The problem with Socialism
is that it never works. Here is a book report. Quote: "At 192 pages in
a 4-by-7-inch (hardback) format, The Problem with Socialism is
a quick read. A narrator spends 3 hours and 51 minutes reading the book
aloud, unabridged, on audible.com. (It is available also on Kindle).
DiLorenzo begins by showing why socialism poisons economic growth and
prosperity and why it always and everywhere turns into an economic
disaster. Three problems plague socialism, he writes: incentive, knowledge, and economic calculation problems.
Key among them is an enforced lack of market prices, making it
impossible to craft rational economic decisions." And, "He dispels a
number of socialist myths and superstitions about capitalism. These
include the capitalist myths of “subsistence wages,” the “abusive
factory,” “robber barons,” “predatory pricing,” and the
“Capitalism-Causes-War” myth. Free market capitalism is about trade. “It
is about the free exchange of goods and ideas, which encourages peace
and mutual understanding.” Free market capitalism keeps wars at bay. It prevents war,
not cause them." And, "(With the mainstream media studiously ignoring
Venezuela, you can see what’s really happening there now by watching
Jeff Berwick’s 26-minute video “Venezuela Descends into Chaos, Europe
and US Next,” where he describes his recent visit to Caracas on YouTube here.

& “Streets Filled with People Seeking Food,” available here.)" https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/07/donald-w-miller-jr-md/problem-socialism-defined/
This guy does not have his head screwed on tightly enough. It is likely that he is inadvertently revealing his own stupidity. http://www.infowars.com/hillary-strategist-blames-stupid-white-people-for-popularity-of-trump/?
It is safe to say that
Louis Farakan is a vile human being. Quote: "Just a few short hours
before a gunman targeted Dallas police officers for execution, killing
five and injuring seven others, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
posted a vile message of hatred and called on blacks to use violence
against white people on his Twitter account." Watch the video. http://rightwise.com/news/nation-islam-leader-posts-sick-video-hours-dallas-police-massacre/
Quote: "It’s a perilous
time for Democrats. As the party prepares to convene in the birthplace
of democracy, it faces dangers from within and without that threaten to
destroy its chances to govern at a time of uncertainty, upheaval and
unpredictability. The nation’s attention has just been focused on four
days of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, capped by a
speech in which Donald Trump told us we were unsafe and could only be
saved by a strong leader unbound by political correctness, unafraid to
confront the world. Democrats have already begun focusing on the
excesses of that convention but they risk missing the very important
point: People are angry. People are fearful. There is a stifling
political correctness in the country. Those feelings are real, and so
are their causes. And the party that will win is the party that will
best address them. http://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/columns-blogs/steve-sebelius/democrats-must-confront-hard-truths
Hillary's knowledge of
business and economics is by all accounts is lacking. Her approach to
these topics is decidedly socialistic or even fascistic given her
propensity to have government dictate terms under which they operate.
She does not understand that government interference is a large part of
what is wrong with our nation's economy. Quote: "It is clear that the
Left led by Clinton does not like executives getting paid regardless of
how they get paid. It is only acceptable to get compensation for books,
speeches, making movies, supercilious television shows or protecting
people from the government by being a lobbyist or lawyer who sues
someone based on a new right given to people by Hillary’s accomplices.
The new rules would not only limit incentive pay, but mandate that 60%
of these bonuses be deferred for at least four years. These bonuses
could also be required to be repaid (clawed back) for up to seven years
after being paid in the event of losses attributable to poor judgment or
undue risk-taking by the recipient. Of course, a government
apparatchik, who has had zero business experience, would determine the
need for the claw back with information developed way after the fact.
One would think that people in the financial sector would think of
Hillary being akin to their worst mother-in-law nightmare. But that
appears not obvious for many, particularly in the financial sector.
Clinton has drawn more money from the Wall Street sector than the others
candidates combined. To most these people would seem delusional, but
you have to dig below the surface." http://townhall.com/columnists/brucebialosky/2016/07/24/hillary-the-source-of-business-n2195716?
Obama's brother, Malik, was
deeply disappointed with the job he did as president. He even switched
parties from Democrat to Republican and intends to vote for Donald
Trump. Quote: "Although he was born in Kenya, public records show Malik
Obama has been a resident of Maryland, working for many years as an
accountant, being registered as a lifelong Democrat. But he told the
Post his “deep disappointment” in Barack’s administration prompted him
to recently switch allegiance to “the party of Lincoln.” He said the
last straw was the FBI’s recommendation of no charges for Democrat
Hillary Clinton over her use of a private e-mail servers while U.S.
