The socialists are the greediest people! They are always concerned about what others have, especially the super rich like Musk, and they always want to steal what those people have earned. They are economically illiterate (or pretend to be) with no understanding of economic reality. They don't even understand something as basic as supply and demand. And they are rank hypocrites since they are often filthy rich themselves but without having earned it honestly through productive means but instead dishonestly as govt parasites getting kickbacks and through insider trading and the like. They never contribute anything positive to society or the economy (they don't even give to real charities) but only leech off of what productive people do.
In sum, they prove how evil socialism is: coveting the wealth of those who earn it, always trying to steal what others have earned, they idolize that money they want to waste on unproductive means, they make false gods of the wealth and power that they gain dishonestly, and they are always lying about everything they do to hide hide their hypocrisy and devious schemes. On top of all this they are murderers supporting the mass murder of babies in the womb and ignoring the innocent deaths from their failed schemes (open borders, covid, etc). That's half of the Ten Commandments that socialists routinely violate. They are evil!
After the latest elections in NY where the media was praising that "mayor" that they have for backing all the winners, I was thinking the same thing.
Isn't it amazing how wealthy all these leading "socialists" are?
Yet, you think their policies will make more wealthy citizens out of the have nots? Of course not. That's not how it's designed.
The leaders have got theirs, and they have the power, but they'll pull out all the stops to keep the rest from getting theirs. Through the policies they push.
Sadly it's low voter turnout, and voters who are ignorant and looking for the instant freebie, who are voting for these people. It takes no talent to promise freebies to people. And they know you throw the word freebie in there and you'll have them eating out of your hand. That has been going on since the beginning of time. There's nothing revelatory about what that thing running NYC is doing.
Unfortunately it's those who are falling for their schtick who are hurting themselves. Relying on freebies has rarely led to one's ability to pull themselves up to the next level of survival. It's easier just to stay where you're at and get the freebies. And that is the mentality these politicians are relying on. The only talent these politicians have is bamboozling their ignorant constituency.
Hilarious though how much they're pushing the "democrat socialist" phrase though. These socialists are smart enough to know that the connotation behind socialism isn't good. They know that people have fled socialist countries in droves and come to the USA to escape it. So they have to call it "democrat socialism" to sweeten the term. Even though the tenets have the same results.
You are a very enjoyable poster Trojan. You feel like a fellow Bear
Appreciated.
I guess through my father, and quite a few Texas relatives, the BU thing is definitely there.
And I was accepted there myself. Among other places. Though opted for USC. So there's that.
Was a different time in my life though. I was still having too much fun here to make such a lifestyle change. Friends. Surfing. You could have taken the boy out of California, but California was not coming out of the boy.
Plus there were those other, well, proclivities, that might not have fit in real well.
Even though at the time, they were proclivities that were only known to those who I chose to let in on my true life. I was raised very conservatively. With a real spiritual faith. So jaws would drop when they found out. Much as they did when they put two and two together and realized those buddies of mine they had met along the way were more than buddies as well.
You mean, the Marine Corps pilot? The LAPD officer? The dude who went on to play in the major leagues? lol. Among all the rest who didn't fit the stereotype either.
Still would have been a little different there than it was here. While it was still on the dl for me though, even out here, it would have been especially so down there.
I have put that side of me away though now. It's a day to day struggle, and still there, but it's all about Christ now.
As for BU though, would be great to see a home and away with Baylor. Had hoped it might happen while my dad was still alive, but would still be cool to meet up with the BU relatives down there and hit the game if it ever happens.
Will always wish BU well. In memory of my dad especially.
