The reason we have seen a "march to socialism" as Dave says is not because of capitalism failing.  It is due to our government making it too difficult to actually exercise capitalism.  We don't have capitalism anymore.  We have regulations, and taxes, and more regulation, and taxes.  In addition we are dealing with a cabal of government/media/education which has been indoctrinating people for the last fifty or more years to be essentially communists.  The urban centers are taking over entire states and dictating their politics just by sheer numbers.  We are becoming a Blue country due to the urban centers and their corruption.  Combine that with the indoctrination by our institutions, and you get what we have now.  Fascist Failure. 

See... this is where you can actually follow up with your perspective instead of a one line sentence that leaves us- wonder what that might be???.

Really, Dave?  I thought we might leave this crap over at POA.  You expressed an "opinion" that "It is another election cycle with terrible choices."  It wasn't a fact, it was your belief. 

I did something similar.  I expressed an "opinion" that it isn't an election cycle with "terrible choices" from my perspective.  I'll bet most people here probably understand what I was conveying.  I'm sorry you missed it.  So I'll explain it for you.  These aren't terrible choices on the GOP side.

I think everybody does that. The document is only about 4500 words. That's like a 22 page 8 1/2" x 11" booklet to run the USA with. People say, if it's not in the constitution, then it's not legal, but there really isn't that much in the constitution, so it's more like everything is legal until the SCOTUS says it isn't.

Actually, the "If it's not in the constitution, it's not legal" is a federal thing, and is explicitly stated:

Amendment XThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

So, if it doesn't say the feds can do it, by the express terms of the Constitution, they cannot.

Honestly, I was going to post a whole big long rant that would go down the page with all kinds of foul words. I went away and came back and I'm better now.

It's not about black and white. The sooner we get past that garbage the better. It's all about culture. It has been for ages now.

Anybody ever notice how when a person with dark brown skin, dark brown eyes and curly dark black hair comes from a place like Kenya, or England, or Australia and doesn't look like they just got out of prison and speaks proper english, even if broken and with a thick accent, they are immediately accepted.

Anybody ever notice how when a person with dark brown skin, dark brown eyes and curly dark black hair goes to university, gets a degree and takes on a profession that they are immediately accepted.

Anybody ever notice how when a person with dark brown skin, dark brown eyes and curly dark black hair takes the office of City Council, mayor, assembly person, representative, senator, attorney general, district attorney, police chief, sheriff, CEO, engineer, doctor, scientist, astronomer, astronaut, fighter pilot, US military General, or President of the fucking US of A that they are immediately accepted?

This is what we have a problem with -



Trash culture that breeds more and more misery, ignorance, death and incarceration. Stupid makes more stupid over and over again.

This is what we (Americans in general) want-



Now, obviously we don't need to see folks wearing a suit all the time, what everybody wants that loves America, other than just their sorry selves is- assimilation. Do as the dominant culture does. Educate your kids. Inspire them to do better than you do. Want them to learn and not just shut their mouth when they ask questions. Engage with your children and their future. Have them be just like the smart kids in school no matter what they color are.

Millions of people with dark brown skin, dark brown eyes and curly dark black hair, have done exactly this and it has turned out incredibly well for them!!! Learn from them instead of choosing to reject them and cling to an identity that is broken and a proven failure. Don't give in to the "poor us, we have been wronged, now you owe us" culture. Step above that shit.

"Black lives matters" is a crappy joke. All lives matter. It's backward trash culture that doesn't matter and it needs to fade away. Anybody with dark brown skin, dark brown eyes and curly dark black hair needs to work towards this end rather than defend this failed culture. At this point, it makes no matter how we got here, it just matters how we move ahead.

Skin color doesn't matter. Character does. The people and "victims" that the OP posted about, were of poor character and clung to the old culture. They ultimately fell victim to it. Crooked, murderous white cops is part of that culture. Those cops need to be punished if they are truly guilty, but the defenders of the victims have to ask themselves, how did these people get there and what could they have done to never encounter that misery?

Having said this, there obviously are hold outs to the old fucked up white culture white people have had in the past. There are those that want to cling to ideas of "racial supremacy". It will take time to completely cleanse society of this rubbish and we are working on it. It's pretty obvious is if you really look around and not just at the sensational headlines that this is so.

I have to give serious credit to the President.


He's claiming that his executive actions are intended to make people safer.  And the reason I need to give him credit, is that they will.  By his actions, many more Americans will arm themselves in order to do so before he achieves his wet-dream of Australian-style confiscation.  By virtue of those people being armed, they, and the communities in which they live, will become safer places.


Well done, Mr. President.

This latest dust up could be the exact excuse Sanders needs to pursue his socialist revolution as an Independent, while taking his crowds with him.

Starting with Michegan, 26 states have refused President Obama's scheme to resettle Syrian "refugees" in their states. Shepherd Smith at Foxnews is going apoplectic over this as well as a host of progressives in and out of government.
The President clear said that ISiS was not a danger, so why is he so firmly demanding these "refugees" are in such peril? If ISIS is not a problem, how come the "refugees" aren't being sent home?
The whole scheme is a traitorous conspiracy to move future democrat voters into states that can be changed over to insure the democrats don't get their asses kicked next November, at the peril of bringing gin tens of thousands of violent terrorists along with them.
Typical progressive logic.

Apologize if my comments repeat previous ones (haven't read them), but here they are:

1) I think that, at least, a pause is prudent.
2) 10,000 refugees is a lot, but nothing compared to what Europe is dealing with.
3) Having stated 2), it is important to note that America is the prime target.
4) It is easier to get into the US in almost any other way than as a refugee.
5) We should also look at the ISIS inspired kooks who are already here.
