I was thinking of the populist student protesters from my youth, I also think of the populist Black Power movement and the newer version :Black Lives Matter, Or Ross Perot and his brand of populism or the populist group that swept Obama into power.

Please pardon me for thinking

I know its not popular on FR any more.

If you decide to take it up (thinking) we might have a conversation

Say, that's a pretty good dodge there, do you think those malcontents were who Karl Rove was talking about in his puerile sputtering that this thread is discussing?

Here's a clue: no they weren't.

Or Ross Perot and his brand of populism or the populist group that swept Obama into power.

Here's another clue, Rove wasn't talking about Ross Perot's supporters OR the Obama zombies in 2008 and 2012 either. But you get partial credit for trying to be sly and walk back your comment in post #78 when you initially said:

Show me where populist rage has accomplished something

And you KNOW that you were not talking about student protesters, Black Panthers, Perot supporters or Obama groupies, and you know how I know that?

Because when I responded to you in my post #82, in which I posted a graphic representation of the American Revolution of 1776, YOU responded with your own graphic at your post #104, which depicted executions taking place during the French Revolution (1787-1799 when you said "and here, not so good" suggesting that 'populist rage' didn't always turn out so well, so based on THAT post you made, the last thing on your mind was any group of student protesters, Black Panthers, etc.

Please pardon me for thinking

You were thinking too hard, trying to figure out how to explain away your previous posts in this thread. Guess what? It didn't work.

Don't kid yourself and don't try playing the victim here, FReepers are thinking harder and more intently than ever before, and they are seeing the reality of the institutional betrayal from the GOPe establishment and their rigged primary games, plus the political collusion between the 'RATS and RINOs that has manifested itself in what we commonly refer to as the 'UniParty'.

So here is your final clue pal:

"We The People of the United States are MAD AS HELL,
and we're not gonna take it anymore!!"
