Guilty

This morning I watched Hannity on Fox News. Every progressive should watch Fox a few times a week just to see what they are up to. His theme for today was how the Democrats are dividing the country. How we are pitting African Americans and Hispanics against conservatives. How we are turning women against Republicans who have the best interest of the other sex fore front in their minds. How we are pitting the poor against the rich for no good reason. He also had other examples but these were the high points. If being opposed to gerrymandering districts and voter suppression is divisive then I am guilty. If believing in equal pay for equal work, the right to health care and the right to personal choice for women is dividing the country I admit to it. If the division between rich and poor is unsustainable as the Fed has said, or if I feel that Paul Ryan’s budget is the blue print for a third world country, and Hannity feels this is being divisive then I am guilty as charged. But for the record I am damn proud of it.

I for one want as much division between conservatives and all other oppressed groups, blacks, hispanics, women, native americans, as is possible. Maybe then things will start changing for the oppressed groups. Although with the internal gestapo forces as militarized as they are, a clamped down fascist dictatorship is the only future for this hypocritical 'democracy'.

and, for the record, I'm also damn proud to be a divisive American who is against the conservative radical Republicans.

Whatever the right wing is doing they will project it on to you...and Fox is the tool for that projection.
The right has been dividing us for decades now, so it is only natural they will accuse the left of being the one who does it.

They already have MacSerfs working in MacJobs for Mac-slave-wages. What's the matter with you all? You're supposed to be GRATEFUL to the bosses for preserving our freedoms to work 80+ hours a week and hope we don't get sick, or old, or pregnant. Can't afford to get pregnant? Well simple, stop engaging in sex. See how well no sex enhances your marriage, and endears and strengthens your bonds with your partner.

Every progressive should watch Fox several times a week????

We're not all mentally ill. Good luck with your masochism/self loathing.
