CNN got busted by Project Veritas, and now it’s ABC’s turn. Washington correspondent, David Wright, an admitted socialist, was recorded exposing the blatant partisan nature of ABC’s reporting. His reward for this unwanted honesty was a suspension.

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).
Notable Quote – Richard Wagner
A word to Bruce Currie, a frequent liberal commenter here at the ‘Grok whokeeps on insisting that a marketplace can ONLY exist with Government overseeing and regulating it. So, how is it possible for democracy to conflict with liberty? Democracy is a scheme for governing human interaction. But so is liberty, which is a system … Read more
I Have a #Woke Solution to Megan Rapinoe’s Soccer Salary Gender Discrimination Row
Women Soccer Players have sued the League for paying women less than men to play professional soccer. As an American, I could care less, but since one of the “front men” for this exercise is angry-lesbian culture warrior Megan Rapinoe I feel compelled to comment.
Making Gasoline Cost More Won’t Stop the Natural Geologic Process of Vertical Land Motion…
Sea Level Rise Fraud is a thing. Regular readers will be familiar. It’s an issue the left thinks will activate “regular people” to support their mass-confiscation of their incomes. Which in the northeast, when it comes up, should always be followed with this question.
And you don’t think that the country is having an ideological split?
Sure thing, Democrat Prez Wannabees – there ain’t no way, no how, that you can “unite” the country. You’re all so Left you might as well be stationing yourselves off the mainland and in the Pacific. Do you really thing that just because you would be King Queen an Imperial President that those of us … Read more
And the Democrat Party finally returns to its ideological Founder
Yep, that’s right. At least now. When you see the bills they are trying to pass in both Concord and DC, you know from whence they came. A Constitutional Republic depends on a number of things but most of all, adherence to The Rule of Law, Equality before the Law, the Right to Private Property, … Read more
ICYMI: The Most Important 20 Seconds of the 2/19/20 Democratic Debate
Here’s an informative 20 second exchange regarding how the Democrats plan to govern our country.
Thoughts on the Democrat bat-wielding, shiv-shoving, face-slapping slugfest Debate. HAPPY TIMES!
30 seconds into it, I was already crying from laughter. THIS was a Democrat version of the WWE’s WrestleMania. Verbal fists were flying, back kicks were landing in nether regions – everyone finished with black&blues, scratches, and more than a few limping off the stage. As a Conservative, it was GLORIOUS! No, I didn’t watch it … Read more
Bernie’s Energy Plan For America Will Cost a Paltry $160,000 Per family Before Inflation, Job Loss, Rising costs…
Bernie Sanders has a plan. Most Democrats do. To convert us to a green economy. They call it that because of all the “green” they’ll need to confiscate to make it happen. Sanders’s plan will cost 16 trillion. That means it’s more like 56 Trillion, but let’s pretend.
Socialism Inevitably Leads to Absolute Rule by Elites
Can anyone be more self-deluded than those who refuse to learn from history? Even when facts are right before them, they insist on denying them. Consider ANTIFA, supposedly against fascism, yet they employ the exact tactics of the Nazi SA (Brown Shirts) did in Germany.
Climate Alarm Fail Two-Fer: Sharpley Reduced Rice Yields and a Snowless Kilimanjaro by 2020
The point of these posts on Leftardian Climate Voodoo is not to deny that the climate changes. It does. But not because of you and certainly not for them. No one bets their own money on these things it is always your money for a reason. These “experts” can’t predict a damn thing.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Inadvertently Makes STRONG Pro 2nd Amendment Statement
While summarizing the results of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates debate in Manchester last night, MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews criticized socialism and the tyranny that comes from it. He attacked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for identifying as a socialist, and praised Sen. Amy Klobuchar for being brave to raise the issue: “She had the guts to … Read more
Better To Rule in Hell Than Serve in Heaven
Did you watch the State of the Union speech? The context of the speech was a bit surreal when one considers that the members of the Senate present to hear this address would be voting the next day on whether to convict and remove the President from office.
Blogline of the Day – Shush, don’t tell the Democrat Prez wannabees – Communism fails yet again
WHEN COMMUNISTS GET DESPERATE ENOUGH TO TRY CAPITALISM: Socialist Venezuela Proposes To Privatize Its Collapsing Oil Industry. I’m not sure why this lesson is never learned. I guess it’s just history that no longer exists because if history WAS studied, nobody would EVER let them near the levers of Power ever again. The Soviet Union never … Read more
Washington State ‘Free College’ Promise Collapsing Before it Gets Started
Giving away other people’s money is the foundation of Democrat Party Politics. You’ve been wronged, give us power and we’ll make sure someone else pays to “fix it.”
The Rage of the Democrats
What underlies the rage of the Democrat Party and of the leftist Democrat Establishment vis-a-vis President Donald Trump? Over forty years ago, during my high school years in Iran, my father and I had a conversation. He was an avid Republican, even though he lived on the other side of the world. Right before I … Read more

Sanders Advocate AOC Admits “YOU! Need to Give Up Control and Power” (to Them).
If I have said anything, it is that the Left only cares about power. If you help them, they will pretend to be your advocate until they have power and can ignore you. If not, you are the enemy and must be defeated. Socialism doesn’t work any other way, and AOC just admitted as much.
