I wrote here last week about the reaction to President Trumps condemnation of socialism in his State of the Union. He said something indisputably factual and indubitably obvious to most Americans: Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.
As I said, it was a revealing, signature moment for both President Trump and for the Democratic Party.
I noted that, to their credit, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer applauded, as did a decent number of Democrats in that chamber. That was in contrast to the Democratic Partys two socialist stars, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Poor Sanders looked so agitated that he seemed ready to leap from his seat and denounce the president as an enemy of the Proletariat. Ocasio-Cortez did a better job concealing her displeasure, as she sat stone-faced.
But Ive since learned something even more interesting among Democrat reactions. No less than Elizabeth Warren, about as left-wing as a Democrat senator can get, joined Schumer and Pelosi in applauding Trumps condemnation of socialism. Yes, Elizabeth Warren. Better, whereas Pelosi offered mild applause from a seated position, Warren stood and clapped emphatically, as a sea of silent white-wearing congresswomen sat behind her unmoved.
I learned of Warrens surprising reaction from the communist press, namely from Peoples World, successor to the Daily Worker, in a headline that mocked, A specter is haunting Donald Trumpthe specter of socialism. So disappointed were the comrades at Peoples World that they scorned Warren as an erstwhile progressive leader.

The primaries revealed everything and especially everybody. Information gathering is done.
Because they're still playing the shell game. Progressive = socialism, and Tom Perez correctly states that socialism is the future of the Dem party. Unfortunately, it is likely the future of the entire country.
The last 2 weeks have been incredibly revealing:
1) NYS Senate cheers - wildly - Cuomo signing a bill into law that allows full term abortion and even “post-pregnancy” abortion (i.e. clear infanticide);
2) The Green New Deal - gee, we only have to retrofit every single building in the country in 12 years, and we’ll pay for it by printing money;
3) Nazi Pelosi announces that the next Dem President will declare a state of emergency to confiscate all firearms;
4) Jackass teeth Occasional Cortex nearly has an orgasm after chasing 25,000 jobs from NYC.
The mask is off, folks. For any that did not believe it until now, they are the party of murder, confiscation of wealth, seizing your means of self-defense and defense of liberty, and they WANT people to be poor.
Great bunch of folks, ain’t they?
How can President Trump expose that which doesn’t exist?
