Are we heading to a civil war

[CrusaderFrank]

Maybe we do an FDR and relocate the ProgDuppes to CA and build a wall around it and hand it back to Mexico. Then were down to 56 states

As long as we keep trying to fight the culture wars via government, we're going to have bitter, divisive politics.

is socialism vs capitalism a culture war? or a propaganda war?

Our government has always been a blend of capitalism and socialism.
The idiots that criticize socialist reforms and the collect their social security check and Medicare are hypocrites.
The subsidized farmers need to realize this is a socialist policy as is any subsidized business.
We all need to realize we are a hybrid of socialism and capitalism and neither socialism or capitalism works in it's purest form in the real world.

somewhat true. However, social security and medicare are not benefits, we paid for them our entire working lives, its our money that was taken from us without our permission and now is coming back to us (if we live long enough).

farm subsidies are stupid, they accomplish nothing except running small farms out of business.

Yes, some government assistance programs are needed, but we have far exceeded the need in this country when we give benefits to people who are not even citizens.

Most of us will take out more from Social Security and Medicare than we put in. Especially with Medicare.

first you have to make 65, those who die before 65 get nothing and neither do their heirs. I'm not sure where the break even point is on SS payments, depends on how much you paid in during your working years, medicare depends on whether you are well or sick.

But because of the way both have been mismanaged, those working today are paying for those receiving today. Ponzi scheme gone wrong due to government greed and mismanagement.

It's just amazing upon how the seniors of this nation are treated. Work all your years taking care of your family along with your taxpayer funded extended family, and then you are threatened by these government representatives that say SS is going broke, and the age limit must be lifted in hopes most die off before getting what they earned in life. Then on the flip side we have these officials finding ways to use tax dollars indirectly to promote themselves, their lively hoods, their back scratching, and their supporting of other nation's in order to opease them, supporting their own campaign's, their perks, their medical for life, their pensions, their buddies, their pet projects, their court cases if get in trouble, their pay off to women if get in trouble, their vacations, their vehicles, their gas etc.

Yet the worker bees get nothing but threats and mistreatment after they SERVED their country through hard work and sweat.

I have heard the elderly who struggle tell me how they can't even get a minor revenue hike on their SS every year. We are talking people left out to dry after all their contributions to this country over the years, and for whom only want what they deserve and no more.

Yep a dam Ponzi scheme it definitely is. This country ought to be ashamed of itself, and the young people best realize that what goes around comes around.

AARP calls all the GOP fear-mongering about social security the number one myth. Thank God for Social Security and the Democratic Party. Change the channel, dupes...

Are we heading to a civil war?

Nope. Lefties will pee their pants and run at the first sound of gunfire. Kinda hard to have a war if one side runs before it even begins.

What nut-jobs would those be? It doesn't take a right-winger to realize that most Lefties would, indeed, pee their pants, at the first sign of trouble.

Spoiled, sensitive little snowflake bitches lookin' for a Safe Space...

There are several scientific surveys that show Liberals are smarter than conservatives...

You tell 'em, sugar-bitches...

If you're a representative sample, the Right is going to have a field day rolling over you twink-types, if it ever came to a shooting match...

"Give me a gun" ??????

Why? Don't you have one of your own?

It's gonna be a short war...

------------------------

Generalissimo Franco's protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, the Left would serve-up a fairly pathetic show, in any such conflict.

It's actually the Left which is trying to foment civil unrest - if not worse - because their Agenda is now in grave danger.

That's the way our system works - checks and balances - if the Left goes too far, the Right steps in, and vice versa.

Presently, it's the Left's turn in the barrel; it'll do 'em good; it'll put hair on their chests, and help 'em find their balls again.

First, you are not a liberal. You are a left winger...there is a huge difference.

Second, feel free to provide a link to said "scientific surveys" that were not conducted by biased universities.

Third, even if that were true, every population has a distribution and you are likely far to the "moron" side of it.

Kondor is an example of an individual living in the past. While Kondor is cleaning his guns, our enemies are attacking us using cyber war tactics.
