The people who take the second amendment too seriously
What exactly is too seriously? That our Founding Fathers thought enough of it to put it in the Bill of Rights? That having guns and a militia was what allowed them to fight the Revolutoin and win? By the way, back around 2000, someone campaigning for 3rd district in my city told me that Democrats were trying to disarm the civilians and revise history to eliminate as much understanding of the Revolutionary War and why it was fought so that the younger generations won't understand how important and vital it was, and how vital the Constitution is. Next time you hear a politician whining about the Constitution just being a piece of paper, you better know they plan on robbing you of your Constitutional rights.

The problem is you don't understand at all what you attempt to criticise and end up misinforming people.
YOU should know about disinfo as you are doing it now. Currently, a key strategy of the Democrats now is to pretend that Barack is a centrist. It sounds to me like you are engaged with this type of rhetoric full speed ahead.
You ought to try studying the strategy of Fabian socialism to see exactly how it is being employed by the DSA within the Democrat Party. Next you can listen to the words of Lenin to see that he knew that Marxist principle is that socialism is a bridge to the more dramatic communism.
Next you can admit that Universal health care and Universal pre k are both socialist programs based on Marxist redistributionist theories.
You have given me no clues except your own little disinfo campaign. I truly feel sorry for people who believe that Utopian bull.

Isn't it amazing how democrats feel like anyone that doesn't agree with them is either stupid or a shill? Like it's not possible to come to any other opinion but theirs if you are an intelligent "right thinking" adult?
While I'm not a fan of the Right or the Left I do find it telling how the left seems to want to shout down, muzzle, or outright ban the voicing of opinions that contradict their party line.
It's a pretty glaring sign of how valid someone's arguments are when instead of responding point by point to what you have to say they instead tell you you have no right to say what you've just said.

You are trying to pidgeonhole me into a stereotype.Yes, I am conservative, but leaning Libertarian and I don't care for RINOs who lean to the left. I am well aware of the Hegelian dialectic and "Managed conflict" described by Antony Sutton. I want more liberty and less Statism(either democrat or republican). I want free enterprise not monopoly capitalism.
What would you rather be doing? Working for a private business or a State run collective farm? I have read your posts over the months and you appear to lean toward Utopian ideals, and you may be sincere, but my view is Utopian ideals are naive at best.
Now, shall we discuss the World Council of Churches and the UN?

The democrats are almost as bad as the republicans, but you mistakeningly think republicans are super patriots when in fact they are the ones who constantly burn the midnight oil conjuring different ways of starting as many global conflicts as possible to enlarge the military-industrial complex, while at the same time eliminating as much of the welfare constructs as possible.
If you think the republicans care about the constitution more than democrats you are probably not paying attention because you let you're preconceived notions dictate what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
Why would you have a problem with redistribution unless you are really that well off?

China is one of the largest countries with human right's abuses, not saying the U.S. is exempt. But surely the record shows what can happen to an unarmed population when they have no means to defend themselves against would be aggressors.
IMO the opinion of China doesn't carry much clout. Just have a look at Tibet where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights including the rights to self-determination, freedom of speech, assembly, movement, expression and travel are revoked or limited.

Why would you have a problem with universal healthcare unless you can afford to pay for out-of-bounds rising healthcare costs?
I honestly cannot comprehend people like you,
Collectivization in the Soviet Union was enforced under Stalin between 1928 and 1940. The goal of this policy was to consolidate individual land and labour into collective farms: mainly kolkhozes and sovkhozes. The Soviet leadership was confident that the replacement of individual peasant farms by collective ones would immediately increase the food supply for urban population, the supply of raw materials for processing industry, and agricultural exports. Collectivization was thus regarded as the solution to the crisis of agricultural distribution

Well it sure seems like you're a yes man for the Democrats. Contrary to your signature. Don't get all butt hurt either. I have read alot of your posts and you and I probably agree on more than we disagree. ~$heopleNation
I look down upon both capitalism and communism.
I will live in the real world.

Well, applying your kind of logic, why would you be FOR redistribution if you weren't hoping to get some of that free stuff from other people's paychecks?
Two can play that game and I'm onto yours.
