The Debate Lesson: America Now Has an Openly Socialist Party

“With all due respect to Senator Sanders, I don’t think the revolution is going to come, and I don’t think the Congress is going to pay for all this.” Jim Webb
That quote about sums up the plans of every other candidate on the stage at that "debate."

As long as the conservatives keep voting for the GOP, evil wins, and that is the goal of the Statist Party.
There is little daylight between the two major parties. It is like sticking your head in a oven at 400 F. or 375 F. Just a matter of how fast you will have life drained away.
The "Statist Party" the Republicats... Some are just more overt.

Seig Me No Heils, turn your back and walk away. There are always other choices that do not include a coalition of greater and lesser evils.
That is quite troubling. It would appear that many have been drinking the koolaid in schools and colleges. Have parents and grandparents made it their business to know what sort of political and economic philosophies have been taught to their children in these institutions for the last few generations? It would appear that the answer is no. :(

But Bama boy can think of a cousin and his wife who have not grown brains politically speaking up in Massachusetts.
They are as old as I am, my cousin was a musician in a large orchestra and and I recall them mentioning in a letter how happy they were about Obamacare coming down the pike.
Libtards support the corrupt. . .
I am most offended by the second camp. If they are intelligent enough to know what they are doing, then they know they are doing wrong to those of us who also know. We who are not sub-humans, but adversely impacted need to put them in their place. Tar and feathers is too good for them.

The book details the issues with the British and their perceptions of the international scene, the balancing act of budgets vs battleships, the impact of the bomber on perceptions of how they would fare in a war and their designs. Then it cover WW2 and detailed ship history. A very good book on the subject, but part describes some of Winston's brighter moment where the Navy wanted new battleships that could actually go up against the Bismarck class, as their ships were mainly from WW1 and quite inferior. Winston canned the work on them for a year, and then had several merchant ships redone to look like battleships and aircraft carriers, which were sunk very shortly after. He also had a bad habit as First Sea Lord of ignoring the admirals and going off on hisd own tangents in regards to priorities and designs. Some were good, some not. He was also the one behind the "out of the box" thinking that developed CAM ships (carried a fighter you could launch, but not recover, pilot bailed out into the sea and hoped to get picked up), as well as the myriad D Day projects.
Think Halloween.
Didn't do as much as I had hoped for him...
Bernie Sanders provides an alternative. Unfortunately however, Sanders is nothing more than a place-holder for Hilary. At the appropriate time he will either flame out for his stupid politics or more than likely, he will bow out throwing his support to Clinton.
He already set the stage for that act by saying supportive things for Hilary. It is a game that the Democrat Establishment is playing to get the candidate they really want, tainted as he is, the nomination!!! For what its worth!
They'll work out that that math doesn't work by age 30.
My kids are in kindergarten and first grade. :)
My high school friend is a logger. Was preparing to send his son off to college. The son had picked Ducks and Roses AKA EMU for Earth Muffin University AKA University of Oregon. "Why are you sending your son to a school that has openly declared war on your means of paying for it and family survival?"
Two second later the UofO paperwork hit the trash and one of the alternates moved into first place....delayed for some investigating.
That's what it takes. Boycotting mediocrity.
Military retirement medical is crap outside the country and VA is crap inside the country unless you know someone or paid someone off. - and so is Medicare. The doctors where I live and the hospitals don't like waiting years for obama to decide how to pay. So they stabilize at a very very low rate put you on the air ambulance and whoosh your back at Merciful Heavens Mercy Last Care - AKA ObamaCare. Hillary was right in saying what she did... she just didn't come out ans say her party had failed failed failed to do anything but increase cost and decrease servoces. Obamacare is a bigger joke than Obama.
I'd like to see a good description of his medical costs after a life of absenteeism and never holding down a job.....
Health insurance fails to provide it.
Making insurance mandatory is government's irrational answer.
Yet the "debate" moderators never points this out.
TANSTAAFL.
Health Insurance with their deep pockets AND Government with their bought and paid for regulatory powers failed to provide. in the early fifties five percent of our family budget went to health care - no problems. Government stepped in and bingo nothing but problems ever since. Yet the government cannot fund it's own programs or operate them properly ...Medicare...Military retirees medical care to name two right off the top of my head.
That said continue with one thumb added.
It's a positive feedback system. The "solution" creates more of the problem.
There must be a fairly large number of brainless people populating the voter rolls. Many who are members of the brainless community are part of institutionalized liberalism, who follow its irrational precepts because of family history, traditional thinking, and a hope for help via free stuff or services. Each and every idea put forth at the "debate" were either a giveaway without a way to fund it, or a complaint to fix something that really needs no fixing.
Exactly! Great summary.
Respectfully,
O.A.
So you are saying to the Rs "keep your powder dry!" As long as the fix isn't in. Today the pundits are claiming she won the debate, but polls say Bernie did...
Respectfully,
O.A.
At this stage of the game who cares if the polls think Sanders won! I doubt Sanders will even make it through the 3rd fake debate.
The Hilderbeast will be the Democrat candidate, and yes, the fix is in!
I wish they would stop "fixing things." Things only get more broken...

