You know what they say about idle hands...
It's hilarious how the true communists out themselves while pretending to be liberals isn't it? When I hear a comment like that, I like to paraphrase them and ask them whether or not they have said "I believe that the bill of rights should be altered and that my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be eliminated." If they calm down enough to finish the conversation, I explain to them what the right of life is by showing them pictures of the citizens that Mao Zedong murdered. It's amazing what showing them pictures of dead mothers tied to their dead daughters with only portions of their head remaining does to illustrate that point. Yes, it's a macabre thing to keep on a cellphone, but there isn't another way to reach them. They care more when they see what can and will happen. They really are the useful idiots that Stalin pointed them out to be.
Yup. And this same liberal also told me that Walmart doesn't pay living wage so employees sometimes must augment their salary with food stamps and Medicaid. She thought Walmart must be made to pay employees more. She mentioned a plan in the Northwest to increase minimum wage from $9.00 to $15.00. She doesn't understand that small businesses don't have extra cash just lying around. Such a plan would cause them to fold or relocate to another state. And Walmart? She doesn't complain about paying super-low prices for groceries and other household items. These people want it both ways. They want low prices but complain that wages are too low. No one is forcing them to work for these employers. They can always improve their situation through schooling and/or a better job.

She reminds me of Lee Harvey Oswald. He didn't fit-in anywhere. He was a parallel members of society, not actually participating but heavily critical. He was a thin-skinned loner operating by his own rhythm and rules. The oppression of the working man coursed through Oswald's veins. He found strength in the ideals of communism and socialism. He had become enraged by what he perceived as the injustice of the capitalist system. And he decided to make someone pay for his perceived failure. His mind-set is exactly that of the "Occupy Movement" that swept America last year. J. Edgar is turning over in his grave.

Seems to me America has bred an entire movement of people with the views of Lee Harvey Oswald. Progressive liberals are embracing socialism and communism with fanatical fervor that is beginning to alarm me greatly. They believe in a world where successful people are punished for their efforts and made to share their sacrifices and risk with minimum-wage workers who haven't helped themselves.

The funny thing is that black is now white and white is now black (no racism implied). Oswald killed Kennedy, a Democrat who believed in the right to bear arms and asked not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. Now these same Democrats want the country to do for them. And if memory services me right, Democrats once initialed the border wars in "bleeding Kansas," were the purveyors of slavery and opened the ball on the North to begin a civil war. Afterward they founded the Klan. A mere 150 years later they are embraced by the very populace they enslaved. Now we can understand why our liberal educational institutions seek to rewrite history. Revisionist history seeks to whitewash the crimes against humanity committed by the racist democrat establishment. Yet the white Northern republicans are the very people who abolished slavery and set America on a true path of freedom and equality. And a Southern democrat named John Wilkes Booth killed the greatest president in American history over it. Yes, Lincolns accomplishments were subsequently in vain.

When I think of the progressive liberal mindset it too has changed over the years. Let's not forget that Thomas Paine was a true liberal. Today's liberal is much different than those like Thomas Paine who penned "Common Sense." "Common Sense" stoked the fires that set the American Revolution in motion. In those times a liberal was far different from those of today. In those times a liberal was a patriot. He sought to abolish the taxes imposed on the people by King George. Today liberals seek to set aside the constitution and, as Barack Obama said at his inauguration, fundamentally change America. No attention is given to the fact that the constitution doesn't provide the President with the power to do so. So the progressive liberal now sees his president as the sole power, one with the authority of a king, not a president. Remember, a true liberal, Thomas Paine, wrote in "Common Sense" .....
"And he has shown himself such an inveterate enemy to liberty, and discovered such a thirst for arbitrary power, is he, or is he not, a proper person to say 'you shall make no laws but what I please!"'

She and her liberal minions have become Lee Harvey Oswald. It is they who present the real risk to America. Just my two cents.
