I don't see how a supreme court decision that changes the course of US politics as we know it is equivalent to some college kids running around a false petition to repeal the first amendment.
If your saying that the right is better about the 1st amendment, then you are woefully failing to show it.
The problem of college students is quite a bit more serious than you are making it out to be. The entire higher education system is being corrupted by these students, with most political/cultural/humanities departments having been taken over already. On the flip side, I could say the view of 4 unelected officials doesn't represent the majority republican view.
Democrats talk so much about how great they are for the poor. I'm not sure how much time people have spent listening to the other side of the isle, but the creation of the welfare state, the destruction of the family, these are the things that have been keeping people poor. Democrats have made the poor dependent on the state, unable to get out of poverty and completely dependent on the checks they receive from the government.
Bull fucking shit. What's keeping people poor is capitalism, mosr especially the hyper "free market" capitalism we have today. Look at the long term economic figures, when laws are enacted to curb the power and wealth accumulation of the rich and to distribute income and wealth more evenly poverty falls, equality rsies and the wealth gap shrinks. This also leads to stonger, longer and healthier economic growth. It is no coincidence that the period between 1946 and 1970, the period when the welfare state was essentially created saw the greatest period of economic growth in history coupled with the greatest widening of prosperity. And no coincidence either that when govements started dismantling the welfare state that all of this went into reverse.
That is why I hate right wing parties, they'll abandon their own people for a few shiny pieces of glass (to which I mean directorships and speaking tours after political careers in this day and age). And the right wing includes most parties that would traditionally have been left wing.