Does saying this make me pundit? Ouch That's Cold!
The first is political and inescapably obvious. While the Republicans cynically believe the current contest(s) is/are between candidates, the Democrats clearly display that they understand it is a contest of ideas. Ideas which they "religiously" embrace, the support of which they remain steadfastly united - right down to their root. Specifically that the “haves” unfairly obtain their largess either through LUCK, or more often, through some form of unjust EXPLOITATION of the “have-nots.” They then divide up the electorate into ever-increasing numbers of victims, using the same old suspects as the exploiters of said victims.
The second, and more subtle revelation, is that at the root of the Democrats ideas lay their united and unabashed support for the moral tenets upon which these ideas arise.
When it is demonstrated to them that their “victims” are the result of neither luck nor exploitation, they then draw the moral argument that the former (haves) are morally obligated to the latter (have-nots). Verbalizing whatever "equitable" standard of fair or just they might fashion in support of their contention, reminding all of accepted moral obligations as our brothers keepers, common good, or some variation thereof, they then mount their podiums.
It is my judgment, that unless or until the electorate; a) understands that the source of all wealth is freedom from the coercion of others; and b) that it is inherently evil to seek, expect, or demand, that which must first be produced by one man to then be provided to another; the travesty that is the destruction of our heritage of freedom will not only continue, but accelerate. It will do so because the alleged remedy of forced redistribution, most consistently embraced by the Deomcrats is, in almost all instances, the CAUSE of the alleged “victims.”
Meanwhile the Republicans continue to evade, ignore, or actually support the MORAL tenets that provide the “fuel” for such evil, while they apologize for the "practical" benefits of freedom and Capitalism.
Hilarious and Socialist Sanders were two peas in a pod, only differing on how MUCH the working class should be forced to give to their government causes. Clearly, both of them are extremely anxious to cover up Clinton's illegal email scandal, which should give anybody a strong suggestion as to these candidates interest in complying with any law.
Lastly, from what I was hearing, it was clear that the debate audience was intentionally packed with Hilarious supporters.
At the very least the 18 to 1 kill ratio of the Democrats of US Service personnel in Democrat wars should get through even to those who recite the Marine Prayer "Please God Don't Turn My head into a JAR!"
I'm not sure, from your disjointed comments, whether or not you are attempting to insult a decorated Viet Nam veteran. I'm going to assume that is not the case.
Lastly, Jim Webb's stand on individual gun rights strongly echos my own...if a stray meteor had crashed into the Democratic debate, his life would have been the one I would have regretted losing, the most.
As for his stances any number of the others would keep me from voting for him. It's a far far too left wing stance for my taste and I consider republicans in much the same light.
Second reason I swore that oat the Constitution ...means something to me. what's it go to do with this government?"
As for jarhead remark it came from a book I read long ago and far far away. May have been Clancy.
I read the post about the only error he made in that dog and pony show. couldn't pull up the u tube whatever as usual but it piqued my interest. I wouldn't have bothered for anyone else. Thus the power of U S M C.
Too many errors for whatever reason and as usual a lot of last minute last second unknown names showed up here the next morning....you are not in that category... so I tend to disbelief without independent vetting from a known member or my own research a lot of what is said. thus the pop quiz. The term ex and former marine are not new. They are really really old. they have their own special meaning...as any member of the Corps past or present can tell you. Nothing disjointed about it.
It's one way I honor them.
Not that I would support anyone from the left wing of the left anyway but it sounds like he said one thing but actively pursues a much further left agenda.
Everyone but Clinton on that stage were little more than window dressing. The staging, questions, lack of follow up, generalities and pandering... all Kabuki Theater at its finest.

This move has taken a long time with the help of lazy Conservatives that kept believing in a little evil is okay as long as 'my team' wins! A little communism is never enough, it just means a long term before completely taking over, which it almost has; proof of this is Obama'a presidency.
Question truly is are we going to keep falling for the oh Cruz, Rubio, Fiorino, Graham, Romney, McCain, Bush [41/43] are just a little left leaning its okay as long as the GOP wins attitude; or are we going to say HELL NO!! We are not giving anymore inches...
Because ladies and gentlemen of the Gulch there are not many inches left to give!
Look at the progressive take over of the 2nd Amendment in the 1950's over 80% of American's stood for their 2nd Amendment rights in 2013 Zogby poll 51% for 2nd Amendment 49% against and many of the 51% agreed restrictions on the freedom to own guns is needed...ah people the 2nd Amendment says "...SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED..." THIS MEANS NO RESTRICTIONS. Do you see how far the progressives have moved this line?
Same for Public State Education...to this day SCOTUS has ruled in its opinions [as does the US Const] that the federal has no RIGHTS in State Education; then how does the Fed Dept of Ed rule our schools curriculum?
I can go on and on about Income Taxes, EPA & OSHA [the latter two are not even federal agencies] but I hope the point as shown is enough to waken the sleepy minds that have been hypnotized over the years.
This is afterall why Ayn Rand wrote; Who is John Galt?
She saw it happening first hand in Russia then in America.
You forgot 'with a one party system of government.)
What we aren't is a small d democratically chosen large R Republic.

That was a good speech. People should not be embarrassed for their success. It is that success that is paying for the existence of the detractors. That particular point should be shouted from the rooftops.

You have to give those sneaky Communist/Progressives (Antonio Gramsci, Saul Allinsky, Cloward and Piven" their due. They have succeeded in snookering the other 80% of their party who do not fall into that category!!
I wonder if the other then Progressive 20% will ever get it?
. Whose on right? Really. And where is the center? Really. Once armed with that information a lot of click click click mysteries disappear and questions are answered. By yourself. Which calls for a new post. so don't look for it here
