How many times was global warming mentioned? Haven’t they said that this “climate change” is the biggest threat to mankind, and that climate change is actually a national security issue??

And, what about the war on women? Are we still debating whether states can ban contraception and how the Sandra Flukes of the world will get birth control pills????

Actually, the Leftist preoccupation with "inequality," predates Marx, going back at least to the French Jacobins.

Exploit envy and greed.

Make yourself rich and everyone else poor.

Climb to the top of the mountain and then out the ladder so no one else can follow.

That is the left.

They don’t do anything that is not poll-tested and Focus Group approved.

If they are using those words it’s because a large number of our fellow citizens (God help us) actually feels that way.

[bigbob]

they have not choice, without “inequality” of some kind, they’d be Republicans

The left fails to understand that you can’t have everything and nobody owes you anything the dirty little secret about freedom is that you are on your own.

It's simply a useful lever - class envy is as old as politics - and in this case it serves as a justification for acts that otherwise would be considered highly immoral: theft, to be specific, violence as well. If all wealth is theft there can be no moral issue with stealing it "back". Stealing it back at the point of a gun follows.

Not that moral issues are themselves paramount, they simply make excellent propaganda. There are those on the Left who do feel a moral outrage that the distribution of material property is uneven across their society, which is a more or less harmless fantasy. It is when that moral outrage leads to the conviction that it is up to them to put it right by force that the thing becomes harmful. More of them, though, and this is particularly true at the level of debate to which we're treated on television, more of them are simply interested in the power, cloaked in whatever piety they can conjure at the moment. Hillary isn't the only one, she's just the most transparent one.

Always comparing yourself to other people is a sure formula for unhappiness. Envy and jealousy are sins. They are the Dems highest virtues.

Material inequality is the predominant concern of the Democratic Party. Indeed, material inequality has been the predominant concern of the left since Karl Marx.

It is broader than material inequality. Libtards are obsessed with suffering, hardship, and need in general, which they consider to be unjust, rather than an inevitable part of the human condition and experience.Next, they are obsessed with the grandiose delusion that nearly all suffering and injustice can be eliminated by positive rights and entitlements, even if they violate natural rights and require the use of force.
