The same way calling this Country, “America”, when it is actually the United States. Ignorance.

Two words: PUBLIC EDUCATION.

AKA: communist re-education camp

[poconopundit]

Beyond his outrageous ideas, the other thing that bothers me about Bernie is you cannot have a civil discussion with him. He throws up his hands, and throws out stupid arguments.

He is the biggest con-artist since Trotsky.

[wita]

the problem began AFTER the US Constitution was written.

One word in error. The problem began after the Constitution was amended.

The first ten were necessary, all after the first ten IMHO were questionable and were placed by Congress NOT the Founding Fathers.

There's one point everyone is overlooking....

If the moderate Democrats are jumping ship to vote for Trump, who else is left to vote in the Rat primaries?

Only those who remain, which are: the loonie communists, socialist, and true believer libtards.

That's why Bernie

Socialism is COMMUNISM by the drink.

[kaktuskid]

Just show all of the pictures of what “socialists” do to their countrymen in campaign ads and most of this “love affair” would end

[wita]

Let’s remember to add this to the list of murderous socialist ideologies of the past.

I might be adding present and future to the sentence.

ABSOLUTELY! from K through University.

throw in Media, Hollywood, etc.

[kearnyirish2]

At this point in many areas “public education” is simply another freebie provided by American taxpayers for a foreign student body - including free lunches, BREAKFAST in some urban dumps, and in NYC, FREE LUNCHES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER (for anyone).

Decades of the “birth dearth” for white Americans has made much of the discussion about public education simply an extension of welfare.

Re: Your encounter with the goofy Dem..

God love ya, Rooster. “SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING”. That works in psych Warfare, the same as in terrorist activity, when we encounter the galactically stupid Marxists/Socialist-Communists running around in our Republic.

[CodeJockey]

They had a Bernie ad on the TV when I was leaving for work. Here’s what I can remember.

$15+ min wage
elimination of all college debt
tuition free college
blacks freed from prison
wall street types put in prison
elimination of cash bails
legalization of weed
free health care
free child care first four years

Probably missing something.

IMHO the critical thinking skills of young people today are about ZERO.

I have young co-workers who eagerly buy into every piece of crap propaganda that comes across their phones. I try and tell them “you don’t REALLY believe that, do you?” laying out logic and rationale for why it’s at best dubious.

It does not faze them. If it comes to them via the magic interweb they totally believe it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The plans were laid years ago and it is now coming to fruition.

Yup. All that remains is to sit back and wait for enough of us to die.

Great posts. He was just happy the reds pushed Adolph back. He felt he owed them gratitude.

[Leep]

definitely..but also creating an entitlement class...and i’m not just talking about our politicians.

Point is, by the US Constitution and founding fathers, you had to OWN property to be eligible to vote for a reason. Without this, you can VOTE yourself money and other peoples goods/services. When people who don’t pay into the Federal government in TAXES are allowed to vote for Federal government candidates, we have a problem.

And it was a good system, but it's gonna be hard to impossible to go back.

But, we should at least get something similar, give a couple categories that allow one to vote:
- Own landed property, in your name or your spouse's. No 50-way shared property, no businesses transferring their 'vote' to 1000s of 'owners'.
- Minimum 6 years military service (Active, Guard, or Reserve) with honorable discharge will exempt you from the landed requirement.
- Maybe add in net taxpayers. Not every productive citizen wants to own a house or deal with land (stupid city councils, property taxes, liabilities, etc). Many prefer the lifestyle of renting or only owning an RV and being free and mobile. And by net taxpayer, I mean taxes paid minus ALL welfare, not just an IRS stub saying you paid em twenty bucks. (Military pensions, SS checks, stuff like that are not considered welfare.)
