Items to Consider 2

This is what socialist Democrats and billionaires are purposely doing to the United States. Quote: "It seemed like such a good idea at the time. When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1999, he wanted to make the Venezuelan people more equal. But the late president’s socialist policies ended up turning a modern, fairly wealthy country into a Third World wreck.  Today the country is broke, with a near-worthless currency. Severe shortages have forced the government to ration food and electricity. The average Venezuelan has lost 19 pounds over the past year due to starvation. Things have gotten so bad that some starving Venezuelans have stolen and eaten zoo animals. Angry residents have rioted in the streets against the hapless government of President Nicolas Maduro. In the end, Chavez achieved his goal of making the people “equal,” noted William J. Murray, chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition. “Now they’re all equal – they are miserably poor and starving to death!” Murray quipped during a recent interview on The Hagmann Report. Murray pointed out Venezuela has stumbled to the brink of collapse despite having the world’s largest-known oil reserves. By contrast, Saudi Arabia, the country with the world’s second-largest oil reserves, is awash in oil wealth, enjoying its status as a regional power with a G-20 economy."  And, "Utopianism has manifested itself in many forms, according to Murray. People often look at Hitler and Stalin as opposites – the right-wing fascist dictator versus the left-wing communist dictator. However, in reality, they were two sides of the same coin. “They were exactly the same thing,” Murray insisted. “They both envisioned a small group of people coming together being able to establish a utopian society for their people and ultimately the whole world. The only difference between the radical communism of the Soviet Union and Josef Stalin and the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler was the means to get there and what you called it.”  And, "Murray said the nation’s D.C. elite are much wealthier than most Americans, so it’s easy for them to forget plenty of Americans – even white men – are denied jobs because of race, gender or education level. Murray acknowledged there is a firm basis for white men’s grievances: affirmative action has led to the hiring of more female and minority job candidates at the expense of white men. “That is part of the cultural utopianism, the cultural Marxism, where people are not allowed to compete based on their abilities, that all kinds of other markers are thrown in there in order to make it a more just society,” Murray explained."    http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/billionaire-class-leading-u-s-down-utopian-road-to-hell/ 

The smug self righteousness and abject hypocrisy of icons of the political left Democrat party is a thing to behold.  They seeming proudly display their utter ignorance of the outrageous and disgraceful history of their own party which is filled with corruption, collusion, lack of ethics and outright illegality.  Previous items offer insights.  This one extends the coverage and will likely surprise many.  Quote: "Governor Andrew Cuomo has written a letter to the Acting Secretary of the Army asking that the names of two streets in Fort Hamilton Army Base in Brooklyn be removed. The two streets are named in honor of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson. Said the governor in his letter:  Renaming these streets will send a clear message that in New York, we stand against intolerance and racism, whether it be insidious and hidden or obvious and intentional.  Not to be outdone by his fellow Democrat, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered a 90-day review of “all symbols of hate on city property.”  Fair enough. So what about all those New York tributes to Franklin D. Roosevelt dotting both New York City and New York State? FDR being both Cuomo’s predecessor as governor of New York from 1928 to 1932 and, famously, the longest serving president in American history?  With all the perpetual denunciations of the Ku Klux Klan from all sides — yes, including President Trump multiples of multiples of times — alas the historical record reveals that it was no less than New York’s own FDR who had a serious love-affair with the Klan." And, "The Ku Klux Klan, described by Columbia University historian Eric Foner in his book Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 as “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party,” served FDR as well — not to mention the Klansman FDR placed on the Supreme Court. The latter a position Black would eventually use to lead the Court’s six Roosevelt appointees in validating FDR’s infamous 1942 race-based Executive Order 9066 that launched the internment of Japanese-Americans into internment camps."  And, "   More disgusting Democrat history truths are covered.    https://spectator.org/cuomo-and-de-blasio-ignore-klan-ally-fdr/? 

Based on previous items it should be clear that the Democrats are neither a respectable nor responsible lot.  This item extends the discussion by adding even more fodder to the fire.  It is aptly titled:  "Democrats Should Think Carefully Before Casting the First Stone"    https://spectator.org/democrats-should-think-carefully-before-casting-the-first-stone/   I have said it before and will again.  This woman is an egomaniac with absolutely no sense of decency or responsibility.  She has long been a bad elected official more concerned with image and popularity than with doing anything good.  Bottom line: she is nothing but a party hack loyal only to socialist Democrat nonsense.   This next piece provides a good accounting of  how irresponsible, unethical and insane she is.   http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/which-statues-pelosi-wants-out-of-capitol/   This should convince most sane people that the political left, progressives, liberals and Democrats have gone totally bonkers.  They are no longer rational in any sense of the word. https://www.teaparty.org/alert-liberals-now-want-blow-famous-national-monument-260087/   Hate, destruction and chaos are the only things they seem to believe in.   It gets worse.  Democrat have long supported Black Lives Matter and Antifa.  Even former VP candidate Tim Caine's son joined Antifa which was recently declared by the FBI and HLS to be a terrorist organization.  Once the announcement became public Democrats previously silent or tacitly supporting them because they were attacking conservative groups and activities Democrat politicians suddenly made their way to the nearest microphones and cameras to denounce the group.  How about this Hollywood type.  He thinks only he and people like him are worthy...everybody else with a descending opinion can got to...well you know where.  http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/hulk-actor-wants-rush-limbaugh-tossed-to-hurricane/    Anther elitist Hollywood type displays her terribly egotistical, self righteous, misinformed and irreverent behavior. https://conservativetribune.com/spoiled-actress-sick-comment/?      Hypocrites all.
