When you hear the constant rattle of class warfare by the administration..they don't mention fixing the tax code for the most part, they talk about RICH versus POOR....
This kind of open talk has got to stop...they say it publicly and openly.
How long can this country allow that kind of pressure cooker to just boil ?
To those who are offended by this..I am sorry, but its time we talk about ALL americans and not separate them by money or color. It does NOT solve problems, it simply keeps them rolling around and makes them worse.

The way so-called liberals stir up hatred pointing at The Haves, telling the Have Nots they've been completely trampled upon and used like slaves, is a big part of this problem. They do not point out that The Haves have actually WORKED to get where they are.
Rioting, burning and looting going on in London is not so that The Have Nots can eat and pay their electric bill. It's going on to be able to break in and steal big flat TV's from the stores.....they were showing it yesterday and pointing that out.......THE ENTITLEMENT ATTITUDE of "you OWE me these goods without working to pay for them".
As for the racial crap being thrown, we need look no further than how so-called liberals have treated Condoleezza Rice like a dumb, "token black", while honest people know she is a poised, gracious, educated, moral, intelligent and talented woman who came from this:
"Rice was a Democrat until 1982 when she changed her political affiliation to Republican in part because she disagreed with the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter, and because of the influence of her father, who was Republican. As she told the 2000 Republican National Convention, "My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did..........
Rice herself said of the segregation era: "Those terrible events burned into my consciousness. I missed many days at my segregated school because of the frequent bomb threats."[90]
During the violent days of the Civil Rights Movement, Reverend Rice armed himself and kept guard over the house while Condoleezza practiced the piano inside. According to J.L. Chestnut, Reverend Rice called local civil rights leader Fred Shuttlesworth and his followers "uneducated, misguided Negroes."
Also, Reverend Rice instilled in his daughter and students that black people would have to prove themselves worthy of advancement, and would simply have to be "twice as good" to overcome injustices built into the system. Rice said “My parents were very strategic, I was going to be so well prepared, and I was going to do all of these things that were revered in white society so well, that I would be armored somehow from racism. I would be able to confront white society on its own terms.” While the Rices supported the goals of the civil rights movement, they did not agree with the idea of putting their child in harm's way.[90]
Rice was eight when her schoolmate Denise McNair, aged 11, was killed in the bombing of the primarily black Sixteenth Street Baptist Church by white supremacists on September 15, 1963. Rice has commented upon that moment in her life:
"I remember the bombing of that Sunday School at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963. I did not see it happen, but I heard it happen, and I felt it happen, just a few blocks away at my father’s church. It is a sound that I will never forget, that will forever reverberate in my ears. That bomb took the lives of four young girls, including my friend and playmate, Denise McNair. The crime was calculated to suck the hope out of young lives, bury their aspirations. But those fears were not propelled forward, those terrorists failed."
— Condoleezza Rice, Commencement 2004, Vanderbilt University, May 13, 2004
Segregation also hardened her stance on the right to bear arms; Rice has said in interviews that if gun registration had been mandatory, her father's weapons would have been confiscated, leaving them defenseless against Ku Klux Klan nightriders............
