They’re getting what they voted for, why complain?

But, they are also voting me into slavery and poverty.

It’s not just Sanders who wants this, even skeezy RINO’s like McCain, Kasich, Bush, and Boehner want this eventually.

Yes, we are both right. I also posted this in post #40 although I made a mistake in my italics off HTML.

I’m sorry to say it, but this is isn’t a bad thing.

Human memory is short, and the human impetus towards political fantasy and tyranny is strong.

We seem to need an on-going, socialist disaster in motion at all times to keep us lucid to the dangers collectivism always poses. Like teachers pointing out the drug-addicted kid in your class who overdosed to keep everyone else way from drugs.

No “precision long-distance .50cal BMG riflemen” in that country, anymore. Sad.

Colombia’s economy grew by 3%,in comparison.Looks like the countries that went to the far-left,in Latin America,got royally screwed.Probably wouldn’t be the smartest to keep electing leftists.

This is what awaits us if Sanders is elected.

We may not have to wait that long. If the water at the dam gets too low Obama is likely to blame it on evil Republicans and global warming and thus spend another zillion U.S. dollars for his socialist friends.

I can’t imagine anyone building turbines where they’d likely be nationalized, but like power plants in Arizona built to sell power to California, the market might find a way if allowed to.

The Constitution does not give socialist idiots the right to vote away my freedom. The left disagrees and think they are god. I have a god test. Hitler failed.