secretary of state." http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/obamas-brother-voting-for-donald-trump/
Quote: "The common understanding of the famous Marbury v. Madison
case is that it established the authority of the Supreme Court to
determine what the Constitution says. From there, it’s held that the
Court gets to determine the limitations placed on the federal government
as well as the states. In short, the rest of the federal government,
and the states, are bound by what the Supreme Court decides. But is
that the truth? A paper from Northwestern University School of Law
Constitutional Theory Colloquium Series seeks to clear up the myths
associated with the Marbury decision. In the first sentence of his 2004 paper, “The Irrepressible Myth of Marbury,” Michael Stokes Paulsen sets the mood for the rest: Nearly all of American constitutional law today rests on a myth." http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2015/03/08/the-myth-of-marbury-v-madison/
Are these people the kind
you want to associate with? Quote: "An elderly white man was walking on
his way to work in Washington, D.C. when he encountered a group of
Black Lives Matter protesters. (I guess that’s what kids do these days
while the grown-ups work – or try to anyway.) The protesters were
gathered on the sidewalk, and the man wanted to be able to use the
sidewalk to continue on his way to work, but the protesters wouldn’t
allow it. He tried to walk through the small crowd, but they blocked him
with their outstretched arms." http://eaglerising.com/35242/blm-protesters-wont-let-white-guy-use-the-sidewalk-use-your-white-privilege-to-walk-around-video/
The debt disaster. Quote: "
The federal debt moved above $19,400,000,000,000 for the first time as
of the close of business on Tuesday, according to the data released today by the U.S. Treasury."
And, "In the less than nine months since then, the federal debt has
increased by $1,249,380,205,181.94" I ask you, is this monstrous debt
sustainable???? Congress and the President are now and have for some
time been completely irresponsible in managing our nation's fiscal
health. If you don't think the situation is all that bad, take a look
at the speed with which we accumulate debt. This debt clock shows you
in real time what is happening.... http://www.usdebtclock.org/
One has to wonder. Quote:
"The Democratic National Convention has turned a women’s restroom into
an “all-gender” bathroom at the Wells Fargo Arena. The all-gender
bathroom is one of the ways the DNC is infusing its party platform into
the arena accommodations. The arena also has a “gluten-free zone” and
garbage cans are categorized by landfill, recycling, and compost." And,
"At least one person at the DNC cares, according to media reports. “I
don’t need no man in the next stall next to me while I go to the
bathroom,” a female employee of the arena told
Mynorthwest.com. “We need a male and female she said. I’ve got
personal business. I’m trying to keep it real.” “It’s privacy. I need
privacy.” http://freebeacon.com/politics/dnc-turns-womens-restroom-gender-bathroom/?
Quote: "Under the guise of
fighting “violence against children,” the Obama administration has
joined forces with socalist foreign regimes and various United Nations
agencies in a “global partnership” to wage war on parental rights.
The controversial worldwide initiative, which aims to criminalize
spanking and smacking as disciplinary tools, among other things, is part
of the UN's Agenda 2030, also known as the “Sustainable Development Goals.”
Essentially, the UN is betting that framing the assault on families as a
bid to end “violence against children” — something nobody in their
right mind would oppose — will make it easier to pursue the sidelining
of parents. The plan also calls for vast new data-gathering capabilities
to ensure children are being raised in accordance with extreme UN
standards that were unthinkable even a few years ago. But opponents of
the UN agenda argue that the global organization itself is among the
lead violators of children's rights — and parents, by contrast, are the
primary protectors of children." http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/23668-obama-and-un-join-forces-to-assault-parental-rights-worldwide
This is an example of what
the progressive leftist, their intolerance of others and political
correctness has wrought. Quote: "According
to Heat Street, after administrators at Cal State LA canceled a speech
by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro scheduled for late February,
they were deluged with phone calls and emails from students, parents and
alumni angry that the University was limiting free speech. Two months
before the scheduled speech, which was titled “When Diversity Becomes A
Problem,” members of the administration acknowledged that Shapiro’s
well-known criticisms of the tactics of the Left could engender an
explosive reaction from furious leftists. Ironically, Shapiro’s speech
was championing the value of diversity of thought and free speech." http://www.dailywire.com/news/7757/csula-canceled-shapiro-after-leftists-compared-him-hank-berrien?
Quote: "If elected, Clinton will be a tool of the special interests, Wall Street and the power brokers in the Democrat Party. If Trump is elected, he will be an independent leader answering only to the American people. The choice is clear, and the stakes are extremely high; the status quo or change; continuing down the road to socialism or reversing course and embracing capitalism; saving our country from terrorism, illegal aliens, and criminals who target police officers or moving the country toward more lawlessness and chaos? Hopefully, the American people will choose well in November. It may be our last chance to save America." http://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2016/07/23/trump-sets-the-bar-high-for-lowethics-hillary-n2196687?
While I have no regard for
Bernie Sanders, the Democrat National Party seems to have even less.
This item addresses content of 19,000 emails Wikileaks recently
exposed. Contents reveal just how unethical and corrupt the party
leadership really is. Quote: "On Friday, website Wikileaks posted over 19,000 emails
that were taken from the Democratic National Committee that show story
manipulation and collusion with the MSM, internal attempts to sabotage
Bernie Sanders during the primary, and a whole lot more. This huge
political story and scandal broke on Friday morning, though you may not
have heard about it. It seems the collusion extended even to burying the
story of the leak itself, as most news outlets gave it minimal coverage
and little air time, and Twitter was accused of actively covering it
up." And, "There's so much more, and we'll bring it all to you over the
weekend and through the convention. The short version is that the DNC
really hates Morning Mika, really hates Bernie Sanders, and really
didn't want you to know about it. And neither did Twitter or the
television divisions, apparently. Democrats really are the party of
collusion, corruption and cover-ups. No wonder they like Hillary so
much." http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/07/23/collusion-corruption-cover-20000-emails-dnc-released-wikileaks/?
