With its utopian quest for a society cleansed of all traces of bias or inequality and its politicization of everything from art to family life, social-justice leftism is in some ways the modern heir to 20th-century communism. While it does not command totalitarian regimes, its effect on Western liberal institutions — especially the media and … Read more
Gorka, speaking at the CPAC conference in National Harbor, Md., on Thursday, said the Democrats’ Green New Deal is: “a watermelon,” because it’s “green on the outside” and “deep, deep red communist on the inside. According to the amazing Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, they did a poll last year in which they found that 52 … Read more
Bernie Sanders has announced. He is running for President. Sorry, he isn’t JUST running for President. “Our campaign is not only about defeating Donald Trump,” the 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist said in an email to supporters. “Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.”
By David Scott: Who is it that disagrees with some of the issues presented in the State of the Union message by President Donald Trump on February 5, 2019? The silence of the 4 members of the NH delegation to Congress of the King Herod approach of Democrats was disturbing to me. The smirk of … Read more
(H/T: Powerline) AOC – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the illiterate economics / foreign relations alumnus from my alma mater and monster Democrat Socialista
BY Rodger Paxton Even though some research studies make you say “We knew that already!”, our side can use them as indisputable evidence against the horrors of big government. Living under communism makes countries poorer and less healthy for decades, according to a recent landmark study. Researchers testing historical connections between cultures found that whether a … Read more
Yeah, this Treehugger post on Einstein hating capitalism is gonna be a gold mine for blogging fodder. Even as I write this, the neo-socialist-enviros are pushing back on the Freedom to transact voluntarily (e.g. Capitalism). Another pick at the pot by Brian who, along with most there, hates the idea of the fruits of Capitalism: … Read more
In a discussion on assessing 100 years of communism, Carlos Eire a Yale history and religious studies professor and an immigrant from communist Cuba said, “it is possible to speak of communism…as a religion” and one “governed by bad theology.” In the “unforgiving” communist religion, Eire posited, the “oligarchy becomes the priesthood,” and the government becomes … Read more

After all, it made them feel better about themselves in lusting after “a higher status in life” than they’d ordinarily have. Still do. They just keep forgetting about what happened when their lifespan of being useful idiots is over (re: The Long March). (H/T: Powerline)
With all This Talk about Cultural Appropriation when is someone going to start focusing on how the Democrat party has appropriated (or been appropriated) by secular-humanist-socialist-Marxism?
It’s not American. It contradicts most, if not all the cultural foundations or tenents of our nation. So, why does the modern Democrat party, its politicians, and their mouthpieces, get away with appropriating a late 18th-century Euro-Russian worldview and forcing it down our throats?
Mike Rogers joins me to discuss the ongoing effort by the professional left to make America unexceptional. There’s even a nod to Austin Powers in there if you can find it.
On a Firefox tab somewhere, I have a couple of posts I wish to comment on this very topic (just can’t seem to find them today) – that America can turn into a Tyrannical Government (especially if Progressives succeed in doing away with the Constitution – the ONLY bulwark we citizens have against an overreaching government. And within that Constitution is the last resort of Citizens: the Second Amendment.
Think I’m crazy? Ask someone whose “Democratic government” was overtaken by those that promoted a “safer, more secure” future than the government at the time about the need for its Citizens to protect themselves – and a Free State:
Progressives often wish that we forget our history. They also want to us to be ignorant of the history of other countries where their philosophy has been tried before – and failed. Yes,
Here’s a nifty quiz: Which world leader is the following quote referring to? “He could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama…
“It seems obvious to me now–though I have been slow, I must say, in coming to the conclusion–that the institution of private property is one of the main things that have given man that limited amount of free-and-equalness that Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution. Strangely enough, Marx was the first to … Read more
“America’s wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy. Yes, in socialism the rich will be poorer — but the poor will also be poorer. People will lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs.”
A refugee from socialistic Hungary during the Cold War, Thomas Peterffy knew not just the economic ills of such a system but the moral decay of the human spirit of such a system. This is the system that Obama and the other Democrat Socialists of America wish to put upon this nation. Equality is one thing – under the law as the Founders believed true Freedom must have. But they are looking to have a forced material equality, a forced “opportunity” equality, which forces the State to not promote equality for some but rather, establishes a faux equality by removing that very same freedom from “those that do not deserve it” or from those “that are fortunate” or those “that have more”. In short, taking from those that have actually used the opportunity that America (til now) has afforded to everyone.
This is a quote from Peter Hof, an historian and author of “Our Century,” discussing the human attraction of otherwise sane human beings to statism in the form of the political Left:
The rhetoric of the Left is always beatific, romantic, and idealistic. But when we look around the world, whether at present or historically, the Left is consistently our worst nightmare — a horrific collection of all-powerful, centralized governments. Beginning with the Soviet Union…
Unions being Unions: Angry socialists and communists Union leaders in Wisconsin promise that the fight to destroy capitalism will continue. We knew that, but thanks for sharing. It’s nice to be able to remind the people who may have forgotten or never knew what your real mission was.
When I put up the video of Dana Loesch and Jim Hoft, I totally forgot about a real important point until I went back to GatewayPundit to check on something (emphasis mine):
It seems like it was just yesterday that I broke the news here on Gateway Pundit that Van Jones signed 9-11 Truther documents blaming Bush for 9-11. This revelation forced Obama’s Green Czar to resign from his position in the Obama White House two days later. They talked about Van’s departure on FOX News at the time.
So it was a real pleasure to finally meet commie Van Jones.
In addition to Nat Healy and Dr. Joe Tarta, there were three more speakers:
