[ Flush the system?]...rid us, of all the Obammy's, Clinton's, & Bidens...then to rid the GBMNT, of career criminals: Pelosi, Clinton, "both", Schumer, Toad Nadler, SCHIF-FACE, MAXIPAD WATERS, TREASONIST REPUBLICANS, ROMNEY, LIZZARD CHENEY, Murkowski, ET AL....

The garbage can of politics, is full of maggots, "liberal maggots", crawling all over the stench of Washington D.C.!

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.

"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."

That is what Liberals do. What the self-styled Liberal Democrats of today do is seek governmental control along the lines of a hive mind.

"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."

The tenth plank of the Communist Manifesto does indeed mandate governmental control of education.

"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."

I'll be damned. We actually agree on something. Other countries insist on quality education and do not consider horsecrap like CRT and DEI as education. (You will recall that unlike you, I listed sources for my claims you called bullshit).


"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."

As long as their thinking does not deviate too far from the confines of the hive mind.

"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."


The "Founding Fathers" is a loosely defined group of men that included signers of the Declaration of Independence, Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and signers of the Treaty of Paris. Of one group, the Constitutional Convention delegates, 17 of the 55 were slave owners. Another source lists as many as 25 as slave owners, still short of your "most."

https://www.britannica.com/story/how-many-of-the-signers-of-the-us-constitution-were-enslavers

As for the other part of the statement, left wingers are too busy brandishing the Hammer and Sickle to brandish symbols of any other ideology.

More later. Got a doctor appointment.

You must be confused. I never said anything about corporations not hiring me. I was referring to departments being resistant to corporate practices. That's an observation from me as an architect working directly under a companies CTO... Probably not something you would understand.

CounterRevolutionary wrote:

Corporations have paid me good wages, health insurance and retirement plans and did not force me to join labor unions. And they THANKED me for my hard honest work.

Same here... I'm guessing they paid me more, because you're telegraphing way too much stupidity for me to believe a corporation would ever trust you to make decisions. But I'm glad your career as a maintenance worker was rewarding.

LOL - You have no idea the stereotype you are enforcing. To free thinkers like myself it's pretty obvious when people prefer to let others do the thinking for them... One dead give away is calling a single source a "go-to" for information. Also, I'm curious as to why you had to emphasize that he's black. Do you think that makes any difference to me?

That's not what thousands of court rulings say. ;)

Look, I don't see things in black and white like you do... I know that for the most part, Fortune 500 companies run an honest business, but there ARE exceptions and they usually have more to do with specific individuals employed by these companies.

Why would i have a problem with that?

Wait... you think I'm a communist, don't you? LOL - that's funny. You're all ready to bitch-slap a commie. It must be so frustrating that you can't actually find any.

The handful of monopolies tied to galloping globalism are pro-socialism, often merging with governments and are financed by international government central banks printing reams of counterfeit money out of thin air, bankrupting small nations in the wake. The European Union is the culprit along with the Bank of China. Read Jim Rickard's book "Currency Wars."

Any idiot can write a book, Sparky. But I'll have a look... the title refers to a big concern in global trade these days. It's possible that Jim Richard is presenting legitimate arguments but you're not understanding them.

The "handful of monopolies tied to galloping globalism are anything BUT socialists. A common reference to the most powerful globalists over the last 70 years are neoliberals and their most effective weapon is free-market capitalism. The IMF, the World Bank and the G7 are all assemblies of authority over this world order.

Don't be confused by the fact that so many Democrats support this world order. I know that probably clashes with your dogmatic believe that all Democrats are socialists, but they are not. Most mainstream Democrats are free-market capitalists with significant investments in Wall Street.

You also seem to think there is more than one central bank printing money, but that is actually false. There is only one central bank printing money out of thin air and that's the Federal Reserve. All other countries base their currency on the dollar, which has been the worlds reserve currency since Bretton Woods.

CounterRevolutionary wrote:

There are over 22 million small businesses and self employed who pay the most taxes.

