So, I'm a Millennial and a leftist. Zot away (Froggy Mod says "Adieu")

Posted on 02/24/2014 3:17:38 PM PST by Millennial Lefty

So, I lurk on Free Republic quite a bit. Usually it's to read some of the outrageous comments some post here and some of it is to see what your opinions are on certain articles that also get posted elsewhere.

So, a little bit about myself. I'm in my 20s and of Hispanic origin. I was born in New York but moved to Florida when I was three years old. I'm what you guys would consider a "socialist". I don't consider myself a socialist, I'm a supporter of the free market economy except I favor strong government regulations.

While on many issues am probably to the left of the Democratic Party there is one issue I agree with the Republicans but it isn't an issue that would ever sway me to vote for the Republican Party. That issue is gun rights. I love guns and I believe the 2nd amendment is a fundamental right to the people of the United States. I don't believe in a ban on "assault" weapons or on accessories like there is on certain sized magazines. I also support the right for one to properly defend themselves with or without deadly force with your legally owned firearm.

However, on economic and social issues I side with the DNC. I'm probably to the left of the DNC on most issues.

So anyways, ask away.

I think he was more of a libertarian who had decided the GOP more closely represented his personal beliefs.

So are you a National Socialist or an International Socialist?

I didn't insult anyone.

He offered no position to argue against.

He was smarmy and condescending and while you may want to waste your time with him I do not.

How dare you sign up for FR and post this garbage on the birthday of my Millennial Conservative granddaughter ???

She was born in 2000 and Im teaching her along with my other grands to love God and to love America and the Constitution and the military and to stand for something good and that takes the heart of a Conservative to achieve...

Youre not the kind of young man Id let my granddaughter hang out with so stay far away from my door..

KC... you left out the most important thing. You aren't sitting in your parents basement in a red onesie sipping hot chocolate and talking about oBamacare...

Unlike the twice-departed recent poster. ;-)

The 2nd Amendment is not an important issue to you?

It's only the most important issue that there is.

You say you're Hispanic? You should talk to some of your [formerly] Cuban brethren about the relative importance of the right to bear arms.

Here in America, we don't want our country to be "fundamentally transformed" into some crappy "social democracy" like Cuba, Venezuela, Nicarauga, or whatever.

You seem to understand little of American history. Perhaps you choose only to focus on the negatives in our history. Focusing on the whole picture, and understanding what Freedom really is, would probably wake you up a little.

Self-proclaimed socialists and their ilk murdered more millions of human beings in the last century than all other causes combined. And I'm sure many of them were well-meaning, for all the good that did.

You're young, so you're naive. You've got some growing up to do. Have a nice day.

Let States or even Counties fork out the money for the schools without federal interference.

Yup and I'd even bring it right down to the district level. A little town like mine hasn't been able to support a school for years but there are ways to cut costs like local volunteers.

[ I would say End most if not ALL FEDERAL regulations and move that responsibility BACK to the states
Exhibit A: The Board of Education

Let States or even Counties fork out the money for the schools without federal interference. You put the Local Municipalities in the Education Game and it WILL improve, no more passing the buck to the federal government. ]

Liberals LOVE diversity except when it is applied to State Governments, then they absolutely LOATHE it... That and Diversity of Opinion they hate that too.

I’ll let someone else explain to your thread-wide ping why the poster presented as a “retread” — someone who has been zotted before and is back for more trolling. I may be wrong; but I did get in after the zot; so my comment had nothing to do with the suspension.

If Millennial Socialist, er, whatever his name is, had left an email address, I would forward to him, in perpetuity, the continuous effluent from my spam folder instead of deleting it. Periodically there are offers for devices and medications that will assuredly improve his lot.. ;-]
