"Freedom to allow the government to make your choices for you."

How the hell can someone say that with any conviction without having his tongue snap out of his mouth and run down the hall on fire?

That is a concept that would have done George Orwell and the concept of "doublethink" proud.

Yea. Funny. Ha. Ha.

Socialism is the "The Twentieth Century Motorcar Company. From there, freedoms are eroded way until there is a totalitarian state. in "Atlas Shrugged". CNN and others refuse to do their homework on what Socialism is. Socialism hides behind the mask of a Utopian Society. The government takes care of every part of one's life, individuality is squashed, slow innovation or none at all. You end up with stagnant society. But, crime will still be there, taking advantage of the "sheeple". No 2nd amendment or 4th amendment and so on. CNN is becoming so irrelevant to the point of extinction.

That's the funny thing about socialism.
You can vote your way into it, but you have to shoot your way out.

Freedom to be stupid? They didn't need socialism tho discover THAT freedom!!! LOL

The liberal media is as pathetically unprepared for American rejection of socialism as they were for Trump's election. The problem is that most of their people were brought up in a public school system that taught them what to think instead of how to think. A fairly unified public stand against socialism runs counter to their belief that America is a greatly divided country, on lines of race, religion, and economic standing, which is the line of crap they've been selling.

People can also ask the survivors of the East Germany experiment.

At the moment Americans are free to chose the doorway marked "SOCIALISM."
Trouble is, once you step inside, a steel door slams shut behind to with with the clangor of being locking inside a jail cell.
It's very hard to get back out.
Rarely would the supposed elite class be persuaded to let go of power. Just ask the people of Venezuela.

It's freedom from having to manage your life. You can remain a child and the government will take care of all of your needs -- and give you a small allowance for toys.

Socialism is indeed about freedom ... the elimination of it.

Socialism covers freedom, with a pillow.

Yeah, it's very hot in Cuba harvesting sugarcane with nothing but a machete. Here a lib is free to mind his or her or its PC p's and q's while marching lockstep with a Jackass Party now led by a squad of very nasty children.

""President Trump and his pro-Trump media allies want you to believe all Democrats are socialists and they want you to believe socialism is destroying or even the possibility is destroying America," he hyped"

There is no need to hype about it.

Every thinking person knows what socialism/communism is.

" the left's embrace of socialism was all about “freedom” and saving America from “dangerous far-right populism.”


LOL...Freedom? The left has not demonstrated even the slightest understanding of what the term entails.

They talk about freedom when their intolerance and resistance to anything sane and normal that characterize thinking individuals have been subverted and suppressed by the most terroristic methods?

Talk about freedom when those who don't comply to their madness are vilified and harassed?

I always wonder what are these people like this Sunkara doing in the US? He would be much happier in Cuba...wait a minute. No, they don't want to be subjected to the nirvana socialism offers. It is much more lucrative to be a parasite in the US, spew his vile and be treated like a hero by the sheeple. In Cuba he would be harvesting sugarcane.

Well, me old dino has already admitted to my memory being vague.
What is not vague is how quickly libs would brand protests over the destruction of national history as being racially motivated.

I believe you are referring to the Confederate statue removal in Charlottesville. Many of those protesting the removal had nothing to do with white supremacy or racism at all, but thought it wrong to erase the nations history, which the Neo Communists are succeeding at a little at a time.

Vaguely remember some white supremacists peacefully demonstrating some place shortly after Trump was elected. They were attacked by Antifa. All the Fake News media wanted to talk about how bad the white supremacists were for fighting back.
No, folks me dino ain't no white supremacist (or what a lib would be asking me about now).
Don't worry, libs, all the races shall suffer equally under the wondrous wonders of socialism.
Uh, new thought. Looks like Jews may get it a lot worse, though.

One difference between an-tifas and fas it that the fas did not wear masks when pounding their victims.

Thank you. With more patriots like you, the world does no have to end in 12 years. Me dino so scared!

Ah, yes! Courageous heroes of the Left who wear masks and attack and overwhelm isolated helpless targets while protected by the strength and safety of a vicious mob.
Not to mention assistance provided by lib mayors who tell their cops to stand down.

Sounds like the secret to a productive stable society. I’ll take a big bottle that snake oil!
/s

Yes, it takes a free people to freely hand their freedom over to an elected body of elite betters with a promise to redistribute loads of donated free stuff.
As for The Gulch, do not let your heart be troubled for being shut down. Look forward to being required to listen to Big Brother speeches followed by tests on what you've learned. Both educational and fun!

Very rational. Sounds like something that these days might attract hurled “milkshakes.”

"I am. I think. I will."AR. I wear this on a t shirt, and I get some interesting responses....

I'm afraid that you are right, Comrade Dino. But there is The Gulch to go to until they shut it down.

Your haughty words inspire Comrade Me Dino to write the following~~
Our Armed Forces should be taught to march in the goose step fashion adopted by great dictatorships the world over to display the frightfulness of government might over its disarmed populations who may otherwise become a little too uppity with their mouths.
Remember, there is no government like good government. Just as there is no think like PC sanctioned group think. Power to the people!

Comrade Suzanne, we the American people are FREE to chose socialism with our votes.
Then it is all done. We have proudly chosen to put on the yoke of full government control and there is nothing left to do. Ever.