Virginia governor and
Hillary supporter tried to guarantee 200,000 thousand extra votes for
her. But the Virginia Supreme Court shut down his voter fraud
scheme. Quote: "A huge vote bump expected by the Hillary Clinton
campaign in the state of Virginia just vanished, thanks to that state’s
Supreme Court, which Friday struck down the controversial executive
order by Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe allowing hundreds of thousands of
convicted felons to vote in November. Approximately 206,000 Virginia
felons were affected by his April 22 order. But McAuliffe’s order is
unconstitutional, the court ruled 4-3, ordering that the Virginia
Department of Elections “cancel the registration of all felons who have
been invalidly registered” since McAuliffe issued his order." http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/virginia-supreme-court-kills-mcauliffes-felon-voting-scheme/
This is about countering
the left's persistent need to correct other people's word usage. Quote:
"Because of the unusual left-wing fixation on making your tongue
compliant, there is much hoopla in the opinion pages demanding you to
refrain from the “harmful,” “racist,” and “perilous” phrase “All Lives Matter.” The left is apoplectic if you say it, even if you’re a Person of Color™. In an inexplicable attempt at comprehensiveness, Vox.com has come up with a startling 9 super-helpful ways
for leftists to correct non-leftists who are bigotedly using the
obviously bigoted phrase. That is, in the unlikely event that their
leftist readers haven’t destroyed all contact with anyone who isn’t a
true believer in all three legs of the
Socialist-NonCisHeteroWhiteMaleist-Environmentalist triumvirate of
Goodness." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/07/correcting_wording_matters.html This is a logical follow-up. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/07/liberalism_and_identity_politics.html
As usual the man's ego gets
in the way of facts. Ignoring or dismissing these facts confirms that
he is delusional. If he does not know it now the history books will
detail his failed presidency and likely mark it as one of if not the
worst in history. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2016/07/23/bold-fox-news-anchor-asks-obama-if-wrong-track-polling-is-an-indictment-of-his-presidency-n2196408?
This man is as corrupt as
his boss and the EPA administrator belongs right beside him. This item
displays their utter nonsense. Not one ethical fiber can be found in
their being. Quote: "Air conditioners and refrigerators pose as big a
threat to "life on the planet" as the threat of terrorism, Secretary of
State John Kerry said Friday. Kerry was in Vienna negotiating a global
climate deal to phase out chemicals used as refrigerants in basic
household and commercial appliances such as air conditioning and
refrigerators, called hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. The chemicals are a
potent source of greenhouse gas emissions that many scientists blame for
contributing to global warming." http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/kerry-air-conditioners-worse-than-isis/article/2597416?
This summary is certainly
the truth and is most inconvenient for Hillary and the whole of the
Democrat party. Quote: "Then, looking forward to the coming week,
Kupelian observes: “If you want to get an idea of just how far to the
left the Democrat Party is right now … go online to the Communist Party –
forget the Socialist Party – the Communist Party USA,
CPUSA.org.” “Do you know what they’ve got up there [on their website]?
Their main themes?” asked Kupelian. “Stop the cops killing innocent
black men, bashing Donald Trump and the GOP, global warming, stop
Islamophobia, stop homophobia. It is a carbon copy, Perry, of today’s
Democratic Party.” http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/hillarys-stronger-together-theme-a-joke-says-snapping-author/
Lawlessness
has increased during Obama's tenure in office. His defiance of laws as
well as that of his administration and his total disdain for police
have made major contributions to this situation. Quote: "The murder rate
in 29 of the largest American cities was up in the first six months of
2016, according to data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
According to the data, reported on by The Wall Street Journal,
homicides were up 15 percent in the 51 large cities that provided
information for the survey. More than half of that was attributed to two
cities, however: Chicago, which is plagued by gang violence, and
Orlando, where 49 people were shot to death at a gay nightclub in June
by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State during his
attack." http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/murder-rate-up-29/2016/07/25/id/740429/
The
Philadelphia police are upset with the Democrats. Their line up of
speakers includes anti-police but none pro-police. And the DNC wants
police protection. Go figure. http://ijr.com/2016/07/656814-blistering-letter-from-philly-police-has-clinton-camp-on-defense-over-dnc-speaker-lineup/
Contrast that with what Donald Trump did after the Republican
convention where the work of and support for police was a theme
throughout. http://patriotupdate.com/trump-pulls-classiest-move-2016/
Everyone knows the Democrats have had a big hand in promoting Black
Lives Matter actions and hateful rhetoric, Hillary included. And, Obama
has been beating up on police ever since he entered office. No big
deal. Democrats are anti-law, multitude of evidence says so.
