@mhorndisk:
In fact, back in those days, I probably would have been somewhat leftist myself, asking the King and the Pope, who said that you were ROYAL? Who gave you DIVINE authority? It was that kind of thinking that led to the Protestant Reformation and the founding of America - the American Revolution. It wasn't until the Communists of Russia and the Socialists of Germany and the Italian Socialist Dictatorship and the Chinese idea of Communism came around with the Secularist Revolutionary Ideology full blast, that was responsible for the mass slaughter of hundreds of millions.
The American Revolution was different, although there was the trail of tears and slavery which was promulgated through the Democratic Party, and although America didn't start slavery, we ended it. More specifically, the Republicans did. And now the Pope and the DNC are totally communist. The Pope even warned recently about Libertarians, when in fact, Libertarian means "those who believe in Free Will." Hmm, something to think about. Free Will is a Biblical concept, and he's supposed to be the Representative of God? A Communist Pedophile Leader? I don't think so. Communism, regardless of whether it fought against the evils of the Royal Blue Bloods, has never been good for the world, and it never will, because regardless of what kind of socialism it is, you always have the ones at the top distributing the goods, while keeping the lion's share. Hillary wants Socialism, Obama wants Socialism, Bernie wants Socialism, the Pope wants Socialism, all so they can have power.
So are you saying that the Republicans aren't "the ones at the top distributing the goods, while keeping the lion's share"
Are you saying they aren't giving jobs and tax cuts to all their mates in the super rich & 1% category? "all so they can have power"
Pull the other one.
