I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life, so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own.
I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can’t justify this insanity.
We have become a nation that has lost its collective sense of direction. We see other countries go socialist and collapse, but it seems like a great plan to us.
Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
Universities that advocate equality discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while others are not held responsible for their actions at the present time.
Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out large loans to earn their degrees.
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, you go to college for free.
And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility, and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up, America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and sinking fast.
The transformation of the medieval world into the modern world came about with the idea that man could and should transform his lot in life.
The liberal individualism of the Enlightenment however was soon countered by reactionary movements, feudal and socio-feudal, seeking to put the genie of individual autonomy back in the box through collectivist movements.
Socialism postured as progressive when it was reactionary. Its leaders, most often hailing from the upper class and upper middle class, reverted newly liberated societies in Russia and China back to feudalism under the guise of liberating them. The Bolsheviks took Czarist feudalism and rebranded it as collective farming, forbidding the “liberated” farmers from owning property or livestock, and even from leaving their farms to seek a better life in the big cities.
The empowerment of the individual had given way to the enslavement of man in the service of an ideal society. Individuals were once again worthless, except as they fit into a larger plan.
The ultimate struggle will be less about movements and more about individuals. The more the system fails, the more repressive it will become. And only millions of individuals can defeat it.
Socio-feudalism has the destruction of individual autonomy as its central goal.

Among the most prominent of these was what would eventually be called socialism.
While early socialist movements had been a radical Christian heresy emphasizing communal living, these experiments invariably failed on a local level, leaving behind a trail of wrecked lives.
Nineteenth-century radical theorists began laying out plans for the communal transformations of entire societies.
Fourier’s socialist “phalanxes” which would influence everything from Soviet communal farms to hippie communes in the United States, were feudal mass communities with no private property and everyone assigned a role in life under the rule of a centralized “omniarch”.
Socialists had to justify the elevation of the collective over the individual through fatalism about the role of man.
All evidence to the contrary, man has no ability to change his lot in life. He is only an atom in the larger phalanxes of life. As Robert Owen, the father of British Socialism, told the US Congress in an address in 1825, man “never did, nor is it possible he ever can, form his own character,” but is “universally plastic” and socialists could make him over into anything at all.
The US Declaration of Independence asserted that man was born free, but to the socialists he was born a slave and the best that he could ever hope for was to be a slave to the right cause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson insightfully critiqued Fourier: “He treats man as a plastic thing, something that may be put up or down, ripened or retarded, moulded, polished, made into solid, or fluid, or gas, at the will of the leader… but skips the faculty of life, which spawns and scorns system and system-makers, which eludes all conditions, which makes or supplants a thousand phalanxes and New-Harmonies with each pulsation.
Was man a “plastic thing” or the bearer of the mystery of the “faculty of life”?
Leftist revolutionary movements might begin by hailing the power of the individual, but invariably ended up in a socio-feudalism system making malleable man over to fit the five-year plan.
Socialism postured as progressive when it was reactionary. Its leaders, most often hailing from the upper class and upper middle class, reverted newly liberated societies in Russia and China back to feudalism under the guise of liberating them.
The Bolsheviks took Czarist feudalism and rebranded it as collective farming, forbidding the “liberated” farmers from owning property or livestock, and even from leaving their farms to seek a better life in the big cities.
The empowerment of the individual had given way to the enslavement of man in the service of an ideal society. Individuals were once again worthless, except as they fit into a larger plan.
The socialist argument against individualism was human fallibility. The muckrakers gathered every example of misery and described them as social ills that society had to collectively remedy. Outwardly private philanthropic organizations claimed to help the poor, but their embrace of eugenics, including mandatory sterilization, seizing children from parents, prohibition, and greater state intervention, including mandatory centralized state education, set a pattern that was innately socialist even when its proponents avoided the use of the word.
Every crisis, including World War I and the Great Depression, was seen as a reason for replacing smaller institutions with larger ones and further disempowering the individual.
Hitler’s National Socialist party blamed Germany’s loss in WWI partly on free enterprise. Roosevelt and the Democrats blamed the Great Depression on free enterprise. Both built state systems for seizing control of it.
The Russian Bolsheviks not only blamed individual farmers for their famine, but used it to wipe them out.
The post-war economic rebound in America and Europe did not end socialism, but rebooted it, with governments confiscating even more wealth for “the benefit of society.”
The macro conflicts of WWII and the Cold War, the threat of nuclear annihilation, were used to define the individual as too small to make a difference on his or her own except as part of a larger mass movement.
In the 1960s, class warfare gave way to identity politics. Individuals had to join groups to fight for a fairer society. What governmental institutions had failed to accomplish in fully transforming man, the new movements set out to accomplish in the psychedelic decade. The individual was told that liberation would come from losing his bourgeois background, worldview, inhibitions, morality and values to a new emerging humanistic blob shooting along the rainbow to the right side of history.
The 1980s marked a reassertion of individual priorities over mass movements. The movements that had broken the country were distrusted. Socio-feudalism struck back with an environmental crisis taking place on such a scale that individuals were nothing when measured against it.
Global authorities had to immediately seize total power to save the human race.
Environmentalism has brought socio-feudalists closest to realizing Fourier’s vision of abolishing private property and packing everyone off to collective compounds with a defined role in life: Man has had his day, but individuals can’t help selfishly wrecking the planet. Only subservience to larger systems can stop global warming, end human misery and transform the world.
A new wave of gender identity activism further eliminated the line between the individual and the state. The personal was political at the most granular level. The pronouns you used, the products you bought, whether you left the light on or not, were political choices. Human existence became a series of political tests measuring allegiance to a state ideology.
When the personal is political, there is nothing personal left to the individual.
Socio-feudalism had contrived to reduce man to a state of total subservience.
Medieval England banned playing games, especially “fute-ball” because it was seen as a distraction from the priorities of the state.
Postmodern California passed two laws outlawing Indian mascots, along with plastic bags, gendered toys and a thousand other things.
Postmodern man occupies a world of illusory technologies and shrinking possibilities where children are discouraged from riding bikes, packed off to early schooling at toddlerhood and indoctrinated to believe that their playthings are the reason for the destruction of the world.
Socio-feudalism has the destruction of individual autonomy as its central goal, and the pandemic lockdowns showed how easy that goal is to achieve in the face of a crisis. Government could and did assert control over what an individual could wear and whether he could leave the house. The public eventually responded to it not with a mass movement, as those mostly failed or were repressed, but by unilaterally discarding the prohibitions of the state.
Americans had ultimately fulfilled Emerson’s faith in “the faculty of life, which spawns and scorns system and system-makers, which eludes all conditions.” And that is why socio-feudalism will fail unless it can reduce mankind to a state of abject helplessness, ignorance and fear.
That is what Communist and Islamist regimes strove for, with varying degrees of success. And it is still the great aim of socio-feudalism today.
The ultimate struggle will be less about movements and more about individuals.
The more the system fails, the more repressive it will become. And only millions of individuals can defeat it.
Daniel Greenfield is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Taken from an article written by Cookie Schwaeber-Issan, a granddaughter of European Jews who arrived in the US before the Holocaust. Cookie Schwaeber-Issan left the USA and moved to Israel in 1993. She became a member of Kibbutz Reim but later moved to the center of Israel with her husband.
The American people have decided.
After the last 5-7 years of Woke ideology, which sought to take the country in a decidedly progressive direction, the majority has, instead, chosen to return to the familiar and time-tested path of tradition, common sense, and reason.
Donald Trump has won both the electoral college and the popular vote, displaying the rejection of policies that threatened to change American life in ways that were not acceptable to the majority.
Their votes affirmed that boys should not be able to participate in girls’ sports, undress with them in the locker rooms, that abortion is not the number one issue on the minds of all, that open borders are not the way people should come into a country, that DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusivity) does not top meritocracy and, perhaps, most important of all, that Israel should be supported and protected.
