“All Power to the Soviets!”
Hitler and Stalin weren’t really bad guys. They were just born in the wrong century. They’d be heroes today with the liberal, “smart phone” crowd.
All democracies eventually crumble into a dictatorship.
Our job is to insure when they happens the dictator is on our side :)
“Ever noticed how much landlords blow? They don’t really do anything to earn their money. “
Yes, as we all know, someone just gave them the building and they are not responsible for anything and assume no risk at all. They just do it for their health.
As the daughter of some who tried their hands at landlording, I immediately dismissed anything the rock-music-gossiper says on his asinine comments.
Interestingly, I see almost no longing for a totalitarian on the right, even someone who would actively promote our cause.
We just aren’t all that trusting of power.
Of course it is. While other nations seem to be going more center-right, we have gone far left. As the Lord says, He will separate the goats to the LEFT and HIS sheep to the RIGHT. That has always to me something. And He is sitting at the RIGHT HAND of the Father, not the left.
Definitely read the whole article. This guy’s a really good writer. I think he expresses these points in simple ways even the low-fos could understand.

Because its worked so well in the past. /sarc
We already have examples of the government-controlled housing that the author pines for. They are called housing projects, and they are typically run-down, dirty, and crime-infested. Yeah, let’s just extend that model to everybody and make it mandatory.
Bump
Feed ‘em to the dogs.
Time for this gubamint to go on Uncle NorK’s diet.
What is to be done?
Peace! Land! Bread!
Landlords blow? What is this idiot talking about?
My wife and were owner/landlords for three separate houses for almost ten years. We did all of the management and maintenance ourselves while holding down full-time jobs. On occasion it was like having three full-time jobs. Tenants would give notice or be slow paying the rent or not pay at all and we had to look for new renters. Plumbing would back up, roofs would leak, appliances went on the blink, landscaping needed attending to, carpets replaced, inside and outside needed painting, refrigeration/furnace units wouldn’t work right, and in one house, the swimming pool needed cleaning and cared for every weekend. And, of course, the mortgage needed to be paid no matter what, and taxes paid to the county because the property was not owner-occupied. It is a lot of hard, tedious work to be a landlord and take care of your asset.
So, for this wannabe communist to say that landlords don’t do anything for their money, he can go F**K himself where the sun don’t shine. He obviously knows not of what he speaks.
Bttt for later
What these misguided common liberals don't understand is there's VERY FEW slots at the top for tyrants and they'll be the folks 'paying for Obamacare' or in this case filling up concentration camps to satisfy quotas.
If they could, the leftists in government, media and academia would indeed go on a massive Stalinesque death and gulag spree in a New York minute. We’re talking tens of millions dead, if they could get away with it. Pelosi and Reid and the rest would be joyfully loving the human gore.
We’re that close.
A lot of radical, anti-capitalism sentiment originated during the period of 1850-1900, the age of so-called “robber barons.” What actually occurred during that fifty year period was actually the greatest increase in wealth of all Americans. Communists will always raise the ugly ogre of envy...somebody has a dollar more than you do, and that’s not right. They never give up.
Ah yes, the politics of envy. So easy to be played in a culture that is so self-absorbed, narcissistic, truly uneducated and let’s not forget immoral. What could go wrong?
