Quote of the Day

Somebody has been re-reading Karl Marx or the Democratic Party’s platform again. Do people really still talk and think this way in the 21st century? Obviously so.

BradSpangler.com:

“The ruling class, the political class, use war and statism generally to milk the productive class (the rest of us).

    It is a more precise way of thinking and speaking to give attributes to classes rather than to conceptualize them as monolithic. Most people have no trouble dealing with economic, racial, gender, cultural, and other social classes. What’s wrong with thinking and talking of political classes?

    You mean you’ve never heard of the “political class”??? And yet you call yourself a “political news” service??? Hopefully you’ll be spending more time perusing Spangler’s blog in order to educate yourself so you have at least some vague idea of what you’re talking about when you publish your “political news.”
