In reply to the discussion: So many of us have been accused on here of wanting a Glorious Revolution. Let's get out with it! [View all]Zalatix
(8,994 posts)First of all, I have not taken many, if any opportunities to trash President Obama. That right there is a bald faced lie. Everyone take notice that this poster will not respond to this with any evidence supporting this bullshit claim that I have routinely trashed Obama.
Second of all, if you think my claims are melodramatic, then:
Do you deny the cost of just about EVERYTHING has been going up, up, and up?
Do you deny that wages have been stagnant?
As for your "incremental steps", how did that work for you in Wisconsin? Hmmm? How is that working for the whole labor rights movement? How are those incremental steps working out for environmental protection laws? How is that working out for banking regulations? How's that whole taxes for the rich thing progressing? Incremental steps? Real revolution my ass. The only REAL REVOLUTION happening now is the Reagan revolution which began in 1980 and is still running roughshod over America. President Obama is putting up a giant speed bump for the Reagan Revolution but it's still working its way over the speed bump. Again, see: Wisconsin and the 2010 election if you want to claim I am wrong. BTW how did the 2010 election go as far as incremental steps are concerned?
40% of working class America's wealth was wiped out in this current mess. FORTY PERCENT. Tel me again about your incremental steps. Right now we have a PLUTONOMY in which 37% of all consumer spending is done by the upper 5% of the population. This economy is rapidly approaching a point where it doesn't even need 95% of the population. Tell us again about your incremental steps!
Your diatribe has all the sophistication of an ostrich sticking its head in the sand saying "it can't be happening, it just can't be happening".
I don't predict the future, I simply read the writing on the wall. And it is obvious that, unlike you, I am very much up on current events. If you had any understanding of current events you would know that the only incremental steps we're taking are steps BACKWARDS.
I await evidence of your claim that I have "taken every opportunity to trash the current POTUS and his policies".
Have a nice day!
