Warren Lights Up Netroots Nation

  Warren lights up Netroots Nation

Sen. Elizabeth Warren lit up a gathering of liberals with a fiery speech Friday, championing a progressive agenda amid continuing calls for her to reconsider a run for president in 2016.
Warren, D-Mass., held up her campaign to implement the 3-year-old Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as evidence progressive ideas can succeed, even in a political environment still largely overwhelmed by big-moneyed interests and scores of lobbyists. She urged an unrelenting approach in future fights in order to score more victories.
“If we push back hard, we can win. We fight, we win,” she told the Netroots Nation gathering at the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit. “We don’t win every time, but we’re learning to win. We’re learning to win and we will keep winning.”


While Warren’s speech was devoid of specific policy prescriptions or pieces of legislation, she spent the final few minutes issuing a list of sweeping positions that unite the left, including tougher regulations and oversight of Wall Street and making sure blue-collar families can earn a livable wage and retire with a social safety net.

 Warren like Obama is a mere actor nothing more, and a very good liar.

The short version is this: "The government should force others to give me what I consider politically correct to have and also force their behavior in general based on my politically correct views "

- "We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we're willing to fight for it."

- "We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth."

- "We believe that the Internet shouldn't be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality."

- "We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage."

- "We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them."

- "We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt."

- "We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions."

- "We believe—I can't believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work."

- "We believe that equal means equal, and that's true in marriage, it's true in the workplace, it's true in all of America."

- "We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform."

- "And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturnHobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!"
