If we’re sitting back thinking “everyone” is laughing at her, we’re the stupid ones.

"One perfect example, I think a perfect example of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans in order to just screw over all working-class Americans, is Reaganism in the '80s when he started talking about welfare queens," Ocaiso-Cortez said. "So you think about this image of welfare queens and what he was really trying to talk about was ... this like really resentful vision of essentially black women who were doing nothing that were 'sucks' on our country."

Such rhetorical eloquence has not been seen since Daniel Webster.

I’m hesitant to join the “She’s good for our side” chorus. She may look dumb as a box of rock Star to older co servatives, but she resonates with the young radical kook base. She represents what is going to replace the ancient Dem leaders who are going g to kick off in droves the next few years. She and her ilk are the new leaders; there are zero moderate Dem voices coming up in the ranks.

"Ocasio-Cortez: State Of America Is ‘Garbage, ...’"

AOC needs to quickly get the word to the undocumented Democrats in the caravans about America’s State of garbage so that they can turn around and save themselves some trouble with USA. /sarc

On the other hand, consider this insight by Heather MacDonald on FN LIFE LIBERTY & LEVIN show concerning the corrupt, hypocritical Left burning both ends of the candle regarding undocumented Democrats.

"But you know, what I find so extraordinary is the left in the morning has one narrative, which is that, there no place more oppressive on earth than the United States for people of color. It's just, if you are a person of color in the United States, you are the subject of constant oppression and then in afternoon, says we need every third world person of color to come here. Well, they cannot both be true [emphasis added].” —Heather MacDonald warns US colleges are breeding hate

Tje left hated Reagan and mocked his trickle down economics, but the dems were wrong and Reagan was right.

He pulled us out of a treeible economic time. Ecinomically speaking, those were the best years of my life. For the first time, we bought a home and paid it off in just 2 years. We owned new vehicles. We took vacations, had a nice savings account, and were about to but a second home when tje plant my husband worked for decided to move to Mexico. Thousands were laid off. We never recovered, but at least we didn’t go hog wild into debt.

That American Dream tasted good, so occasional cortex can take her buck-toothed mouth and spew her garbage somewhere else.

The reality was nothing short od a miracle after the lengthy recession we’d been in.

More minorities moved from the fifth economic quintile and into the first (bottom 20% to top 20%) under Boss Ray-Gun than under any other American president.

There are welfare queens and kings who don’t have to work, and who get the equivalent of $40,000 a year in money and benefits, and are still called “poor.” While many people who I know earn less than $40,000, pay 40% of it in taxes, and are still called “non-poor.”

AOC & the left are dying for a race war.

They are as hell bent on taking guns as they are with their satanic baby-killing laws.

Sorry, honey.

We don't buy your lies. There's a divide between those who work, and those who feel entitled to the product of that work, but do not work themselves. Those whose entire worldly experience, economically speaking, is working as a tip-stealing barmaid.

You ain't all that, honey. In fact, you ain't any of that. You're nothing but a buck tooth bimbo-goon.

Welfare Queen was a term originated by the Chicago Tribune in 1976 to describe Linda Taylor who was accused (and convicted) of using nearly 100 names, 30 addresses, and 15 phone numbers to rake in $150,000.00 per year in fraudulent welfare claims.

Candidate Reagan seized on the story to illustrate the incompetence of the welfare system. One of his campaign planks was to root out fraud and waste in government transfer payments. His concern was focused on staunching the outflow, and never related to race.

Oddly, Taylor had the ability to mimic nearly any racial or age group. She presented as white, black, asian, and hispanic at various times. She had a wildly dramatic fashion sense. It would appear that Rep. Frederica Wilson has modeled her aspect after Taylor.

Anywho, it remains that ‘Madam Speaker’ Ocasio-Cortez is; per usual, full of crap.

Whenever I hear anyone talking about Reagan being racist, I remember this little anecdote from Dutch:

"Latest campus scandal. Dutch 'kissing up' (Mary's phrase) to the sons of Ham. He now plays between two naygurs -- Burghardt and Jim Rattan. Last Fri eve the squad arrive at La Salle hotel for the Elmhurst game, mine host took one look into the bus & said 'not' to gentlemen ob' color. Not to their face, but Duth followed Mac into the lobby & cottoned on, so to speak. PDQ Mac was read to sleep the whole team in the bus, but Dutch whispers that Dixon is not far away. 'I'll take the two of them home...no problem.' So Mac slips him the cab fare, and his parents welcome them like Amos 'n Andy. Dutch v. pleased with himself -- thinks naygurs dumb enough to believe it was just a case of 'no room at the inn.'

This was 1931. I can't speak to the author's racial bias, but you've got to respect a young man (Reagan) who would bring two gentlemen of color who had just been refused lodging at a hotel, into his family home to sleep for the night, in those times.

One of the men involved -- Burghardt -- confirmed the story and added "I just don't think he was conscious of race at all."

That's plenty good for me!

"I just don't think he was conscious of race at all."

Ahh, but you see, in today's world, if you aren't conscious of race, that makes you racist, because you don't appreciate the fact the black people endured 400 years of slavery. Being "colorblind" is now considered "racist".

It is a twisted sort of reasoning that brings one to that conclusion...
