Teahadists of the Filthy Far Right or Anti-Godists of the Loony Far Left

"Teahadists of the Filthy Far Right or Anti-Godists of the Loony Far Left"

Hmm... the Teahadists of the Filthy Far Right want to compel a woman to give birth against her will, they want to criminalize homosexual acts and deny gay Americans their right to due process and equal protection of the law, they want to conjoin church and state in violation of the First Amendment, and they seek to codify religious dogma into secular law in violation of the Establishment Clause.

As opposed to the Anti-Godists of the Loony Far Left who recognize the privacy rights of women, who recognize the right of gay Americans to due process and equal protection of the law, who respect the Framers' mandate that church and state remain separate, and who follow Establishment Clause jurisprudence which prohibits seeking to codify religious dogma into secular law.

Cleary the Anti-Godists of the Loony Far Left have the better understanding of, and respect for, the meaning of our Constitutional Republic, the intent of the Framing Generation, and the rule of law.

See if you can spot when the New BS GOP took over the economy, Pub dupe. Um 1981 DUH.

Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Mainly because ACTUALLY they're centrist moderates. Only godless far left in the eyes of brainwashed RW functional morons. Who support 95% PLUS of wealth going to the 1%. Absolute un-American idiocy.

Interesting about the resistance to this. It should have been easy. I also like the black and white: "here are the candidates you must support if you are not reactionary." It is amazing that people like Jake do not see how extreme THEY actually are. Saying you do not support any of the current crop of Jake approved candidates is treated like sacrilege. He did, however say that libertarians do not get a vote. Why is that Jake? Do you view libertarians as to far right or reactionaries?

The bolded above is exactly what you do, FA. Got to be your way or hit the highway for your hard heads. I said I could support Bush or Rubio or Kasich, and Mac ran over, typical crazy, and shit in the corner. Just like you are doing. I don't deal with libertarians, because they are not really into American values.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Only an anti-Godist would pretend that "follow Establishment Clause jurisprudence . . . prohibits . . . codify religious dogma into secular law." The clause says that the national government would not establish a state church.

Only anti-American anti-Godists would suggest the Christian and deist Founders would believe that their religious values would be banned from policy making.

Only anti-Godist fool would think that.

And where do I do what you claim Mr. Unsupported accusations?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Holy shit, Jake....Mac is not a conservative. He's a passive aggressive ninny.....but he's to the left of every GOP candidate. How can you not know this?

 

[LoneLaugher]

What a fucking weird thread.

It is funny to watch far left drones think they are not far left..

They really believe that they are moderates..

And further proof that the far left should be pushed out of power..

You know, when the left gets 'pushed out of power' we have things like the Bush years - one of the worst things to ever happen for the GOP. Kind of like when the right gets pushed out of power - there have bees swings from left to right that have lost MASSIVE governmental positions for the left. There is no one to blame things on when the other party disappears.

If the GOP "disappears" it will be entirely self inflicted. The Dems are not not a part of the internal destruction happening on the right.

The greatest threat to the American republic is low information idiots who post junk polls like this.

You are reading that wrong. I am not talking about disappearing as in ended, just that they lose so many seats that the other party wields total control. Yes, it will be all on them just as it was when they lost power during the Bush years and just like the dems lost so much during the Obama years.
