Re: Why the Russian revolution of 1917
I've said the above to say that the aspirations of Obama and the Democratic Party to redistribute the earnings of the affluent to the poor, so many who are non-productive, will change America forever, as the man promises.
The primary source of wealth redistribution in America, currently, is one of redistribution from the poor and middle class to the rich. While labor productivity has risen almost 50% in the past four decades, wages for all but the top 3% of Americans, adjusted for inflation, have remained stable.
That means that essentially all of the productivity gains of the American worker since 1970 have been redistributed to the very wealthy, whose productivity has not increased by any measurable extent.
I was born in Nebraska in 1935 in the midst of both severe drout and depression. Nobody starved.
It's widely agreed on by sociologists that as many as 200,000 people may have died as a result of privation and malnutrition during the Great Depression.

Re: Buzsaw Predictions/1908
Can you explain how the ACA represents "socialized medicine"? Please be specific. Since when is private health insurance "socialism"?
One of the first things he did after taking office was to stop the production of what was to be the worlds most effective strategic bomber
We already had the world's most effective strategic bomber. Our strategic bombing capacities were so far ahead of anyone else's we haven't had to use them in two decades. What could possibly be the point of spending all that money on even better strategic bombing capability? I thought you were concerned about the deficit.
We will go with these for now.
It's too bad you couldn't present anything but lies and paranoia.

Re: Buzsaw Claims No Prophecy Gift
His extensive czarist regime appointees
You do understand that Obama has less "czars" than Bush did, right? And that "czar" doesn't actually mean czar, it's just a media title for a certain kind of executive appointment?
put in place to extend his powers above the other two branches of government and to in many cases circumvent Congress, match the radical associates of his past.
If Obama can "circumvent Congress" why don't we have public option health care? How did cap-and-trade not pass if Obama can "circumvent Congress"?
You know even less about politics than you do about science. Where do you get this stuff? Tea parties?
It is the trend which appears to be on track for his aspirations.
"Trends." "Aspirations." So, no real evidence then.

Re: Buzsaw Claims No Prophecy Gift
If some of you sheeple would tune in to him more often you might get your own biased thinking enlightened.
I listened to his radio show for about two years. Am I qualified to tell you, now, that it was a steady stream of Limbaughian lies and goofy tinfoil hat conspiracy theories?
