Did I hear that correctly? Did Jim play a clip of Kagan saying the US is a democracy not a republic? (paraphrased)

Sorry,I missed it too. I just got out of the shower.

All of the people that Obama surrounds himself with are clueless about our government and how it’s supposed to work.

Or, they know how it’s supposed to work, and they are trying their darndest to subvert it.

(which is probably more likely)

I don't know about that but ....

As an undergraduate at Princeton, Kagan wrote a senior thesis titled

"To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933."

In the "Acknowledgments" section of her work, she specifically thanked her brother Marc, “whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas.” In the body of the thesis, Kagan wrote:

"In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness. Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nation’s established parties?...

"Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope."

I wonder if you just heard Rose insisting that Hillary made "ice cream" comment ("but now suddenly if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to be harassed.") They went to commercial and came back and she was STILL ridiculing Hillary for making the comment about taking the kids out for ice cream. Amazing.

She was totally wrong. Jim tried to tell her it was Obama who said it, but she insisted on saying it was Hillary. Rose even asked, "Is Hillary that stupid???" What a Christian that Rose is. /s

Here is the real quote:

The president said, “you can try to make it really tough on people who look like they, quote, unquote look like illegal immigrants. One of the things that the law says is that local officials are allow to ask somebody who they have a suspicion might be an illegal immigrant for their papers — but you can imagine if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona, your great, great grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state. But now suddenly if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to be harassed, that’s something that could potentially happen.

This is why Rose is NOT my favorite. She says things that are very untrue, she says them cruelly and adamantly ...... and that is bad for a very excellent show. (I thought Tuesdays were one of Rose's off days.)
