July 31, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Something the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists, and National Socialists (as well as the communists) all have in common is envy.

October 7, 2020 Skip

Most Socialists are unhappy with their status in life and have resorted to blaming everyone else. ESPECIALLY those richer than themselves. Especially so when they finally figure out (and that’s not a given) that making other decisions throughout their lives would have been more optimal.

The shroud of socialism won’t be lifted with Bernie’s defeat

March 16, 2020 Peter Lemiska

Democrats and Republicans seem to agree on one thing: Bernie Sanders cannot defeat President Trump in the general election.

by Joseph Mendola | As I drive to work each day, I sometimes see bumper stickers that say “Feel the Bern” – and then I wonder what people think about the consequences of socialism. Socialism is a system of economic policy that says that government is a better allocator of a nation’s resources than the … Read more

Inequality is a Good Thing

June 10, 2019

Justice is an important concept. In all societies it is good from time to time to make an assessment of the justice system.

Social Justice or Socially Just Us

June 9, 2019

Justice… Don’t we all work in our own ways to promote justice? But what exactly is justice? The classical definition is the will to render to a person what is due him.

Jeff Danziger, in an opinion piece for the Fall River Herald News, says as a Vermonter, he knows New Hampshire doesn’t deserve the first in the nation primary.

Redistribution: Helping the Poor

January 18, 2019January 17, 2019

Now that the New Hampshire primaries are over, and the opposing sides have shaken out, I have a couple or three observations about the Democratic Party and the people in it.

After watching their Presidential campaign ads, watching much of their national convention, and studying the faces and words of those people, I have to say that these people are not the Democrats of yesterday….
