Simply explained...

A young black kid asks his mother, "Mama, I hear that man on TV talking about Socialism and Racism.  

What is it, Mama?"

"Well, Child.....Socialism is when white folks work every day so we can get all our stuff, you know.....like our free cell phones, rent subsidy, utility subsidy, food stamps, EBT, WIC, free school lunch, free healthcare, and on and on.....you know, that's Socialism."

"But, mama, don't the white people get angry about giving away money that they worked for?"

"Sure they do, Honey.  That's called Racism."

(Never more simply explained.)

A Tribute to Communism...



This video appeared on YouTube a number of years ago and became hard to find over time. Communism is supposed to be simple: declare what you need to live to be your right, take it from whoever has it and then voluntarily submit yourself to a state that will arrange for you to contribute to the collective in exchange. But nearly a century of communism has been available for observation. Apparently communism isn't as simple as it was originally intended.
Price discovery is a powerful force. Without free enterprise, that process never takes place and the producer (the state) will never know if productivity is being wasted. There is no incentive to strive for higher quality or greater quantity. Food becomes scarce, housing diminishes, and people die.
Don't do communism. Do the right thing - the exact opposite of communism.

Text from: Being Libertarian on Fb

Words from Will:

"You know, it isn't politically correct to point out the evils of socialism promoted by Obama, Clinton, Bernie Sanders and their legions. Most American socialists think they are superior, intelligent, and well meaning. What supporters of socialism fail to learn from history is: governmental socialism requires oppressive force to break the independent human spirit.

In reality, international bankers and the corporations they control are behind the push for socialism in the United States. Why? Because military overthrow of our Constitution is impossible. It is much easier seducing the masses into giving up their Constitutional Liberties for the security of governmental programs. 

Look at how many socialists think Obamacare is great but aren't offended by the notion the government can now fine them for not buying something the government now says they have to buy. Never in history has our government claimed the authority to be able to punish citizens for not buying a product or service. Now we are told it is the "law".

Once Individual Rights are destroyed along with the Constitution protecting them, Americans no longer have any rights. The rich and powerful can claim everything without reprisal. Socialists are being duped into subjugation by the very people they are railing against. In the name of stopping "capitalism", they hand over America's freedom to the rich and powerful in the name of "socialism".

Well, let's hope they don't get what they deserve because the rest of us will suffer with them."

On Clinton's watch...

Marco Rubio: Don't blame George W. Bush for 9/11

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., attempted to clarify comments he made about former President Bill Clinton during Saturday evening's GOP debate. During the debate he said "The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn't kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him." And on NBC's "Meet the Press" the Florida Senator did not back away from blaming the September 11th terrorist attack on Clinton's inaction.
"If you're going to ascribe blame, don't blame George W. Bush, blame a decision that was made years earlier, not to take out bin Laden when the opportunity presented itself," he said.

Story here.

~~~~~~~

Well, duh.  Someone finally said it in public.

If Mohamed Atta and his crew were planning and training here in the US for several years prior to the attacks, it stands to reason that they did it on Clinton's watch.   Bush had been in office less than 9 months on September 11th.  The only people who don't understand that are the willfully ignorant.

I'm not a Rubio fan, but I think in this case, he speaks the truth.  Kinda.

The people who are to blame are the people who did it.  Mostly.

Someone created the environment that made them want to do it.  And to carry through with it. 

A lot of things happened that put Americans here, and around the world, in direct danger on Clinton's watch that should have been met with a stronger response.   From the first WTC bombing to the USS Cole, and everything in between.

But, hey...  It's all lost in the dust bin of history.

And yes, I realize that nothing is ever that simple.  Or is it?

Lindsey Graham and Margaret Thatcher on Consensus...

160213_lindsey_graham_ap_1160.jpg







Sen. Graham: Obama's Supreme Court pick needs to be a 'consensus' choice

Before the GOP debate in Greenville, S.C. Saturday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham said the only way President Obama could get a Supreme Court nominee approved by the Senate would be to put forward a consensus choice.

“No one will be appointed who isn’t a consensus choice," Graham said. "Now can the president find someone who 90 percent of us will agree upon? Maybe someone like Orrin Hatch."

Graham, who threw his support behind Jeb Bush days after ending his own presidential bid, framed the question of Scalia's replacement around the issue of electability, asserting that the anti-establishment candidates who have had the most success early on in the GOP nomination fight aren't likely to yield a justice in the mold of Scalia.

“Donald Trump’s not a conservative, so I don’t trust him to pick a judge," Graham said. "Everybody else on stage would pick somebody in the same mold, I think. Everybody other than Donald Trump I would have confidence would pick a Supreme Court justice nominee that I would vote for. Here’s the problem: I don’t think Ted Cruz or Donald Trump can win an election. I don’t think Ted Cruz has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting 270 electoral votes.

"Consensus: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: 'I stand for consensus?'"

"There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors...I mean it."

-- Margaret Thatcher

Venezuela Is Socialist, Senator Sanders. Any Questions?



People wait in line to buy eggs at government regulated prices in Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2016. There is currently a shortage of eggs in the country, and people wait in line for at least an hour to buy them. The IMF warned last Friday that inflation would more than double in the economically struggling South American country. (AP)

Socialism: Like a skyscraper crane about to topple in high winds, Venezuela is teetering on the brink of a horrific economic collapse. It was brought on by one thing: socialism, taken to the hilt.
Yet incredibly, neither Bernie Sanders nor his voters make this connection.
It’s worrisome that so many Americans see socialism in a favorable light these days. A May 2015 YouGov poll showed that socialism was viewed favored favorably by 43% of Democrats, while a June 2015 Gallup poll showed that 47% of Americans would vote for a socialist.
It points to a collective loss of memory. After all, it’s been decades since the fact that the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet empire collapsed. As chess champion Garry Kasparov has noted in “Winter Is Coming,” there have been no truth commissions or victory parades to institutionalize the monstrous idea’s discreditation and demise. In fact, the idea seems to be resurging in the U.S. Democratic Party, even with examples of its failures continuing, the latest example being Venezuela.
That reality of socialism and its horrific results is mocked by Sanders himself, who denies it has anything to do with his own ideas. “I myself don’t use the word socialism,” he told a University of Vermont student publication in 1976 “because people have been brainwashed into thinking socialism automatically means slave-labor camps, dictatorship and lack of freedom of speech.”
Brainwashed? The very word comes from socialist indoctrination practices. Sanders’ flip dismissal of those realities reminds us of a quote from Nobel Prize winner and author of “The Gulag Archipelago” Aleksander Solzhenitsyn: “Or do they refuse to see?”  Yes, Sanders and his followers refuse.
Even the absence of slave-labor camps, in say, socialist Venezuela, doesn’t get Sanders off the hook. Right now Venezuelans are at the logical conclusion of 18 years of democratic socialism, the kind Sanders has praised in the past, and even benefited from, as he accepted Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez’s oil largesse — stolen from Venezuela’s people — for Vermont.

Bernie's brand of Socialism has been re-branded "Democratic Socialism".  I'm not sure where that term came from.  I know that it is currently a pretty popular buzz word and that people buy into it and use it all the time.  Democratic Socialism.  Seems like an oxymoron to me.

Remember that time...?
