Hasbro Releases 'Monopoly Socialism' Board Game, Pokes Fun at 'Socialist Utopia'

When a company is so smart that it realizes it can “capitalize” on socialism by making fun of it in a board game that you can buy, capitalism smiles.

Regressive Progressives Exposed

Regressive Progressives’ Hypocrisy

Written by Laurie Higgins

It’s difficult to take seriously “progressives”—you know, those who endorse human slaughter and sexual deviance—who caterwaul about Trump’s character. What are their criteria for assessing character?

Panera found out the truth the hard way

 
 IRS is going after Panera Bread for its ‘non-profit’ communist cafés

by Dr. Eowyn | 18 Comments

Panera Bread Company exemplifies one of the stubborn attributes of the Left: They persist in advocating socialism/communism, in spite of the testimony from history that it doesn’t work.

Does the average American truly understand the Socialist threat looming on the horizon?

Can America Fight Off the Socialist Mind Virus?
by Daniel Carter 
In the early 1990’s, the famous biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an essay entitled Viruses of the Mind. In this essay, Dawkins describes religion as a mind virus that spreads from human to human for the sake of its own survival.

Think whatever you want about Dawkins or his theories on religion. I personally think religion has become much less of a threat than political ideology since The Enlightenment period, which is why I will attempt to apply his mind virus theory to what I consider the biggest ideological threat to American values, socialism.

Again, the MSM shields the left, this time regarding taxes

As Libs Clamor for Tax Hikes, Networks Say Little
By Julia A. Seymour | October 24, 2018 9:10 PM EDT

Tax and spend liberals are at it again.
Although there were huge benefits to the 2017 tax cuts including a rise in take-home pay for a majority of American wage earners’ and hiring or investment expansions at hundreds of companies, many liberals are calling for tax hikes. Just don’t expect the networks to spell that out for voters.

Kevin McCarthy discusses the real issue facing America

 

Exclusive — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: ‘No Longer Just Republicans Versus Democrats; It’s America Versus Socialism’ 
by Matthew Boyle

As the Democrats drift further leftward into openly embracing socialism, House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) warns the political battle ahead of the midterm elections just two weeks from now is no longer a traditional partisan battle. Instead it is one where the country must confront and reject extreme ideas from the left.

The more the Left loses, the more dangerous it becomes

 

Is this the new America? Are death threats by bloodthirsty Leftists toward Conservatives and politicians becoming so commonplace that they are not even front page news?
The following three posts discuss the issue and a surprising reaction to it.

CIVIL WAR ALERT: Leftists openly plot mass executions of conservatives as Democrats release home addresses of Republican Senators

Our Constitution is in peril from the enemy within.

 

Many are aware of the fact that the Leftist hit job on Kavanaugh goes beyond the Judge and his accuser. It strikes at the very fabric of the American system--the rule of law and due process. 

Should such actions continue and become the norm, unfounded accusations could be hurled at anyone, and the burden of proof will be upon the accused not the accuser. No proof will be needed to level charges against anyone who does not agree with someone else on anything in an effort to destroy the targeted individual and/or to pursue the accuser's hidden agenda.

The Democrat Party is being taken over by the elitist funded Leftist lynch mob which will stop at nothing to hang their intended marks from the nearest tree in order to obtain and maintain iron- fisted rule.
 
Welcome back to the wild wild west where many an innocent person was lynched by an angry mob without any solid proof of a crime.

What's with the ACLU?

Are pigs starting to fly? Not really. The ACLU obviously realizes that what is happening to conservatives today could happen to liberals tomorrow. They have wisely chosen the correct side on this issue.

ACLU Warns: Facebook Shouldn’t Be the Arbiters of Free Speech
 
Posted By: admin on: August 22, 2018
In an interview with the Huffington Post this week, American Civil Liberties Union executive Ben Wizner, who runs the Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project for the law firm, said that liberals cheering Facebook and other social media companies for banning Alex Jones and Infowars should instead be standing up for the principles of free speech. Wizner warned that we shouldn’t trust private corporations to decide which political speech is good for our ears and which isn’t; he said that progressives should know that the same tools used to censor controversial speech on the right can be used to do the same to speech on the left.

Beginning of the de facto end for Obamacare

Perhaps the individual states will succeed where the feckless congress (with the aid of an unnamed GOP turncoat) failed miserably.

Six States Win $839 Million Judgment in Obamacare Lawsuit

Posted by Leslie Eastman Sunday, August 26, 2018 at 2:00pm

Health Insurance Provider Fee, which is really a tax, may be the linchpin for the collapse of Obamacare

 Despite the fact Obamacare hasn’t been “repealed and replaced” as promised by GOP members of the Congress, six states have just won a multi-state lawsuit against the tax policies implemented by Obamacare.

MSM covers for public figures who encourage pushing America into a failed state

Many had warned of the danger over the  increasing lawlessness and lethal destructiveness called for and engaged in by Leftists anarchists. We also knew that the MSM was choosing to ignore any such occurring actions or the even the possibility that they would escalate.
In a sane world, Maxine Waters would be forced to resign from Congress because of her intemperate calls for anti-Trumpers to harass anyone in the current administration. The Leftist mob mentality. is now a full-blown reality, and any political demonstration by lefty opponents will be physically invaded and its participants attacked.
"Liberal" venom also extends to those who are non-political. Leftist dregs even attacked the family of a cancer survivor on social media because they thanked Eric Trump  for his generous donation to St. Jude's Hospital.
They can go no lower than that. However, morality and decency have no place in their masters' attempts to bring down America in order to put it under the jackboot of globalism.
The following two articles discuss the violence issue. 
The second one also contains a list of Leftist anti-Trump rampages and it is periodically updated. As of this writing,  they have documented 305 incidents.

Liberal America has a political violence problem
by Albert Eisenberg*

To all sane Democrats: your party has been usurped..

 Yes, the Democrat Party is now officially Socialist  and moving toward radical leftism. "Sane"  JFK style Democrats have been gradually out numbered throughout the decades. 
Bill Clinton did manage to move more toward the middle, but that was merely a brief respite.
Non-totalitarian Democrats need to come to grips with their party identification. Who Killed the Center-Left?  They may not wish to join the GOP although it has moved leftward. 
For those voters, a third party could well be in the making. They may even be joined by the more liberal Republicans. A possible three party scenario scenario could be: 

 Socialist Democrats    Centrists    Conservative Republicans.

At both ends of the spectrum, there will be intolerant totalitarians, but they will be contained, hopefully.
If our republic is to survive, we need to fully wake up, shed our denial, and face the truth.
Below are excerpts from several articles with links for further reading, which discuss the move of the Dems toward socialism.
The last article,  The Heck with Civility—This Is War  deals with confronting the violent left.


Democratic Party is Now Openly Embracing Socialism