Actually, individuals pay the most taxes to the tune of about 50%. Corporate taxes are at about 4% and that includes small business, such as limited liability companies (LLC) and s-corporations. I'm not sure of how much of that 4% is coming from small business vs big business, but I know that small businesses rarely have the money to pay for legal teams to find ways to avoid paying taxes like Fortune 500 companies do.

It sounds like you're hearing a lot of things but you're just having a hard time putting it together. I would say not to worry, it takes time to figure all this out but it's not going to happen if you allow your prejudices and emotional outrage to block your understanding.

The ones exposed in those 45 Communist goals you called McCarthyism.

Before you monsters invaded, America possessed a very workable BALANCE between Church and State. It wasn't a forced balance, it wasn't called a Christian BALANCE, it was a balance based on a knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil that was accepted by an overwhelming majority because it worked. All forms of Marxism must destroy that balance especially if it's based on any understanding they have a foundational Christian origin. The America Republic was created as a secular nation based on Christian morals, values, a predominent faith, family, love and respect of country. What you cultural Marxist have accomplished is to attack and seriously damage every one of those basic foundational American principles and you did purposedly and you did it out of hatred. We know you hate America because we can see what you replaced what we were to what we are now, a decadent, degenerate, society where sexual perverts, and Marxist Social Justice warriors reign superior. The secular and sacred had a very workable balance until you elevated the type of secular designed to intentionally attack the sacred.

Your talk of returning to the dark ages, a false dilemma, that the secular protects religion, confusing the 1st Amendment with the 2nd regarding the Church of England, any desire for an American theocracy, and establishing a moral police like Iran only proves you're full of bullshit and an effing idiot.

You asked me to work? How insulting and degrading your statements are. I am retired. I am in the 70's now. You don't know who I am. We have differences in opinion, but I don't insult you. My life is open, not hiding anything.

I have worked for several years almost 36 years since I was in college until I retired. While in college, I studied 4 hours and worked 4 hours to help pay for my tuition. My uncle helped my dormitory fees. I did not have college debts. Despite of limited time, my grades still had flying colors because I burned my midnight candles. It was a hectic time, but I was raised to work hard and be responsible. God was my guide until now.
Even when my husband was called for Vietnam, until he came home disabled, and eventually left early, I still stood strong at my own.

In 2023, I paid $33,575 plus in Federal Income tax. I do this every year. I pay almost $11,000 in property tax every year for 2 homes I own. And I had been paying taxes annually. And if you think I am lying, I have documents to prove all those. My CPA Tax Accountants can prove all of them as well.

During the 80's when I was younger, I worked two jobs one was full time Accountant and another one a part time Licensed Real Estate sale for 5 years.

I am grateful for all God's blessings. He gave me good health, and the wisdom to face adversities in life. And what I'll do with all the blessings God gave me? I will return all of them back to Him (His people), when He calls me home.

You always insulted me. I don't want to insult you. I don't know you. I only based my statement from the statements you've been posting.

We had been exchanging messages which turned a 180-degree difference when I discussed about the atrocities of the Muslims worldwide. You've favored Muslims, I don't, though I have few exceptions. And until now, I stand for what I've stated.

Good night, and I still wish you goodwill, and great things in your life.

Continuation:
When I mentioned about Public Education, I was talking about the present. The past has now little relevance to what are presently happening in Public Schools. Public Schools at present are controlled by the Public Teachers Labor Union. They demand too much funding, but the kids in schools are not learning the 3 R's. US is the highest funded schools among world countries and yet the products have now succumbed to the bottom. That is now true, when the Democrat controlled system came into power, especially under Joe Biden.

While the Labor Union demands more funding, a certain percent of that has been donated to the Democrat Party. Thus, when they are in control, president Biden allows more funding for Public Schools.
https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=L1300

Public Schools and the Democrat Party are in quid-pro-quo when it comes to funding. I am not happy about that, because despite of getting the highest funding, the kids in schools are lagging among other countries, most specially in Math, Science, reading, and writing.

