Worth a shot. I screwed up in not spoiling everything by documenting the lyrics as well as the propaganda (properly depicted as evil) in hopes that FReepers would be open minded and curious enough on the recommendation from a 12 year member.
Oh well.

"The idiots are the looters and they're losers unless men and women better than themselves pick them up out of it and guess what? "
Most of those "idiots" are hired instigators, and they are bussed from one riot to another.
Some of the rioters are the duped who don't realize that the communists instigators already have a planned-out attack on this country, that has been used in many other countries around the world.
Take a serious look at these videos below, because we were told many years ago that they were going to try to do this.
This is the SAME PLAN they're instigating on us here in the United States !
POTUS, Unions & Progressives: Top-Down Bottom-Up, Inside-Out CHAOS! ( 3:24 )2/18/2011 - After the chaos and unrest in Europe, then in the Middle East, just as Glenn Beck predicted,the TOP-DOWN, BOTTOM UP and INSIDE OUT strategy talked about by Van Jones is coming to pass.
Along with Jones' incitement to get liberal progressive to act on his model, there have been stories published and written by Frances Fox Piven,
again, inciting people to get mad at the government, in a sense, inciting unrest and riots, due in part to the economic conditions of our nation.
This is what one would consider a well orchestrated "insurrection" by the mainstream media, unions and even the government.
How will it end?

Glenn Beck Exposes Obama's Fraudulent History and Radicalized Beliefs ( 41:55 )Published on Feb 16, 2014
Obama's supporters love him for the same reason they loved Bill Clinton, not just because he lies, but because he lies to them so well.
They absolutely swoon at the way these guys lie and spin.
I thought Clinton was the most transparently fake and phoney politicians in history in the style of Jimmy Swaggart
but that is the same reason why the Left loved him.
Now we are seeing this with Obama all over again.
Obama blows smoke up the ass of the Left
and they absolutely love him for it.
IF you have time listen to this 37 minute 30 second radio program

Why arent Americans doing more to protest inequality?
Why waste time protesting when you can actually do something (work) about it?
When Reagan fired the ATC, I was carrying two newspaper bags at next to nothing an hour. I don’t seem to remember being offered anything to make up for “inequality”.

Nothing but an out-and-out communist screed from the NYT.
To: LibWhacker
You cannot teach common sense or economics to a Liberal, there is no hope. I actually do not speak to any Liberals unless in a situation like a waiter or store or co-worker that I cannot avoid.
They want Marxism. They think things will be the same if incentives are taken away. They will bring the U.S. to Detroit’s status and not understand why.
Morons. Dangerous Libtards whose naïveté is putting on the brink of bankruptcy.

As Ben points out, welfare and subsidies are at all time highs, maybe not any one program, but all taken together.

To rise up in rebellion they’d have to put down their beer, get off their fat asses, risk their EBT cards and SSI and actually go do something requiring planning, forethought, dedication and, dare I say it, work.

To: muir_redwoods
Mass hunger always plays a key role in leftist uprisings. While foods stamps are wildly successful at buying Democrat votes they also eliminate any motivation to get up off the couch.

For me that’s a huge question.

Those on the bottom of the structure get SNAP, EITC (often 5-10K per year), housing assistance, reduced utility bills, reduced or free phone service, discounted/free childcare many other discounts.
Someone working off and on or part time for a few thousand a year has more disposable income than someone earning 30K.
They don’t revolt because they get the same standard of living or better than someone who works longer and harder for a higher official income and no freebies.

Rise up? What is this, Tsarist Russia?
1)No one is starving
2)They’d rather watch TV, on their smartphones, which they have.

Because they’re too busy on their Smartphones playing games on Facebook, watching movies on their flat screen TV’s and eating food bought with ebit cards that I can’t afford.
