I have found that most of those morons will call you a damned liar if you point out the fact that their party’s origin is a couple of multi-billionaires. Another reason the GOPers don’t like education.

What a stunning rebuke to such an anti-American cliched trope!

“No, goddamnit, if you insist on putting it that way, then no, you can’t have it back! It was never yours to begin with – you just thought it was. We call that “white privilege” and “patriarchy.” I’m sure you’ve heard of them…”

Precisely. When the wealthy and landed were told they couldn’t have slaves or even segregation anymore, their response was pretty simple: “Fine, then we’ll just make you ALL our slaves/servants.” They’ve been doing a pretty good job of accomplishing it since 1964. Equal opportunity serfdom.

It will be futile to resist …if the KochKoalition has anything to say about it.

“And the reason is, we’re not going back,” Cleaver said to applause. “You can’t have it back. We’re not going back to a day when we were segregated. We’re not going back to a day when women were considered secondary citizens. We’re not going back. No, you can’t have it back.”

Thank you, Rep. Cleaver. This needs to be said again and again and again. You’ll never, ever get it back.

Maybe not feudal, but we’ve effectively returned to The Gilded Age.
Mention this to 10 persons, maybe 2 will know what you’re talking about.

When Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver described the 2011 debt deal as a “sugar coated satan sandwich;” ah, I bound him to me then and there. I like this man.

Segregation sounds so critical … they really only want to return to a time when minorities knew their place .

Amen Rep Cleaver!

I too refuse to go back, by any fucking means necessary!