The results of this crucial election have also sent a loud message to the Woke students throughout America’s college campuses that terrorism can be properly distinguished and that Israel’s right to defend her homeland and her citizens is still a value held by those who understand right from wrong.
The ability to call Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists, rather than freedom fighters, was also on the ballot because the Squad and their ilk did not win their bid to isolate Israel as a pariah while attempting to convince everyone that October 7th was a justified payback for establishing the Jewish homeland 76 years ago.
This victory is one which will impact Israel as she fights a battle, fully equipped from a military standpoint, because she will not be lacking the necessary weapons needed to win decisively against a bitter enemy that is set on her destruction. It means that true and lasting peace is within reach because the new Secretary of State will not be hopping on flights every couple of months to try to strongarm us into an ill-timed ceasefire at a time when our hostages remain languishing in the depths of Hamas tunnels.
While progress is important for every nation, it must be done in reasonable increments, with logic, common sense, and the ability to defend why new ideas are superior to those which are seeking to be replaced.
In the case of the Woke progressives, no one, with a minimum of sound thinking, could make a reasonable case for such absurd ideas as promoting gender fluidity, hiding the thoughts and emotions of children from their parents, teaching new rules of gender, including explicit language and behavior, to children from K-6th grade or why libraries should have drag queen sponsored story hours.
This election proved that the majority does not view these changes as progress but rather as perversion. They are not seen as welcomed enhancements, but rather as a forced imposition of a viewpoint which rejects family, faith and the freedom to pass on one’s personally held values and principles to the next generation.
The overreach of government, which was being fueled by individuals who despise the American way of life and all it brings, was apparently so onerous to most of the public, that voter turnout was greater than ever. Clearly, people understood the stakes, so they did what they had to do.
Here, in Israel, we can also breathe a great sigh of relief, knowing that, even with all its flaws, the Republicans, who have had a sweeping victory, both in the Office of President, Congress and the Senate, represent the party which is more favorable to Israel, more embracing of traditional family values and more likely to stand by our side in a war that they recognize is not reserved just for the Jewish people.
With much support from the evangelical community, the same people who are committed to pray for and bless Israel, through their repeated visits, we are assured of a faithful and loyal ally who will not be the fickle friends, weighing their support of us, based on polls or what they believe to be politically expedient for them.
The Abraham Accords now has a second shot at building a new era of cooperation and mutual respect between countries who otherwise would remain antagonistic towards us. For governments, brave enough to extend their hand of friendship, the possibility of a calm and peaceful future is within reach, for the first time in a long time.
It is this type of good will which can only serve to strengthen mankind and ensure a better tomorrow, a stark difference from the tearing down of revered statues and monuments, in an attempt to erase history and rewrite one which bears no resemblance to the true events that took place.
“A gun is like a parachute. If you need one and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.”
The definition of the word Conundrum is something that is puzzling or confusing. Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:
America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.
Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.
They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.
Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.
The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it! And that pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
These three short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
Funny how that works. And here’s another one worth considering…
Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What’s interesting is the first group “worked for” their money, but the second didn’t.
Think about it…..and Last but not least :
Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.
A call to the American Liberal Jewish Community, join the WalkAway Campaign.
The WalkAway Campaign is a true grassroots movement, founded by former liberal, Brandon Straka on May 26th, 2018. The WalkAway Campaign encourages and supports those on the Left to walk away from the divisive tenets endorsed and mandated by the Democratic Party of today. We are walking away from the lies, the false narratives, the fake news, the race-baiting, the victim narrative, the violence, the vandalism, the vitriol. We are walking away from a party driven by hate. We are walking toward patriotism and a new, unified America! We are the future of this great nation!
The World’s Deadliest Virus – Global Communism – it’s coming!
By Tina Brooker:
The violence and division that we are witnessing sweeping across the West should be a wake up call for each and every one of us. We must learn from history NOT destroy it.
