Why does the right want to sell us into slavery?

Really.

That's all I could find in 3 minutes.

LOL +1

That point should not have required proof, but good job.

EDIT: I should also pre-emptively admit that those of us on the right also suffer from that same tendency, the desire to use the armed might of government to force others to behave in ways we find acceptable.

And you had to go back to 2007 to find them. Hardly tripping over by any sense of the imagination.

Hell, we have two Birther Troll threads on the front page, along with a couple of other quaint right wing attacks on common sense, and you're dumb enough to call out the Mods over this thread?

Hey now! Its not a troll if you really believe Obama was born in Kenya.

Hey, it's not my fault someone bumped the thread recently. And you might also note the date the OP was edited.

Until I find a more recent example, I suggest you amend your previous post to "More bullshit, at least since 2007."

You can suggest it Fundie Fred but it's not going to happen because what you said was full of shit.

P.S. Fundie Fred?

If you have to search for it then obviously you're not tripping over it. God you're as big a lunatic as "We the People":thumbsdown:

Uh, I searched for it because I wanted to show good evidence. You know, like who said it, in what topic, and when.

I made an assertion, you challenged it, and I backed it up. What's so lunatic-like about that?

Bullshit

You can't hardly take a walk in this forum without tripping over leftists complaining that too many people drive SUVs (because they happen to like them).

Gonna try this one more time.

I then quoted from a thread created in 2007. It was updated on 4/4/2011, putting it on the front page. I tripped over it. Other people did too, because they added posts to it.

Where exactly did I go wrong?

Search the Redbed dudes post, pretty sure I've seen him rail on more than a couple times about them recently.

If you think that gas prices have been increasing lately, it's not your imagination. $3/gallon used to be reserved for the summertime, but it's already here in December and it could get even higher before the year is out. Perhaps we'll cross the $4/gallon barrier this summer.

Higher gas prices should worsen an already awful U.S. economy and job market.

Gas Prices on Track for Unseasonable Spike

(Aren't you glad you bought that economy car now and not that big gas guzzling SUV you wanted?)

Here not everyone needs a huge car, and roads, parking places for you car, houses, everything is smaller. There are old towns where you can barely pass through with a small car.
They had to ban SUVs from a village because they would get stuck all the time in the small roads.

Here if you're a fat american woman you can't exit your SUV.

We still manage to survive, americans just need to avoid buying trucks and suvs if they don't need them, it's that simple.

By stating that it was common place, it wasn't, it was 1 thread. I'm not saying that it doesn't occasionally pop up but it isn't something that permeates this forum. To listen to your blather one would think that they'd come across it on a regular basis which isn't even remotely true thus your comment was pure unadulterated bullshit.

I challenge your assertion.

Was it really bullshit?

Can you prove that it actually consisted of feces from a bull, and moreover, unadulterated feces from a bull?

Existence of a middle class is an inefficiency that needs to be optimized out of the system as far as banana republicans are concerned. A middle class to them implies someone got paid more than sustenance level wages. To the GOP, that is money that could have been better used as dividend to the wealthy or a bonus to the executives in the private sector, or as taxcut to the wealthy by stamping out middle class wages out of the public sector. There is simply no room for middle class to exist except as a temporary inconvenience.

You really are clueless, either that or you're trying really hard to pretend your democrat masters are any different.

Pretty much sums it up.

No doubt a lot of Democrats have been co opted by banana Republican talking points and ideas, just like you have. But if you think the vanishing American middle class and growing class divide is just an accident and not a result of those ideas applied to policy, you are the clueless one.

And exactly what policies are you referring to and who's to blame? Please be specific.

Free trade, tax cuts for the wealthy, removal of social safety nets, union busting. All designed to increase leverage for the wealthy and reduce it for the middle class, with predictable results.

They seem to be working harder and harder each year to turn this country into a land of corporate slaves. They want to end unions, and take away all of the workers right. If republicans had their way we would all be chained to factory machines working as slaves.

So far, I haven't seen any of this. I've been on the planet a while.

You are free to continue pretending that middle class decline over the last 30 years is purely coincidental to the policies pursued by Republicans (and some co opted "moderate" Democrats) during those years. Just don't be surprised when the trend continues going forward.
