Full search of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Nice to read the latter again, it had been awhile, while reading the Constitution is like visiting a good friend. The Gettysburg Address is also a nice read and very very short.

Incidences of the word class: 0

Incidences of the word classless: 0

Now a search of the Communist Manifesto yields the following results.

Incidences of the word class, classless, classes: every other paragraph at least. I kid you not. I lost track trying to count. Easily in the several hundred.

I think you need to reread ANYTHING, except the Communist Manifesto and Mike Huckabee speeches; you've apparently had a bit too much of THAT! ;)

Here is what “class” means, in politics:

1. a social stratum sharing basic economic, political, or cultural characteristics, and having the same social position

2. the system of dividing society; caste.

3. social rank, esp. high rank.

People have come here in order to escape paternalistic, class-based tyrannies. Maybe even Limbaugh’s ancestors. They were aware, based on the Bible, of no one having the right to “lord it over” another, all being sinners at the foot of the cross.

Now, did you read the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address?

Compare and contrast.
