"Hold the Left accountable for what its ideology has wrought"

More accurately, we need to hold the leftists accountable for what they have wrought in the name of their ideology. That would require that we indict, try, convict, sentence, and execute the sentence on leftists for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Wouldn't the enemy be THEM?

The guy who proposed a 75% income tax is complaining that taxes are too heavy?

That’s rich

Fifty years and seventeen trillion dollars for The War On Poverty. When do we get that Peace Dividend from The War On Poverty?

Few people are as naive as Cal Thomas.

Hold them accountable in what way?

Obama think a 100 % tax is the way to pay back the white man and Jarrett would make it happen if she could.

Except, in order to try and execute them, you would first need to wage a civil war.

That is likely something the author would condemn based upon some of his other columns. I'm not sure he would even approve of the trial and execution part let alone a civil war.

Sorry Cal, nobody respects a weakling who is too "civilized" to use force.

Eggactly!
The party of perpetual victims always has the ability to blame the opposition for their very own failures. Somehow there’s got to be a way to make them pay for that.

If they have anything left after taxes, then the communist reality is that there is room for more taxation.

Unfortunately, most Americans will quickly sympathize with leftist politicians should efforts be taken to prosecute them to whatever extent for their ideological malfeasance. Victimhood is a pathway to elective power for Democrats and socialists. Winning the struggle rests with education and a restoration of American culture. This includes a massive PR campaign designed to reject, ridicule and financially/reputationally destroy the proponents of cultural rot and their disciples.

It is hard for a psychopath, or a group them who just happen to be in the pinnacle of power, to feel any sort of remorse for what their ideology has wrought.

Americans typically hate waste. It is why as children most of us were told to clean our plates because somewhere in the world there were hungry people.

I had to clean my plate because my Scottish/Irish Mom, having scraped for food during the depression, wasn't about to see me waste it at our table. She never once referred to "starving children" out there in an imaginary world.

Excellent strategy. And we are not doing it because???? Because the majority of the pubbies either don’t know why conservatism is better than socialism OR they believe in socialism and lie to us to get our votes.

When they do that, use derisive and humerus ridicule to destroy them. Be ready for them to lie.
