It really is something, isn’t it? While Communism was conceived by two Germans, it came to fruition in the new Soviet Union. While it also died in the Soviet Union, it is only because of the anti-American Intelligentsia that it seems to have survived here in the US.

People are unhappier than at any time since data began to be collected. Why is that?
Reuters reports in 2019 “Suicidal thinking, severe depression and rates of self-injury among U.S. college students more than doubled over less than a decade.”
At this point, Bloomberg should consider buying something else
UPDATE: Bloomberg has suspended his run for the Presidency. I knew I kept that picture around for a reason – just not the one I thought I’d be using it for. Michael Bloomberg’s run for the Presidency went bankrupt right at the first debate when Elizabeth Warren put on her Tulsi Gabbard mask and politically … Read more
Honk if you don’t care!
Sorry, I just had to put up this example of Master’s level trolling; The only thing I couldn’t figure out is it the FIRST boat or the SECOND boat with the horn? | Grok Facebook (Follow us)
Data Point – And I thought Bill Binnie had a bad ROI for his NH US Senate campaign years ago!
Was Tom Steyer’s Campaign the Worst in Presidential History? Billionaire spent $3,373 per vote and earned zero delegates. That would be delegates to the Democrat National Committee convention that could vote in the Presidential nomination process. …According to the FEC, Steyer has spent $253,718,074 through January 31, 2020. All but $3,555,597 was from his own pocket. … Read more
The problem isn’t Gun control, it is SELF-control
Again, the chasm between the Left and the Right on this issue is enormous. It can’t and won’t be solved until the root problem is finally admitted to, recognized, and acknowledged. But, I fear, it won’t because it really isn’t about Gun control as the Left is yammering.
Data Point – Democrat Prez Wannabees not Religious
Remember, this is the Party that booed the idea of God being in their Platform during their 2012 Convention. Given that our Founders leaned heavily on Judeo-Christian values as they created our country, that was quite problematic. And this ain’t helping things.
Democrats: Vote Biden! Joe Biden: Up your taxes!
So this is our choice on the Democrat side?
Bernie: I’ll give you all this free stuff but your taxes are going to skyrocket!
Biden: I’m going to do what Democrats do except I’m going to TELL you I’m going to do it, unlike all those others.
Blogline of the Day – there’s a reason behind “Dumbing down”
How modern education has destroyed the next generation’s soul — students are taught self-esteem and sexual promiscuity more effectively than science and civics. Not just their souls – the ability to be leaders. To be able to be rational, thinking citizens. Our education system, by accident or deliberately, has gone to a side rail. We … Read more
Step Up Parents: A TRUE Case of Christian Charity from the Heart
I have railed for years that most “charities” aren’t anymore – they no longer canvas their friends or the public for funds in which to turn around and help others in need but Step Up Parents is not one of those.
I wonder if they taught the guy (getting the blindfold and hands behind the back) how to read his death sentence?
I wonder if they taught the guy (getting the blindfold and hands behind the back) how to read his death sentence? Bernie, you liked Fidel and Raul AND Che – help us out here. Could that victim read before they shot him? Oh, he could?
Quick Thought – The Fix is officially in by the DNC. Break out the popcorn!
With Steve reporting that Amy Klobuchar has hung up her Prez Wannabee campaign sneakers, what was in the background is now in the open. The question imperative is WHY did both Buttigieg and Klobuchar line up behind Biden and not Bernie? Especially Buttigieg – with his earlier thesis praising Bernie on ideological points, his articulation … Read more
Communism: So, Bernie-Bros NH State Rep Jan Schmidt and Bruce Currie can understand
Here, let me make it easy for them (and their ilk) by using just three pictures to show the three main stages of getting to Communism.
Speaking of Democrats who Claim they aren’t Socialists…
As I have said for years, don’t pay attention to their words, pay attention to what they’ve done. Especially Bernie Sanders. (H/T: Powerline)
Harvey Weinstein: Hollywood’s moral compass
Yeah, tell me how good that “moral compass” works for the rest of us. (H/T: Powerline)
Quick Thought – Contra all the Dems, the CDC budget wasn’t cut by Trump
We’re used to hearing rants when they get the percentage raise in a government body budget (e.g., some govt budget only gets a 3% raise instead of the 5% proposed one). They holler, “CUT! CUT!, they CUT my budget!”
Another example of the Left perverting our common language: Sanctuary City
I’ve been railing (wailing?) for a while about how the Left is perverting our language right out from underneath our lips. Like Transgender – a word of the Left. We should be calling it by its actual name ALL the time: gender dysphoria.
You are More Likely to be Struck by Lightning Than be Injured in a School Shooting
When I took a statistics class in college, the first book we were assigned was “How To Lie With Statistics” by Darrel Huff (1954). The focus was how numbers can be managed and massaged to seem to make them lean in the direction you would like your readers to lean.
Senator Cindy Rosenwald, does that mean that the State will pay for me to exercise MY Rights, too?
Alternative title: Democrats: Rights, Entitlements – what’s the difference? Democrats don’t want you to think about differences. There are BIG differences and Grokster Beth, over on the Nashua Politics Page, made a challenge over this statement made by NH State Senator Cindy Rosenwald in this specific topic of, once again, Democrats deliberately maldefining common words … Read more
The heart of a socialist is long – and always gets broken
BUMPED: from APRIL 17, 2016. I was searching for something else (there’s a lot that turns up with over 36,000 posts in here) but came across this about New Harmony – America’s SECOND run at Socialism (the Plymouth Pilgrims were first, IMHO) that failed horribly because all attempts at Socialism fail. Why? There will NEVER be “the right people to implement” because they refuse, unlike our Founders, to recognize that we humans can’t (or won’t) be “evolved”. They view us as mere parts of their “social machine” to be moved around as THEY want. Have a read because BERNIE SANDERS!
***************
If you are always reading, you will learn something new all the time! And this I didn’t know, that socialism (and the tendency of Progressives to try (force?) to “perfect” others arrived here on our shores much earlier than the late 1800s in this piece labeled “The Character of a Socialist” (emphasis mine, reformatted):
Upon initial inspection, Bernie Sanders’ near monolithic appeal to America’s youngest voters is perplexing. Why would the first generation of the 21st Century gravitate toward a living relic of the 20th Century who has made it his objective to rehabilitate the very worst idea of the 19th Century? Some say that it is a lamentable aspect of the modern age that history is poorly taught, and its lessons must be eternally relearned. The appeal of Bernie Sanders-style socialism may, however, have as many roots in the simple absence of a degree of prudence and wisdom, qualities that cannot be conferred in a classroom.
Nope, sometimes you need “failure experience” – something that these youngers haven’t had the time to get (and still quite full of themselves to boot).
