OK. Let's assume that the Dem's aren't socialists. What would you call a group who wants to nationalize the banks, the auto companies, our entire healthcare system? Would those be nationalists rather than socialists? Fascists like Mussolini? Having never lived in the rarified air of NY, we simpletons out here in flyover country see things just a bit different than those of you who wish to run every aspect of our lives.

Here's another shocker for you. There are many on the Republican side of the aisle we don't care for much either. They are content to lead us down the same path as your folks, albeit at a much slower pace.

We are tired of those of you on the left playing the vicitm care every time someone from the right says something you disagree with. Why is it compromise when we capitulate to the demands of Barney Frank, John Kerry and Harry Reid. When those on the right propose something, the response from the left is to grab their ball and go home. After they cry into the tv cameras. The act is wearing very thin. This is the most transparency we've seen from them in a long time.

"With students, community members, and teachers in these buildings, imagine the possibilities. Poetry workshop in one room; free clinic in another; science lab in a third. Food production. Critical pedagogy class. Strategy meetings. A kind of education that embraces deep meaning, knowledge for people’s needs,"

What the hell kind of jibber jabber is this? I thought that we used to teach young'uns how to read, write and do some math. Guess I'm just one of those stupid people who doesn't understand this highfalutin' learnin'.
