Watch out for this guy. He is against tax breaks and subsidies for llama and alpaca farms.

Public schools suck.

Your commute on freeways sucks.

Public Libraries are antiquated day housing for bums.

EMTs might be okay.

Snow plowing is never timely.

“Scientists” are leftist political hacks with white coats.

What part am I supposed to love again?

When in doubt, simply re-define socialism to trick people.

My town has volunteer EMTs and Fire-Department. It is local people helping their neighbors. Is that socialism? Or is it Libertarianism?

If it works, the Left will call it socialism.

WRONG about public libraries-——they are well used and very busy.

What great works of art and inventions happened under Socialism? Iphones, computers, internet.....all capitalist.

There were some artists who did good things in the 1920s before the Communists cracked down on what they didn’t understand.

Nowadays, nothing creative emerges from socialist regimes.

Socialism is a front for thievery.

The NAZIS were National Socialists. Why don’t Americans realize that FACT! Our parents and grandparents did.

I kind of wonder about public libraries, now that so much printed material is online. It seems my local library is mainly used as a free video rental store.

Well yeah,maybe some in large,liberal cities have problems but most public libraries are busy,active places.

The homeless also hang out in bus stations,train stations,malls,and hospital emergency rooms-—it’s a fact of life these days.

Socialism is a war on reality. It advances fantasy driven wish lists as a replacement for experience based reason as a means to understand the realities of human interaction. It can never be a path to anything of actual social benefit, because of the insane bias for fantasy.

Lies Of Socialism

The Clintons started saying that socialism hasn’t worked because they right people hadn’t been in charge yet. Obama double downed on that theme. The dims believe that they can run a socialist country the “right” way.

Notice that the celebrities who praise socialism have already “got theirs”. Socialism will prevent most others from joining them in the ranks of the elite, protecting their status.

Ok. Let’s start by democratically socializing the entertainment industry. All movie stars, no matter how big the role, or how many accolades they have, or big credits to their name, shall now be paid SAG scale for every role. No more private trailers either, they can all just use one communal dressing area, and eat at the craft service table with the extras.

Famous actors recently made a commercial proclaiming that "democratic socialism" creates some of the best parts of America. It's "your kids' public school" (says Susan Sarandon), the "interstate highway system" (Rosario Dawson), "public libraries" (Jay Ferguson), "EMTs" (Ethan Embry), "workers who plow our streets" (Max Carver) and "scientists" (Danny DeVito).

These famous actors and actresses apparently have not taken a look at the film industry in communist and socialist countries. There is not much to see.

In their sheer stupidity they are advocating a "progressive" ideology that will assure their own demise. No one will notice or care.

Socialism is communism served by the glass.
