Socialism is basically destructive period because more people expect to get more out of it than they are prepared to put into it.

Socialism kills: Zimbabwe President Mugabe: 'I am the Hitler of the time'
https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/09/socialism-kills-zimbabwe-president-mugabe

You do realize he's not only a Catholic Dictator but the son of a Carpenter ......

Robert Gabriel Mugabe was born February 21, 1924, in Katuma, a Jesuit mission station 50 miles west of the Southern Rhodesian capital. His father, Gabriel Matibili, was a carpenter from Nyasaland.

Mugabe graduated from Katuma’s St. Francis Xavier College in 1945. For the next 15 years he taught in Rhodesia and Ghana and pursued further education at Fort Hare University in South Africa.

So he hangs out at the Vatican...

Just wait for the weed to wear off a little
the inner meaning will shine through

In some circles the reference to soylent green, the food, which turns out to be made of people,
and eaten in the ultimate socialist state, is not considered obscure

Soylent Green (1973) w Charlton Heston
It is considered a classic sci-fi statement

Yeah. Need to move America MUCH farther to the Right.

No more of this "supporting poor peole" nonsense. No property? No vote! No testicles, no vote!

Foreigners should have to show their blood lines at the border, going back at least five generations.

Health care goes to the highest bidder!

Banks should be able to indenture defaulted debtors.

Firearms ownership should be mandatory to force all citizens into fulfilling their constitutional duties.

"Civil Rights" and other pansy stuff has got to go. Black criminals should be sold in auctions.

Can't fix stupid, Curious. And can't desalinate a culo saltado.

Good article. I agree with pretty much most of what it said. In my city, the "movers and shakers" are people who are, for the most part, conservative-leaning who have done well and give back to the community 10 fold. They are amazingly generous and our community has benefitted well from their efforts and money.


On the other hand, there are Liberals who simply want other people to give more and think nothing of taking for themselves and their friends.


Just my observation....

Oh, you mean hard-working conservatives like Donald Trump who so far has given none of his wealth to any reputable charity. Or perhaps you are talking about conservatives like J.D. Rockefeller who destroyed the lives of thousands of people in his desire to enrich himself, and then in his old age tried to buy back his reputation. And then there are conservative like to Koch Brothers who use their wealth to undermine their own country.

Trump was never a conservative.

J.D. Rockefeller allowed everyone easy access to gasoline, that accomplishment saved many thousands if not millions of lives and improved everyone’s quality of life.

As for the Koch bros., there are few who give more to PBS, NPR, hospitals and the arts in general. I agree PBS and NPR do the America.

No, not those conservatives - I'm talking REAL conservatives. They sound more like Liberals quite frankly LOL
