Why Progressives Are Attracted To Socialism
Has it ever occurred to you why progressives are attracted to socialism?
Well it all started with those radicals of the 60-70's who grew up upper middle class. Now some ideas are so absurd only intellectuals are seduced by them. Hence these same radicals marched in the streets rallying against the very capitalistic system that elevated them in our society. There is also an underlying second reason which I will get to momentarily. However these same radicals migrated to our educational institutes corrupting each successive generation of kids inundating them with distorted views on capitalism, religion, etc Enter the millennial and their love of socialism and their hero Bernie Sanders. Like their forefathers before them this newest generation coming of age and ready to vote witnessed the wonders of socialism right here in the good US of A. Those radicals of 60-70's also entered government, increasing welfare benefits at an alarming rate, which now segues us to the second reason progressives are drawn to socialism. Socialism eliminates the risk of failure and responsibility. Socialism as the 47% non-Romney voters explain provides security with crutches. Hence the fear of failing is eliminated in life and God is dead because all progressives need can be had nursing at the government's breast. And it all free! free! free! It works something like the island of fun in the Pinocchio story. You know kids turning into donkeys as they devoured cotton candy and lollipops Is it any wonder America's kids today are offended easily as defined by trigger warnings, micrco agressions cultural misappropriations and seeking safe spaces. Is it any wonder why they broke down when an enterprising capitalist won the election . God forbid they have to go out and work for a living. I mean what if they fail at their job? And they recognize that in the corporate world you don't get a trophy just for showing up. Gosh, what's an enterprising socialist to do? Personal Best Regards: |

Explains exactly why republicans are so hell bent on getting rid of the single-payer socialized medicine, commonly known as Medicare. They've been trying to do this for over 50 years and finally have the stooge in the White House who will sign their bill into law.

Wow, some of you libtards have no self-respect, or self-reliance. But, Medicare really is cr@p. |

I would not worrty so much about medicare; how do you feel SS is going to survive with the weak necked Millennials that do not want to work (would rather go to school for ever) and will make little, if any, contribution? The majority of these weak neck useless generation wear neck cushions in cars and planes...they can't even hold their own head up for a couple hours...who is going to pay the taxes??? |
Somebody help me out...which one of the liberals on here has the pecker puffer son they asked us to make fun of?
I am curious if he had to choose between gay right initiatives or supporting the helpless, which would be more important to him? |

Trump connected with many in the black community with his honest assessment of how progressives failed them. it is one reason why Hillary could not garner the votes that Obama had in 200-2012. And I seriously doubt if Obama could run in 2016 he would have garner as many black votes as he did in previous years because false Democrat promises caught up with them. My hope is that as people we move away from collective thinking and return to individual -independent thinkers. Trump has his problems to be sure. However in addition to Democrat resistance he has to deal with some Republican recalcitrants which is going to make his job that much harder. I don't mind and even agree that Republican need to challenge him. I just wish they stop playing to the crowd to garner voters. Hope Trump is successful with his plans to introduce a plan for term limits not only for congress but also the Supreme Court. Personal Best Regards: |

Short summary-He told me that people who can afford to do so buy private healthcare TO GET BETTER CARE. Under our LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM-you cannot buy better care. I pay almost twice minimum and am not eligible for inflation protection because I do not have a pension and am living on PERSONAL SAVINGS. At the time, they had come up with meds that would keep a patient with aids alive cost was over 200,000 a year. I asked my German friend if there was some sort of cap where the state stops paying. His reply was that, you know our history-GERMANY WILL NOT EUTHANIZE ANYONE. According to my friend there are wards of people who are brain dead and are kept alive by machines at government cost. MY VIEW-WHILE WE HAVE NO CHOICE-WHEN, YOU DO NOT PAY FOR IT YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR MEDICAL CARE. THAT IS A HIGH PRICE TO PAY. Better solution. ????????? Perhaps, FEES for service should be CLEAR AND POSTED. Perhaps, success rates should be public record. ASIDE: publishing success rates can backfire. Doctors would avoid patients with a higher risk profile. |

