@veksink In his defense, the GOP made unprecedented use of the filibuster on almost every single bill so that put a spanner in the works, but he watered down every bit of legislation anyway.

After WW2 we also had the largest government program in history (until that point): The GI bill. It provided millions of dollars for returning soldiers to go to college, buy a house, or start a business. It was a Keynesian policy and is largely responsible for the post war boom.

What is more surprising is the fact that Asho even knows who Mozart is.

@fitzhenry900 lol, obama has compromised at every turn. I wish he was as liberal as you think he is. He isn't.

Serious question right, does anyone on the left wish that some of the shit the right wing says was actually true? Or maybe i'd be happier if I believed what they said because ignorance is bliss.

The Ghetto revolution will not be televised

@DJWEBSTAR914 As for the Iranian death toll in the Iraq war, that is easy to look up, demographic info is easy to find too (Iran is very young), Hitchens talks about the west-orientated people in Iran on vids on youtube, and look up Husain Khomeini.

In my opinion the confederate flag is on the same level as the Nazi swastika. The confederate states stood for racial supremacy, slavery, and fundamentalism, very like Nazi Germany.

cocaine is a hell of a drug

lol so this is what the democratic process looks like? put your name on the ballot and then if we like your vote it counts but if we don't you can go fuck yourself.

My favorite moment in this absolutely amazing example of Hitchens is at like 18:06 when he says "answer the question Mr. Metzger for a change" in such a condescending tone, makes me laugh so much. RIP, great man, great mind.

lol this is an old video but the verse about tattoos occurs in the same book as the laws against homosexuality... which also happens to occur only once in the same book....

@anniemossct negligence could apply, intention isn't necessary it simply needs to be reasonably foreseeable. However, in this case, it isn't.

wow these people are literally fucking insane. I knew they were stupid but the level of crazy these people are trying to legalize is just getting outrageous.

wow as long as the delegates are open about their vote this is fine, and I have to say, absolutely brilliant politics. Bravo, fight sneaky crap with some of their own tactics.

@najnasserio those countries are more like the welfare capitalism that D'Souza described. This being said, I don't think it's really right to call the soviet union and the eastern bloc communist in any true sense of the word.

@LearningAsIGo80 i know he's a zionist, but that term is thrown around by neo-nazi types as some evil thing but it's just saying he believes in a country specifically for the jewish people. You can debate this on it's merits but unfortunately it always turns into some anti semitic, conspiratorial...

i actually lol'd so much, whoever produces this nonsense needs to either:

a) Take a political literacy test

b) Up their dosage of thorazine quite drastically

lol it's friendship and labour not neighbor, I mean that could be a change you put in but seriously that dudes voice was not that hard to understand. otherwise, this was funny haha

that is one of the best things i've ever seen haha
