Political discussions about everything

It appears that the GOP is going to try to get Dufus reelected by labeling Democrats as Socialists. Do they really know the meaning of the term?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

Definition of socialism

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Please note: I have not heard anyone of either party express a desire to allow Government to gain access to manufacturing or distribution or to abolish personnel property rights.

For the Clintons and Obamas, socialism was clearly their goal.

But it is also true that they were -- and are -- monumental hypocrites because the Clintons and Obamas tried hard to get rich themselves.

Obama took office with a net worth of about 800k, but later got money from ghostwritten books about the many wonders of himself.

In them, we learned -- inter alia -- that he and his spouse received affirmative action to attend school (that is, they displaced more qualified people), that he used pot and "blow" in high school, and that he began his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers (a domestic terrorist not sorry for his deeds).

As we see, johnforbes is STILL regurgitating the GOP talking points.

And he is STILL just as delusional about socialism as is every other GOP subscriber.

They all laud our socialist institutions but try to smear Democrats with a label that fits their own platform.

But being hypocrites by their very nature, they couldn't care less.

Come on, Clown, you know I couldn't care less about the GOP.

Few real conservatives do.

I wouldn't give ten cents for the likes of Mitt Romney, although obviously he was far better than the socialist race-baiter.

"For the Clintons and Obamas, socialism was clearly their goal."-johnfibs

johnny, you're simply making it up. It wasn't and isn't their goal. And because you're starting with that faulty premise, everything that follows from your ignorance is simply wrong. Thus, you're a Trump supporter.

Conservatives, are the biggest supporters of our socialist institutions. And that means YOU, johnny. You're one of them, but you live in denial of your glorification of socialism in America. And that denial causes the tragic cognitive dissonance that informs your life.

You can never back up a thing you say with evidence or expert opinion. You just say the other guy is wrong, but can't show HOW he is wrong. That's Trump Delusion Disorder. You simply make up stuff and can't understand why no one believes you.

RealTool is the greatest proponent of that disorder here.

The rest of your silly post is outdated GOP talking points that you parrot dutifully here. It doesn't bother you in the least that Obama and the Clintons are not President and you're simply wasting your breath talking about ancient history while you let the disaster going on on our front step continue without a thought in your head about it.
