Lets suppose/pretend you have a reason for posting this to me, how does it relate to my/the post you quoted? what is the point?

 

[PoliticalChic]

Do you even know who Galbraith is?

I have regularly written what a fool he was.


This sort of thing:


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.

Trump's controlling stake in U.S. steel is socialist nonsense​

4 days ago — Trump's takeover of U.S. Steel is socialist nonsense that violates every principle of limited government and represents an unrestrained view of ...

The national security agreement allowed Nippon Steel to buy out U.S. Steel. That being said, there is a provision in that agreement that POTUS can appoint a Nippon board member who has a say in company decisions that affect domestic steel production and competition with overseas producers.

The share of Nippon is not granted specifically to Trump but whomever is POTUS. SOME folks here need to do some real research before posting tripe.

So, Moonie, it's a global market negotiation and not 'socialist nonsense.' You're wrong yet again.

You cannot have a conversation with leftists minus the TDS. It's their modus operandi. Also just about every social issue you discuss with a leftist, the answer is always more government and more money will solve the problem.

 

[citygator]

Bonehead, you said "worship."

wor·ship
/ˈwərSHəp/

noun

1. the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
   "the worship of God"

English is my second language, yet I speak it better than you do. Weird.

Let’s take one single claim you made in your worship post on Trump.

“We were energy independent under Trump but you voted against that.”

It’s a single claim that shows that you worship Trump, not his results or policies.

How do you explain this if not worship?

U.S. Energy Independence Set New Record In 2023

Yes and, they're never really clear about where all that money is going to come from. American patriots know which is why we have Trump. They don't yet realize that Trump is our 'Marxistcide.'

If you are not worshiping Trump and are indeed impressed by his results why LIE about his homicide rates?

Homicide rates reached a decade high in 2020 under Trump and fell back with record reductions under Biden. How do you explain this?

Why did U.S. homicides spike in 2020 and then decline rapidly in 2023 and 2024? | Brookings

In 2020, the average U.S. city experienced a surge in its homicide rate of almost 30%—the fastest spike ever recorded in the country.

Oh come on. America was a major exporter of fossil fuel during his last term. That means we were energy independent. Facts not worship. You worship your 'Orange Man Bad' god.

Biden stopped arresting and charging criminals. The real homicide rate during Biden is really not known.

I am not disputing what you just stated. What I am saying is that we exported MORE under Biden than under Trump. We can agree on that correct?

Oh they know where the money is coming from. You, me, and those slaving away living from paycheck to paycheck. Raise the cost for everything and when you complain, Democrats will tell you that you are too stupid to know what's good for you.
