The collective will of the SDMB, cubed, couldn’t overthrow a high school glee club, so I’m not sure what the OP’s on about.
Wow! Where are you getting the kool-aid? A Marxist revolution? Really?
In the larger scheme of things, the U.S. is currently pretty conservative and Barack Obama is a conservative centrist that is going to cut taxes for the majority of America…
From Wikipedia (my bolding).
Personally, it looks to me that the Democrats are becoming the party of fiscal responsibility and fiscal conservatism. The Republicans, while no fans of higher tax rates, seem to be the party of big government and debt. And if you really want to get into it, they also seem to be the party of government control of the media and spin. Hell, during the last eight years we had the White House paying a reporter a quarter million dollars to spin no child left behind (cite). We had the White House issuing press passes to a Republican activist using an assumed name to throw softballs during press conferences (cite). We had the government releasing prepackaged “news” stories that were essentially propaganda made to look like independent reporting (cite). Say what you want about Clinton and the Democrats, but they didn’t pull this kind of shit, and I doubt that Obama will either. From where I sit, it looks more likely that the neo-cons and religious right were attempting a fascist takeover of America than the liberals are attempting a Marxist takeover. But I don’t believe either; I just think you have been brainwashed by a bunch of right-wing bloggers and have lost all contact with reality.
Hell Elucidator, you must be sporting a gigantic boner right now–just from being considered consequential enough to be dangerous.
It’s a very weird trope among the extreme right wing…that God’s annointed United States of America, the greatest country in the history of history, with our sacred constitution, our freedoms, our wealth, our spirit, our common sense and on and on–yet if our enemies give us the tiniest little shove, utter just a few blatant lies, tempt us with the tiniest mess of pottage–and the whole edifice comes tumbling down like a house of cards.
Weird, I say. If America is so fragile that a few marxist Harvard law professors can bring us to our knees then we must never have amounted to much in the first place.
Oh, so you *are *a Marxist!!
Wow. I’m impressed some of you got through all that mumbo-jumbo. I threw in the towel about half way through. About where he gets into high rant about Der Trihs is where my ridiculometer went off. i got a chuckle out of it though, so not a total waste. 
Watching the paranoid apoplexy of many on the right is both enjoyable and a little frightening on this election eve.
It must be true. It’s bold and in big letters.
Damn, I loved that first thread - I was trying to get as many synonymns for cocaine and heroin in as I could. Left off “Columbian Marching Powder” though, my bad.
Anyway, I’m not even American, so I couldn’t give a stuff about the Democratic Party. I like Obama well enough, but I’m so far to the left of all your parties I can’t see them from here.
And I’m not a Marxist, I’m an Anarchist. Not the same thing at all.
So, is this a parody thread or a meltdown?
Hey, I believe that the collective good of the people should be paramount in government decision-making. Schools? Paid for by all. Public TV? Good enough for my taxes! Art? The more controversial the better! Sex? One for all and all for one! Or two if you swing that way.
I want my red “M”.
Okay I’m new here, so maybe I’m missing the reason y’all are taking focusonz seriously. Isn’t it satire? I thought it was hilarious.
…but I will be honest, I would rejoice at the downfall of both capitalism and American-style “democracy”, but only if they were replaced by something better. Which isn’t going to happen without a sea-change in humanity - as it is, those are the best we have. As long as they’re properly applied.
This has to be a wosh, right?, tell me its a wosh, lie to me if you have to, so i can sleep at night…
Actually, I am pretty sure focusonz is serious. Try doing a search of his posting history.
Regardless, the rules of this forum are pretty clear; we need to take the OP seriously and debate it on its merits. Personally, I think this thread should be moved. I believe the OP is a rant and not really offered up as a debate. If we were in the pit, I am sure people would be a lot more forthcoming in their opinions (I know I would be).
I am going to say “wosh” instead of “whoosh” forever and ever now. Thank you for tickling my brain with your typo, Frodo.
PS: DT is way too partisan to be a true revolutionary despite his intense (and often accurate) rhetoric. For some reason (I could be wrong here) he seems to think the evils of the world come from evil individuals within it, rather than that people being evil is the inevitable outcome the capitalistic system is designed to produce, one which is so deeply entwined with its nature that reform is impossible and revolution is the only answer.
That make me a red commie bastard enough for ya, buddy? You’re in for such a big letdown if you go looking for anything but moderates here, and I do like to be helpful to newcomers.

Sun Tzu has dozens of notable quotes, but the greatest may be, “For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” http://www.tribune-democrat.com/editorials/local_story_236133107.html

Photo voltaic solar cells is subsidized by the federal, state, local, and utility companies.
The subsidy amounts to $25,000 for a $35,000 5KW residential installation
98% of the Photo voltaic solar cells are made in china and the 2009 subsidies amount to $15 billion (est)
And the kids are buying PV because they were brainwashed to hate the utility companies.
PV is China’s last battle.in the US

The Chinese are sitting on 2 trillion US dollars.
Make that 3 trillion US dollars counting the wall street bail out and PV subsidies.
The Chinese can and have forced a crash of the American economy so to buy America cheap.
The Trade deficit sapped American wealth.