Communism is a deadly virus, one which must be vaccinated and eradicated before it spreads and kills our freedoms and all that we hold dear.
Nearly 200 years after the writing of the Communist manifesto, the left are now using identity politics and violence in order to resurrect this extremist ideology which is all about power and control.
What is Communism?
In 1848 Europe was burning, political upheaval led to mass violent riots in over 50 countries buildings burn, shops looted and national militias are called in to quell “the mob” sound familiar?
This was the year when Karl Marx published his Communist manifesto it outlined how to destroy Capitalism and usher in Communism through the means of Socialism. To accomplish this goal the manifesto pits two groups against each other based on their identity – Bourgeoisie versus Proletariat – essentially business owners versus the workers of that business.
Identity hatred is the key component that makes Communism work. The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles – Karl Marx.
Today we would call this IDENTITY POLITICS.
The principles are the same define people by their groups and pit them against each other with a perceived injustice, a toxic mix. What follows is violence. Marx embraced violence. He called for the overthrow of all existing social conditions and for the common ruin of the classes.
The United Nations
At this point I would like to refer you to an excerpt from an earlier article I have written on the United Nations entitled “UN Calls for Global Governance” in which António Guterres the UN Secretary-General and former president of the Socialist International Party from 1999 to 2005, is, off the back of the “Coronavirus “pandemic, pushing for “global governance”. Stating:-
“There is a widespread and increasing distrust of national governments, “inequality, discrimination, corruption and lack of opportunities all over the world – grievances that still need to be addressed, including with a renewed social contract.
The UN also recently tweeted its support for Antifa on its official page – alarm bells ringing yet?
Now lets return to the Marx era – What we were left with after this violent ideology of class warfare is a Communist state. Complete State ownership of your life. No private property, high taxes, Government control of communications and media. Government jobs for all workers. Government income for all workers. Mandatory Government education. Government that supersedes the Church in power.
These are the programs the left are pushing today using Identity Politics and violence to do it. This is all about Power and control.
In 1917 Marx’s ideas got their big shot. Vladimir Lenin was a Russian Marxist living in exile in Switzerland during World War I. Lenin believed wholeheartedly in Communism and saw the Russian political upheaval during the war as his shot to create a Communist State. Shockingly, when Lenin asked the German military for passage to Russia in the midst of a war between the two countries Germany enthusiastically said yes.
The Germans treated Lenin and his Communism as a deadly weapon to be used against their Russian enemy – a virus to infect the opponent and cripple them. The Germans agreed to transport Lenin across the front lines into Russia, but only via a sealed train so Lenin and his virus could not break out into Germany. Unleashing the deadly weapon of Communism on the Russian people was a horrifically effective tactic. As soon as Lenin arrived in Russia, he began to employ Identity Politics and Social Justice as a potent tool in his civil war.
Lenin told his armed revolutionaries in 1918 “Comrade, hang and I mean hang so that the people can see, not less than 100 known rich men, do this so that for hundreds of miles around the people can see, tremble, know and cry.”
Lenin won using Identity Politics to pit groups against each other, incite violence, create anarchy, and then the virus took hold. Private property and businesses were immediately dissolved, freedom of speech eliminated, individual freedoms crushed, economic collapse, famine, starvation, secret police raids. Millions of Russians were sent to concentration camps.
It is critical to note this mass death is not caused by Foreign Forces, but from within. Communism kills in the name of equality. They kill their own people, Communists do not care, they are indifferent to the suffering.
Man made famines and mass starvation in concentration camps are the norm, the cost of social justice.
The death toll numbers under Communism are staggering Eastern Europe 1m, Vietnam 1m, Afghanistan 1.5m, Africa 1.7m, North Korea 2m, Cambodia 2m, Soviet Russia 20m people, but nowhere is the genocidal sociopathic blood lust of Communism more evident than the dark history of Communist China.
