The Socialist's Future; The Democrat Party

The left, they're not even trying to hide their intentions now.

I couldn't pass up sharing a recent YouTube video regarding the future of the Demoncrat Party. It depicts the Democratic Party's nomination in New York's 14th Congressional district, the party's most recent Socialist star, candidate Alexandria Orcasio Cortez. You have to give it a viewing. It's one of the most revealing clips of Cortez that I've seen.


I came across it via one of my favorite reads, The Gateway Pundit. Here's a link to Gateway Pundit's post as well.


It would be fun if it wasn't real! Let's attribute Cortez's "election" as a NY Democrat congressional candidate to desperation by the leftist, socialist organization... the Democrats.

Homicide Rates, A Dated Comparison By Country.

• It's always interesting for me to take a peek back in time and review some of the data that was collected "then" to address the questions we were having relating to problems we're experiencing as a society and how they were addressed, remedied (if appropriate) and how they might apply to what we're currently experiencing in our society and globally today.

  
  

  This little tidbit sent to me recently is pretty revealing. 

  
  

  It was sent by a friend. As mentioned, a portion of it is dated but it helps to define the trends, assigned assumptions, potential remedies, successes and failures relating to the deterrence of murder and crime in particular.

  
  

  Here's the information:

  Crime: US vs UK and Canada

  
  

  The US has a lot of guns and a lot of murders compared to England, Canada, and most of

  Europe. This is something Piers Morgan likes to point out to Americans who then struggle to

  defend the wisdom of gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment: “How do you justify 4.8

  murders/year per 100,000 population when there are only 1.6/year per 100,000 in Canada,

  1.2/year per 100,000 in the UK, and 1.0/year per 100,000 in Australia — countries with few

  murders and tough anti-gun laws?,” he asks. What Piers doesn’t mention, is that these anti-gun countries have far higher contact crime (assault) rates than the US.

  
  

  The differences narrow somewhat when considering most violent crimes, but we still have far

  fewer than Canada and the UK. Canada has 963/year per 100,000 “most violent crimes,” while the US has 420/year per 100,000. “Most violent crimes” here are counted as: “murder and non-negligent manslaughter,” “forcible rape,” “robbery,” and “aggravated assault” (FBI values).

  
  

  England and Wales classify crimes somewhat differently, but have about two times the US rate, 775/year per 100,000, if “most violent crimes” are defined as: “violence against the person, with injury,” “most serious sexual crime,” and “robbery.”

  
  

  It is possible that the presence of guns protects Americans from general crime while making

  murder more common, but it’s also possible that gun ownership is a murder deterrent too. Our murder rate is 1/5 that of Mexico, 1/4 that of Brazil, and 1/3 that of Russia; all countries with strong anti-gun laws but a violent populous. Perhaps the US (Texan) penchant for guns is what keeps Mexican gangs on their, gun-control side of the border. Then again, it’s possible that guns neither increase nor decrease murder rates, so that changing our laws would not have any major effect. Switzerland (a country with famously high gun ownership) has far fewer murders than the US and about 1/2 the rate of the UK: 0.7 murders/ year per 100,000. Japan, a country with low gun ownership has hardly any crime of any sort — not even littering. As in the zen buddhist joke, change comes from within.

  
  

  One major theory for US violence was that drugs and poverty were the causes. Remove these by stricter anti-drug laws and government welfare, and the violent crime would go away. Sorry to say, it has not happened; worse yet, murder rates are highest in cities like Detroit where welfare is a way of life, and where a fairly high fraction of the population is in prison for drugs.

  
  

  Detroit’s higher living wage, has made it hard for people to find honest work. Stiff drug penalties have not helped Detroit either, and may contribute to making crimes more violent.

  
  

  As Thomas More pointed out in the 1500s, if you are going to prison for many years for a small crime, you’re more likely to use force to avoid risk capture. Perhaps penalties would work better if they were smaller.

  
  

  Detroit 1967 to 2017: unemployment comes down, murder rate doesn't.

Abbas, Hamas... the habit of hostage taking is alive and well.

Only this time the cowards are kidnapping journalists. AGAIN.

"Hamas and Abbas have turned Palestinian journalists into weapons in their internecine war. Palestinian journalists are now being targeted not only for expressing their views and reporting in a way that angers their leaders; they are also arrested and tortured in the process of the settling of scores between Abbas and Hamas."

That's what happens when you have two distinct major government "influences" ruling or trying to rule the same people,  IMHO.

Oh wait...

Ah... the elite have us pegged...

Or so they think.

They're oblivious as to why we voted against their sorry souls. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, that "Obama's vice president" dude (oh yeah, joe biden), Pelosi, Schumer, Reid... the entire elite left, Republicans, demoncrats, independents alike. They're all confounded as to why we didn't vote the way we were told to vote.

They can't believe they lost the election. They refuse to accept that fact.

And they're still trying to assign blame to someone, somewhere.

So they're assigning it to us, the voters who caused them to lose. We don't know any better. We're not elitists, privileged, pampered, educated. We're simple folks who have no idea what we're doing and our vote was just a knee jerk reaction to their elitist way.

We betrayed them...

LOL

Modern Republicans are not "conservatives"

You can try all you want to convince me that the Republican party is the conservative party but it's not! Neither is the democrat party the conservative party but then again, we already knew that.

I don't know of any political party out here in the real world that truly is a solid "conservative" party. None. But to try to pass off the "Republican" party as the party of conservatives is, well, beyond the pale!

Too many Republicans have crossed over to the liberal side and/or have hindered forward progress for our nation by failing to act, failing to perform their duties, failing to adequately represent their constituents who voted them into office. Too many of our elected politicos have made promises they've failed to keep and have hindered even the slightest hint of progress that might have been completed via our citizen elected Trump president. The Republicans don't want our POTUS Donald J. Trump to succeed and they're more blatantly obvious by the day about ensuring our POTUS Donald J. Trump fails, at least in the politico arena.

John McCain isn't the sole traitor to conservatism. There's far more than McCain who need to atone for their actions and failures. The bulk of our elected "officials" are simply feeding from the trough at our expense. Biding time until the next election.

We need term limits!
