Winston Churchill once astutely observed that you can always count on the American people to do the right thing.

Once they have exhausted all of the alternatives.

I’m afraid we’re going to do socialism simply because its an alternative we haven’t tried yet. Most won’t believe it can’t work until they’ve experienced the failure first-hand.

Now do you finally believe that our schools and universities, Hollywood and the liberal media are brainwashing our kids? Are you taking this seriously?

I've been a vocal advocate for serious education reform since the early 90's. If anything, we've gone backwards. Our elected leaders get massive cash from the education lobby, unions and teachers - the system is corrupt and getting worse and nobody is lifting a figure or shedding light on the massive failure. Unless you fell Leftist indoctrination is wasteful spending and poor results are a good thing - then it's an overwhelming success.

“socialism — an economic system that reasonable and educated Americans have long known is disastrous”

So they instituted public education to remove reasonable and educated people, and should there be any holdouts, they came up with government health care.

Adding insult to injury, only 57% believe the Declaration of Independence “better guarantees freedom and equality”


Words have meanings.

Freedom. How little that word is used today.

equality. Has been morphed into equal results instead of equal opportunity.

Here’s the point: Leftists have to lie to persuade people that socialism works and capitalism is evil.


Words again. capitalism today is big business. Big business requires big government. Big government requires big business.

Trump did many things in the tax changes to encourage small business. Removing regulation is good for small business.

I am not a supporter of big business.

Here’s the other point: Leftists are seemingly more committed to their goals of fundamentally transforming America than conservatives are to preserving it.


any arguments?
