Socialism

Liberalism Turned Left…

By Marc Abear

American liberalism is being forced to radicalize. It has moved towards socialism and an increasingly post-modern form of leadership. Our youngest generation is openly embracing socialism. Identity politics with its faith in race, sex, and power as the keys to being and meaning is rising.

The #MeToo movement adopted the credo, “Believe the woman.” That is accepting truth will emerge from yielding to the will of the more politically correct “Her truth,” which is stronger than any objective truth. It rejects the adversarial process of objectively weighing evidence and testimony before the bar of reason. That is a pretty fundamental change from where America started; from where we were after the Civil War.

A fisking of US Senator Jeff Flake on the SCOTUS hearings

Two fortunate things came together – I found the charging cord to my Zoom Q4 camera (literally handsized) and found out that it makes a great camera with which to yank off clips from the TV (DVR’d of course) and that US Senator Jeff Flake decided to show up at St Anselm’s Institute of Politics this past Monday Night.  Of course, WMUR just HAD (in their drift leftward) had to cover this “Conservative” who, they touted, derailed the confirmation of Brett Kavanuagh to the Supreme Court (even if just for a little mite of time).  Of course, Flake is all pleased with himself and he made that quite clear to all.  For not much at all, IMHO; let the fisking begin:

Oh, that picture and “who is that in that red circle?”.  Note to Jeff Flake:

DISQUS Doodlings at Treehugger: “Actually, there is just one key action needed to fight climate change: Vote.” – Part 1

Part 1 – that is, if I can keep myself on target for the rest.  The above quote is the title of a post by Lloyd Alter in stating that there is really only one way to solve the Climate Change crisis – and that is to vote and he goes on to say there are lots of things that can be done, proposes 5 main themes, and then admits that because folks like him and those at TreeHugger have failed to persuade Normal folks like us to voluntarily take up the hairshirt and ditch our cars, get rid of our stuff, live in tiny apartments and have to shop every day for groceries because of small fridges (it’s good for you to be out and talk to your neighbors!) and have to walk everywhere……we’ll use our votes to force Government to force you to live the way we want you to (emphasis mine):

Democrats More Positive About Socialism Than Capitalism

Capitalism vs Gallup PollAs some Democrats look for ways to run away from the reality of their political baggage Gallup comes along and shoots them in the kneecaps.

For the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism.

The problem? The indoctrination is working. But the professional left isn’t ready to come out of the closet quite yet.

Didn’t Wiley E. Coyote used to jump off cliffs as well?

Go ahead, Socialists (there is no such thing as a “Democrat” Socialist just as there are no “Progressives” – they are just all Socialists now as Newsweek once said) feel free to jump off that cliff.  Just remember – we Normals don’t want to go with you.  Just leave us alone.  Go to Venezuela and … Read more

Blogline of the Day – so true, so true

The difference between Russians and Democrats is that Russians rejected socialism.

As seen at the latest Donald Trump rally:
Rather Be Russian than Democrats

Let’s remind people why we split from King George and beat the Redcoats

Make taxation theft again

Only $15 (down from $22.95) – isn’t competition and Capitalism grand?

No, this is not an ad by Libertarian COuntry on the ‘Grok.  Rather, it’s a reminder of how far stalwart Liberty loving Americans (as opposed to the Berni-bros and Ocasio-Cortez’ers slouching to Socialism) were willing to stand up to abusers and oppressors.  Taxation for a limited Government is a necessary evil – having more taken from you just so that those in power believe you aren’t doing the right things with your money so they HAVE to take it from you is both insulting – and theft. The fact that our “public morality” has been so perverted by Progressives such as Steve Marchand, Mark Fernald, and Molly Kelly (just to name three Socialists running as Democrats – but I repeat myself) should be frightening.  You see, no matter HOW much they take from you, it is never enough.

Do Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Supporters Understand Socialism?

UPDATE: THAT was weird!  When I first posted this up, instead of the intended video, it showed Mike’s video of Steve Negron! What the HECK??? It seems fine now but please know Negron is NO fan of Ocasio-No Cortex. Apologies for raising anyone’s blood pressure or morning coffee spewing…

*****************

She is the wonderkid from Queens, NYC that beat 10 time incumbent Crowley (rumored to be the next in line after Pelosi’s demise) on a platform burnished by “Democratic Socialism” (which is to say, no difference than plain socialism except cleaned up and dressed nicely – but same despair underneath).  Here, Campus Reform does the “man in the street” with some rather simple questions to younger voters that are enamored with her and her foreign political philosophy, proving once again they have no real clue other than they LOVE the idea that somebody is going to give them a free ride.

