And this is why the Republicans are shooting themselves...
Sep 13, 2019, 5:36 AM
|

...in the foot and putting another in their own kneecap for good measure.
There was a time not terribly long ago the Republicans were the party of common sense and grounded ideology and cold hard reality...and they were the guys standing up to the folks who made Orwellian misrepresentation the operating order of the day.
Times are changing. And these dark-money PAC's are demonstrating just how much, and how much they're emphasizing the worst elements of the party of which I'm still a registered member.
Last night during the Democratic debates, failed would-be congresswoman Elizabeth Heng ran an attack ad on the right's favorite straw dog, Alexandria Osario Cortez. Mind, I'm no fan of socialism and I think AOC is well-meaning if naive (she's not even 30 yet, and it shows!) with a raftload of unaffordable and half-baked ideas that would bankrupt the country if implemented, but there's a world of difference between socialism and whatever brand of Communism it was they were practicing in Cambodia, where Heng is from. Which Heng knows perfectly well herself.
Socialism is distinctly not Communism, by the way, any more than Bush-or-Reagan-era Republicanism was Fascism or even close to being Nazi Party (though the current Party of Trump is trodding dangerously close to Mussolini territory in a number of key areas. Bear in mind, though, that the Fascists were just a garden-variety oppressive right-wing regime that happened to be unenthusiastically allied to a far worse one with the Nazis.) And even Communists would have flinched at the way the Cambodian Khmer Rouge treated everybody...which is kind of like if a race of giant insects landed on Earth seeking revenge for the way humans had treated their tiny cousins. Pol Pot was history's bronze-medal genocide, behind only Stalin and Hitler.
I really despise the false equivalencies being made in this video, and the insinuation that AOC - who is a candystore crusader - is somehow likely to go forth and cap two million people. I also dislike (intensely) the patently false notion that the Republican Party isn't being racist here. Folks, AOC is such an easy straw dog because deep-down too many people seem to be livid that a Hispanic chick doesn't know her place and needs to shut up and go mop another floor...a sentiment that is making her ridiculous and impractical philosophy more heard, not less. But it's precisely crap like this that is making a hero out of her to the left. You want to defeat her, stop elevating her to the status of presidential contenders. She's already gotten more press out of this than the candidates did.

"ARTICLE 118. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to work, that is, are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance With its quantity and quality.

ARTICLE 120. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to maintenance in old age and also in case of sickness or loss of capacity to work. This right is ensured by the extensive development of social insurance of workers and employees at state expense, free medical service for the working people and the provision of a wide network of health resorts for the use of the working people.
ARTICLE 121. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to education. This right is ensured by universal, compulsory elementary education; by education, including higher education, being free of charge; by the system of state stipends for the overwhelming majority of students in the universities and colleges; by instruction in schools being conducted in the native Ianguage, and by the organization in the factories, state farms, machine and tractor stations and collective farms of free vocational, technical and agronomic training for the working people.
ARTICLE 122. Women in the U.S.S.R. are accorded equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life.

ARTICLE 123. Equality of rights of citizens of the U.S.S.R., irrespective of their nationality or race, in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life, is an indefeasible law. Any direct or indirect restriction of the rights of, or, conversely, any establishment of direct or indirect privileges for, citizens on account of their race or nationality, as well as any advocacy of racial or national exclusiveness or hatred and contempt, is punishable by law.

These civil rights are ensured by placing at the disposal of the working people and their organizations printing presses, stocks of paper, public buildings, the streets, communications facilities and other material requisites for the exercise of th..."
So how did that socialism work out for the Russian peoples?

Well, as we know, all that was BS with the USSR, but a lot of those things listed are guaranteed rights for Americans. So what's the problem? I understand a lot of Americans want those rights to go away.

look exactly like that 1936 USSR constitution? I don't have a problem. I have a concern.
My concern is not that dems are making promises. All of us here know they will never deliver most of the things on their promise list. My concern is the number of dems who would vote for Bernie or Liz knowing that they are perpetuating socialism considering the promises those two are making.
We have a good constitution. The rights secured by our constitution are civil and possible to protect without having government run our daily lives.
My issue is that dems have begun to think government is the solution to mankind's plight. I believe the human mind is the solution not the government. I just don't want government to be part of the problem.
Yes, Trump concerns me. Every POTUS concerns me. The have too much power because congress is more concerned with keeping their seat than legislating.

