The Left's Coming Counter-Attack  (http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/12/the_lefts_coming_counterattack.html)

The Left has been quite busy, for over a century now ... they never gave up, they have dialectical materialism working in their favor ;-)  Attack, counterattack .. history continues, in spite of Fukiyama.

Every time I peek under to see what PR's up to, it's always a new low.

American Thinker (an appellation that is correct on only one account) is utterly untrustworthy.  FFS, their latest article alleges that Obama is secretly glad that Clinton didn't win.  I mean, how stupid do you have to be to take that seriously?  If you Google "Obama conspiracy theory American Thinker", you get no shortage of hits, including a claim that Obama threw up some sort of Islamic gang sign (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obamahandsign.asp) fueled primarily from a desperate desire to see Obama as some sort of jihadist villain than by any remotely rational basis.

The article that PR posted, apparently in agreement, alleges that global warming is "alarmist junk science" produced by an echo chamber simply following the orders of government elites (citation needed).  Once again, it takes a special kind of stupid to take this stuff seriously.  Congrats, PR, for living the dream.

The left has the recipe for the Marxist utopia, it would work, it must work.

All those who tried to build utopias, ended up with mountains of dead corpses.
Can't be done. But some will still try.

Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. … In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society. -  Antonio Gramsci

Wait!  What about the workers paradise in Saudi Arabia? We must send this English chap to a reeducation camp before it's too late. And don't forget, Obama is a reptilian, secret Muslim, communist Nazi anarchist atheist.

Obama's early Islam, in Indonesia, is something I like about him.  It is a shame he felt he needed to hide it under an invisible hijab ;-(

What is funny, with Obama or any would be messiah, is how people project their hopes or fears upon the object of their personality cult.  That alone should make any sane person never want to be famous, infamous or politically prominent.

Time magazine has declared secession ... an act of treason, as the Democrats did before, back in 1861.  An attempt to suborn the Electoral College more serious than individual attempts to bribe/threaten Electors themselves.

So can we use the whole island of Cuba as Guantanamo, now that Fidel has died?  We are going to need a lot more room for felony tax evasion.

I would like any liberal, to make any reasonable defense of this treason.

Resistance to carbon credits was actually an anti-tax revolt, not an anti-science revolt.  The anti-science revolt is a false flag, a distraction.  The real story is how the government needs you to pay 100% tax on your salary, maybe greater than 100%, because Americans have a belief that they can apply financial liability on their unborn children.

Here in the US, the city of Dallas is trying to "Detroit" itself in January.  The mayor of Dallas has filed suit against his own government, using his own money, to stop the attempt of the police and firemen from bailing precipitously from the city pension system (which since Dallas can't print money like the Fed ... is creating a cash flow problem for them), a bail out of the burning plane created by the city council that has backfired.  The fear now is, the Texas state government will tell Dallas where to go, like Gerald Ford told NYC in the 1970s.

Mathematics is a bitch, unless you are the Fed.

You confuse liberalism with Communism.  That is like confusing conservatism with Nazism.  Please don't be stupid like that.

Communism is inconsistent with liberalism. Liberalism is all about free and open multi-party democracy, freedom of expression and self-determination, the recognition that all human beings are equal under the law, and so many other good things that were crushed by Communist dictators.

They're basically the same as Nazis, barring their economic policy: they were totalitarian thugs who oppressed the people. They were right-wingers.

As much as the right wing-nut conservatives annoy me, they still want a free country too.  Just with them on top.

As posted elsewhere ... labels both reveal and hide.  But there is no other way to speak to ape people.  The neb-libs aren't liberal, and the neocons aren't conservative ... that is just part of their deceptive branding.  I would clarify it as D=R=T .. and T stands for Treason.  C and N are both E ... and E stands for Extremism.

Don't be sorry.  You're not the one who screwed up.

Besides, if we had to apologize for the stupidity of our neighbors, I'd be apologizing 24/7.  Just in the past couple months, a NC resident shot into a pizzeria because a bunch of alt-tards thought it was a secret sex dungeon and another genius started a wildfire in the mountains allegedly because he was bored.

You have to have an invite, from the billionaire that invited both Clintons to his fantasy island, there is where you find the sex dungeon.

The shooter was a listener to Alex Jones' propaganda. I just started a thread about it:

Is the problem free speech, or that we don't provide proper mental health support to patients?

Be careful what you support, the Chinese Communist Party is watching.

Free speech is not the problem.  Stupid speech is.  When some voters accept irrational claims, contradictory claims, and proven falsified claims, THAT is a problem. 

We don't need better self-chosen candidates, we need smarter voters who can choose better candidates to start with.

You are mistaken.

We need better candidates.  If there had been better candidates, perhaps more people would have actually voted. 

Not voting does not mean that one is dumb.  It just means that one has realized the voting system is a complete farce and there is no need to vote until it changes.

Also, voters do not choose the candidates who enter the presidential election.

Argue over semantics if you want.  You don't live on a farm, and even if you are, you are probably dependent on the city.  So you are a slave.  If your owner wants to liquidate human inventory, you will be liquidated.  Welcome to Animal Farm.

Voting sometimes results in a choice of the populace.  Clinton and Gore, for example.  But then there is the Gerrymandering that results in elections of stupids or crazies like Bush Jr and Trump (in that order) who initially get elected by minorities.

I have honestly disliked the Electoral College all my life.  It is anti-majority, the States have passed laws to prevent the original purpose of it (to overrule dangerous voter decisions), and not all States are equal in representation.

So my dislike of the Electoral College is not new or partisan.
