Republicans are busy switching from classifying any complaint about the growing gap between rich and poor as "Class Warfare", to using the gap as an example of the poor stewardship of Obama. Forgotten are the record number of filibusters which obstructed any attempts to make the tax code more equitable or address past inequity. As Republicans are not offering any plan to address the ever growing income and wealth gap, and have signaled their intentions to maintain the status quo during the next 2 years of Obama's term, they are confident that their new slogan should suffice for the American people.

COOPTING CLASS WARFARE

Reasonable men will always be capable of compromise, but men who have dehumanized themselves by becoming the blind worshipers of an idea or an ideal are fanatics whose devotion to abstractions makes them the enemies of life. Their reclassification of the inequity between classes from "class warfare" to "poor stewardship by Obama" is really a reflection of their own faults as seen in Alice's Looking Glass ... it's time for them to awaken. ... and to lay off the 'shrooms.