I am not happy because in our County and State, 65% of our property taxes are funded to Public Schools. Thus, taxes go up every year to sustain these non-preforming schools.

Instead of focusing on the academics, they learn more of the immoral lifestyle, how trans, and LGBTQ's remaking of their lives from God's creation to change according to the needs of the human ills of immoralities. And yet all at the expense of the taxpayers.

Parents concerns are limited or not allowed to intervene how their children are indoctrinated. Otherwise, parents according to the DOJ, are called "Domestic Terrorists".

I must emphasize that what is most important is the present. The ills of the past must be forgotten, but the good ones must be preserved and be carried on.

They have replaced the academics, and about history. They use the DEI, CRT, and fake history of Project 1619 to gain equity. While the real smart ones are prevented to achieve. Freedom under God has been diminished. While human desires emphasized.

My most concern is that the Public Schools at present have been so degraded in all aspects of education, morals, and behavior among each other. I see many times, bigger kids beating other kids. The huge, bodied kids always trample the smaller ones. The Whites, Asians are always beaten by the bigger kids.

How we arrived at this culture where hatred among children in schools are so pervasive. We are supposed to be one country, one people, one faith and loyalty under God.

The Biden imports of tens of millions of illegal invaders will further change the culture of this country. Now they are demanding Hamas dominance, as they trample and burn our National Flag, and shout "Death to America."

The almost 15 million illegals allowed by Joe Biden will further hurt our own people who right now suffer due to very high cost of living. The millions of illegal children will further crowd our Public Schools and demand more funding.

In addition, our medical care will certainly diminish quality to accommodate more the 15 million of people. Different cultures demand different needs.

Some came to wreak havoc and violence to our culture, faith, and to destroy. Among them, thousands of convicts who are now killing our own, and fighting against our law enforcements.
Many came to poison our people with drugs, and we already have seen hundreds of thousands of victims annually.

I've never envisioned before that this could happen. But they are here right now in our own faces, pointing fingers on us.

Continuation about Public Schools.

As soon as President Trump takes over in 2025, I think he will definitely change the Public Schools system. I want to suggest eliminating the Dept. of Education's Public Schools.

Transfer authority to each state government under Federalism so they could closely monitor their own performances and compete with other state government's schools' performance.

This will be good idea, so we know which states do good jobs for their children's education.

Right now, most of the funding in our state comes from the property taxpayers. The Federal funding could subsidize the balance. This I think needs Congressional approval.

Public schools are already operating under state governments... they always have. And they are already monitoring their own performances as per Bushes standardized testing under his "No Child Left Behind" program which actually lowered the standards so that ANYONE can score high and "No Child" will be "Left Behind". As a result of this "great idea", students are now being taught how to pass tests to make schools look better instead of actually learning anything.

I think the best thing we can do for education in America is to keep the half-witted lunatics on the right, out of it.

Dept. of Public Education at present is under the Federal Government under the most dumb and stupid Joe Biden's Cabinet.

Public Schools must be taken away from the hands of the Federal and moved completely to the State Government. This will get improved performance, better control of its funding, behavior, and enhanced academic results. It will allow competition among other states about the enhanced performance of their students. Funding must be based on improved performance. Politics will be removed.

I will suggest this and as soon as President Trump get into the WH in 2025.

Oh, you want to get rid of the Dept. of Education itself. Well, OK... I don't think that will change much. The Dept. of Education at the federal level doesn't actually do much.

Better control of its funding? Hmm... So, are you speaking for all 50 states? Are you considering that within each state more than half the funding on average comes from local taxes? How exactly do you you think cutting out the federal level is going to make ANY difference to how the states gathers funding from the local districts?

Also, just to note, one of the few things the Dept. of Education does is subsidize the states. So, you already cut your school's budget by 11%.

And how are you going to allow states to compete without a national standard? Even sports teams have to have a league with rules for the competition to mean anything.

Funding must be based on improved performance? Now you're just asking for trouble. Anytime you give a school an incentive like that you run a high risk that that they are going shift the focus from education to test scores. You don't remember that happening under Bush?
