Will This Economic Crisis Resurrect Communism?
Not communism. War. As Americans haven't seen it since Lincoln.
Do you know the causes of war? Many are already present. The others will arrive by and by.
Taxing the super rich is a class war. Meddling in middle class contractual wage agreements is not a class war.
The Republicans continue to miss the boat on how to "re-define themselves". They continue with the same tired classicism rhetoric that got us into this mess.
Yep all of those GM pensioners are responsible for the financial meltdown of this economy. Let's take their money away driving them into poverty. It is unthinkable that retired auto workers would actually want a roof over their head, health care, and food on the table. How incredibly selfish of those old farts. We all know the attract the "best and the brightest" we need to take the money from retirees and give multi-million dollar bonuses to the golden boys of industry to further reek havoc on our system.
Class War
"There’s class warfare, all right," Mr. Buffett said, "but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning."

Interesting how the Republican Senators from the Honda and BMW states think that by LOWERING someone's wages they can help our economy "recover." But that's the old "Grapes of Wrath" modus operandi, isn't it? When enough folks are out of work, the ownership class can keep lowering wages until people are fighing each other to work for food. And by God, the rich people and the "investing class" would love to do just that, again.
When was the last time members of the House and Senate took a wage and benefits cut?
At some point, Democrats in Congress are going to have to confront Republicans and make them actually filibuster. Or, maybe better yet, completely do away with this situation where 60 votes are now needed to pass any kind of controversial legislation.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
