Ponrauil, the little satire you posted attributes EVERYTHING that has happened from a social policy rather than economical perspective to the democrats. Which is absolutely not true. This simply shows me that it is written for a manipulative purpose, just like the article about Obama. I agreed from the very beginning, it's very well written, and very clever, still...there's no difference whatsoever. The Republicans themselves are responsible for a lot of the things which the story underlines (you even mention that in your first part of your last post), there have been joint initiatives by senators and representatives of both parties, etc. etc...attributing all to the democrats is a lie meant to manipulate people and make them think "damn, i vote for those republicans but when was the last time they did something for me?". Which is a skewed perspective.

Now you call it just a "story". Well, then I call the Obama article "just some article".
They are both equally manipulative, the only difference is in that they address different social strata.
