Video: "I believe love is always the answer, but own a hand gun just incase!"...that's how GOP Louisiana Senator John Kennedy ended his CPAC speech

[basquebromance]

If you aren't Watching Live Right Now , You are missing a great and funny speech from Sen. John Kennedy... "I Don't believe we have a gun control problem, I believe we have an idiot control problem."

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

What do they put in the water in LA?
This guy is an embarrassment.....but he is right, we do have an idiot control problem.
A lot of them spoke at CPAC, including the idiot who made the idiot comment.

We do have a gun control problem. But that doesn't mean we take guns away from law abiding citizens.

As I've been registered as an independent since 2000, I don't have a side. It's just that the Republican party has proceeded to jump further off the roof of reality since about 1994. It's a sad day when Democrats come across as logical and level headed....like ALL the time!

Bernie Sanders has espoused socialist style policies for DECADES. What surprises you here?
AOC is young and idealistic. Something the Democratic party side could use more of.
Our economy has been a mix of socialism and capitalism for almost a century now. One without the other
wouldn't work, but unfortunately, alt-right media has drilled terms like "Marxist" into your heads..even
though you don't have the slightest idea of what the term actually means. It's just a Pavlovian response.

Bunch of mildly amusing folksy one-liners, strung together as a "speech".

Ho-hum.

According to that nonsensical drivel, the country worked just fine for over 150 years without all that socialist crap....Were do you come up with the absurd notion that we couldn't do without it?

Because DERP, pure capitalism would ultimately destroy this country. Just as pure socialism would do the same.
Hey, your hero's BFF is busy trying to revive the USSR. You don't how lucky you are boy.....(sorry, couldn't resist).
I mean it already failed once (imploded on itself).

That's not an answer, sub-cretin.

For over 150 years, the nation built roads, educated children, fought off foreign aggressors, helped the poor, and dozens of other things that you say can't be done without the benevolent fist of welfare State, yet all of the socialistic crap foisted upon the nation since 1913 is totally indispensable?

I wish your could recognize how utterly stupid you sound....But that would require a level of introspection entirely beyond your grasp.

I'm very well versed on Murican history....It's you who hasn't the first fucking idea of what you're blabbering about, as evidenced by your failure to answer a straightforward question and make it about me.

For over 150 years, the nation got along fine without a worthless fiat currency, an income tax, State-run schools, an industrialized military, welfare handouts, and all the other trappings of the socialistic welfare state.

What makes them so indispensable now?....Answer the question, asswipe.

AOC is young and foolish. The Democratic Party needs young, intelligent people.

A mixture of capitalism with some social programs is better than pure capitalism without any social programs and MUCH better than Marist socialism as exists in Cuba and Venezuela.

Scandinavian countries are not socialist for those who think they are and they are DEFINITELY not Marist.

Marist..as in the Marist Red Foxes??

Marxist!!...c'mon. the K key isn't that far from the R key.
AOC has carved her initials into some of the most alt-right asses and handed it to them.

Again, our economy thrives and survives because it is a mixture of capitalism and socialism.
Those "Scandanavian" countries all have NO problems with providing free or low cost healthcare
to their citizens..why is it that you think that a First World country that is supposedly the beacon of
the free world can't do the same?

My typing is so bad it requires better proofreading.

I have no problem with a mixture of capitalism with some socialist programs. Hell, I am benefiting from Social Security and Medicare. Of course social programs have to be financed and it is possible SS and Medicare will be bankrupt in the near future.

Bad News for Social Security Recipients

According to a new report by the Social Security and Medicare trustees, the trust fund, which was expected to run out of money in 2035 will now go broke in 2034.

As I pointed out those Scandinavian nations are not socialist. They tried a form of pure socialism and it failed.

Next, in the 2018 Economic Freedom Index, Iceland (11) Denmark (12) and Sweden (15) rank higher than the USA (18), while Norway (23) and Finland (26) rank only slightly lower. India – the true full-blooded practicing socialist economy – ranks 130, as expected. That also confirms that these are not socialist countries. And finally, some more evidence: these countries do not have minimum wage laws and their banking system is largely in private hands; Sweden uses the free market school voucher system; and Equinor, Norway’s largest oil company, was privatised in 2001. So technically they must be classified as capitalist.

In fact, these countries had been ultra-capitalist from around 1870 to the 1960s. They had therefore become rich with low levels of inequality. Their welfare state was modest and total taxes were around 30 per cent of GDP. They resisted introducing welfare programs during the Great Depression and so, unlike the USA, they recovered very quickly from the downturn.

But socialist politicians became influential in these countries from the 1970s and increased state control over the economy and expanded the welfare state. For a while the harm being caused by socialism was not immediately obvious and so it appeared to the rest of the world that a country could be rich even with a large welfare state. Today the haze has lifted. Nima Sanandaji’s 2015 book, Scandinavian Unexceptionalism (available free of cost online) documents the disastrous effects of this socialist experiment and how these countries have been forced to pull back from the brink.

Sweden rapidly stagnated as a result of the socialist interventions and the work culture among the youth rapidly deteriorated, particularly in Norway which has the largest welfare state of them all. It would be fair to say that had it not been for its oil wealth, Norway would have been facing a major social disaster today. In addition, their populations are aging and the proportion of working age taxpayers is reducing relative to the proportion of social program dependents. The socialist experiment can’t be called a success by any stretch of imagination.

By the 1990s, even these countries had begun to realise their folly and started to scale back the worst elements of their socialist experiment. They privatized many government-owned enterprises and cut business red tape. Today, all sides of politics in these countries are committed to bringing back free markets – but they still don’t speak honestly about the harm caused by the large welfare state.

Scandinavian 'Socialism': The Truth of the Nordic Model
