For The Hate America First Crowd

[kenny]

In the history of the world there has been only one country founded on personal liberty and freedom, the United States of America. For most of human history men have been ruled by tyrants and despots. Our notion of personal liberty and capitalism is an anomaly, an amazing singular idea. Those two principles have made this country the most financially successful in human history, and that prosperity has improved living conditions for tens of millions of people all over the globe. We have saved more people from tyranny, disease, and death than any nation on earth, ever. As a people, we have paid dearly in blood and treasure to preserve our freedom and liberty.
Unfortunately over the last hundred years, there has been a growing number of people in this nation who just don't think we have done things the right way, from our founding to our economic system. They favor an idea of the collective, based on a notion of what I'll call bureaucratic socialism, history calls it the progressive movement. Proponents of this ideology base a lot of their ideas on the 19th. century romanticism of Rousseau, who believed in the primacy of feelings and emotions over empiricism and logic, and the philosophy of Engels and Marx. These philosophies have spawned many social and political movements all bent on attacking and changing the system....that's it for now.

Great post Kenny.

It is sad that people confuse socialism with social responsibility. They are not the same and socialism is a proven failure; whereas, social responsibility means taking care of one's needs without impeding another and helping when and where able. Obama is a socialist-he cares nothing about others, except himself and his own ego-he has no social responsibility in his mind or heart-same applies to Hellary-she would gladly gut and eat her daughter and family to achieve power. It is truly sad that those so-called 'progressives' cannot fathom that the horses/pullers of the wagons will eventually say "Fvrck this" and just sit down and those in the wagon, will complain and blame the pullers for their own failures. That is evidenced everyday-the welfare scammers, the demagogues such as Obama, Clintons (both of them-the liar and the sex predator), the media focusing on one tragedy while ignoring the real issue-that most crimes are committed by one group of people which must not be talked about so the violence continues and also continues to infect the morals and degrades society overall. Groups like Black Lives Matter are nothing but finger pointers blaming police for their own actions which cause their own deaths. Equal rights for sex deviates, while using 'discrimination' as the 'go to' word to allow such. Lying and cheating are acceptable to our current administration, so they have infected new generations that believe lies and lying are now 'good attributes' to be proud of. Media focusing on types like Kardashians and musicians and movie stars that are all nothing but low-life trash are now considered role models for young children. It is sad that people like the 3 on here that constantly support the current administration are so blind by the lies that they cannot even question the actions and defend their 'heroes' to the end-seems like if Obama murdered his wife in cold blood, they'd spin it so he was justified and would not even ask any questions and let him walk-because he is their hero, mascot and almost their God and certainly could do no wrong. To me, those people are like the cultists that followed Rev. Jim Jones to the Kool-Aid stand and gladly handed their child a cup of deadly poison and believed it was the 'right' thing to do and failed to question how morally wrong killing their own children is but simply followed their 'leader' without question.

I think if you boil it all down, most conservative republicans believe in equal opportunity, personal responsibility, free enterprise, and working hard for what they have. Most democrat progressives (utopians) believe in a big government, and that government should enforce equal outcomes, and social justice, which creates neither, but an ever increasing dependent class.
