Omar's stupidity is so obviously disclosed often times. UN has no business in taking away the sovereignty of our country. UN cannot dictate to China or all countries of the world to remove their sovereign rights and allow open borders for all people of the world to come.

Omar is wasting our tax money paid to her by doing all kinds of stupidities in Congress. She wants US open borders so all the Muslim Somalians could come in, and all Muslims could come in to take over our country.

Get that stupid, dumb Omar from Congress. She is a t*****r, and enemy of the United States. Get her out ASP, please.

Why Socialism, and Why Now?
Victor Davis Hanson ~ August 29, 2019
"Socialist!" is no longer a McCarthyite slur.

Rather, the fresh celebrity "Squad" of newly elected identity-politics congresswomen -- Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) -- often either claim to be socialists or embrace socialist ideas. A recent Harris poll showed that about half of so-called millennials would like to live in a socialist country.

Five years ago, septuagenarian Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) was considered an irrelevant lone socialist in the U.S. Senate -- Vermont's trademark contribution to cranky quirkiness. But in 2016, Sanders' improbable Democratic primary run almost knocked off front-runner Hillary Clinton, even as socialist governments were either imploding or stagnating the world over.

After Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 general e******n, Sanders is back, running as a socialist warhorse, promising endless amounts of free stuff, with those promises suddenly being taken seriously.

Sanders, like the members of the Squad, has limited political power. But the celebrity and social media influence of these new and retread socialists has been on the upswing -- especially in the current 21st-century climate of radical t***sformations in economic and political life.

Note the shock over Clinton's 2016 defeat, the furor directed at a take-no-prisoners Trump, and sudden progressive criticism of the Obama presidency as too temporizing, weak and ineffectual. And there are still other undercurrents that explain why currently socialism polls so well among young Americans.

College-educated Americans collectively owe an estimated $1.5 trillion in unpaid student loans. Many of these debtors despair of ever paying back the huge sums.

Cancelling debt is an ancient socialist rallying cry. Starting over with a clean slate appeals to those "oppressed" with college loans.

A force multiplier of debt is the realization that many students borrowed to focus on mostly irrelevant college majors. Such degrees usually offer few opportunities to find jobs high-paying enough to pay back staggering obligations.

Asymmetrical globalization over the last 30 years has created levels of wealth among the elite never envisioned in the history of civilization. In addition to these disparities, "free" but unfair trade, especially with China and to a lesser extent with the European Union, Japan and South Korea, hollowed out the interior of the United States, impoverishing and diluting the once-solid middle class. Warped free trade and Chinese buccaneerism, not free-market capitalism per se, impoverished millions of Americans.

Lots of young people claim to be socialists but are instead simply angry because they cannot afford a home, a new car or nice things in their "woke" urban neighborhoods.

Usually, Americans become more traditional, self-reliant and suspicious of big government as they age. Reasons for such conservatism have often included early marriage, child-raising, home ownership and residence in a suburb, small town or rural area.

Today's youth are generally marrying later. Most have few if any children. Twenty- and thirty-somethings are not buying homes as quickly or easily as in the past. They are concentrating in the urban centers of big- and medium-sized coastal blue cities such as Boston, New York, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle -- but often in dead-end jobs that pay them just enough to get by and enjoy the perks of cool life in the big city.

These are the ingredients for a culture that emphasizes the self, blames others for a sense of personal failure and wants instant social justice.

Finally, schools and colleges have replaced the empirical study of economics, history and politics with race, class and g****r indoctrination.

Few young activists of the old Occupy Wall Street bunch, and few of the current violent A****a street fighters, know the 20th century history of "socialists" who were actually hardcore c*******ts. Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, Soviet Union strongman Joseph Stalin and Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong each k**led millions of their own people.

Today's students romanticize Che Guevara and Fidel Castro because they are clueless about their bloody careers. The Castro government for over a half-century was responsible for the murders of thousands of Cubans and Latin Americans in efforts to solidify Cuban "socialism" throughout Latin America.

