From behind the curtain..."Trump doesn't want to be President, he wanted to come in second place so he could point out that if he'd won, things would've been better."

I know, I know...know my audience and what not. But, at some point, the poorly educated needs to open their eyes before it's to late.

Dude. "To" late AND calling out the poorly educated? If I didn't actually know better, I would think you are actually trying to act like a moron.

That's common core english.

I don't think its an act?

You've mentioned this obvious cookie-cutter talking point I've seen ten thousand times on the Internet, so let's examine that shall we?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_socialism
So socialism pretty much didn't exist until almost 1800 and didn't exist in practice until about 1900.

How many of those things in your list do you figure were invented before 1789, much less 1899?

Military - Earliest known documentation of military warfare was about 2700 BC between Sumer & Elam. Trojan War was about 1260 BC
Highways & roads - About 4000 BC in Mesopotamia & Babylon
Police & Fire Depts - History of ancient Chinese prefects date back to the Chu dynasty (about 1030BC) & organized modern police forces as far back as 1667 in Paris. There are records of firefighting machinery used in Ancient Egypt, including a water pump invented by Ctesibius (about 250 BC) & records of organized firefighting exist under Augustus of Rome (about 40 BC).
Public librarys - Date back to Briston, England in 1464. University libraries began popping up at the beginning of the 17th century (Bodelien in 1602, Norwich in 1608 for example).
Bridges - Date back pretty much as far as man, but the Arkadiko Bridge is the oldest one still standing today, which dates back to the Greek Bronze Age (about 1600BC)
US postal service - Dates back pretty much to the history of writing. The first organized courier service dates back to Egypt in about 2400BC. Public postal services as a government funded utility date back to the cursus publicus again created by Augustus of Rome in about 40 BC. The US postal service specifically still predates the earliest forms of socialism. Ben Franklin was the first Postmaster General in 1775.
CIA, FBI - The FBI dates back to 1908. Doubt the invention of socialism had much to do with it, other than to irradicate it as a threat to democracy.
IRS - Taxation dates back to 3000BC in Ancient Egypt. The US IRS formed in 1862 to raise funds for the Civil War. 14 years after the Communist Manifesto was written. Again, highly doubtful they are related.
EPA - Passed by Nixon on executive order. Hardly a socialist.
War - See "military".
Garbage collection - Organized municipal waste management dates back to 1751 London.
Public schools - Required Compulsory public education dates back to the Aztec Triple Alliance in 1428. In America, Boston Latin School, founded in 1635 still exists today.
Sewer System - Dates back to the Indus Valley Civilisation of South Asia around 2600 BC.
Court System - Law and civil code goes back to Ancient Egypt in 3000 BC. The Code of Hammurabi in 1760 BC was codified law inscribed in stone. Courts specifically date back to Corpus Juris Civilis in Ancient Rome around 530 BC.
The Polio Vaccine - Developed between 1936 & 1952 in the United States. Socialism had nothing to do with it.

I just wasted way too much time researching the wikis to get the exact dates and examples to point out just how retarded that overused tired argument is.

Socialist=communist=Marxist=not calling themselves progressives. Same shit, just a different name. The UN is part of the problem.

Here's something I found on fb.

'Progressive' as defined by the cultural Marxists (google it): AKA democrats, socialists, communists.
• Mass Immigration/Multiculturalism.
• Reducing white Europeans to a minority in every country.
• Elimination of the nuclear/traditional family consisting of man, woman, and child or children.
• Teaching and promoting of alternate sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality.
• Elimination of all borders and dissolution of the nation-state.
• Encouraging and pursuing the destruction of religion, unless it advances their cause as is currently the case with the left and Islam in Europe.
• Attempts to deconstruct the reality of natural differences between the genders and races.
• Using pseudo-scientific 'findings' to push the idea that race is a social construct. This is known as Bosnian Anthropology.
ʉۢ Blaming all minority crime on 'white oppression.'
• Only whites can be racist, people of color cannot be racist because they have been oppressed.
• The use of education, media, academia and entertainment to push these ideas and to brainwash white Europeans and only white Europeans.
• Creative and distorted history to portray white Europeans in as negative a light as possible.
• Using the creative and distorted history to indoctrinate generation after generation of whites, turning them against themselves, their history, culture and people. Doesn't sound very progressive does it, sounds more like there is something sinister behind these so called 'progressive' principles that the cultural Marxists push. Sounds much more like an anti-white anti- European set of principles hiding behind the mask of the term 'progressive.' Easiest way to make severely damaging things sound harmless, good and beneficial, is to give them false meaning. If you were raised to believe that putting your head in the fire was harmless, good and beneficial would you do it, probably not. This would be because your own sense of danger would kick in, but when we are inundated with these 'progressive' nation and people destroying ideas, the majority of Europeans accept them as harmless, good and beneficial because they come with false terms attached to them, such as 'enrichment' 'Diversifying' 'tolerant' 'social justice' and 'progressive.' The sense of danger is not there, they cannot see it and cannot see what is behind these 'progressive principles.'There is nothing progressive about them, they are not supposed to better Europeans, they are all about destroying them, their nations and culture.

