Result of taking history, civics, government courses out of the curriculum and let the liberals insert their ‘fluff’ courses instead...it’s taken quite a while but the results are in...kids today know nothing of history, geography, or any of the so-called social science courses which were required years ago.
I REALLY can seeAOC running ng a country ... just not ours, I hope!
The hungry socialists of Venezuela invite the tasty Americans for dinner.
Wait until the freeloading bitches get their Socialism. Capitalism won’t be coming back and your freedom is toast.
It was the original slave states that voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution. They were not external enemies.
Those slave states were: New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Maryland.
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia were also slave states. We must always cast 4/13ths responsibility in that direction.
I guess the author was not a critical thinker.
I know many educated workers who are leftists. Don’t they know that they have jobs so they are considered oppressors and those who don’t work are oppressed and will kill them under Marxism?
The Constitution protects us from such totalitarian schemes. If the government tries this then they have broken their treaty with the people and the people should not be expected to be bound to the government laws anymore. That is how a civil war between the gun owners and the transgenders starts.
A sobering read.

The left has been laying this rail for at least 100 years- and here comes the train. These young people have absolutely NO idea what socialism is or what it does to a society, but they will learn the HARD way. It’s going to be a hard lesson.
Lazy and do not want to work, easily accepting
But government has never been, and never will be, the source of the solution. Government is incapable of creating anything. The most we can hope for is for government to protect private property and individual rights. The solution for sustaining and enhancing life has to come from people themselves. At the end of the day, people either want and yearn for freedom, or they don’t. If they don’t yearn for it, they will let it go. They will rationalize that “there’s nothing wrong with a little socialism to make life easier” while taking it for granted that all the well-being we know from capitalism will melt away with the emergence of socialism. They don’t have the mindset to consider the contradiction, because it’s too much to think about. It’s better just to go with what feels right, and that’s the end of it.The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.
Showing the lack of delayed gratification, socialists chant, "When do we want it? Now!" But if they had taken over, for instance, in the 1960s, Americans would have never been able to enjoy such "human rights" as free Internet, free cell phones, or free disposable diapers. Americans would be living today the way we lived in the USSR around the 1980s. There would be no affordable personal computers, tablets, eBooks, iTunes, Google, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter.
Socialists are mere critics, unable/unwilling to do the work they criticize others’ failure to execute to perfection.
- From Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech at the Sarbonne:
- There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
