Can America Fight Off the Socialist Mind Virus?
IWB ^ | Daniel Carter

Posted on 02/06/2019 2:58:13 PM PST by davikkm

In the early 1990’s, the famous biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an essay entitled Viruses of the Mind. In this essay, Dawkins describes religion as a mind virus that spreads from human to human for the sake of its own survival.

Think whatever you want about Dawkins or his theories on religion. I personally think religion has become much less of a threat than political ideology since The Enlightenment period, which is why I will attempt to apply his mind virus theory to what I consider the biggest ideological threat to American values, socialism.

Here are a few symptoms that Dawkins believes are exhibited by the “faith-sufferer” (i.e. a person with the mind virus):

I think that old atheist made up that stupid non-word, “meme.”

Ridicule the believers. Get in their faces for being so stupid. They deserve to treated like the scum they are.

Almost no chance. The socialists have a stranglehold on the imbecile factories that graduate a new crop every May. They have a stranglehold on the military except for the most direct combat arms. They have a stranglehold on the bureaucracy of the Ferral Government. DC went 91% for Hillary. The Manhattan district with so much banking and media presence was 86% Hillary.

All of the engines of control in our society are almost pure revolutionary socialist.

A good first start would be to pull all kids out of the Public Indoctrination Centers. Second would be the elimination of the department of education.

Shooting liberal teachers would be a nice, feel-good act.

It's going to be tough... That's all they've been teaching at the schoolhouse for the last twenty-five years...
That's where liberals come from... :(

From movie battleground:
We must never again let any force dedicated to a super-race, or a super-idea, or super-anything become strong enough to impose itself upon a free world. We must be smart enough and tough enough in the beginning to put out the fire before it starts spreading.

One of Trump’s unsung accomplishments is that he is getting the immigrants, especially the Hispanics, to realize the reason they migrated to America is to be part of the celebration of liberty and freedom and the to be part of the wealth and good living generated by free, capitalistic enterprise. They inherently know the failure of the socialism and endemic corruption they fled. Unfortunately a significant percentage of the native population has gone daff. If the nation is to survive and prosper it is critical that the immigrant population and the black population come to this realization. This might be Trump’s greatest accomplishment. His celebration of liberty and freedom and his denouncement of socialism during the SOTU resonated in groups the Democrats has taken for granted.

Imagine if the Dims had even a hint that immigrants were beginning to lean conservative—and they are. The collective Dim head would explode and a wall would be built so fast it would defy belief.

When you really think about, we are already a Socialist country.

We have been the frogs put in a pot of water and slowly boiled to death without even realizing it.

“Can America Fight Off the Socialist Mind Virus?”

Better question: Have you ever walked into a liberal bar and tried to pick a fight?

If you have, the first question gets answered as a big, fat yes.

About the only thing we have going for our side, is that we can feed ourselves. And their final moves against us would be too dangerous.

So we are in a Mexican standoff. They can’t get at us, and they can’t eat without us.

Absolutely. 5.56 changes all sorts of socialist and communist minds at the right elevation and windage.
