Republicans have no ideas worth the powder it would take to blow their asses to hell, part of the reason is they don't like government, and believe only the private sector is capable of getting things done because of the profit motive So in affect conservatives don't govern for shit, Your so far off base of what and who the democratic party is all about Let author and historian Thomas Frank tell you what has happened to the Democratic party. Frank is the author of "What's The Matter With Kansas and several other excellent books. His latest is" Listen Liberal" What ever happened to the party of the people He holds a PHD in American history. Most people are unaware Oklahoma once supported the strongest socialist movement ever produced by any state. The Socialist farmers union was founded in 1901 six years before it became a state in 1907. By 1906 inside the unions the large land holders and land lords sought to seize control of leadership from the reformers. They succeeded but at great cost small farmers voted with their feet. By 1907 the number of farmer unions fell from 70,000 to 3,000. From the out side coal mines and merchant banks boycotted the unions cooperative marketing interests. This alienated them from their traditional democratic party and many turned to the socialist party that was just entering the state. During this era dozens of socialist held office in state legislatures. Mayors, governors and in the US congress

It sounds more like the Democratic Party is the party of choice of minorities being discriminated against, don't you think?

Of course, to be oxymoronic is the nature of the liberal since they have taken up residence in opposite land. Thus tyranny is coming under the banner of fairness, equality and the greater good. But the willfully blind imbecilic left is taught through Marxist propaganda that tyranny, total control and oppression comes from the right just because we have some moral standards. They are going to be very surprised if the left is able to grab the reins of total power when there noble idealism of caring goes out the window and they can't even criticize it without being thrown in the gulag.

Always use quote reply rather than reply so people know who you are responding to/

We have become hateful only as we have figured out that you are not just simply misguided but that you are actually EVIL. (And in your demented evilness actually attribute that quality to the conservatives who hold Truth, Honesty & integrity has their prime values) It is the arrogant narcissism of dishonesty, corruption and self-delusion that is the hallmark of leftism that we hate. You liberals (as a generality) hate God, Christianity, the moral standards of Christianity and your own country believing you can devise a better system with Marxism. You are angry malcontents that know everything wrong with America and are working diligently to tear down the moral fabric that is the foundation of America as you call our principles, prejudices. You are all degenerates according to the standards of traditional America and half of you are on illegal drugs and or pharmaceuticals for your mental problems.

There is one (horrifying) theme in Listen Liberal, Thomas Frank's new book . It is that the Democratic Party has betrayed its natural constituency of labor, and is constantly trying (and succeeding) to outrun Republicans by doing more damage to the social structure than Republicans profess, thus stealing their thunder. “It has become Democratic thinking that the common people are at last being treated as they deserve to be.” They do it with “professionals”. Frank has filled this entire book with evidence of this one point.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats ain’t what it used to be, according to Frank. The Democrats have decided to put all their eggs in one basket: professionals. They staff their offices with them, just like the Republicans use only lawyers from the Federalist Society. Their backers are Wall Streeters, because the Democrats are at least as generous to Wall Street as the Republicans when in power. For the wealthy, it’s a win-win. Doesn’t matter who gets in. So while Republicans consider their base the uneducated, bootstrap entrepreneurs who create jobs, the Democrats consider their base the highly educated, networked professionals who create jobs. Two sides of the same coin. And neither one can be bothered with the rest of the population except when vote-gathering. Then, for a brief period, it’s all about inequality and jobs.

Frank focuses on the last two Democratic presidents, Clinton and Obama, and the contender – Hillary Clinton. He autopsies their administrations (and Hillary’s part in them) and finds them all the same – mouthing platitudes to gain votes from the electorate, then reverting to type and removing any and all support for them so they can to deliver on promises made to the rich. It was Bill Clinton who dismantled welfare and Glass-Steagle, not either Bush.

I particularly appreciated Frank’s discussion of glass ceilings – in terms of floors. While the Hillary Clintons of the world rail about glass ceilings, it was her Democrat husband president who removed the floor for mothers on welfare, creating extreme poverty where once there was a safety net. While Hillary grandly supports microloans for women (which do not work, other than to create more debtors and richer bankers), when in power, it’s all about supporting the rich at the expense of the poor. Garden variety hypocrisy, but coming from a Democrat, and about Democrats, it’s supposedly shocking.

Frank is overwhelmed by the Democrats’ adoption of professionals. Democrats think professionals can solve any problem, and every position is filled with one. Every event showcases them. Doesn’t matter that they have no real world experience; the fact they are professionals means they are highly educated creatives. That’s all that matters in a Democratic government. So to be disappointed in the Obama Administration is to show yourself as not being a professional.

It wasn’t always so. Frank shows that FDR’s Democratic cabinet had poorly educated secretaries who had street smarts, real life experience, and ideals. They could propose innovative programs that addressed real problems. And if they didn’t work, they had another idea waiting. His VP Harry Truman never went to college. Truman couldn’t even get an interview today. The Democrats’ solution to every problem is go back to school, preferably Harvard, Yale or Stanford, and every door will open for you. All you laborers – you’re fooling yourselves. Get an education and become professionals, because America doesn’t need or want anyone else.

Listen Liberal is a damning, upsetting polemic from a passionate, experienced insider. You might think it would make excellent fodder for a Republican. But it is actually a sad reflection of what has become of the country and its politics. Two sides of the same coin is not healthy. Someone needs to represent the 99%.

How Republicans Took Over America Thomas Frank The Conservative Takeover

We have all been told Mueller is above reproach, stellar reputation, absolute integrity, non-partisan. That is exactly what we were told about Comey. If Mueller were all these things, it wouldn't take a motion to have him recuse himself, he would have recused himself without taking the job in the first place. Mueller seems to be just another Washington insider with ties to the deep state and the establishment

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I do believe he knows it too!!!!' Karma is a biotchhhhhh

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

You got that right!!! Mueller is Comeys only lead in what's going on now... You know not telling Comey anything while telling him everything....

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

Should there be a special investigative committee formed on Mueller, if he doesn't recuse himself?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

If he doesn't recuse himself those who appointed him can recuse him as well...

If they do not force the issue then they cast doubt on themselves just as much..

The question then is will Trey Gowdy seek sanctions against those whom appointed but did nothing and charges against Mueller for obstruction ???

A convoluted mess Mueller has put everyone in!!!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Ohhh yeeesssssss!! Bring it baby, is all I have to say!!

Time to wrap up loose ends, take out the garbage and America First has a head start to some true successes!!!

Susy, another hater heard from. Susy, there are about 150 people working in the White House. Many of them were hired under Obama, some before that. They have been the source of "anonymous" leaks to the media that have fueled fireworks because of their hateful messages about Trump. They have been responsible for seven months of investigation into bogus claims of collusion between Trump and Russia. And having failed at that charge, they moved on to claims of obstruction of justice, hoping to make that one stick. The "leaks" have all been lies, intended to hurt Trump, but they are only hurting democracy. In you demented, hateful mind, you probably think that the leaks are a reaction rather than action. You think that it is reaction to Trumps election win. Well here is the big shocker, Trumps win was not a crime, while the leaks are crimes. That makes them criminal acts, not reactions. These people need to be identified and lose their jobs; and some should do some jail time.