How are we going to pay for them?  Oh, Gawd! When asked about these:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-ism and stances

OK, from my previous post, you know a bit about her political philosophy/campaign stances from this 28-year-old barista with a Boston University double major in International Relations and Economics that is now the Democrat candidate for Congress in NY-14 (Queens)

Sidenote: oh dear, how low has my alma mater dropped in rigor.  They ought to be disavowing her forthwith but I guess the Howard Zinn-sim, Noam Chomskyesque, and the other hard core radical professors have gotten worse over the years. As I continue with her here, I am gratified by my decisions over the years not to give my hard earned monies to this spawning den of everything I find wrong.

Anyways, I digress – let me unpack my pile of stuff here. Just remember that no less a luminary than Tom Perez, Chair of the National Democrat Committee, says “she is the future of the Party”.  Go ahead, keep shoveling that out there!

House Democrats Should Change “Mid-Term Slogan” to ‘We Hate You’

Democrat Party Logo 2015A year ago Congressional Democrats rolled out a tagline for the upcoming midterms. ‘A Better Deal.’ For who? In New Hampshire, if we believe the Democrats around here, that amounts to higher taxes and more regulations. So it’s a better deal for Democrats, lobbyists, and special interests who benefit from higher taxes and bigger government.

Seeing as all those things will come at your expense, it’s never going to be a better deal for you, even if you sign up on one of the victim-class club lists posted by the gate, outside the walled pavilion where the progressive slogan-writers and liberal luminaries do the people’s work.

Do They Sell the Ocasio-Cortez Socialist Makeover ‘Kit’ on QVC?

Alexandria Cortez
Alexandria Cortez YouTube video screen grab

The new face of the Democrat party civil war, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, wasn’t always the stylized portrait of the Socialist we know her as today. A few years ago she was a budding entrepreneur with a different dream.

Sometime between 2011 and 2018, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was transformed from an earnest and nerdy wannabe entrepreneur into a glamorous radical crusader for socialism, the delusion-of-the-moment that has captured the imagination of the malcontent demographic slice of America.

Well, I guess this answers The Question of “what is the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist?”

This is the question that has been around for a while now that many high level Democrats refused to answer.  Now, as we are seeing, they’re fine in coming out of the Communist closet (as it were).  As Steve pointed out, “Democrat Socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her Congressional District Primary in NY by knocking off a long term (and in line,perhaps, to replace Pelosi as the next Speaker of the US House IF the Democrat/Socialists take over the House). Hey, the “Progressive” (actually Socialists) Caucus in the US House is the largest group the Democrats have – and have been advocating for a stealth coup of the US Constitutional values for years. And this weekend, with all of protests of those that patrol and defend our border, the Democrat Left has basically got into everyone’s faces in telling the rest of us we are racists for supporting ICE and the Border police and if you have “evolved” away from American values, the Democrat Socialists of America (that Red Rose below is their logo – it’s red due to all of the Socialist victims that were collateral damage during their Long Marches to Utopias that never existed or attained) are demanding you vote for them:

Data Point – And it wasn’t Socialism that caused this!

“In 1820, 94% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. In 1990, 34.8%, and in 2015, just 9.6%.”

 

…In the last quarter century, more than 1.25 billion people escaped extreme poverty – that equates to over 138,000 people (i.e., 38,000 more than the Parisian crowd that greeted Father Wresinski in 1987) being lifted out of poverty every day. If it takes you five minutes to read this article, another 480 people will have escaped the shackles of extreme of poverty by the time you finish. Progress is awesome. In 1820, only 60 million people didn’t live in extreme poverty. In 2015, 6.6 billion did not.

Why Did Socialist Dem Darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Lie?

Alexandria Ocasio-CortezThe Daily Mail broke a story about Socialist Dem darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She’s the candidate who beat the long-time Democrat incumbent Joe Crowley who was in line for a shot at a Speaker gig if the Democrats took back the House. Well, Alexandria sold herself as a Jenny from the block sort. The kid from a working-class family growing up on the tough streets of Brooklyn.

Not so much.

Vermont Sets aside One Million in ‘Bribes’ to Attract New Residents

Bernie, Barn, VermontThe People running the People’s Republic of Vermont (into the ground) have decided to offer 10,000.00 dollar bribes to the first 100 people who qualify for what they are calling a Remote-Worker Grant Program. To get the cash incentive you have to move yourself and your remote-work job to the Green Mountain State, (and then pay taxes, backstop socialized medicine and other rising welfare costs, along with increasing unfriendly policies towards natural rights including speech, property, and self-defense).

I think they left (most of that) out of the brochure.
