Selling Socialism to America

Original Article

Posted By: Cavallodifiero, 3/10/2019 12:28:15 PM

Socialism is a tough sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on facts and a remarkably easy sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on feelings. The adult world of facts is a foreign land to the infantilized world of feelings where low-info millennial voters currently dwell. The heated political battle between Americanism and Socialism parallels the battle between parents and their children who refuse to grow up emotionally and leave the nest. Becoming an emotional adult requires embracing a fact based cause-and-effect view of the world that rejects the fantasies of childhood.

Comments:

It looks as if the far left is depending on the children of America to turn over the country to them. Sadly it can only turn out the way this story ends.

Please keep saying this. It is the wisdom of the ages and distinguishes successful civilizations from tribal societies.

Take your "world of feelings" to the market and see how many eggs you bring home. The biggest thing we have going for America is the socialist´s programs require an uneducated populace to support them as well as those bent on her destruction.

Im 69 years old and remember when I was in high school we had a class president election. Two candidates were running. One boy was for more PTA/student involvement in meetings and agenda items, more after-school clubs like chess club, stamp and coin club, etc as well as a student advisory committee to work with the school principal on issues of importance. The other was a young girl that ran on a campaign of no school Mondays, early out on Friday at noon, school hours from 9-2 instead of 8-3, two hour lunch break, one hour recess, free cinnamon rolls and milk at nutrition, trust me the cinnamon rolls were to die for and Cinnabon can´t touch them, as well as sock hops on Friday and Saturday nights in the gym and so on. Well, guess who won. You guessed it. Nothing has changed.

You WILL fly, for a while. Like Socialism, it´s not the flying that kills you, it´s the rather abrupt stop at the end.

I an now into my seventh decade and have been writing to a high school friend forever. He is a good liberal. I must preface every question to him with "I don´t care how you feel, I want to know what you think."

That is the problem with Liberals they seldom think.

They have socialism in Venezuela and people are eating anything that can´t outrun them. Back in the 1930s Comrade Stalin introduced Soviet agriculture to socialism. Millions of Russians died of starvation. If you want to see a really good movie made in 2017 I recommend "The Death of Stalin."

(Breitbart, Feb. 26, 2020) - “What he’s doing is late, too late, anemic,” she added. “Hopefully, we can make up for the loss of time but we have to have professionals in place, resources that are adequate and not use scare tactics about people coming back to our country.”

Bernie Sanders as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the Presidency would spark a realpolitik crash course in socialism. The course would offer enlightenment for those born after the collapse of the Soviet Union who are, today, ignorant of the abysmal, national failures of the socialist ideology. Ironically, the education would be led by both left and right platforms of mass media – television, print, and web-based, including social media. Making for strange bedfellows. The left is not yet ready to openly endorse a full-blown, socialist agenda. Too much to lose, too quickly. But Bern may hijack the party—of which he’s not even

The visceral hatred of President Donald Trump by the Democrats and their running dog media was never enough to get him impeached, but will, in the end, see America turned over to Communist rule. “The Communists see in Bernie their one opportunity to seize control of America. Bernie is on fire and the DNC has lost control of their machine because the socialist leaning millennials are all in for Bernie.” (America Out Loud, Feb. 20, 2020) This is where the DNC will take all residents of the USA should they endorse Sanders as their presidential candidate come July.

We're in these ideological enclaves. But the truth is in the middle. Progress is made in the middle." That same year, Ford called Donald Trump a "son of a b----."

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) stated that he believes the object downed over Alaska “was unlikely to have been a threat of any kind, even of intelligence gathering,” and was probably something benign and “they just said, given what we just all went through for a week, better to just take this thing down.” He also stated that there was a risk to civilian aircraft from the object and that is a reason for the object being taken down. Himes said, “I don’t know a lot. The briefing was pretty summary, my understanding, there have been some briefings in D.C. for various committee

Newly elected Sen. John Fetterman has described his severe hearing disability as causing him to hear the voice of the teacher from the "Peanuts" cartoon when listening to people speak, the New York Times reported. Fetterman suffered a stroke in May 2022 while campaigning for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat, causing him to have cognitive issues, including a problem with auditory processing. The senator, who is in the hospital after experiencing lightheadedness Wednesday, has also struggled to adjust to life in the Senate, given the challenges of recovering from his stroke and the need for technological tools

House Republicans are pushing to bar any person or business associated with the Chinese Communist Party from purchasing agricultural land in the United States, an effort gaining traction on the Hill as lawmakers look to retaliate against China over its spy-balloon incursion. Reps. Dan Newhouse (R., Wash.) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.), alongside more than 40 cosponsors, last week proposed legislation that would prohibit any purchase of public or private agricultural real estate in the United States and its territories by "nonresident aliens, foreign businesses, or any agent, trustee, or fiduciary associated with the Government of the People's Republic of China."

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that an "unidentified object" had been shot down over Canadian airspace on his orders. "I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said on Twitter. Trudeau said that he spoke with US President Joe Biden on Saturday and that Canadian forces will lead the object recovery operation. Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand tweeted Saturday that she had discussed the incident with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "and reaffirmed that we'll always defend our sovereignty together."

President Joe Biden hosted the National Governors Association Winter Meeting in the East Room of the White House Friday, and he couldn’t resist the temptation to toss out one of his trademark not-off-the-cuff quips. “Every time I hear ‘the President of the United States,’ I look around and say, ‘Where the hell is he?’” Biden said. The line apparently failed, as very few in the room laughed and some looked confused or concerned. Watch: Very funny, Joe. Actually, it’s not that funny, and although he’s made similar jests in the past, it points to a larger problem: many don’t believe the President is really in charge—including seemingly himself.

A new government report reveals that the total amount of American soil owned by Chinese investors is nearly twice as large as the entirety of New York City. As the New York Post reports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed in last month’s report on foreign-held land that Chinese buyers currently own at least 384,235 of American land. By contrast, the full expanse of New York City covers just 193,700 acres. Even Bill Gates’ total land ownership is dwarfed by China’s, with just 270,000 acres. Of all the foreign-owned farmland in the U.S., China owns roughly 0.9 percent, or about $1.2 billion worth of land, according to the USDA report.