I personally believe the nation made a mistake by moving from the draft to an all volunteer military. I wish it were reinstated but with less room for exceptions to equalize that the draft apply fairly across all socio-economic lines. I say this because too many young people have no skin in the game and hence seem almost oblivious to the nature and dangers of a failed foreign policy. I also say so because a volunteer military could well become cost prohibited. and as we are witnessing now criteria for selection continues to be lowered. I also say so because as many of us learned the military experience coming right out of high school was indeed helpful. Personal Best Regards: |

Yes, I enlisted and served my 3 years. |

Ha ha ha, do you and Trump think that congress is ever going to vote in term limits and put themselves out of work? |
Quote:
Trump got six deferments because of bone spurs in his foot. Now he can't remember which foot it was. He equates his time spent in military school to actually serving in the military. Don Jr and Eric have never served. |

You mean socialism where the public joins together with public tax dollars and creates parts of our society like:
(1) State and federal highway system (2) The United States Armed Forces (3) Medicare (4) Social Security (5) Sheriff's and Police Department (6) Local Fire Department and Emergency Services (7) Public libraries (8) US Postal Service (9) Bridges construction (10) Public landfills (11) Garbage collection (12) Fighting of wars (13) Student loans and grants (14) Farm subsidies (15) Corporate bailouts for those too big to fail (16) Museums (17) Public schools (18) Jails and prisons (19) Veterans health care (20) Sewers (21) The Court System (22) The G. I. Bill (23) Dams and rural electrical service (24) Public beaches and golf courses (25) The FDA (26) Public transportation (27) PBS (28) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (29) Street lighting (30) FEMA (31) NPR (32) Public defenders (33) Homeland Security and TSA (34) Air Traffic Control System (35) The White House and all state and federal agencies to name just a few that I would prefer to have remain in the government control of a socialist system rather than be run by a private, for profit, entity. Call me a Progressive, but that's the way I want it to stay. How about you? What do conservatives want, oligarchic fascism? I sincerely doubt it. 75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America |

They aren't even smart enough to know, that calling someone 'progressive'...is a huge compliment. Given that this country became great because of 'progress/progressive thinking'...it's unfathomable why they take such delight in being known as 'regressive.' :ohdear: |

"Is this the first time Republicans have had control of congress and the presidency in 50 years?" No but Nixon was too smart to end Medicare, Ford was smart enough, Reagan smart enough until he lost his mind, HW Bush smart enough and W Bush nobody told him to do it, enter Trump the stooge will sign anything put in front of him. What do all of the above have in common? They all left office either in defeat or disgrace, except for Reagan who left not in his right mind. |
Washington has no stomach to deal with medicare or social security
But the news media know how to stir up voters Personal Best Regards: |

Tell that to Speaker Paul Ryan who has made this his primary goal, something he has been so passionate about ever since losing the election in 2012. |
Sadly a typical liberal

While people who earn a living or in case of the villages have earned a living surely, if they did some reading, did not vote for OBAMA yet, there were no protests. George Bush left office AND DID NOT BERATE OBAMA. So far we have seen SOROS paid for anti TRUMP protests. Obama is doing everything in his power to MESS UP OUR/MY COUNTRY. So far Obama has fanned sparks of RACE ISSUES into forest fires, he has made hard work and SUCCESS evil, he has made SAVING FOR RETIREMENT evil, he has made SELF RELIANCE evil, he has made the you o meeeeee gimmmmmmeeeeeeeee the view of far too many americans. Obama has bowed to MUSLIMS-the only president in history to so STOOP, Obama has shafted our ONLY ally in the middle east-ISRAEL. Obama has STICK HIS NOSE INTO BREXIT-England to the European that they demand their INDEPENDENCE, TRUMP won because his view AMERICA FIRST. oBAMA thinks we should pay for all the ills of the world while our country goes further and further into debt to pay for it RE: PROFITS and Medicare. Medicare DICTATES the price which is far below what a person without medicare and or medical insurance would pay. The patient has no reason to control costs I HAVE NO QUESTION OUR SYSTEMS ARE BROKEN. FOR ME IT IS CLEAR THAT ALLOWING OUR COUNTRY TO BE CONTROLLED BY LIBERALS IS THE CAUSE. CALL ME A RACIST, A NAZI, A XENOPHOBE CALL ME SOMEONE WHO SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK. |
