People who support socialism and communism deserve to be tormented.

Socialism is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century. Idiots proposing a system that’s never been successful in world history.

Funny thing about liberty.

It doesn’t mean much if it only belongs to the people you agree with.

The day you start talking about imprisoning folks for their political beliefs instead of their crimes, you’ve wandered off the trail you claim to be defending.


You are describing leftists to a tee

Moral relativism is not going to handcuff me. I am willing to call out evil for what it is and arrest people that seek my downfall.

Conservatives are the frog slowly boiling to death. Must one wait until they are completely surrounded by communists jeering and calling for their execution? I do not want to end up like that. Communism always kills its enemies. Whether by death squads, starvation, or gulags; they all end up irrelevant to the issue.

Ask any refugee of a communist regime. I’ll bet they wish they had acted before the communists took power.

The Nation or Group of people who are the most affluent will trigger the most envy in those less affluent. And just like the Good Book states, “your WORST enemies will be they of your own household “. That narrative applies because those who are closest have the greatest sense of both entitlement and expectations of sharing due to said bond. If expectations are not met the then the breach and offense of trust inspires greater hatred than if the entitlement minded party were distant.

The fact that this Nation was founded on God and Morality/Justice really pushes the expectation bar high. The day I saw one of those large Caravans moving across Mexico with a big Cross in the front, I knew what was coming. “…war on Earth and in Heaven”. For the cause of forced DEI.

Individuals will never be equal, nor should they. As Free Will dictates widely varied consequences of choice. Jesus said that “the poor will be with you ALWAYS”, He spoke pure Truth. That don’t let loving people off the responsibility hook. Or poor people who make bad and criminal choices as well. Mercy should apply, but not without Qualifiers for said mercy. Slacking and grifting is as old as humanity. And DC is full of the most egregious grifters. Their guilt inspires them to give away ‘other peoples money “ in order to assuage their conscience. Assuming they have one.

It’s coming. Truth is coming. And Humanity will take a giant leap forward.

The people who most need to learn by engaging with Rowe’s arguments a) have very low reading comprehension -if they are not already functionally illiterate and b) have no foundation of critical thought, at all…

If you don't think the left would do this to conservatives if they could you're simply not being honest with yourself

No, you are describing the leftist political strategy, don't care about one poster here, he merely repeated the backbone of leftist thought.

You really are the epitome of a lying, word salad leftist.

So you agree with tormenting the administration and their socialist policies regarding taking equity stakes in private companies......in order to "save" them?

Anyone that believes the DSA is some enlightened group of humanists is lying to themselves or lying to others. Either way, they must be stopped. I don't know why we aren't corralling these people and putting them in prison. This isn't some idea that we can merely agree to disagree. They must be stopped now before they cause further harm.


To stop them, you need to take away their fuel. Housing is seen by a large portion of younger people as a major issue as well as costs, jobs, AI encroachment into the work force, the rise of foreign indentured labor, death of American manufacturing, increased consolidation and corporate monopoly as well as the rot caused by the pox of private equity.

The GOP has ignored this. Trump got elected to fight a lot of it and then started blabbing about 50 year loans, the need for more Chinese and calling those concerned losers. Then he started another war.

This is a perfect storm for commies and they're going to do better with it than many of you think because no one perceives a viable alternative now that Trump has failed.

Interesting.

I responded to his words.

You responded to me.

That usually happens when the words are hard to defend.

Every tyrant in history believed he was locking up the right people. That’s why free societies demand crimes instead of predictions bubba.

In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed Communists.“

This is a misleading statement as tyrants and dictators acted to preserve their grip by locking or killing others. There are no rights to be tolerated, much as the left states regularly towards others.
