be damned if I can find any movement among our sister Americans that is aimed at the greater American population.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

2. so what do you want to do - off with their heads ?

the democrats are burdened with being the adults in the room should we end that ?:shrug:

[Skidmore]

3. You can be an adult and still not be snookered by the kids.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

4. i agree i am just so tired of it

and we have to remember 50% of the sheeple are below average.

[Skidmore]

5. 50% of the people have been lied to, cheated, stolen from, and propagandized and

by corrupt and greedy upper class and their bought and paid for politicians and media mouthpieces and they are our fellow citizens, most of whom are in exactly the same boat as we are.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

6. and dammit skinner it's time sheeple get added to the dictionary

[madokie]

11. Skating on thin ice

is never a safe thing to do

[KittyWampus]

14. "snookered by kids". You mean outspent on an exponential level, don't you?

Fighting against an overwhelming tide of propaganda on all corporate media outlets?

I am frustrated that the Left, including Unions, haven't managed to properly organize a response and plan to move forward.

But let's be honest.

The opposition the political Left faces isn't a bunch of "kids".

7. Reread what he said

Stand up. Go to the rallies, show solidarity. Peaceful activism. Stand up.


Edited to add: Whether you are in Seattle or Tucson right now, come Saturday, there will be a rally. In Seattle, I know the two places (at least) where they will be held without even looking them up. Greenlake and somewhere near the Space Needle.

8. I think they're shooting for pre Civil War so the southern states can regain slavery.

[AsahinaKimi]

9. Believe it or not ..

I think we might be in for another Civil War someday. It may not be for a few years yet, but all this ground the Republicans are gaining in taking away people's rights, they are preparing for it. It may not involved the same States, but the Right Wing and the Corporations want to rule this country, and at some point, people will stand up and say; "Damn it, enough is enough!"

[malaise]

10. You cannot be a nasty, vicious and murderous neighbor to the world's people,

loot their resources and facilitate and celebrate the destruction of their nations without expecting like minded folks to try the same approach at home. Put simply the chickens have come home to roost.

Of course while you're doing all those evil things you're screaming democracy, freedom and peace.

16. Fox News wants to be there..

Selling tickets, and popcorn. They want to sit back, and bring out their cameras, and bring in a few million Corporate advertisers. It will be their Superbowl.

[deacon]

12. It's tragic. n/t

[madokie]

13. Our second class is officially on the way out

has been for a while but its now a full bore head strong assault

We're screwn, simple as that.
If we don't do something about the fact that half of our congress critters are millionaires nothing by them will be done either

[NorthCarolina]

15. Voting rights have already been severly compromised with unverifiable EVM's.

So you can check that one off the list now.

[wiggs]

17. social security, new deal, medicare, medicaid, funding for the arts,

environmental regulation, early education, college education....etc all threatened.

....who'd have thought we'd have to re-fight all these battles? We're going backwards when the world is moving forward.

But today, from decades of scheming and investment, the RW is poised to destroy programs and institutions that don't serve corporate interests.
