And some people think schools don’t teach progressive ideas and politics.Far to many progressive teachers in the system,guess how many love Obama&Co.
Welcome to FR, blogger Mark Mayberry.
Good report Mark Mayberry! Thanks for being there...and WELCOME ABOARD here!
Generation WE...another collective in a coalition of collectives. It’s how they roll over us and demand things from us. We, the collectives of the United States of America...
Thanks for naming names of the usual socialists (Muhammad Yunus...that’s a new one to watch).
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
Hi! I see you just joined FR and this is your first post.
Why don’t you post your article in full, just to show all your new found FRiends here that you’re really not just another pimp looking to get hits off of FR’s great traffic?
If you posted your whole blog here, I would read it.
Kids love it because kids have nothing. When you have nothing, the idea of everybody sharing what they have sounds pretty good.
When kids think of sharing they mean they want to play with your toys and have some of your candy. It is rare for a kid to offer his stuff to another.
They say that children are the future but they soon become adults and by that time another generation comes along and now it’s still all about the children. Then THEY become adults and STILL, it’s ALL about the children. Do you see how that works?
They haven’t lived under real communism. Wait until they can’t drive a car, use their cell phones, watch a movie, watch tv, talk on the phone, go to the mall, be with their friends.
Wait until they have to march together, live together, no real school, not enough to eat and no heat, a/c etc.
Most of them will fall out of love with socialism soon after they start getting pay checks....
How About What’s Fair for the Middle Class?

Everyone running for president has been talking about what’s fair in this country. The Democrats claim that the rich aren’t paying their fair share. Republicans say that it’s not fair to burden small businesses with an even higher tax load.
But forget the folks at the top and the bottom for a second.
How about the folks in the middle? It’s always the middle-class taxpayers who get squeezed. And they never have the lobbyists or the advocacy groups speaking out for them.
On college tuition, for example, the rich can afford the bills, the poor get the freebies, and the middle class gets squat. On health care, the rich get the golden benefits, the poor get Medicaid, and, again, the middle class have to go in hock to pay the bills.
And we all know if Obamacare ever gets fully implemented, it won’t be “free”...somehow the middle class will end up paying the lion’s share of the extra costs.
And now we just got another example of how this system is unfair to the middle class. The average school teacher in America makes $56 an hour, which is about double what the average taxpayer makes. When I was teaching junior high about 30 years ago, teachers made significantly less than the average taxpayer. Now it’s double. And depending on the city, a similar pay differential is often true for cops, transit workers and even garbage men.
What the heck happened? A system in which public servants are paid a lot more than the taxpayers who fund them is not only unfair…it’s unsustainable.
Of all the unfairness in this country, it’s the unfairness of dumping on the middle class that has to be stopped first, no matter which candidate or which party comes into power.
Why have you excerpted your own blog?
Is there objectionable content? Porn? Scientology?
Hey Everyone,
Thank you for all of you posts and I am glad you read my article. Thank you for your time. I must apologize for only posting part of it. I thought thats what you were supposed to do with it. I will post my articles in their entirety on here from now on.
Thanks,
Mark
Children are natural small-c communists - they reside in a collective to which they contribute very little or nothing, garner attention and personal needs by crying and shouting, subsist on largesse they come to regard an entitlement, and believe if they are not happy something systemic is wrong and needs to be changed. Most devotees of pop socialism are, in many senses, children who never had to grow up.
Real intellectual defenders of Marxism have certain of the same conceptual issues: it is, after all, the work of seconds to demonstrate that there is injustice in the world, and Marxism provides a mental framework within which a cause is ascribed and an easily identified population may be blamed (and against whom action, often violent and always emotionally satisfying, may be taken). It's a perfectly workable descriptive model that fails to be anything more than that because of a shortage of congruences with the real world. It's the picture of a garden a child paints and then finds that she can't plant real food in it.
Not that they don't try. But there are real people in the real world that are something more than units of a collective, and they bleed real blood. Make-believe needs to stop when that happens. For a Marxist, make-believe never stops.
And with that (seeing how you’ve asked that your posting be complete) A hearty welcome to FreeRepublic.
Now we can talk about what you’ve written.
