Now explain the statement "democrat bourgeois".


I think it's probably in the same ballpark as "limousine liberal" and "champagne socialist".

Kerry was a military man and he later fought for the rights of his fellow veterans.

"Anti-military liberal bourgeois"?

Kerry, like many experienced military men, is anti-war not anti-military.

And he has for a while been VERY critical of the dumb decisions that have been made from the TOP in the war on Iraq.

So this is a fake issue. Another partisan attempt to give legs to a nonstarter.

Bush went after war-veteran Kerry on the military issue again for these 2006 elections! Nice Bush has a powerful right-wing media to make it into an actual story.. particularly when neither was running in the mid-terms.

But Democrats still got in.

Case closed.. next story.

I am not a partisan.

I don't like John Kerry or Ted Kennedy for that matter.

I also don't like many republicans.

I like Joe Lieberman and Harold Ford.

I like Baraq Obama.

I even like Bill Clinton.

I like Senator Bill Nelson.

I know the names of more Democrats than Republicans.

If that was in response to my post, then no, it obviously doesn't. I don't see a problem with mentioning a well known 'unmentionable' about the military and admitting you were a part of it. Obviously you feel there is more to it than this. Please explain...

Speaks for itself was in response to the request to explain Democrat Bourgeois.

It was not my intent to confuse.

And really, the republicans are anything but supporters of the proletariat... Well, they support the proletariat working for them for non-existent wages, but that's something different.

OK, so what about the answer to my post? What do you feel was his 'intent' in the other quote you provided?

Let's be honest, both the democrats and republicans are composed of the bourgeoisie.

The republicans don't pose for the proletariat.

They do pose for faked photo ops after hurricanes and supposedly won illegal and immoral wars, though.

Twisted Evil
