Unless you happen to live in a county that has a secular mindset, plus being embarrassed churches are doing a better job than are their programs. As an example, Catholic Parish serving one full, hardy meal at lunch time and sending a bagged dinner of sandwich , fruit and cookie was serving around 125 per day. The county shut them down because they did not have restaurant grade cooking appliances. Of course, said county had zero free food kitchen in the geographic area the church served but that mattered not a whit.

Democrat mentality for sure.

DC government did the same to a Catholic high school. One of their service projects was feeding underfed. Once a week parents brought in bread, sandwich meat, fruit, cookies, juice things and brown bags. The students assembly lined making sandwiches, filling bags and went out to distribute them. DC shut it down because the food was not being purchased through approved commercial vendors. There went 200 brown bag food offerings for hungry people.

Yep. Democrats in action.

On a positive note. Students and parents became sneaky. Instead of cafeteria assembly line. They broke into small groups, used classrooms and continued on. The school administration turned a blind eye to the goings on in the classrooms after school.

Because Joe Biden has rejected God as well. And he is the role model for being Godless.

Joe's God now is money and power. Most Bishops and Priests denied him of the Holy Communion.

That SOB will meet his maker; and there will probably be the grinding and gnashing of teeth when that occurs.
Unless Joe repents.

Nothing I've cited in that post is a farce and I don't know what your second sentence has to do with anything but I happen to agree. Our founders were indeed, liberals... and seeking liberty is what liberals do.


I see where you're going with this... Just so you know, *I* wasn't seeking anything. I was merely challenging Eagle's assertion that the liberal takeover of public education is one the the so-called "planks" of the Communist Manifesto. But now that I proven his assertion to be in error, I can move on to your argument.

First of all... I'm not a communist. If anything, I am a geolibertarian but I really don't spend a lot of time getting caught up in fluffy ideology.

I am a first-hand witness to the influx of foreign professionals taking highly-paid jobs in our STEM-based industries and I am watching this influx create waves of gentrification in cities like San Francisco, where US citizens with inferior education are winding up on the streets.

This is the reality... It's not a complicated one. Right-wing media MAKES it nebulous, where it appears too complex to understand other than pointing out that the city is run by Democrats and so it becomes a bullet item on the list of rants.

But the only fault in the scenario I described is that the immigrants are getting more help to qualify for those jobs than the citizens are... Not because our government is giving it to them, but because our government is denying its own citizens the help that the immigrants are already getting from the countries they come from.

So, it makes sense to compare these relevant systems rather than subjective opinions about 19th century philosophy.

Why do these immigrants have such an advantage in our STEM-based job-markets?
Because most of them come from countries that provide their people with better education.

The primary reason for that is public funding... we also fund our schools but we're stingy about it. As a consequence, we have underpaid teachers overwhelmed by oversized student bodies. It gets worse at the college level to where students typically have to pay for tuition and that makes it unavailable to many. To make matters worse, we play around with dumb moves like privatization, where we use vouchers to siphon public funding off to private charter schools that are constantly failing.

Here's a little clue from an advocate of the hybrid economy... If it's important but not profitable, don't f_cking privatize it! Capitalism is about profit. If there is no profit, it will fail but if it's important enough... like education or healthcare then socialism and centralized planning is a better option.

Use the right tools for the job and stop getting all caught up in fluffy Marxist BS. Every developed nation on Earth, including our own is using a hybrid economy of capitalism AND socialism. So get over it.

The only reason why you keep getting brainwashed with all this anti-Marxist crap is because there are scamsters out there looking for ways to make a profit from charging consumers for human-critical things such as staying alive. If these services are already provided as a benefit of being an American, they know they have to privatize it first. THEN they can start the billing.


Excellent example! Rockefeller, who actually created the first public school system in America did not do that to benefit the freed slaves or anyone else. He did it to provide his company with workers. This did provide the students with an advantage as a trickle-down effect, so well-done, but he was also very clear that he had no interest in making the students anything more capable when he said “I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nations of workers.”

So his schools may have achieved more, teaching the "3Rs", than those Democrats when it comes to making robots out of them. But we have actual robots for that now and what the Democrats are trying to so is make it possible for student to actually learn how to be thinkers.


The abolitionists were diametrically opposed to the founding fathers, most of whom were slave owners. The liberty that the founders of this republic fought for was the liberty to keep slaves in the face of abolitionism that was already rampant in England at the time. This is why the Republican Party was established. They were liberals flipping a middle-finger to the conservatives in the Democratic Party trying to uphold slavery just like the founders did a century before.

As for the imaginary "4th Reich" the ONLY people I ever see brandishing Nazi symbols and slogans are on the right. How confusing life must be for you.


LOL - I read that book 20 years ago and was surprised to see how popular it got considering the obvious BS.

Jonah Goldberg meticulously picked apart the Nazi party in an effort to connect dots to the American Left, while ignoring some very basic facts...

1. Nationalist socialism and democratic socialism are NOT the same thing. The Nazis were national socialists and one of their first orders of business was to execute all the leaders of the democratic socialist parties.

2. The socialist aspect of the Nazi party was not extraordinary by any means. It was a mere component in the bigger system which was still driven mostly by capitalism. Not that different than the socialist component of the American system that FDR was building at the time.

3. What WAS extraordinary about the Nazis was their ethnic cleansing, which the U.S. stopped doing after the Indian Removal Act. This is what the Nazis are famous for, exterminating Jews. That puts them on the right by definition. Right = exclusion of others, Left = include everyone.

You will find every dictionary, encyclopedia, college, international journal, economist, newsfloor, think tank and government referring to groups based on this dichotomy, with the only differences of opinion coming from crackpots and contrarians like Jonas Goldberg.
