I agree with net neutrality as its what is stopping corporations like Comcast from fricking us over. I'm for net neutrality if we still have crony capitalism running wild. The Internet is a precious source and venue of free speech and free information.
I agree in spirit with immigration but I know damn well for a fact she means basically open up the borders and bring upon a floodgate of immigrants into this country that will break the middle class, tax us all beyond belief and send the welfare system and our money into collapse.
I support science as well and it needs to be protected and advanced but there have been way too many instances where liberals have been anti-science because it didn't fit their narrative and that destroys their credibility. Like agw for instance.
Everything she wrote is pure garbage not worth responding to. Democrats please run her so she can get her arse kicked. It's like republicans running Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin at once. America does not want an extreme left wing nutjob or one from the right either for that matter.

Agree. You can start with the science that says ethanol is an awful policy, from both an economic and an environmental standpoint.
That's a good example of progs and liberals being anti-science.

I would have serious reservations about voting for her.

Hilary will not make it out of primary season if Warren runs.

In a sense, I would like to see Warren as the Democratic nominee in 2016. Warren, more so than Hillary Clinton, would shift the election's focus from personality/biography to ideology (even though she, like Hillary, would be vying to be the first female US President). We really haven't had an ideologically-focused election since 1980 or 84. I would argue that every election since then has been decided more by "likability" than anything else. Yes, Barack Obama is a "movement" progressive, but his personality & biography were what won the elections.

She lives in fantasy land. The papoose is on the loose.

I wouldn't. That would be the ultimate hanging curveball, and the GOP would still find a way to swing and miss.

No one forces students to attend private schools that charge 40 grand a semester. Anyone can get a quality education for relatively cheap, they may just not have the flashiest name on the diploma.

Or shitty degrees, in shitty fields, where they can't get a job that will pay their bills...

Of course, most of these commandments are ridiculous. If she believes in science, as she purports to in Commandment #2, she wouldn't be advocating these policies as a means of creating a sustainable society.
The thing that gets me about this is the last item,in which she characterizes the philosophy of conservatives in a way that reflects pure uninformed prejudice. If someone made a blanket negative statement about a group of people with whom Elizabeth Warren agreed, she would be screaming about prejudice and bigotry.
There are no doubt some individuals on the left and right that take the view that "I got mine. The rest of you are on your own." (This is not a view limited to conservatives.) But by and large conservatives take the view that the free market creates an incentive system that is both fair and lifts society in general to a higher economic level. Warren wants to punish the productive elements of society. I suppose that haters are gonna hate.

Here's the hater in me hating on Warren:
These "commandments" show her right in her wheelhouse, as the left's mirror image of Sarah Palin- expertly delivering shallow, populist, garbage rhetoric while the true believers swoon.

Nothing new here. That's the same old lib handbook with few new words thrown in.
It's been around for 100 years or more. She's thinking inside the same old musty box.

- "We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage."
The minimum wage was started by progressive economists to cull the "unemployable" from the workforce. They knew that unemployment would rise because of it. At the time of its conception, they knew the hardest hit would be to minorities and immigrants.
And what do they think will happen if they raise it? Same thing. But hey, having more government dependents is the goal, isn't it?