But let's look at some of that constitution. Also, we recognize that their constitution is full of #### in a lot of areas:
A right to education. Free press. Free speech. Equal rights for all. Free religion and separation of church and state. Freedom of assembly.
Those ain't Soviet concepts, brother. Most of what's in that constitution is just straight up, good ole fashioned America copying. Of course, as we know, under the Soviets, it was complete BS.
I'm not sure you gave the best example.

Good for you, now focus on the differences and how they devastated the USSR people. Focus on the commitments which they couldn't keep and the similarities of those commitments to the promises the democrat candidates are making right now.

Maybe your point would be better served if, rather than blanket C&P a post that's loaded with great ideology along with the negative, you instead just pull out the negative. Otherwise, it looks like you're calling the great stuff terrible.
I don't believe the Dems can successfully implement anything truly socialist (or that any of them really want to), but if y'all keep rallying around Trump and his ilk, you're going to staring down the barrel of a big fat Dem White House and Congress that could possibly do it. Time for all of you to turn on this imbecile. Y'all have sacrificed long term security for temporary fringe comfort.

I wouldn't dare take excerpts from a document to make a point. Give me more credit than that. You're objective enough to read and intelligent enough to comprehend the specific promises which created the problems the USSR people and how they got the public to go along with the program by promising free stuff.

I'm saying if y'all don't abandon Trump--and fast--y'all will pay for this for many, many years. I know y'all naively think America loves this man, but they don't and they're ready to kick him out. He's a train wreck.
Not take excerpts? Dude, their constitution calls for a lot of fantastic America ideals like free speech, press, religion, equality, etc., and you don't want to take the time to remove that before you denounce it?
Good luck.

Yes. That part is indeed socialism. It's also why posting part of something can be so misleading.
Where it goes further - far further - and becomes Communism is undoubtedly in all the other articles you didn't mention.
The state determines everything. Where you work. Where you live. How much you make. If you're serving in the army or not. The price of all goods and services. Your criminal rights, or lack thereof. The ownership of all property. The list goes on and on.
It also doesn't mention the unofficial Party system that basically means that the key to social advancement and promotion is your dedication to the State's ideology as opposed to competency. Which means that the way you got ahead in the USSR was to join the Communist Party, become real devout, and advance up the Party's hierarchy and gain real-world promotion thereby.

from dem candidates? While we know they won't deliver on those promises we must note that many votes expect those promises to be fulfilled. The fact that these candidates have moved so close to making the USSR's promises should bother everyone.

Just because you're a Trump supporter doesn't mean you're some kind of Nazi, racist, or fascist.
Trump is a racist and a fascist and he's surrounded himself with people like him. You scoff at this while at the same time declaring the Dems want USSR Part 2.
You can't have it both ways. And you created a straw man out of my point.

Nobody comes to power saying they are gonnna cap millions, take over and ruin an economy and it reality it is a slow slide to that happening. Hugo Chávez did not begin to Nationalize stuff until year 6 after his other policies failed. Just saying the Dems are all lying on costs, how it will be paid for and until they lay it out in real world numbers it is panndering.

If they ignored her, the Dem party would likely keep her under wraps. But since they want to make her the straw dog as you say, it's only stirring up more youth and minority support for the Dems. They've played this one poorly.
Glad someone else sensible on this board recognizes Trump's push to fascism, and that fascism doesn't automatically mean Nazism.

The Repubs love AOC. She is great for them. Pelosi knows tbat too. Thats why she has worked so hard to get AOC to quiet down some. The Repubs are playing that well. People that cant stand Trump still think that he is their only option due to AOC etc. Repubs are turning the Dems into one giant AOC. Repubs just care about the swing states. Their plan plays well for their goals.

shid that America is addicted to but needs to get away from. Instead of taking AOC for what she is, a freshman house rep with no power, let's make her the face of evil. What's the most evil word in current conservative media?.......why, it's socialism!!! And there's your BRAND. Make an AOC commercial with fire, dead bodies, and skeletons.....because that's socialism! And that's a lot like communism, and we know commies are bad, so BRAND!
No different than McDonalds, "I'm Lovin' It", Coke's cute Christmas polar bears, or the "Yo quiero Taco Bell" chihuahua. They want you to buy something, and that something is that AOC is the devil incarnate, the evilest evil that ever eviled.
Real political discussions are replaced by marketing and memes with no actual substance. Reality is that unless you're under 10, McDonald's sucks; Coke is sugary shid that makes you fat; and the aperient properties of Taco Bell's food outweigh any flavor or convenience attributed to it. Whether you consider yourself a D or an R, don't believe the hype y'all. Have a conversation.

