Best Speech ever.... to the so-called righteous folks in this country !
Don't try to make a "New Country", make the old one work !
Democrats running for president now, and the people like AOC, Talib, and the other "Lefty" Oldy moldy "Beer drinkers" ….etc. STILL say "Change" is needed, for VOTES …….. are overboard in their Promises. Even when things are going good, they aren't "Satisfied" and tell us it's still bad!
Those TYPES will NEVER be satisfied !
They want a NEW country.
Well, this IS a NEW COUNTRY, and THIS COUNTRY is what "Other" folks flock to, and it's only 300 + or - years old.
I don't see anyone running towards countries that have been up and running for thousands and thousands of years...… do you ?
The "Left" praises other countries …… Yet …… I don't see them packing their bags to move there !
"Progressive" types want to be like the "REST". Problem is, they won't move to the places they want this country to emulate !
"Lefty" Oldy moldy "Beer drinkers"
I may lean left and I'm an old beer drinker but "moldy" ??? I don't think so.
Besides, I thought the lefties drank wine and lattes.
That's what they want you to think anyway.
They just "Dye" beer and call it.... Latte Wine .
So... You want America to be where everybody agrees with the fearless leader, those who disagree are jailed, women are happy to be victimized when they're not busy being barefoot and pregnant, and minorities are reduced to a peon worker class. Why don't you go to Saudi Arabia?
Apparently...."MANY" of those you hate.... have been correct !
Best Economy …… EVER !
Isn't "Money" what you crave too ?
"Money" makes for an easier life.....doesn't it ?
Isn't that where your from because our American President is being attacked by leftist that cant function in society and want everyone to pay their way. The only reason you vote for them is free everything and its destroying America. What leftist want to do is taking all our freedoms. So just because your a tyrant don't take it out on President Trump anyone else would have quit by now. He continues to stand for the people your just to blind to see it. !!
Gary,
First of all welcome. How did you hear about NT?
Where did Steve say anything about wanting to take away freedoms? In fact, he is talking about freedoms he is worried about being removed from us.
It is me, I am not a leftie. I am an independent and this is just one sweeping generalization of what people want as their country. I want my country to move more to the moderate. I feel that the extremes of both parties have taken over. And I don't know anyone who wants to move to Europe so I don't even understand where you are going with this.
"Moderate" is just another way of saying ….. "Everyone should be the same". Agreeable. Borg like !
The "Progressive" actually wants everyone to be "Moderate" too. "Moderation" didn't get this country where it's at today. It took Individual "Ferocity" for that to occur in such a short time.
You need to look up the definition of moderate:
Definition of moderate
A True "Independent", look's to governance of themselves. Like a Libertarian.
independent
1. Not governed by a foreign power; self-governing.
2. Free from the influence, guidance, or control of another or others; self-reliant: an independent mind.
3. Not determined or influenced by someone or something else; not contingent: a decision independent of the outcome of the study.
libertarian
1. an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.
2. a person who advocates civil liberty.
3. a person who believes in the doctrine that human beings possess free will.
I've been an independent all my life and we are not Libertarians. We are issue-driven, and for each independent that is different.
And I am not sure where you got your definitions from, but independents. as most Americans are not for being governed by a foreign power. Self-governance may or may not be an issue they are interested in. The rest is just a definition of independent people, not necessarily in politics.
Foreign Power, wasn't of the literal sense in the definition.
History leaves those opposed to progress behind...
There are good reasons, "You can't fight progress", is a cliche. It is because it is a truth. Also, the far right's lameass attemps to rebrand "progress" as "socialism" is a big fail and that is because it is not true...
I have to agree here..
we all know socialism is not progress, it is regressive.
I knew eventually we would agree on something
Very true. It's why I love capitalism and democracy and wouldn't ever think about supporting a socialist system of government. But to understand this fact, it takes actually getting educated and understanding what socialism is which apparently some on the right refuse to do. Most of those on the right I've spoken to clearly don't understand what socialism is or understand the fact that it does NOT equate to mere social programs like social security or Medicare or taxes. I feel rather silly having to explain this to some, but taxes are also NOT socialism.
We've already agreed and understand that some essential needs of a society must be shared as any one person, group or business would not be able to afford to build all our roads, water, sewer and power infrastructure which are essential to a society. There are some on the left who want to debate what things are non-essential and want to add things like higher education and health care to the "essential" list. Accepting those things as essential does NOT make America a socialist country. That's just a bullshit narrative coming from mentally deficient bigots who were just using the "socialist" smokescreen to discriminate against those they are ideologically and religiously opposed to.
So no, we will never be a socialist nation because there isn't any large enough organized group suggesting such a thing. Are there some on the left who also don't understand what socialism is? Of course, and they're always the ones the right likes to quote saying "See! They called for socialism!". But that's nothing but a bunch of misinterpreted hot air or left wing extremist loonies who do not represent the vast majority on the left.
socialism and progressivism are not progress but regression.
Yes, I do. Due to antisemitic terrorism - running to Israel.
