And let me repeat: “all men are created equal” means no recognition of any class system (i.e., classless).

So then, why would we need Mike Huckabee to ‘fight for a classless society’ if we already have one?

What policies and positions do you think Mike Huckabee would champion in order to bring about to preserve a ‘classless society’?

With all your rantings about Megastockholders and Megacorporations and then going on about ‘fighting for a classless society’ I wondered how this would be different than the many others in the last century who ‘fought for a classless society’ by nationalizing the means of production and abolishing private property.

And when confronted with ‘classless society’ being a DIRECT quote from Karl Marx you said that was not the case (it is) and tried to claim it was a quote from Lincoln or Jefferson (it isn’t).

Do you admit that
a) Karl Marx wrote that phrase ‘classless society’ hundreds of times; and

b) Lincoln or Jefferson never actually used that particular phrase and neither did they mean or believe in what most people who use that particular phrase mean or believe (i.e. instituting Communism)?

You keep going on about how Jefferson or Lincoln believed all men are created equal, and attempting to conflate that belief with them actually saying that there was a need in the U.S.A. to ‘fight for a classless society’.

It is despicable to besmirch these two men by trying to pass off Communist rhetoric as an actual quote (your first attempt) or as something implicit in their beliefs (your backup strategy). And now you say it is Rush Limbaugh who lacks intelligence? That is almost funny.
