I thought I just IMAGINED hearing this from Chuck Todd ! The American mainstream news media does think working class people are hopelessly lacking in critical intelligence. How annoying is THE NEWS !

              As if this FAKE NEWS ( ? ) were not enough I had to listen at least ten times this morning to the " news " about a cute little boy who was " bullied " in school for showing up with his finger nails painted red - " like a girl ".

           A Rhode Island " independent " candidate for state office here scolded an opponent for calling the sacred drug of the independent's " church " MARIJUANA - the moral equivalent, he thinks , of the N-word ( which he spelled out ) .

                 A badly needed 11th Commandment : " Thou shalt be kind to all eccentrics ". ( But still there is MAJORITY RULE in a democracy ) .

                  You have to be a socialist to stand up for democratic principles in the USA today.
