...Why is it that people who should know better -- adults, I’m talking about, not the kids being indoctrinated on college campuses by tenured Communists and former terrorists -- are falling for Obama’s call for class warfare? Why are so many Americans so eager to accept that corporations are the enemy when corporations not only provide employment, but pay dividends to tens of millions of middle-class Americans either directly or through their pension funds? Why are the same folks who are waging war on corporate America so reluctant to utter even an unkind word about Islamic terrorism?...

No kidding! I don’t understand it either. It’s beyond frustrating. I think some of it may be that they believe it really is a vast right-wing conspiracy.

I tried to explain Obama’s voting record in the Illinois Senate on abortion to my father-in-law last night. He’s a die-hard Democrat, has been all his life. His parents were Colorado wheat farmers. He dismissed the infanticide charges as propoganda made up by Republicans. It didn’t matter what evidence I showed him, he dismissed it as manufactured evidence.

You can’t reason with people like that.

Hopefully his mental retardation didn’t extend to his daughter.

I know several university professors and they are all in the tank for BO.
They consider themselves members of an “oppressed class” because they would make far more money in the private sector. Of course, they work in “public service” because they detest big evil corporations.
They really believe that BO will give them a tax break because they make less than $250,000/year.
I consider them pampered elitists who never seem to have an original idea.

Having been bred in the bone as Democrats. There was once conservative Democrats. No more. Progressive is the catch word. Implying progress is toward a better way. Wrong. Couldn't be more wrong. Go back and re-read Brave New World and/or 1984. Orwell wasn't off by much. It is right on track for the long term subverting of our system.

They attack at legitimate cracks in our system (on fast forward during the Bush terms); and Clinton's etc..
There are always weak points. Abortion advancement, one world trade, government expansion, homosexual agendas, we hardly mention AIDS anymore. The difference ... we (Republicans) do not attack, rather we aim at correcting what does not work well. Change that works is what is desired. Democrats pull no below the belt punches. They seek total power.

Yeah, my Mom the “yellow dog” Dem still thought she was voting for Roosevelt. She refused to believe anything you told her about the Dem “progressive” agenda.

Lenin’s term for them was “useful idiots.” They’re useful because they’ll support and finance the revolution; they’re idiots because once the revolution takes place, they’ll be the first ones to be lined up and shot.

No, you can’t. They’ve been deceived. My youngest son is the same way. I can’t believe how socialistic he’s become. It’s disheartening and it makes me very sad.
