The Blinders On The Left

Charlottesville mayor Mike Signer said in a statement of the torch-bearing white nationalists, "I have seen tonight the images of torches on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. When I think of torches, I want to think of the Statue of Liberty. When I think of candelight, I want to think of prayer vigils. Today, in 2017, we are instead seeing a cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights ... I am beyond disgusted by this unsanctioned and despicable display of visual intimidation on a college campus."

Life seeks balance in all things, and looking at two parties without the blinders of an ideology, we can clearly see the social-politics animal struggling to match the atrocities each commit.

Of course you do. You are a guy who stands for equal treatment for all under the law. You just think there is no rush. No need to get all uppity. Right? That will only make you throw up your hands and walk away from the cause. I get it.

Any "positive movement" that chooses to advocate economic, educational, or dares to pick physical violence against my family immediately will discover a new fear.
Balance in all things, friend.



"we can clearly see the social-politics animal struggling to match the atrocities each commit."

Nonsense.

There is no way to compare the Right to the groups that have descended from a philosophy that slaughtered over 100 million men, women and children.
 
4. Comparing the success of Ronald Reagan's conservative polices with the failures of Franklin Roosevelt's engineering of a recession into a Depression lasting five times longer than any such previous downturn, and Obama's total ineptitude, we find, at the source, these two views of the best society can be:

Either based on

a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.


...Or one designed to answer to

b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.




" Franklin Roosevelt had pictured a place where citizens were joined in a collective enterprise ... Reagan pictured a more individualistic America where everyone would flourish once freed from the shackles of the state, and so the watchwords became self-reliance and small government."
The Liberal Crackup





Reagan "pruned the excessive Depression-era financial regulations...to provide a framework of monetary stability within which individuals and companies could pursue their own projects with as little hindrance as possible and as much finance as the market would grant.
John Sullivan, Op. Cit.



Yet, the Left adores the failure.....

For the most part, when it comes to communism, Socialism, and every iteration thereof, Leftists cannot see or recognize any iniquity.
And that extends to refusing to admit the success of the economic and political thesis known as conservatism.


One Liberal wrote this in a recent article in the WSJ:

"It is time to admit that American liberalism is in deep crisis: a crisis of imagination and ambition on our side, a crisis of attachment and trust on the side of the wider public.
Ronald Reagan almost single-handedly destroyed the New Deal vision of America that used to guide us."
The Liberal Crackup


Let's go over the reasons for this.

They...Liberals, Democrats, Socialists, Marxists.... so very much want communism to be correct and successful, that the Left's pundits both ignore the truth, and lie about it.


1. "...Western leftists [suffered from] an intellectual disability when they gazed upon the Soviet Union....they failed to notice the transformation of their own...economies by Reaganism....

Almost all the intellectual energy of ....leftists was spent in attempting to demonstrate the failure of [Reagan's] policies by criteria that were short-term, parochial, and irrelevant to the dramatic character of the economic changes that [Reagan's policies produced]."
John O'sullivan, "The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World," p.257-258



2. One cannot help but laugh when reading the prognostications, predictions, pronouncements from one Leftist after another.... John Kenneth Galbraith, Lester Thurow, Paul Samuelson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Seweryn Bialer, Strobe Talbott.....one after another praising the success of the USSR, and claiming how tales of impending demise were simply untrue.

And this....right up to a year before the Soviet collapse!!!


Yet....these are the 'experts' taught to this day in our universities.....and the real expert, Ronald Reagan....despised in those precincts.




3. The 'dupes' were still viewing Potemkin Villages.
A dupe is one who is easily deceived or fooled. As far back as Washington’s Farewell Address, we find the warning against dupes: “Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.

In the early years after the Bolshevik Revolution, the communists used manipulations, such as the Potemkin Villages, to persuade the world how admirable and successful the revolution had been. One technique was to invite prominent American and British leftists to take carefully planned tours. And these ‘Potemkin Progressives,’ for the most part, behaved and thought just as they were meant to. Lenin, and then Stalin, carefully arranged the tours so that these progressives would then go back to their countries and praise Soviet Russia, and tell of the amazing success of communism. See Dr. Paul Kengor, Hoover Institution, Stanford “DUPES: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century



For dupes such as these 'Potemkin Progressives'.... John Kenneth Galbraith, Lester Thurow, Paul Samuelson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Seweryn Bialer, Strobe Talbott...trips to Potemkin Villages wasn't necessary. Long after Franklin Roosevelt has sworn that Communist Russia was what we should honor, and hope to be, they continued to carry that banner.



Imagine how quickly any college course telling the truth about the Soviet Union, or revealing the success of Reagan's economic policies...

...would be shut down.

Torch-wielding white nationalists march on University of Virginia ahead of massive rally

Sooo....the best you can do, half-head, is claim "seee...you have insane, anti-American radicals on your side, too......

