      <![CDATA[break my argument don’t deflect  my argument by accusing me of being a conduit for the right ..I prefer to be known as a individual patriot rather than having political affiliation ...i guess if you really wanted to label me…I might even be one of the last bourbon democrats in existence. Liberalism in its classic definition , rather than it evolution into its contradiction.

      <![CDATA[Read between the nonsense of gannamede and bacchus209's comments and you can see the wealthy elite's (through their proxies in the GOP) strategy at work: Take the bottom 98% of earners and try to divide us using fear, hatred and hot-button issues like abortion, gay marriage, immigration, climate change, etc. <br>
<br>
Americans will be so busy pointlessly fighting each other that we'll hardly raise a fuss as Wall Street picks our pockets. And for added measure, the wealthy elite also like to throw in foreign wars to create division and distraction (and yes, Obama is guilty of this as well).

      <![CDATA[Oh, my god. I read another thoughtful and thought-provoking column in the Independent that makes a tremendous amount of sense, only to scroll down and see precisely the sort of anti-/pseudo-intellectual BS the GOP has been foisting on us for years.
