One can argue that, in fact, it was American chickens coming home to roost. One notes with particular interest that it was Americans who funded the expedition of the Leninites to Russia in the 19-teens and what became the Bolshevik Revolution. And it is also of note that those financeers were Democrats.

It is a religion.

Then can have it with a knife and fork, or pureed on a spoon.

Yeah I have trans-pronoun grammar software checker. It's 80,000 terabytes of software. So hard to keep up haha!

Exactly, LOL!

Thanks! I didn't know that. I also notice the spelling of Kiev is now Kyiv. My spell checker passes Kiev, but red lines Kyiv. It's hard to keep up sometimes.

I recall reading that the men on the Lewis and Clark expedition would eat Nine Pounds of meat a day... mostly elk, deer, fish, some berries... Nine pounds. These guys worked -- they were true explorers. Most of the Libs that I encounter are your garden-variety lactose-glucose-glutin intolerant or some similar rubbish (yeah, I know ... I am cutting a wide swath here). I think of the preponderance of allergies nowadays -- that so many folks identify with their disabilities. Yes, as you indicate -- a great majority of the depressives in our population are Lefties. Anecdotally, I've found that they also have problems with their finances, marriages and lack of ambition. Their own lives are a tragedy -- and yet they want to control others.

The image of exercising a mandate ... force-feeding the Libs on red meat. Thank you for that image.

Whomever is on top of the feed trough wins. Dems have it for the time being. But the farmer will be coming to slaughter the pigs sooner or later. Be they Demicans or Republocrats.

It's a long haul that book. Don't do it all at once. I had nothing to do once so I read it all day. Book 1 took one week. Book two took 2 weeks, book 3 took a month. It ground me down just the Gulag was designed to.

That's part of the drug crisis. People are waking up and not liking the nightmare of choices they made. So they want to go back to sleep. China is willing to help infentanylize them.

Babies sucking on fentanyl tabs and alcohol and vape pens. Anything but to admit, I'm an ass, I sold my soul to the Commie University, they made me into a financially indentured slave, and I have nothing to show for it but this T-shirt! Whiskey helps!

Thank you... yes, the Leftist behaves like a three year old... their understanding of the world is that of seeing a thin veneer ...
Sharing is good, right? So we will legislate sharing (the govt will ensure that there is sharing)...
Health care is a human right? The level of idiocy in these people is shocking... or mildly so at this point in time.
It will be interesting to see how things mete out over the next 18 months or so -- with the food shortages due to "The War" and the lack of fertilizer components... and see how these Lefties handle real deprivations.

I am on page with everything that you have stated. And to emphasize ... I advance a question -- where does an angry drunk come from? They are created by the University -- legions of useless idiots. When they hit their late 30's and 40's -- the vastness of their disillusionment will be profound. I noticed a shirt recently ... on the front, the words "Whiskey Helps" -- it will help these idiots as they numb themselves to the shocking reality of their wasted lives.

I started reading The Gulag Archipelago from a downloaded PDF a few months ago. Yes. It should be required reading -- then discussed and its implications understood.

China, Russia, Cambodia, Cuba...again???

Yeah insanity.

I'm not agreeing with the argument just retelling what I've heard time and again.

I believe socialism and communism are evil, biblically so, as they each remove free will and self determination.

It is also said, and I find that it applies well, that "the definition of insanity is to try the same thing over and over again and expect a different result each time."

Thank you.

One for you, two for me.
One for you, three for me.
One for you, four for me...

It is good to be the one who counts the bread. It is bad to be the one in the bread line.

What idiot aspiring Communist thinks about this?

Oh God no I hate that argument. To the contrary, Capitalism worked in the USA because of the resources! Every little Communist thinks she would be a fair leader. Yet every human being has a selfish murderous two year old inside. We are all Hitlers. It's a good thing no one has all the power. They blame Stalin's Cult of Personality for the failure of Russian Communism.

I get liberals often telling me that The Gulag really didn't happen that way, it's propaganda. A Jewish friend tells me this. I told him the Jewish Holocaust never happened, that was all propaganda too. He hemmed and hawed. NYT reader, no wonder.

Advice, don't bang your head against a leftist. (A wall, it just hurts your head.)

Yes they do know what they want. Yes they will not admit it. When Solzhenitsyn published Gulag in 1973, describing the unpunished horrors committed by the Communists, the professors could no longer publicly extol Communism. So they went underground...