The Rise of Chinese Communism
China became a Communist State in 1949 after a bloody prolonged civil war led by Mao Zedong. After becoming a Communist dictator Mao joked about the killing of business owners in his own country. 30m people. “We have so many people we can afford to lose a few”.
Mao’s attempt to industrialise China known as the Great Leap Forward murdered more than 45m people in a few short years, many simply from starvation. A total of 65m Chinese nationals were murdered under Mao’s Communism. Mao kept power in spite of the genocide. Communists NEVER give up power, ever. They don’t have to.
The State is god, you are nothing. Mao’s political party remains in power in China to this day and they exercise an iron clad grip on its people.
Antifa/Black Lives Matter
Many of the organised leftists torching American cities are Marxists, they openly admit it. Indeed, Patrisse Cullors co-founder of Black Lives Matter is on video openly stating “We are trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories”. They use identity and class division to destroy private property in the name of “justice”, demonise capitalists, publicly persecute those who disagree with you. Incite violence and seize power and control.
Analysis
It would appear as with Lenin who used the upheaval of war as his shot at create a Communist state – we now see Antifa and Black Lives Matter using the upheaval of Covid-19 to launch their opening attack upon the West. We have started to see history repeating itself.
But who is the Chief Commander leading this dangerous coup?
“The United Nation’s Agenda 2030 is an inventory and control plan of ALL land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction all means of production, food, energy, information and all human beings in the world – ultimately a one world governance structure from a central unit.”
I believe we may have been given a few inadvertent clues as to who is really running this operation – hidden in plain sight.
Time to shine the spotlight on the United Nations – and join up the dots.
Remember you cannot kill an idea but ideas can kill you.
AG Barr: Democrats are now the “Rousseauian Revolutionary Party that believes in tearing down the system” “They’re not interested in compromise. They’re not interested in [a] dialectic exchange of views. They’re interested in total victory…It’s a substitute for religion.” The left is Knowingly complicit in the destruction of America as we know it. They don’t want to stand by the ideals of justice instead they cower to the mob and don’t condemn the violence in hopes that they too will not fall victim to the mob They have surrender their ultimate authority to anarchists with one goal, destruction. The Left has moved from Socialism to Careerism where they move with one motive no matter the repercussions to society and that is solely to get re-elected by any means. This is why our founding fathers created The Constitution, for groups just like this who choose to water the seeds of division and try to cultivate hate for America thus creating future generations who also despise our country.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel.
Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals.
2. Conservatives.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called ‘vegetarians’ which was an early human word meaning ‘bad hunter’) learned to live off the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men “evolved” into women. Others became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided.
Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.
Modern Liberals like special flavored beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine spritzers or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists, and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink real beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today’s lesson in world history. It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history lesson that it will be shared immediately to other true believers and to just piss-off more Liberals.
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self. Right now I’m going to grab a few beers and grill some steaks! Right after I forward this message.

My head hurts. Why are people using the word leftist to describe those people? The Democratic Party, first off, did that TO a leftist. The people that went along with the corrupt, out of touch candidate the Democrats chose don’t give a damn about the poor and don’t want to radically change policies that have increased inequality, de-industrialization, private debt, decades of stagnating wages, etc. The Democrats have moved to the right of where they used to be on economic issues and are corrupted by the rich and corporate money. A leftist opposes that. What Rubin is talking about has NOTHING to do with economics. I am on the left because of my views on economic issues and issues of power, and him critiquing annoying, relatively well-off PC “progressives” has nothing to do with economics. We have lowered taxes on the rich and corporations, deregulated finance, weakened unions, have multiple free trade deals, have cut, privatized or outright eliminated programs that the poor depended on (and Democrats helped to do that). The country is crumbling, all of that has been disastrous. What do the people Rubin is talking about have to say about that? Dick. I know this from personal experience. They haven’t challenged the Democrats while they have moved to the right on economic issues. I don’t quite understand what Rubin sees as “the left”, but it doesn’t describe me. I agree with some of his critiques, but try to get most of those people to discuss economic issues in depth. You’ll find that most of them haven’t put tons of thought into it or they’ll have platitudes. They are often relatively well off and don’t really focus on economic issues. I do, and that’s what makes me a leftist.

