    It's not so much fear as a recognition that Citizens United was handed down by the Supreme Court, in direct contradiction to the United States Constitution, as a deliberate attempt to empower Right Wing Oligarchs like the Koch Brothers to buy elections and completely subvert the very concept of a free and open vote of the People. We saw the resuts in 2010 when corporate money forced a number of Teabaggers into Congress where they proceeded to get the nation's credit rating lowered and nearly drove the nation into default entirely. We saw the results again last month in Wisconsin where corporate money protected a corrupt and criminal Governor who has causes such harm to his own constituents. What Liberals "fear" is that this pattern of depriving the American people of their voice will become permanent and the Right Wing will turn our once great democracy into an Orwellian nightmare in which people can only think about what they are allowed to, can only marry the people they are told to, and who have no rights save those that the oligarchs are willing to give them.

    Let me slam the Marxist Liberal with facts.

    A Marxist is an individual that supports the teachings and ideology of Karl Marx. Liberals support the teaching and ideology of Karl Marx. Therefore, Liberals are Marxist.

    Karl Marx said; “Democracy is the road to socialism.”
    Karl Marx said; “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.”

    Didn’t Obama pass Obamacare in the Senate without a single Republican vote? Didn’t Obamacare transfer wealth from those with abilities to those of need? Wasn’t the justification for Obamacare that 30 million people needed it?

    If you walk like a duck and you talk like a duck, you are a duck.

    You can't slam anyone or anything until you start using facts and/or logic. You have yet to do either, Marxist moron.

    No, you're moron.
    Well, you're and idiot.
    No, no, you're an idiot.

    A conversation like that is way below my intelligence level. It must be difficult for you to figure out what 3rd grade name to call.

    Let me slam the Marxist with another fact.

    Karl Marx published the party line for illiterate peasants. It still works today.

    I see you cut and run on Jean. You don’t like facts do you?

    CU fights Marxist Liberal and their ability to buy votes with welfare programs. Obama has already created over 5 trillion dollars of public debt buying votes.

    Conservatives think it's good because the right wing media has told them it's good.

    They don't even know what the case was about.

    At least liberals think for themselves and question it.

    Hey, Franklin, the name of North Korea is the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea.

    Does that make North Korea a democracy? Does that make North Korea a republic?

    Corporations can pay to make political statements against Obama and The Democrats, governmental policies, campaign tactics, etc. What they can't do is make direct contributions to candidates or parties.

    Yes, and the avatars they choose. Usually such dignified looking statesmen that have nothing in common with them and are probably rolling over in their graves every time they say something.

    I've noticed neither your nor Rouge the Caveman can discuss the Citizens United ruling. All you're doing is throwing insults at PP. How about a rational, informed discussion? Can you do that?

    If it walks like a Republican or a right-wing-nut-job or a conservative and talks like a Republican or a right-wing-nut-job or a conservative, it's probably a Republican or a right-winger or a conservative. You do the walk and the talk.
