We live in a failing liberal world yet...

[Ahlevah]

There are rich people in every most state who do much the same thing. That is just reality. And that does NOTHING to negate his case that liberalism works in California and should be emulated elsewhere.

Yeah, but California is overwhelmingly controlled by progressives who hold it up as a model of what progressive thought can accomplish. And we've seen the dystopian reality as white, conservative, working-class families spent the better part of four decades fleeing it as well-paying manufacturing jobs in industries like autos and aerospace dried up. (I'm Exhibit A. I left there in 1994 and have been back once since, even though I was born and raised there.) Increasingly, the state has become Balkanized into two states: one for wealthy white people with their wine bistros and comedy clubs, and another of urbanized ghettos for the masses of poor Latinos and blacks who get tossed a bone by the system so they can subsist and be kept docile-like on the government-funded plantation.

California Needs a State Budget That Protects Children From Poverty

I have no idea how you managed to bring the monstrous trio (Hitler Stalin and Mao) into this and I honestly don't want to know.

our liberals spied for Staliln and gave him the bomb while he was slowly starving 60 million to death. OOPS!! Bernie Sanders honeymooned in the USSR. When Joe asked them if they were or ever had been communists they took the 5th. Do you know why?

Those weren't liberals, those were socialists and crypto-communists.

When Joe asked them if they were or ever had been communists they took the 5th. Do you know why?

Because they were crypto-communist swine.

I know all about the treachery of the CPUSA and their affiliated trash that included some Hollywood hacks. I don't need a lecture, much less a partly inaccurate one.

 

[James972]

I would much rather live a in a world not being run by bible thumping ideologists.

only out of pure illiteracy. Jesus challenged the power of the state and created the individual, and eventually America. Before Jesus an afternoons entertainment was watching people being eaten alive at the Colosseum. Do you understand.

oh and imagine the pure ignorance embodied by hated of the religious values that created western civilization while ignoring the religion that would cut your head off while you are alive if not for our Republican military!!

 

[James972]

I get my information from unbiased sources.

thats very immature of course. You can't know the bias unless you study it very carefully. An unbiased source is not going to tell you why capitalism is better than communism. Do you want to be moderate all your life when you could be extremely correct?

dear, liberals in general spied for Stalin and half the Democrats just voted for the Bernie commie!!! What planet have you been on??

Alger Hiss was an mainstream Ivy League liberal who spied for Stalin, where Bernie an open communist honeymooned!! And Hilary just endorsed him!!!!!!! Do you grasp it now??????????

Why not read Useful Idiots for a full list of the liberals who spied for Stalin??

Bernie has never been a communist, not ever.

Stop lying.

Hiss was a crypto-communist, so I don't know why you brought him up.

Is that the book about left wing dupes in America?

You're not very good at being an anti-communist.

The problem is that back in the 1980’s Sanders was outspoken in his support of communist dictator Fidel Castro as well as the Soviet-aligned Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

In fact, recently discovered video shows Sanders praising food lines as a good thing. Sanders asserts that countries where people don’t line up for food that the poor are starving to death because “the rich get all the food.”

While attending the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

After graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.”

.

“Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth,” Debs proclaimed. “They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world.”

In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery.

Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office.

In the early ’70s, Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies.

In 1985, he traveled to Managua to celebrate the rise to power of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He called it a “heroic revolution.” Undermining anti-communist US policy, Sanders denounced the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels in a letter to the Sandinistas.

Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in the USSR. He put up a Soviet flag in his office, shocking even the Birkenstock-wearing local liberals. At the time, the Evil Empire was on the march around the world, and threatening the US with nuclear annihilation.
Then, in 1989, as the West was on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.”

You seem to be operating under the willful delusion that I did not read it the first time ---- which I did.

Much of what you copied is somebody fears about what could happen in the future and NOT what is the current economical reality today. I prefer to deal with reality of now rather than the ideological based fears of later what might happen later. And your concluding statement is exactly that to a tee.

Many on the right favor sales taxes and property taxes while those on the left prefer graduated income taxes. Get over it. That is simply reality and is NOT an indictment of the California success. In fact, the California success shows why other should copy it.

That is pure disingenuous. Disingenuous means you are quite aware you are not telling the truth.

First of all, the rank of 47th out of 50 states credit rating is the reality TODAY. The fact that the Democrat governor of California admitted that the oultlook is not so rosy as Maher laugably suggests you seem to ignore, but that too is the reality TODAY. Next, Moody's Investor Service is not a biased source, they rank California last of the most populous states in economic preparedness for coming hardship... you can ignore that too... and the formula for taxing that is simply crazy and non sustainable....

You originally asked me to point out the facts but the fact of the matter is you ignore everything that contradicts your comedic conclusions anyhow...

So you;ve really nothing with which to counter. Typical no show on the merits.

How's Kansas doing?

yes because conservatives invented the nuclear bomb while liberals spied for Stalin. Stalin was slowly starving 60 million human beings to death while our liberals were working to give Stalin the bomb. Today our liberals are voting for Sanders who honeymooned in the USSR.

Really?

Who was the president that gave the go-ahead to build the Bomb? Was he a conservative hero?

And I think you're going to have one heck of a time trying to show that the physicists who designed and physically built the Bomb were politically conservative for the time...especially given that they were all very much a part of the academia that y'all so despise.

Oh, and one more thing. General MacArthur - who was indeed a noted conservative - wanted to drop the Bomb on the North Koreans after China joined in on their side. Truman said no. MacArthur complained publicly that the Democratic president wouldn't let him drop the Bomb, and Truman fired him...and MacArthur became a Republican hero.

better in the 1950's before the liberal upheivels of the 1960's. Today after civil rights we send more young black men to prison than were slaves in 1860, the black family has been destroyed, and the mentality is to have sex with strangers and kill the baby that results rather than to have sex with someone you love, form a family, and love the children that result. Isn't thinking fun?

Really? It was better when schools, restaurants, parks, and even water fountains were segregated?

Ah, but I forget! This IS "James972" I'm talking to!

(and still they wonder how it was they lost the minority vote....)

 

[Glen Contrarian]

it is law because liberals voted for it and conservatives 100% against. 1+1=2

It's called Democracy. You should try it sometime.

Each strain of the liberal policy mix had reached a different level. But 20 years ago, things had been underway for quite some time already. Lgtb people had been living absolutely wonderful lives for decades in Soho at that time.

LGBT's were never found in just one spot, but have been in all cities and towns all over the planet. Just because Soho had it nice didn't mean anything to the ones found in, say, Jackson, MS.

 

[Captain America]

We live in a failing liberal world yet liberals lack the IQ to see that liberalism causes the problems. If only we can have just a just a little more welfare, deficits, taxes, spending, entitlements, and regulations then liberalism will show its true worth! This is mindbogglingly stupid yet it is exactly what out liberal dum dums believe.

Of course it meant something. Most of the guys in Soho weren't born there after all and the ones that did move there that I knew all died of their live style but one. So it made a difference.

In that one area.

But the key to change is not for it to be accepted in one rather small part of one city...but everywhere.
