Would you care to explain how defense of Marxism and criticism of capitalism is a mainstream Republican position, or have you given up that ridiculous charade?List of countries where Marxism has worked as advertised:
End of list
Non sequitur, sonny, because no one here has suggested that Marxism has worked as advertised. Give us a list where unregulated capitalism has not devastated the working classes, forcing them ever further into poverty. End of list.
Yeah. So why are you insisting people should study Marx?Jake, what have Marxists accomplished?The far right reactionaries reveal their foolishness.
They don't read! They don't read!! They don't read!!!
As if there was ever any question that they are indeed illiterate about definitions and their historical context.
Marxism and unregulated capitalism have accomplished death and destruction.
You will hear the whole truth.
Did the Pope insist people should study Marx?Would you care to explain how defense of Marxism and criticism of capitalism is a mainstream Republican position, or have you given up that ridiculous charade?Non sequitur, sonny, because no one here has suggested that Marxism has worked as advertised.

You declare my condemnation of marxism is a defense of marxism? Thus when the Pope condemned marxism and unregulated capitalism as evils the Pope was defending marxism?
I'm not ignorant. I just don't buy your nonsense.Are you this ignorant, daveman.
I don't fear the truth. I just wish you'd be honest about the one you believe.A republican never fears the truth, but you apparently do.
If you are an intelligent person, you read Marx as well as Smith, Engels as well as Friedman, the Bible as well as the Quran, Rich Lowery as well as Ed Schultz, Al Franken as well as Rush Limbaugh. You read about Silent Cal Coolidge as well as FDR, about Grover Cleveland as well as LBJ, Ronald Reagan as well as Barak H. Obama.
This is what an educated human does, daveman.

I repeat: "Educated" is not synonymous with "intelligent".

And thank you, Jake, for once again proving your claim of being a Republican is an utter farce.Thank you, daveman, for your posts tonight. For example, did the Pope insist Catholics study capitalism? Your truth is that you hate the truth, that you hate educated democracy, that you hate reasoning republicans, that you hate those who clearly out you as the ignorant, uneducated and unreasoning reactionary that you are. By your demonstration hear, you have clearly proved why education and reasoning and balance is necessary for the modern American. Your type is exactly why McCain lost the election. 25% of America love Palin and your types. The rest of us know your thinking and belief are not what America was founded about or for or needed in the future. Thank you for posting tonight.
Typical leftist response: "If you don't agree with me, you're STUpid! Neener neener!"If you are an intelligent person, you read Marx as well as Smith, Engels as well as Friedman, the Bible as well as the Quran, Rich Lowery as well as Ed Schultz, Al Franken as well as Rush Limbaugh.

Not to worry, daveman: there is no danger of you ever being either.
Yes, body, you are a sophistetette.
Both side has caused the deaths of scores of millions. Unregulated capitalism is no more desirable than communism because both permit the Rule of over the Rule of Law, behind which both hide. Yes, imperialism and colonialism were used by the capitalists to amass fortunes in the third world.
You are the perfect example of one who doesn't read much or if you do read extensively, you read too narrowly.
We are witnessing the social and economic evisceration of the working class, said Rich Lowery (National Review Online). In recent decades, the gap between Americans who complete college and those who dont has become a chasm ---- economically and socially. Generally speaking, the third of Americans with college degrees ---- the so called elites ---- enjoy rising incomes and low unemployment, and theyve embraced traditional values and stable families. But among those without a high school degree, the picture is grim: Unemployment has surpassed 15%, and todays blue-collar workers often earn less than their fathers did.
Worse, this economic pressure makes it harder to marry, and family stability in middle America is crumbling. Even among the moderately educated ---- those with a high school diploma or even some college ---- out of wedlock births have exploded from 13% in 1982. to 44% today. In effect, the creation of a stable family ---- an institution absolutely critical to childrens prospects ---- is increasingly tied to a college education. There is a crisis in the middle, and the brain dead populism of blaming the elites wont save the struggling working classes.

As it appears your position is anti-capitalism or at least not very fond, can it be concluded that you support socialism in all aspects of life in the US?
You have just proved you are a fool and moron. Do you have no idea that Rich Lowery is one of the most eminent conservative writers in America?
Oh, it's fun to smack Jake around with his leftism.If you are an intelligent person, you read Marx as well as Smith, Engels as well as Friedman, the Bible as well as the Quran, Rich Lowery as well as Ed Schultz, Al Franken as well as Rush Limbaugh. You read about Silent Cal Coolidge as well as FDR, about Grover Cleveland as well as LBJ, Ronald Reagan as well as Barak H. Obama.

You are getting an education why intelligence people have jake on ignore.
For all you wannabe 'conservatives', read what a real one has to say.

We are witnessing the “social and economic evisceration” of the working class, said Rich Lowery (National Review Online). In recent decades, the gap between Americans who complete college and those who don’t has become a chasm ---- economically and socially. Generally speaking, the third of Americans with college degrees ---- the so called elites ---- enjoy rising incomes and low unemployment, and they’ve embraced traditional values and stable families. But among those without a high school degree, the picture is grim: Unemployment has surpassed 15%, and today’s blue-collar workers often earn less than their fathers did.
Worse, “this economic pressure makes it harder to marry,” and family stability in middle America is crumbling. Even among the “moderately educated” ---- those with a high school diploma or even some college ---- out of wedlock births have “exploded” from 13% in 1982. to 44% today. In effect, the creation of a stable family ---- “an institution absolutely critical to children’s prospects” ---- is increasingly tied to a college education. “There is a crisis in the middle,” and the “brain dead populism” of blaming “the elites” won’t save the struggling working classes.

Is there a point you are wanting to make here? It is the left that "blames the elites" And I thought many of the "working class" (since we want to get into class warfare) was also part of the middle.

Ollie, the right blames the "elites". Go listen to Rush every day and you will hear it. It is a mantra of the right wing. Lowery is saying that the working and middle classes will sink into a mire of uneducated, unwed, unknowing 'poverty stew' of individuals who have no idea how to be American or how to succeed in American society. He is so correct when he says the brain dead populism of blaming the elites wont save the struggling working classes. Either our kids and our grand kids and their kids get their educations, or they will continue to sink to the bottom.
