Ocasio-Cortez once saw herself as Smithian capitalist, viewed feminism as 'relic' (Title Mod)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist congressional candidate from New York who touts honesty and authenticity as her greatest strengths, used to describe herself as a follower of Adam Smith, the so-called father of capitalism -- and said that terms like “feminism” and “empowerment” were “relics from the past.”

Thank you for mentioning the newly expanded anti-Semitism of the Dem.-Socialists.
When the films Exodus and the Ten Commandments were first run the Dems were sympathetic to Jews. Not any longer. Shocking hypocrisy.

If anyone is a “refugee” “seeking asylum” and then founding their own country rather than swarming to take welfare and medical care from the US welfare system it is the Jews from 1948 to today. I know, our money for missiles and defense money from US (but otherwise the Muslims would have killed them all a long time ago. God Forbid).

Now since 6 children each to a Muslim woman in America (!!!!) is the average, and swarms of Muslims and Latinos coming in to vote, the Dems toss the Jews to the curb.
I pray that it doesn’t get worse. Trump supporters and Jews may be on the hit list when the violent left goes into full bore destruction mode soon.

I am one of the 24% of Jews who voted for Trump and I was with him from the escalator onward,including having to ask for the Michigan Republican primary ballot at the polling place with 80% Dems (our area’s voting average) glaring at me.

It is high time for naïve and misguided Jews to go all out for Trump NOW. Are they waiting for the Sanders and Ocasios to send them to camps? Wake up and support Trump.

You’re welcome, and I have been trying to broadcast this information far and wide, as small of a platform and microphone as I have. I have always, and always will, support the Jewish people and Israel. Part of that support is because of my fundamentalist Christian belief, which support I know is not always necessarily welcome to some Jewish people. But I support them, nonetheless, nothing can change that.

And Britain’s Labour Party has become blatant in its anti-semitism, and as far as I can tell, unapologetic.

I am always reading, when lurking on DU, about how can they hone their message. They admit that most American people do not want to follow where they want to lead, if they were truthful about their agenda. They are always studying as to how they can refine their message, because they can’t speak the plain truth. It infuriates them that Donald Trump, for instance, can just say what he believes, in plain English. They call that being “inarticulate”.

That, amongst other reasons, is part of the reason for their constant attempts to change the meaning of language and which words are allowable.

This creepy, bug-eyed socialist is but a flutter in the bright lights.

She will flame-out quickly.

Her best bet is to keep her mouth shut.

The donkey comparison doesn't quite work for me. The donkey looks friendly, not scary. Ocasio-Cortez, OTOH, with the crazy eyes and canine teeth reminds me of this....

Break out the Holy water, stay in the sunlight, don't invite her in the house...

The donkey comparison was to the iconistic political icon of the democRATS, the donkey.

And the head of the DNC says she's the future of the donkey party.

Besides she's not as beguiling as the sharp-toothed empress in your image.

Apparently she's dumb as rocks, like Barbra Boxer. And her eyes make her look like Marty Feldman's long-lost grand, grand niece. Not so much the vampirish look of your gal.

More of a toothy smile with a look in her eyes that says, "There's no intellect in here. I'm dazzled by the attention but I don't know what I'm talking about."

I'll admit the vampiris I chose looks better than her from a flesh point of view. I could have just as easily used this comparison:

She couldn’t describe Adam Smith’s philosophy if her life depended on it. What a low information jerk she is.

I'm thinking that's more what she's like. Ditzy. Dingy. Dumb.

Economics major in college and she doesn't understand economics? Now that's really dumb.

Speaking of the movie “Exodus”-I just looked on both Amazon Prime and iTunes to see if they have it-neither one does. I find that a bit suspicious, as it’s hardly some cult film, and has a lot a big name stars in it-Paul Newman and Eva Marie St, just for starters. I own the movie, so I’m going to re- watch it, but it’s awfully odd that neither of the big movie download services offers it.

Al Kooper who played on albums by Jimi Hendrix,Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, pleaded with young people “Don’t give away your ownership of music to the company decisionmakers who set up downloads and now streaming. True.

Now they and the CD and DVD successors don’t allow physical ownership. Thus they can someday say “No music by women who do not dress modestly and follow Sharia Law.” “No books for readers to access if they are by forbidden hate speech authors such as Winston Churchill,William F. Buckley,Mark Levin,Rush Limbaugh,Laura Ingraham et al.” “No films or books by Laura Ingalls Wilder or Mark Twain or other KKK racists.”

Don’t tell anyone your address so no one can come in and take your DVD and CD collection if Ocasio and David Hogg disagree with them.

Absolutely true. My husband never held with “digital format” for music and movies, and I began building my CD collection decades ago, also movies on VHS and DVD. I hold onto the VHS because a lot of silent films haven’t turned up yet on DVD, nor a lot of early talkies (like “Paramount On Parade”, “Hollywood Revue of 1929”, etc) and some movies (such as “Daisy Kenyon” with Joan Crawford) seem to have ongoing copyright problems, so I got a DVD version of it somehow (years ago, on ioffer, actually).
