RSN: Paul Ryan's 'Racial Dog-Whistle'

The coded words and denials have become archaic and tiring.....carefully worded opinions and Think Tank rhetoric mindlessly repeated verbatim by Americans having sacrificed their cognitive skills to the likes of FAUX et al.  

'I'm not a racist! Those are the facts!'  'Some of my best friends are.....,' 'They're committing crime...' They're taking away jobs....' too intellectually lazy, somnolent or surrendering 'thinking' to others.   

Pity they fail to do any historical research to determine how effectively the Nazis employed such techniques.

Hmmmm....

FOCUS: Paul Krugman | Paul Ryan's 'Racial Dog-Whistle'

Paul Krugman, The New York Times
Krugman writes: "American conservatism is still, after all these years, largely driven by claims that liberals are taking away your hard-earned money and giving it to Those People."

The GOP lives in a parallel universe: Global warming isn't happening. Tax cuts work. An aspirin between the knees is all the birth control a woman needs.

It gets worse. Recently, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal suggested we might be better off if hospitals could run credit checks on women in labor before letting them in the ER.

We are about to enter a battle over the federal budget. Will we follow Paul Ryan and the GOP extremists and cut Medicare, close schools and slash food assistance?

Campaign for Americas Future is fighting back. We want to close corporate loopholes, not your kid's school. It's time to make the rich pay their fair share so we can invest in jobs and infrastructure. Most importantly: We will not let Congress cut a single dime of Social Security benefits.

We have fought and won these battles before. We can stop Paul Ryan, but we need your help. Can we count on you to make a donation to support our fight for a budget that works for all Americans?

If you're reading this, you know that democracy belongs to those who show up.

You've knocked on doors, made phone calls, and donated. We wish we didn't have to ask, but we need your help.

Please make a donation today. We can't win this without you.

Thanks for all you do,