racially pocked treatment of AOC; be it media, interwebs, or casual conversation. While not all of her critics have racially charged motives, many of them do, and it's wrong to lend them any validation. Post-Trump, our everyday society will have much to repair just for normal non-prejudiced folks to get along better; not to mention we'll need to send trashy white nationalists scurrying back under the rocks from whence they came.

What is Trump's goto twit about women and especially
Sep 13, 2019, 3:07 PM
|

women of color? Low IQ, not smart, not intelligent...count how many of those he's put out regarding AOC or "the Squad" as he calls them and then picked up and re-twitted by the racist shidbags that follow him. Then see what was repeated on any conservative news show, blog, column. And where did he want to "send them back to"? It is not a secret that DJT doesn't like brown/black people, esp. women of color, esp. competent women of color.
If you're looking for an "I hate AOC, cuz she's a dirty Puerto Rican"...go to a Klan meeting or visit a Stormfront website. But you really don't have to be a master interpreter to understand that our politics and society have a real problem, right now, with divisiveness and racism. If that's fine with you, don't say anything. To defend it, let's everyone know where you stand.

The GOP should've turned on him long ago and worked to bring civility back to our political discourse, instead many have gone "all in" with him or most refuse to stick their neck out for fear of getting the dreaded insult twit and losing support...so they go along. Whether you want to acknowledge the racial component to our political/media climate or not is up to you. No BS...Go Tigers!

I'm sorry, she seems to be an intelligent

and articulate young woman that got herself elected to the US House a Representatives. Though it is probably the most left leaning district in the country, I think that would make her somewhat accomplished. As an inexperienced congresswoman, the green deal was a naïve venture, but she's kinda new at this. Maybe cut her some slack, even if you don't agree with her ideas.

She says exactly what she thinks and feels and no I will not cut her any slack. The extra rope could be used to figuratively hang me economically. She is more aligned with the stupidity espoused in Venezuela in truth

to hang you economically. Quit watching/reading conservative media and join a real conversation. If you don't want free exchange of ideas (no matter how opposed to yours they might be) then you don't want America. We literally came here for that privilege.

It seems a little counterproductive to call someone dumb right before you implore them to freely exchange ideas with you.
Secondly, if you treasure the free exchange of ideas, you probably should hope he keeps watching/reading conservative media, or the only place you’ll be exchanging ideas is inside an echo chamber. Although many people seem hell-bent on achieving that level of one-sidedness, I don’t think you’re one of them.
More often than not, the truth probably lies somewhere in between the media you and he consider credible. You eliminate either side, and you eliminate the truthful middle as well.

I do not wathc oread "conservative" media Slac, your assumption of a Fox news addict is rather insulting and not surprising at all as libs think anyone that disagrees with their ideas to be consumed by the loons on the right. Oh, I am all for a free exchange of ideas, when they come from the Twilight Zone I choose to press noise to mute the stupidity. Yes Slac, her ideas would be economic suicide for me, she wants nothing more than to tear down all and build a kumbaya commune. I listened to her, read her proposals and found them wanting at best economically juvenile at worst. SO feel free to dismiss her as just a freshman Congress woman, she has just begun the Long March.

people eater she is a flipdizzy-dingbat who lacks not only common sense but the common highschool civics and history education too. If she has an IQ above 110 I give her an A+ for keeping it hidden.

That question is a complete non-sequitur.

He painted the entire Republican party with that accusation...read the sentence before the line I quoted in his original post. There may be some that do, but it sure isn't a majority, much less the entire party.
And what a presumptuous, sanctimonious, and condescending thing to imply, that this Asian lady is some useful idiot being propped by a party of racists against AOC. I've heard her speak many times....she's intelligent, articulate, and appears to fully believe in her message. She's no puppet.

I agree you can't paint the whole GOP with that, but I would wager there are Americans ranking in the millions who would agree with the line after that.
