The left seems to trust them, but they instinctively trust lies and just as instinctively reject truth.

I doubt they will ever learn as long as they automatically get a floor of 45% of the vote.

If their floor ever dips below 40%, they may change their ways. The problem is that half their base are certified lunatics.

They don’t care if they are trusted or not. They have accumulated the power....that was their goal. “Progressive Democrats are currently in positions of authority in the White House, halls of Congress, federal agencies, school systems, large corporations, and the legacy media”

It is called Tyranny....not a mistake that they will learn from.

Dems,also known as Rats, don’t learn. They have the instinct of a parasite.

They don’t need to learn anything. They know exactly what they’re doing. This isn’t a matter of incompetence, it’s a matter of malice.

“When will they ever learn”

Have you seen their opposition?

The Democrats will never go away completely because stupid gullible emotionally driven childish people will never go away.

“When will they ever learn?”

If as I suspect, the Progressives are able, by hook or by crook to remain in control of either or both houses of congress this November, they will never learn. At least in this lifetime.

“In 1955, Pete Seeger released the iconic song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?,” which railed against the Vietnam War.”

The time line doesn’t add up.

In 1955, Pete Seeger released the iconic song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," which railed against the Vietnam War.

Given that the Battle of Dien Bien Phu was only fought in the previous year of 1954 between the French Colonial forces and the Viet Minh, this sentence is a bit of mis-history! Better to say that "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" became a Vietnam War protest song in the 1960s.

As for the 'D'onkey Party and learning from history, we NEED TO REALIZE that they have 'learned' and are convinced that what setbacks they may have are minor in comparison to past and future accomplishments! Take this aforementioned Vietnam War as an example. If you ask almost any 'average person' on the street about who was responsible for the Vietnam War, I fear that most would reply President Nixon & the GOP. So the fact that it was JFK & LBJ that buried us into it has been swept from the common memory!

As for more recent history, the 'D'onkey Party has gone from success to success with only the briefest of hiatuses. The Clintons, despite their frequent law-breaks, lies and misconduct, remain respecte'D' and untouched by the LEFT. Ditto with the 'D'ominated SWAMP and its cohorts in the EneMedia, PopCulture, Academia and the intelligensia!

So, as I look at it, the 'D'onkey Party has yet to be humbled or caused to need retrospection. They are proudly progressive towards a utopia that the rest of see as a 'D'isaster and 'D'istopia!

Where have all the flowers gone was not written in 1955 to end/protest the Vietnam War. It was written in protest to nuclear proliferation.

Actually, Red Pete took the words from a Russian novel he had recently read, "And Quiet Flows the Don" and took the melody from an Irish tune, "Johnson Says He'll Load More Hay". Pete was of course reading lots of Russian material in the 1950s.

Like all his commie friends, Pete made the transition from anti-war to pro-war in 1941, when the threat to his precious USSR switched from the US and Western Europe to Germany, but he switched back by 1946 after Germany was dead and anti-communism was again in vogue in our lands.

The song had nothing to do with Vietnam, since it was published in 1955, its original Soviet inspiration was a general "war is terrible" ripoff of All Quiet on the Western Front, the author, Mikhail Sholokhov, may actually been independently creating, in effect, "All Quiet on the Eastern Front".

Anyway, after the stalemate in Korea, OUR commies were really hot and bothered about undermining Western militaries but even more importantly, undermining patriotism and the idea of service, and "Where Have all the Flowers Gone" in 1955 is better understood in that light.

Of course, the Vietnam disaster was rocket fuel for their movement, but the song came before the first "adviser" stepped off the plane.

And now you know the rest of the story. Good day!

When will THEY ever learn??

Should be, when will WE ever learn.

The left has been unbelievably successful in taking control of every single institution.

We could learn a ton from studying and copying how they did it.

When will Republican voters ever learn that some progressives wear R jerseys?

Flimsey Grahamnesty and the rest of the open borders/amnesty Bush League Republicans ARE progressives, despite their R jersey camouflage.

Pretty sure this was not originally an anti-Vietnam song.

Pete Seeger stole that song from...get this...THE UKRAINE! LOL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=where+have+all+the+flowers+gone+ukrainian+Cossack+song&go=Go&ns0=1

Pete wasn’t very orignal, and since he was completely adenda-driven, he had no problem stealing songs to further the “revolution”.

What have Democrats learned? Apparently

To keep power never let the people have it control them to retain their power to them communism and Marxism is a tool that keeps things in order.
Ever notice how many things they keep taking away from the people and the new rules for them to go by.

Comply or die
