Mayor Pete: Red Diaper Baby

You didn't answer the question. Progressivism and communism are both far left. Why is one wonderful and the other terrible?

Progressiveness is people like Luther Martin...And Martin Luther. They can be right or left of center and also center. Remember a guy named Theodore Roosevelt? Yeah a progressive Republican just like Abe Lincoln..
 
Yet Rush and Sean lie about almost all Democrats being communists.

Hell, they said Obama and Bill Clinton were. I'm sure Bloomberg will be a communist too.

That will be a neat trick! Although, Rush Limbaugh has spent a career proving that right wingers will believe almost anything if you scare them or play to their resentments.

Because no progressives are calling for state ownership of the means of production.

Without that, is isn't communism.

It's such a simple concept that it is amazing that conservatives still don't understand.
 
The OP presents an article written by a Right Winger, Paul Kengor, for a Right Wing Rag, American Spectator to warn us Pete wore Red Diapers as a baby and holds Radical views!

Mr. Kengor describes Pete's dad as a Radical Marxist and Communist. Kengor describes the English departments of major universities as the most radical of all university departments. Kengor describes Obama receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Notre Dame as a scandal.

Kengor warns us about the 'Cult of Critical Theory'. Kengor warns us that during high school, Pete wrote an essay complimentary of Bernie Sanders. Kengor warns us about Pete's heretical views on sexuality and abortion.

Does Pete scare you? He doesn't scare me.

Off topic, but I think the dancer's folks pillorying of Buttigieg is self destructive.

Pete would make a great VP. He is intelligent, educated, speaks multiple languages, ex mlilitary.

Basically what used to he called a "blue dog" iirc.

Who better to be the "boots on the ground" for a president?

And after eight years as VP he would have the experience he lacks now.
 
there are no communists in the Democratic presidential field.

There is no distinction between any of the Democrat candidates proposals and those of CPUSA that I can see.

There are no moderates in the Democrat primaries. Romney should run as a Dem.

That you can see is the important part.

You may have lost me with the Bold part of your comment. Did you reference Pete's stiff attempt to bust a 'Raise the Roof' dance move?

I like Pete... and hope he emerges in some important role, V.P. perhaps, in the next White House Administration. First, let's see how this DEM nominating process plays out!

Most importantly, let's unify in unseating Chump!
 
Just trying to get a handle on if you live your life by the ten commandments.

You know, given the threads that you start. And if I were you I would answer "no".

Who the hell are you to judge others this way?

There you go again. You literally have no idea wtf you are talking about but that doesnt slow you down one bit. I suspect that you spread lies like this because you have no ability to discuss any topic intelligently or honestly. No?
 
When a communist moves to America, they are embracing capitalism. They are some of the most fanatical capitalists around. You don't move to America to practice communism, you move to Cuba or Vietnam.

Nah, Canada and Sweden will do fine.

Autocorrect of "Sander's". They hate him.

And yes. I have been relentlessly pressing my wife not to really do the "Bernie or bust" thing.

This is just not the time.

He is so good at his job. Manipulating people emotionally.
 
Mayor Pete: Red Diaper Baby | The American Spectator

This is kind of a long piece but it's a fascinating read.

I know there are some things about Mayor Pete I certainly wasn't aware of and I don't think any media has explored.
Some examples:
Pete's father was a Marxist.
The parallel between Pete and Barack and their Marxist parents and other Marxist influences.
Pete immersed himself in Marxism starting at an early age - high school through college.
In high school Pete wrote a glowing essay on - wait for it - then Congressman & Socialist Bernie Sanders.

Nonetheless even with Pete's shallow media examination so far it's been obvious that calling Pete a moderate is preposterous.

The Red Diaper Baby piece concludes with ...
"No, this doesn't mean that Pete is a commie, a closet member of Communist Party USA, or that he, say, served as a presidential elector to the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party (as Bernie Sanders did). But it surely helps explain Pete's obvious cultural radicalism, which no doubt was something he would have first observed under the red-diaper roof of his father."


We've seen Mayor Pete in uniform, we've seen him on the campaign trail and in debates.
What's fascinating is contemplating when the media, or Mayor Pete's opponents, would want to get around to mentioning Pete's little known history themselves.
You'd think they would be aware of it by now.
There are examples of famous Communist/Marxist citizens of some note who have changed their thinking.
Pete should be given the opportunity to explain his changes, if he's made any.

Meh. David Horowitz was a Red Diaper Baby too.
 
Fascism and Trumpism are both far right, why is one wonderful and the other terrible?



To dum-ho everyone left of Trump is a radical communist, not even worth bothering.

It was the American leftwing that loved Hitler. Your message is exactly false.
 
Petey is a moderate in name only, it is opportunistic dishonest branding, because Petey is not better as a person than to pull that.

He is extremely not qualified for the position.
 
It was the American leftwing that loved Hitler. Your message is exactly false.

The Republican Party in the 1930s loved Hitler and stood in FDR’s way of helping Great Britain. Everyone knows this.
 
You didn't answer the question. Progressivism and communism are both far left. Why is one wonderful and the other terrible?

I think most of them are missing the fact that Lenin is quoted as saying "The goal of socialism is communism".
