Just another example of this truth...
If Russia were still the USSR the Dems would be celebrating Trump not trying to impeach him.

“Fooling people is essential to Dems success at the polls.”

That is so 90’s, Freee-dame! They rely on early and continual voting to fraudulently steal elections now. If we do not ensure this stops before the 2020 election, we will lose Wisconsin, Florida and Michigan. (Pennsylvania? It is weird enough, who knows whether fraud accounts for their voting or not! LOL!)

She took something so simple, that is, President Trump hates socialism, has no time for it, and turned it into a 1M word document which I have not read, but which makes no sense at all except to another lame-brain “progressive”...
which is why I didn’t read it.

In the 50s they laughed at William F. Buckley, Richard Nixon and others for saying Stalin and Soviets had agents here undermining us, sabotaging us and leaking our secrets-—while Stalin was a harmless old uncle over there. Black singer Paul Robeson and Pete Seeger supported the Commies.Later: tens of millions were found to have been deliberately sgarved to death in the Soviet Union by diversion of food trucks and trains away from opposition held areas Stalin hated. Also death camps and murder squads killing millions. Some uncle.

More laughs to come: silly American right wingers believed Mao was a mass murderer and so was Fidel Castro. Folk singers,movie stars, night club comics, college teachers and columnists laughed at the stupid alarmist conservatives. Little Red Book Mao books popular on campuses. The right wingers were right; tens of millions were killed by attacks within China and against Tibetans and others by Maoists.

The anti-Trump laughter at these NPR cocktail parties and CNN gatherings of the elites must be deafening. They will see how wrong they, too, were about the commies.

So “Socialism” is just a scare word. Yes. Hmmm. But the Social Democrats themselves make loud use of it, proclaim themselves socialists and promote classic socialist programs and concepts..

Wake up, Mara. You’ve been asleep for 30 years. Understand that you have ALWAYS been a dimwit. Commie Rats are screaming “Socialism!!!” at the top of their lungs.

You are either very stupid, which is a distinct possibility, or you are a devious, lying co-conspirator, or maybe a little of both.

So if you werent alive in the Cold War you never felt the evil influence of socialism. I wasnt alive in WW2,yet I know the evils of Nazism and Japanese militarism. I wasnt alive in 1795 yet I know the evil of The Terror. I wasnt alive in the 20s yet I know the harm done by unchecked organized crime and govt corruption. What Mara is saying though she may not be aware is the millenials are uneducated, ignorant, self entitled jerks.

“National Propaganda Radio has to try to spin the truth that socialism fails every time it is tried.”

It does so by saying “true socialism hasn’t been tried yet” and “so far, the wrong people have been in charge” and “the USSR, Mao, Pol Pot, and Kim Il-Sung must not be used to define the essence of socialism” (omitted are Ho Chi Minh & Fidel Castro; those are still gods to the Left).

Oh Mara, Venezuela felt the same thing i’m sure. But the history of socialism being tried has repeatedly ended with the same results. Lust for power eventually takes over freedoms and liberties equal totalitarianism, misery war, famine, complete destruction of the civil society.

Mara plays a moderate on the Fox Snooze panel. This reveals her true identity.

Phonetically and ideologically, her name is Mara Lies Some (understatement).

How about the history of wrecked nations and destroyed lives that experiments in socialism have littered the world with?

uhh….no, it has to do with the fact that the Democrats are proposing SOCIALISM!

Too obvious for a journ-o-list I guess.

What an unoriginal talking point. This type of Alinsky propaganda is just rehashed over and over. This filth caters to the idiots schooled in the leftist madrasas called public schools and cesspool internet.

Mara’s wild glittering eyes bespeak the Stalinist behind them. If disarmed patriots were being marched into reeducation camps, she’d be at the main gate applauding with great satisfaction.