Don't disagree.

I think there is a lot to that to be honest. Trump is a complicated paradigm of ego and pride and every move is calculated. He's not as simple as "I feel your pain" like his believers want to think. They are useful idiots whether they know it or not, as Stalin called them.

Some people are incapable of telling what is true and what is not based on what news source it came from. Yes, that came from the woman's own blog, but that's the point. Straight from the horse's mouth.

It has been reported in mainstream media as well if you need validation.

"Poorly educated" and proud of it.

[CCTAU]

"Poorly educated" and proud of it.

That is true IF you assume the person that posted it in the first place is intelligent.

[Kaos]

"Poorly educated" and proud of it.

I'll stack my education up against anybody's.  Particularly if experience counts. 

I'll even tilt at windmills with you if I believe in the cause. 

But not here. 

Johnson is an afterthought and non-factor except in his ability to siphon anti-Hillary votes.
Cruz is too weak in appearance and demeanor to survive the long game against Clinton.
Polls of today considered, I still think trump is the only remaining candidate with the personal magnetism to energize enough of the disenfranchised white middle class (the majority) to disrupt her.
Electing that saggy bag of tits would be the worst mistake this country could ever make. 

That's the alpha and omega of my position.

Any discussion of his "conservatism" or his lies or his motives is wasted on me.  I would not have chosen him.  But since he exists?  Do what you've got to. 

If you think someone who murders Americans out of ignorance or apathy is a better option?  Well, that's on you.  I've never tried to persuade any of you to vote for trump.  The next time I vote for him will be the first. I only posit that Clinton is worse than anything you can say or dream up.  The stark naked fear of trump on the faces of the leftist elite confirms that. 

[AUChizad]

The stark naked fear of trump on the faces of the leftist elite confirms that.

What about the decidedly louder and more pronounced stark naked fear of the right-wing elites? What does that say? Oh right fuck all the elites, right Che?

It says to me that they are all part and parcel of the same class. Repub or democrat, neither care about the core values upon which this country was founded nor do they respect the will of the majority of average working Americans who are sick of bloated government, outrageous tax policies, anti American trade policies and the eurofication / islamification of America. 

Party politics is no longer about good government or providing for the people, it's about remaining in power and padding their own nests.  Hillary Clinton puts on a different face at every campaign stop.  She doesn't care about any of the "little people" she only cares about her own Chairman Mao ass sitting in the big seat. 

The two parties have reached the point to where they're almost indistinguishable.  They are the "ruling class" and think they are socially and intellectually superior to us peons.  They have to do what's best for us because we're not smart enough or cultured enough to do it on our own. 

Trump represents chaos. The kind of chaos that can destroy that entire tower of lies. If I were to be a cult member of his, that would be the reason.  I welcome the chaos.   Not sure I wouldn't welcome a revolution.

[bottomfeeder]

I would vote for this guy before Killary.

Travel out to their sites, boards and blogs if anyone thinks the left is scared of Donald. They are doing all they can to make sure he is the nominee (aka softball for Hillary). K can go read it himself. They are hoping and praying its him.

Yeah, I think you were directing that at Kaos. The left is licking their chops at running against Trump. The right, not so much.

Kaos & CCTAU are aligned with the DNC. And Susan Sarandon. And can't understand why...

Correct. My b on the misquote.

But yes the left is wanting him badly. They admit it's the only way they think they'll win this one. 2016 should have been a slam dunk for the GOP. Then this idiot happened.