...enter...

Postmodernism! That's Communism on steroids. Think Deconstructionism. I call it Destructionism. You could call it Critical__Theory. Fill in the blank with anything you want to destroy.

Leftists are sneaks. They can't say what they want out loud.

Where's the beef???

I realized not to long ago, that Republicans, or Conservatives, have a tendency to vote, and go back to life. Some Republicans are banging the drumbeat, but not most.

The Democrats, however, are never content to just vote and get on with things. They are little evil elves banging on doors and writing books and papers every damned day.

Conservatives can't escape politics without a Gulch anymore. Every passing moment the Communists are chopping and hacking away at our country. While Conservatives sleep. We are late to their game, we have to fight back somehow. I don't think being a silent majority that votes every 2 years will cut it anymore. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Listen to those Democrats squeak through their electric squeakaphones.

"...and leftists wildest dream is to divest consequence from choice."

Absolutely. They take no responsibility. I think one of the best words that belongs under the class Conservative, is Responsibility.

I'll risk entering the abortion debate. Divesting consequence from choice is the exact heartbeat of the abortion argument. "I do not have to be responsible for my choices." That's what pro-choice means. "I can voluntarily have sex, get pregnant by accident, then change my mind and choose to shit the baby down the sewer. I get to be irresponsible. There are no consequences for my behavior."

When you're waving signs or screaming or rioting in a mob, you can divorce yourself from all of the consequences of your actions. It's a perfect environment for being irresponsible. Human beings generally don't behave their best when in mobs. Japan is an exception, they have high discipline and cohesiveness (and extremely low diversity.) When the government says put on a mask, they all do it instantly and no one fights, they just move onward and get along and help each other. I'm not supporting the Maskocracy, I'm just pointing out it's rare to get people to agree in a Diverse situation. Conformity and Diversity don't mix.

That's a good formula for insanity. Democrats want everyone to Conform to their world view. And they want Diversity. Shoving a 3 inch peg in a 1 inch hole. Idiots.

There are plenty of moderate Democrats but they have been shamed by the Progressive (Communists) to keep quiet. Buy-dem has bent over to the Communists and abandoned the moderate Democrats. He may have fairly well alienated the Center. Trump alienated the Center. It's like Chess, you have to control the 4 squares in the middle of the board. Control the Center space. Politicians are blowing off to the right or left and forgetting that some balance might win the day.

But Democrats are sneaky. That's why they came up with Political Correctness. What a big fat lie. A Democrat is politically correct. A Republican is...Republican. That is such a quarterback sneak. There's a passage in the Koran. Paraphrasing, "A Muslim may not lie to another Muslim. But a Muslim may lie to a non-Muslim. Never trust a Democrat. You never know if they are Closet Communists or reasonable Liberals. Are t here any reasonable Liberals remaining? (I was gonna say left, lol)

I am going to order it.

The red scare of the 50s was in fact almost spot on. Ostracizing people like they did was not Constitutional. But the damage was done. The Virus of Communism was inserted into America by the Bolsheviks, the Beatniks and the Beatles, look that up.

A bunch of idiots singing "Imagine," not knowing the heart of the lyrics are lifted right out of the Communist Manifesto.

"No countries, no religion, no money, nothing to fight or die for, a Brotherhood of Man." Marx.

Sorry Beatles fans if I'm trashing your band, and fond memories. But The Beatles were a Communist virus. Far more deadly than a biological weaponized virus.

The DNA of Communism has spilled into the minds of the social "scientists" in the Universities and they are replicating out copies of little angry Communists. Legions of useless idiots with immense debt and useless degrees. As they work at menial labor, or no labor, their anger and resentment and sense of injustice magnifies. These kids are going to be a problem. They are going to eat the elderly. Already you've seen that T-shirt they wear, "OK Boomer."

History, Communist history, repeats itself. Thanks to the Communists in Universities NOT teaching Russian history and the awful things that happened there. Gulag Archipelago should be required reading. Right after reading Engels and Marx.
Engels=Capitalism sucks.
Marx=Utopian solution.
Solzhenitsyn=Communism really sucks I lived in a gulag!!!

I challenge anyone to read the book it is a 1,800 page scream against Communism.

Thanks, I spell it "skiy" because that's the Russian male ending. "skaya" is female. Just to be an asshole because the US media can't spell.