....just a fraction as many."


None of the folks you've tried to identify as the Right represent Right-leadership.


All of the iniquities of the Left are right out of their mouths.


"Democrats Boo God"


It wasn't at God; but at Original Sinners claiming to be for the "Gospel Truth" of any given issue.
 
Nonsense.

There is no way to compare the Right to the groups that have descended from a philosophy that slaughtered over 100 million men, women and children.

I have no desire to argue with a philosophical agente provocatrice, though you are enjoyably witty.

But to rebut, evil on one side spurs evil from the other. Looking back at the apparent continuance of these problems and the moral battles which have persisted since at least the WWI era I believe that people from both partisan views are equally responsible -
One cries about such-and-such to the point of tantrum, spurring retaliatory acts of attention from the other, justifying the cries and tantrums from the former, baiting the weak from the latter, the cycle continues.

Bed wetters are deliberately ignorant and resist information that compromises their programming. The interior of a libturd's skull is like a black hole of ignorance. No matter how bright a beam of truth you thrust in their ear, you will never penetrate it.

They're devoted to ignorance so completely they will struggle to prevent others from basking in the light of truth. Most of them are simple, vacuous lemmings and drones. Their masters are the most sinister, and utterly evil sociopaths in the world. If not for the 2nd Amendment, the world would have been lost to the global collectivist agenda decades ago and the few million people left alive would resemble an ant colony.

Bullshit in blue ^^^ One would expect the author's opinion would be supported by evidence, but given the author in blue's record, one does not expect anything of substance from him other than hate.

Perhaps another time I can try to convince you, and ask for examples that compare with the Katyn Forest Massacre, the gulags, the state-directed famines, the murders to prevent 'emigration,' etc.

For now....the thread is constructed to highlight the embrace of failed economic and political policies by the Left.


Take care.

5. How did Reagan's "more individualistic America where everyone would flourish once freed from the shackles of the state, and so the watchwords became self-reliance and small government" do?


Hit it out of the park!


"During this seven-year recovery, the economy grew by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany, the third-largest in the world at the time, to the U.S. economy. In 1984 alone real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created during the recovery, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.

Real per-capita disposable income increased by 18% from 1982 to 1989, meaning the American standard of living increased by almost 20% in just seven years. The poverty rate declined every year from 1984 to 1989, dropping by one-sixth from its peak. The stock market more than tripled in value from 1980 to 1990, a larger increase than in any previous decade."

John Kenneth Galbraith, Lester Thurow, Paul Samuelson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Seweryn Bialer, Strobe Talbott...trips to Potemkin Villages wasn't necessary. Long after Franklin Roosevelt has sworn that Communist Russia was what we should honor, and hope to be, they continued to carry that banner.



Imagine how quickly any college course telling the truth about the Soviet Union, or revealing the success of Reagan's economic policies...

...would be shut down.

Torch-wielding white nationalists march on University of Virginia ahead of massive rally

From the Link:

Charlottesville mayor Mike Signer said in a statement of the torch-bearing white nationalists, "I have seen tonight the images of torches on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. When I think of torches, I want to think of the Statue of Liberty. When I think of candelight, I want to think of prayer vigils. Today, in 2017, we are instead seeing a cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights ... I am beyond disgusted by this unsanctioned and despicable display of visual intimidation on a college campus."



Sooo....the best you can do, half-head, is claim "seee...you have insane, anti-American radicals on your side, too......

....just a fraction as many."


None of the folks you've tried to identify as the Right represent Right-leadership.


All of the iniquities of the Left are right out of their mouths.


"Democrats Boo God"



Your theory of defense is very weak, the structure of your opinion does not meet the standard of an argument (they never do) and is one more opinion piece by a rather dimwitted and angry narcissist.



Everything I post is accurate, correct and true.

It is no accident that I always provide links, sources and documentation.
You, on the other hand, are our best source of Greenhouse Gases.


Now, judging by your input in this and every other attempt at posting by you, one can only conclude this fact of life:
Somewhere out there is a tree tireless producing oxygen so you can breathe. I think you owe it an apology.


Everything you post is biased and most of it is either a lie (example to follow), a half-truth, an exaggeration, a rumor or an innuendo.

As to #4 above:

"The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1939, and was the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world. It began after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors. Over the next several years, consumer spending and investment dropped, causing steep declines in industrial output and employment as failing companies laid off workers. By 1933, when the Great Depression reached its lowest point, some 15 million Americans were unemployed and nearly half the country’s banks had failed."

FDR was inaugurated the first week of March, 1933. He, like Obama later, had no game plan on how to respond to the economic mess left to him by his predecessors.

Now, for those who want to read the link, and compare it to the Minister of Truth's story, PoliticalChic, who revises history to suit her biases, will have an understanding of why conservatives hate FDR and Obama, both rescued our nation from the incompetency of their Republican Predecessors.
