If they actually implement elements of that agenda, it will not end well for any of us--although if it triggers another successful counter-revolution, such as that in 1776, it might lead to a restoration of much that has already been lost.

The intention of this thread, however, is to increase understanding of the total absurdity of what is being advocated, to help our side better understand our tactical advantage--that is the advantage if we employ the obvious arguments for out traditions, as opposed to the mealy mouthed apologies, which certain Republicans fall back on, lest they offend those who hate our way of life.

I see tremendous opportunity, here. Have been fighting egalitarian (Jacobin, Marxist & variation) arguments for many decades, and understand the flaws in their approaches. They are stuck with premises, which will not stand critical analysis.

The right of the individual to accumulate capital, to ascend a ladder of social objectives, and/or material wealth, has always been the American engine of individual success; but, also, the engine for sustained economic growth of society in general. We have always acclaimed success; always disdained the petty envy of those obsessed with jealous resentment of exceptional achievement.
