We won’t even need a person to be the cashier anymore. An automated vending machine handles the cashier functions all y itself. All the cooking and the cash register functions are done by the machine. We need fewer people since all we need is someone to clean and restock.

I tried to wake up one young lefty and finally told him that socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried and there is no way that it ever can work. His reply was amazing, in a very righteous tone he said, “I DON’T CARE WHETHER IT WORKS OR NOT.”

A lot of socialists understand that socialism does not "work", from the viewpoint of providing prosperity to the majority.

To the activist, though, it appears to work splendidly as far as providing power and wealth to the Party insiders. He's enthusiastic about socialism because he sees himself as having a future in the Party in control.

The purpose of becoming a Democrat party activists, is the hope of being granted a share of the graft.

It’s made an entire generation become much more politically aware sooner than before and they’re seeing the ugly side of the left. The left is publicly destroying themselves and don’t see it.

While there will always be an ingorant youth, this generation will not grow up thinking how the Dems want them to. I see some very aware young people.

Thank you. There’s also another wonderful book he wrote with Peter Collier, I think, called Second Thoughts. Had a profound effect on me back in the 80s.

I do NOT agree.. This puts JFK as a Conservative..

His stances would put most RINOs way left of center today >.< ... (He is more right than the RINOs)

This this is the point I was trying to make.. every decade (or so).. the “center” moves more to the left.

I noticed this shift during the Billery Clinton years... but I am sure it had started at least 50+ years before.

(I am holding a lot of info back, that many my age.. and way before me, would understand/.see)...

[Bikkuri]

Can you repeat that? ;^)

I doubt it will go 1) realize Dems are corrupt 2) switch to voting R.

Most likely it will go first to the socialist Bernie candidates. Makes more sense for 20 year olds. They are idealistic and don’t yet understand human nature and why socialism doesn’t work. But eventually they will come around.

It is good to have them all see how evil the Clinton Obama acts and policies are. How they are hurting the millennials and their families.

And Tammy Bruce!

They were very well educated in the need for self defense.

Outstanding! I, unfortunately, also read the leftist drivel on several different websites. When the subject of guns pop up, the usual suspects go off unhinged. But there is a fair amount of leftists that do understand personal protection and will say so. Makes ya wonder who you're standing next to at a gun show.

The worst I can remember.. is when I told my father (one of the original 42 SEALS (Vietnam)..) when I was about 29yo... “I am a realist, I understand thing as they happen”...

>.<

THEN.. after I went to Uni ... and then went on to serve 4 years in USAF, then to serve 3 years Army National Guard (while being a Deputy Sheriff).... I started to understand... >.<

What does it take (anymore) to understand the BIG picture, when even the smallest/youngest aren’t even taught the basics ...

FRiend, I am way past Archie :/ Thankfully, I have been trying to stick through this nightmare with you for almost a generation..

I am proud to have you as a TEXAN.. and I miss being one, myself..
Please don’t give up spreading the word. (And what it cost to get freedom in Tejas)..

Anyway.. Take care, and God Bless :)

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, yes. Interestingly, both Bruce and Horowitz had some background of violence in their lives.

It said McGovern'72.

I was too young to vote when I saw a magazine cover with his mug on it. At the time, I thought he would make a decent president. My first vote eva was for Ronaldus Magnus. I haven't looked back since.

“I DON’T CARE WHETHER IT WORKS OR NOT.”

Does not surprise me one bit :p

[Bikkuri]

typed 29.. meant 19yo

[Bikkuri]

I would be VERY happy to put them up front :D

[Chode]

welcome, i’ll look for it

[Sa-teef]

"....I was Meathead in my twenties. By my forties, I had morphed into Archie Bunker."

Hahaha...I can identify with that!!

[Bikkuri]

"The more rabidly radical they get; the more they push the other 80% to the right"

They don't move to the right.. they keep the same position, but keep moving the goalpost to the left...

Center now is way left of what JFK was :/