Okay, so what he is saying regarding the PC crowd has merit. What exactly does that have to do with economic issues or issues of class? Does some of the PC crowd being annoying and close minded change the fact that we have moved to the right on economic issues since Reagan and that a majority of the country is clearly worse off? When you say you are a leftist, what does the word mean? Some closed minded PC people don’t change the actual impact of “conservative” or right wing economics. It seems, since the Democrats and social democratic, labor and socialist parties in the developed world have moved to the right in recent decades, and since they no longer propose economic alternatives or an alternative economic vision, that people call themselves leftist without economics being the center of their political identity. It’s odd in the extreme. Some libertarians take “progressive” stances on foreign policy, drug laws, women’s rights and all that, but they aren’t on the left because of their stances on economic issues. I often find that those people are more libertarian than leftist and I wonder if they care that much about the actual record of the economic policies we have put in place since Reagan. If they are unmoved by the fact that we have lowered taxes on the rich (income taxes, estates, dividends, capital gains) and corporations, we have deregulated finance and put in place financial de-regulation, that unions are far weaker, and the country is clearly worse off, maybe they were never on the left. I agree with a number of his critiques, but his critiques have nothing to do with economics.

I think a lot of people might have issue with admitting something like “I’m a racist right now?!” .. perhaps it’s easier to simply disagree with the left and become a moral and logical person. No even need to agree with right, just admit that censorship and intimidation is morally wrong and you can no longer be a member of such ideology.

+Steve True A Democrat gets offends when a Republican made a joke, that the Democrat mother never took her abortion pills when she had was pregnant with the Democrat, as she mixed them up with pain killers (baby is a pain and Killers), hoping to rid of her unwanted baby and then calls the baby “special” when it was born. Years later, the Child comes of age and asks “Who is my daddy?” She does not know who is the father is as she was too drunk and high at the time, so she replies “Daddy Government”.

Dave is awesome. If you haven’t seen his show, he is an example of a great host. He is objective and never Forces his opinion on viewers even if he disagrees. That gives the guests the opportunity to shine and explain themselves very clearly. Check out his channel!

To be fair, name calling has one the left the elections for how many years? Trump didn’t exactly win the GOP nomination by playing by the right’s rules. He ran as a leftist candidate espousing more conservative values. The left’s tactics have won just about everything over the last decade – it’s their policies that s*ck. I don’t agree with the tactics, but it wouldn’t do anyone justice to ignore what w*rks.

Liberal values were almost always on the right, like how Republicans were the ones giving minorities and women the rights to vote and civil liberties.

Adhiraj Gupte did u like what I wrote…it is happening right now in Columbia with FARC .. and in different stages in Indian states of Bengal,Kerala and Tripura… Tripura is lost forever..but somehow it is not messed up (may be killed all opponents forever)…it’s a scenario which shows current Russian style of communism…rest is barbaric horde communism in rest of the states. I think Indian government knows it both BJP and Congress didn’t make any deal but made them surrender…if a deal was made they would have used it as I said earlier to expand their party into tribal areas.

Fuck off to North Korea, you democracy-hating clowns.
Eric Allen Bell REGRESSIVE LEFTIES: Your hatred, violence, entitlement and ignorance are why Donald Trump won. Rioting to reverse the outcome of Democratic elections, is just the type of moronic thinking that our Constitution is in place to protect us from. Sure, you are unique, just like everyone. And all you delicate little snowflakes will end up on history’s blooper reel. The pendulum has swung the other way, at last. The cultural mess you have made of this country – radical feminism, white guilt, the envy class living off the hard work of others, safe spaces, political correctness, generations of emasculated men, illegal aliens, Islamo-enthusiasm – this will all be cleaned up, as we drain the swamp and make America great again.
