She left that bar job to get her doctorate in primatology and it looks like the pointy-headed people came here. Comments at this website are some of the best I've seen anywhere online. <br /><br /><br />someofpartsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099038587417637635.post-69236459505216350212012-12-25T14:25:41.573-05:002012-12-25T14:25:41.573-05:00To answer Chris Hayes' question, we might sugg...To answer Chris Hayes' question, we might suggest FDR as a possible alternative. Plus on some specific points:<br /><br />- The GOP party platform of 1956 was better on unions and worker rights than Obama has been.<br />- LBJ got the war on poverty started at the federal level and got Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voter Rights Act passed and signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (ratified under Nixon).<br />- Richard Nixon favored a guaranteed minimum income program, which is far beyond anything Obama has even considered in passing.<br />- George Bush was actually less of a threat to civil liberties. (Doubt that? Can you name me a single expansion of executive authority under Bush which Obama has not endorsed - and then in a number of cases expanded?)<br /><br />But here's the real answer: Suppose for the sake of argument that it could be shown by some neutral standard that Obama is the most progressive president at least of recent times.<br /><br />SO FREAKING WHAT? Is that supposed to mean that we should just give up trying for better? Should just STFU? For some, the answer is "Yes."<br /><br />It really is amazing how Chris Hayes can be so insightful in one breath and so bone-crushingly dense in the next.<br /><br />PS: Came here via Blckdgrd.Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774266443353774752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099038587417637635.post-6384539895209363672012-12-25T14:03:27.055-05:002012-12-25T14:03:27.055-05:00They are learning from their little experiment in ...They are learning from their little experiment in Greece.

Our rulers want us to give up control of a lot more of the wealth we've already been paid wages to produce. Our rulers need to discipline the working class. There is bi-partisan support for austerity (for those who have been employed, at ever greater levels of annual productivity). Our ruling class is counting on our apathy, fear and stab in the back, narrow individualism.

I found it interesting that when Moyers asked him if certain things were said as the movie portrayed he answered, No or I don't think so or it could have been or it was a compilation of things said.<br />As I listened to this guy gush over Obama I thought how easy it is to cover and blur events in order to make a point. It's just as easy in real life as it is in fiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
