Every day you can turn on the radio anywhere in America and hear someone angrily riling up people to believe that the government is coming to get them, that they'd better fight before it's too late, that the brown people and the undocumented are destroying the country, that all government aid programs are really intentional theft that is going into liberal's pockets. That's a summary of just a few things I heard Mark Levin say two days ago, but there are literally hundreds of these same type of voices on the radio.

And radio is what tons of working people end up listening to as they commute. I think it must be a contributing factor to all the rage and violence that goes on

keep us distracted from the truth of what is really going on.

Bernie Sanders is committed to busting up the media and banking oligarchies, ending the revolving door, and instituting Publicly Funded Elections. This is the ONLY things we should be talking about and fighting for! Fixing these things will solve most of our problems because it would return Representative Democracy and stop the ability of the Plutocrats and corporations from controlling us! No other politician has been as clear on doing this and we probably won't see another for a long time. That is why getting Bernie elected and having millions of committed Americans at his back demanding these things is so important. If we don't stop corporate control soon, climate change will be the death of us all!

I know, sounds to crazy for some, but it is the truth. Corporations control almost all aspects of our Democracy and they will never address climate change in any realistic manner. Bernie is dead right when he says it will take a political revolution to accomplish this, but it can be done if enough people realize what is going on and commit to doing something about it.

Thu Jul 23, 2015, 01:14 AM
Jul 2015

The levels of bitter resentment and anger that consumes conservatives is beyond me. I just found this quote on a conservative Christian website

"Anger can become sinful when it is motivated by pride (James 1:20), when it is unproductive and thus distorts God’s purposes (1 Corinthians 10:31), or when anger is allowed to linger (Ephesians 4:26-27). One obvious sign that anger has turned to sin is when, instead of attacking the problem at hand, we attack the wrongdoer. Ephesians 4:15-19 says we are to speak the truth in love and use our words to build others up, not allow rotten or destructive words to pour from our lips. Unfortunately, this poisonous speech is a common characteristic of fallen man (Romans 3:13-14).

The conservative Christian is supposed to be free of anger and is supposed to love. Yet, all that I see in Savage is bitter and angry resentment because he feels that white people are losing control of the nation and that the country no longer will have an ethnic pure Caucasian majority.

Mr. Savage and his ilk need to learn the concept of letting go and accepting the new normal. Unfortunately, his ilk will continue to spew anger, rage, and bitterness on the airwaves until they go to the grave.

Thu Jul 23, 2015, 07:03 AM
Jul 2015
http://www.wnd.com/2015/07/trump-earns-michael-savages-acclaim/

Savage "argued that the State Department had “sold America down the river to Iran,” a reference to the recent deal allowing Iran to escape international economic sanctions in exchange for downscaling its nuclear program falls."

Savage "took on “trade treason” (TPP) in a broadcast."

Right-wing radio host Michael Savage, furious at the encyclical (on the environment), called the Pope "an eco-wolf in pope's clothing" and "a stealth Marxist in religious garb," claiming that Francis will put Catholics "in chains" and is reminiscent of "the false prophet in Revelation, an ecumenical spiritual figure directing mankind to worship the Antichrist."

“What will hurt America more? Good relations with Cuba — or Iraq?” asks talk radio host Michael Savage.

This guy is a regular fountain of right-wing 'wisdom'.

Jul 2015

Adminstering them would be awful.... Establishing eligilibity difficult, and they would be hugely expensive and divisive. Also, I consider them to be a pretty ineffective way to facilitate social and economic change. I would rather see money put against job training and government funded infrastructure and jobs programs. I think these programs should be targeted at AA communities, and also some traditionally deeply impoverished areas, like Appalachia, but with a definite eye toward traditionally disadvantaged AA communities.

I haven't really heard of a reparations plan that inthought was worth anything, or practical.

Once that box is open there will be no closing it again. There will be no end to people claiming that they deserve reparations because someone now dead did something to their ancestors. I understand the reasoning behind why some progressives want to try and make certain amends for slavery. It's a noble idea, but one that would be disastrous in practice. Are the Irish going to be given something for their ancestor's suffering? Are the Italians? What about the Native Americans? Are the Japanese Americans? Will Mexican Americans? You see, where does it ever stop? It's a bad, bad idea to open this box...

56. So, he would "go to jail" for a penny and "die" for a dime.

Would he get a severe headache for a nickel? Ingrown toenail for 7 cents? Kidney stone for 8 cents? Hemorrhoids for 4 cents?

Brave, dedicated to the cause, guy.

“No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.”
– Attributed to General George Patton Jr

Except that guy actually stood up for his country, vs Weiner, who prefers the Donald Trump school of bravery.

He is a propagandist. And the crap he spews sinks in with a percentage of his listeners.

Lying on-air should be against the law. Starting with Savage and Fox News.

With the large black population in the Southern states, reparations would amount to a multi-trillion dollar transfer to the states of the Old Confederacy. I love pointing that out to my fellow Southerners and seeing there racist brains get tied up in knots.

Thu Jul 23, 2015, 05:54 PM

They have wild imaginations. They are just looking for a reason to be angry and communicate threats in every direction. Usually, those are the biggest wimps around too.

I'm still waiting for that Texas preacher to set himself on fire. The coward backed out and said he didn't mean it after gay marriage was legalized. Before that, he was threatening (promising) to set himself on fire if it was legalized.

All of these types talk a big game, but push comes to shove and they are the biggest wimps around and will outright hide. And they certainly would never put themselves in danger, hurt themselves, or die for anything.

Affirmative Action and Welfare will be ended by Reparations. The plan for Reconstruction was for the freed slaves to have their own land, communities and rule. For themselves, not anyone else. Nothing to fear there.

White Americans have their own. They don't have to fall for demagogues. Do what is equal, what is fair, and be done with it.

As for those who rave against the Minimum Wage increase, I won over a Teabagger with the argument that it ends Welfare, Food Stamps and Medicare. Because with a good wage, one doesn't need to go to the government and beg for what their wages should pay for.

I ended up with, "Do you think low wage workers want this hassle? Don't you think they'd rather pick their own food at the store and pay for their own medical care of choice? Not live at the behest of the state??" That sealed it for that bagger.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/03/05/1282352/-Minimum-wage-hike-would-cut-food-stamp-costs-beyond-Republicans-dreams

This is conservatives in America prolonging what they say they don't like by fighting what they consider wild-eyed liberal plans. Liberals and progressive are about good governance and freedom, which all could enjoy more of and more peace by just letting people be to live their lives. Everytime the oppressed are denied independence by proper payment, it creates more government intrusion in their lives and that of others.

JMHO.

..without ever implementing reparations, taking all their guns, instituting Sharia Law federally or the other predictions they have been railing on and on about on hate radio?

Will they admit they were wrong?


Naw, who are we kidding....they'll just do a quick bait and switch...look over here, evil Hillary (but hopefully Bernie), she will force all American men to live under her Women's Lib Femanazi dictatorship! Oh...also take all your guns.
