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.

Yes, I read them. As I said the term ‘classless society’ doesn’t appear. That terminology is from Communist ideology. You throw the names of our founding fathers around like buzz words but neither Jefferson or Lincoln talked about fighting for a classless society.

That was Karl Marx talking about Communists fighting for a ‘classless society’.

And you talking about Mike Huckabee fighting for a ‘classless society’.

That snake oil don’t sell here. We like the classless society we already have and dont think we need the proletariat or Mike Huckabee to change it. And you besmirch the reputations of great Americans when you put the words of Communist ideology in their mouths. Your post #40 was a disgrace. Sell Socialism under your own banner, lets not try to dress it up as the words or intent of Lincoln, Jefferson or Madison.