When our schools and colleges do not teach unbiased economics and history, then millions of youth have no idea why the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Japan became wealthy and stable by embracing free-market capitalism and constitutional government. Few learn why naturally rich nations such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela -- or entire regions such as Central America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia -- have traditionally lagged far behind due to years of destructive central planning, socialist economics and coerced c*******t government.

The handmaiden of failed socialist regimes has always been ignorance of the past and present. And that is never truer than among today's American college-degreed (but otherwise economically and historically illiterate) youth.

AOC and her band of unhappy DemonRats are pushing for abolishing E*******l College...My question is why nobody worried about EC when obama was running for a President in 2008 and ree******n in 2012???.....All of a sudden when T***p w*n in 2016 and looks like he might win his ree******n in 2020 E*******l College is evil....So my question is why now????....Why you didnt worry about EC in 2000,or 2004,or 2008...etc....And btw, what would happen if by any chance Trump wins popular v**e???..Are we gonna go back to EC????....This is BS and all of you know it!!!....Trump is more popular then you think..There is such thing as silent majority,when people want to v**e for him,but afraid to say it out loud because of thugs like A****a that think violence will dissuade potential Trump v**ers v**e for him...But im telling you people love this President....So in conclusion...AOC and the rest of Rats, be careful what you wish for!!!

Hmmm.. I have a f**g on the front of my house.. where I live...There are more American f**gs then not... Someone drowns in a river or lake, and if alcohol is discovered in autopsy & the Liberal media gets hold of the story, condemns & Then ANY Alcoholic beverage is banned, For All and Anyone!!..Never mind that most are responsible!!

Open Carry! & The powers that be leave me the hell alone.. I pay taxes..as well as Property taxes on a house that I own outright, no mortgage No banks, No bulls**t.. and I Like it that way..

One of the Funniest things, Being a CA. native..and having Left it, it's allowed me to look back on some things... SacraMental, bein the state capital.. I was always amused & Pleased by the fact that politicians seemed to forget that there was another 663 miles of CA above Sac.. & THAT was just fine with most of us, and the Last town I lived in in CA. Was Foresthill, CA, just up the road from Auburn which was about 45 minutes out of SacraMental...Foresthill, is comprised of: Bikers, Cowboys, Veterans, Loggers, Salt of the earth folks and we all knew what an honest days work was....

Here's the thing with Gov't as a whole, while some of the Right claim to be about "smaller gov't" and Libs want to be in control of Every waking moment in anyone's life at Any given moment.. when MOST of us want to be left alone..

So the "Nanny State" needs to go WAY the Fk away!!... and Tear down these potential political walls being put up by the FAR Left Progressives.. I can't even call them Dems, and I've stuck up for dems, as far as the ones that were around when my pop was in the fire dept in L.A, City... "Blue Collar" Dems or as I guess they call them Now.."Blue Dogs".. those are the dems that we could ALL reach across the Isle and compromise, this s**t today is soooo far removed from that it's sad...

I actually said when PR said that that city council member should have been on the right.. I said he should stay exactly were he was, and that he was the ONLY Dem in Years that I had seen, come out and call out their own Party..Not to mention.. (hahaha as I mention it)..They wouldn't have listened to him had he been on the right side of the isle, and libs can TRY to debunk that all they want...

I'm not full of h**e, & I'm bettin not so many on the right are... The Progressive Left has put Everyone on the defensive.. with the whole Bulls**t race card.. etc etc and group h**e etc etc ad Nausea!!.. I think that we need to be on the offensive!!...However!!!~We need to do it with Class, not vitriol and h**e, name calling and all that other bulls**t... be freakin People.. and talk to others as they are... People!!~Am I wrong?..

I couldn't believe how close Romney came to being even considered as a president. He made hundreds of millions of dollars consulting with corporations as to how to work the system to make the most money possible taking manufacturing overseas. This put a visibility to the policies of subsidizing and rewarding corporations with hundreds of millions in profits to take their jobs overseas. Had people pulled their heads out of their butts those policies could have been reversed to penalize them instead of paying them, and it would have saved millions of jobs.
