Back in the mid '80 I was reading the Ayn Rand books.  I mentioned them to some of the leftist feminists I worked with as a rebuttal to some of their absurd views.  To my astonishment (see what I did there), they all said they LOVED Ayn Rand.  To this day, that surprises me because almost all of her views were diametrically opposed to those leftists.

They justified it by saying that she was a "strong woman".  But if they thought it through,and they admired her, then they would NOT take the views on society that they did.

There was borderline rape and the “strong woman” loved it.  Lol, leftist feminists.  Although back in the 80s they weren’t like the ones today, who will sue you into oblivion if you try to ask them for sex.

Feminist in the 80s:  I can be a strong woman and still appreciate an even stronger man.

Feminist today:  We don’t need no stinkin man.

The problem with leftist feminists or leftists in general is they don’t understand basic economics. They’ve been indoctrinated to believe in a system of parasitism enforced by authoritarianism. That’s all leftism is: An economic system based on parasitism. A non-leftist understands that voluntary transactions and profit motive in the context of a truly free market result in the highest productivity and richest economy.

As far as I can tell, the biggest problem with a rich free market economy is that it allows people to become so comfortable and complacent that they forget where it all comes from and fail to guard their founding principles, allowing future generations (by taking over education) to be targeted by leftists who then undermine the whole system and here we are.

I actually think she is missing an important point. There is no right that anyone has to extort money from others to build streets in the first place.

So it becomes more complex when you have a government extorting money from the citizens and using it to build roads. It is quite reasonable for the citizens whose money has thus been extorted to demand that if it will be used to build roads that then groups of those citizens can apply for a permit to block those streets in order to protest.

Whether people can do that should be up to the private owners of the roads.

I’ve been the private owner of a road. It’s not so great.

  Now I wonder what all these campus riots are trying to distract us from?  or what are they setting up that we won't see?

  I believe it's a couple of things.  First, a distraction from the failed and failing FJB regime.   Also, a distraction to keep the media from focusing on Trump.

  Second, this is the prelude to martial law.  The FJB Regime desperately needs an emergency in an attempt to get nationwide mail in voting.   Terrorist attacks coordinated through out the country will give them the excuse "going to polls is dangerous" and "for our safety" mail in ballots must be used.

This administration reminds me of a freak show at the circus.

The circus analogy is excellent.  I remember going to a three-ring circus when I was very young.  They used one ring as a distraction as they dismantled the other rings for the next act.  Lions in cages in ring 1, then clowns in ring 2 as they dismantled ring 1, then acrobats in ring 3 as they set up ring 1 for something else.  Always distraction from the real dismantling and setting up something different.  Now I wonder what all these campus riots are trying to distract us from?  or what are they setting up that we won't see?  And the price for admission to this circus is all the money you have.

I think Martha’s Vineyard enclave of “elite” libs have caused the democrap shift wayyyy left. For sure there’s moderate dems but they’re either being blackmailed or just sucking it up to go along. They are definitely organized with all of them voting together, unlike the republicans and RINOs. Could be the reason some are retiring.

  I believe many of the "blue collar" democrats have found themselves in the same position as conservatives in 2016, that is wanting change but laying low and quiet.

  The ultra radical left that has taken over the democrat party are not that large, it only appears that way due to their hold on the corporate media.   Unfortunately the moderate democrats find themselves in a position of helpless as they are afraid of the terrorism and lawfare tactics of the radicals.

  Both the republican party and democrat parties have failed and don't represent the majority of Americans.  Conservatives are open about this, but democrats still try to defend the party, that's why I would be interested in hearing why.   Perhaps they can enlighten us.
