BEWARE OF MILLIONAIRES BUT NOT THE REASONS YOU THINK

I have always taken the position that wealthy people ,for the most part, do not consider socialism a threat to their wealth in any meaningful way. When we take into consideration the wealthy class that still remains in Socialist countries, i.e., Venuzuela, Cuba, Zimbabwa, China, and did exist in the old Communist Russia, there would seem, for them, not much to worry about.

With that in mind, check out the latest millionaires clubs being formed (below) to "fundamentally" change our economic system.

Having us all sharing in a common misery will have to be a Kumbaya moment for those who will still be rich after having been left with the power to dictate to the Progressive megaphones and voting fodder on how to live your lives to their benefit at the top of the heap with politicians, academia, and priviledged elites...... Good luck in 2020.

To explain more to the point, take the time to glance over the following link. It reeks of Socialism if not Communism.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE 62 YEARS ?

Sixty two years ago I was stationed in Salina ,Kansas at Schilling AFB. During that period I discovered the most awesome cole slaw recipe ever invented. It was the recipe developed by the Brookville Hotel, a small hotel located in Brookville, Kansas about 30 miles Southwest of Salina.

Probably went there a couple of times a month for their terrific fried chicken dinner and the cole slaw The hotel has been in business since 1870. Back in 1955 it did not look at all as the photo depicts. It's the same looking building but was more an " in town" location, but then, that was 62 years ago.

If anyone would be interested in trying this recipe, the famous Brookfield cole slaw, just Google "Brookfield cole slaw. ...Yummmmmm!

THE MENTALITY OF LIBERAL THINK

Liberal compassion lends itself to deceitfulness by subordinating the supposed concern with the capacity to produce the dominant but unannounced imperative of moral validation.

Accordingly, an ineffectual program may serve the compassionate purposes of its designers and defenders as well as or better than a successful one. Think the "War on Poverty."

NO LONGER PROGRESSIVE..TODAY'S CLASS IS SOCIALISM 201

Some people just can’t put politics aside.

Two capitalist student groups at Kent State University (Turning Point USA and Young Americans for Liberty) challenged some socialist student groups to a canned food donation competition.

“We decided to engage in a friendly challenge in hopes to increase donations overall because a challenge is always a way to get people active and willing to participate, and to ease tensions that have been prevalent, said Kaitlin Bennett, president of Turning Point USA to Fox News.

The socialists weren’t having it. Socialists put ideology over charity

Instead of agreeing to the competition, which would benefit people in need, the socialist groups opted to use the situation as a way to attack the capitalist groups and advance their own platform.

The Young Democratic Socialists of America issued a statement on Twitter:

“While this event would benefit the public greatly, we at YDSA do not work with organizations that promote/endorse figures who do promote sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Zionism, or any other intolerant dangerous belief. Therefore it is against our principles to work with either TPUSA or YAL.”

The Kent State Socialist Collective issued a longer statement on its Twitter account, blaming capitalism for the fact that canned food drives are necessary in the first place.

“More often than not, people are willing to donate canned goods for a food drive. But how often do we ask why there are people who rely on our charity to survive?

“We have enough food to donate, and too many people who need donations. The issue is about wealth, who has it and who doesn’t. The issue is with capitalism.”

It really was just about donations

The capitalist groups didn’t fire back and fan the flames of political debate. After all, they were just trying to get more canned food donations.

“The purpose of this challenge was to extend an olive branch to our ideological counterparts on campus, open up a mutual dialogue and friendly channels of communication, and accomplish some good for our community in the process,” the capitalist groups said in a statement.

A guy from Britain asked me one day how I liked taxation "with" representation......................................So much for revolutions.    

 HEALTH CARE WHEN ?

       A POSTED COMMENT ON FLAG REMOVAL      

   Yesterday I was in a Civil War Museum at one of the points where a major engagement took place. While looking through the gift shops I noticed the absence of Confederate flags, none. I asked the volunteer about it and was told they had to remove them. How stupid.

How ironic it would be if one day involuntary servitude were to return because no one could explain the past or the Civil War. You could put a hundred Progressives in a room and not a one would know what the hell is going on or why.................Progressives, the dumbest people on the planet. 

 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS GETTING SMARTER ?

The threat of totalitarianism has always loomed over us like a dark shadow over basic human principles like freedom. We just never thought we'd get to see the day when we would see young Americans willing to trade those principles, not for national security, but for the imaginary "safety" of never having to defend ones viewpoint....................

 Mark Halperin — author and senior political analyst for MSNBC — has been accused of sexual harassment by five women, and he is now taking “a step back from [his] day-to-day work.”

According to accusations reported by CNN, Halperin grabbed a woman’s breasts without her consent, pressed himself against three of his colleagues, and solicited them for sex. Halperin did not deny the allegations, but he did note that he sought relationships with some junior staff members.

So, ........grope  (grōp)

2. To search blindly or uncertainly.

I dunno, I think he knew where he was going.

SO YA WANNA TAX THE RICH DO YA

From what I have viewed in the way of political ads on the tube lately is that the Progressives running for governor in the next election here in Illinois are all in for a progressive taxing program. I think the following should be a fair warning to Progressive devotee's who think they are led by people hugging pretenders.

Illinoisans got a glimpse of that shape-shifting monster in 2014, when lawmakers attempted to implement a so-called “fair tax,” which they claimed would only hike taxes on the rich. The reality was the 2014 proposal would have increased taxes on anyone with more than $22,000 in taxable income.

– Illinoisans need only look across the state border to see the term “rich” has been redefined to dip deep into the middle class.The highest tax rate of 8.98 percent in Iowa applies to those earning more than just $70,785. The highest tax rate of 6 percent in Kentucky applies to those earning more than $75,000. The highest rate of 6 percent in Missouri kicks in on any income (after deductions) just over $9,000. And Wisconsin’s second-highest tax rate of 6.27 percent hits worker incomes from approximately $22,400 to $247,000.

Most progressive tax programs reflect the Progressive mindset i.e. What's a little bulls**t. The proletariat will forget it by the next election.

**************************************************

The problem for socialism is, the slide into despotism is inevitable, because the govenrment is put in charge of everything during the "interim" transition to Marx's paradise. But as for socialism of various stripes, I'd rather focus on the dysfunctionality of a system that relies on people putting aside their self-interest for the betterment of all. That’s a fantasy capable of engaging young minds before they have any experience of adult life, which is why the ideological stronghold of Marxism is academia .

INTERESTING NOTE ON THE HILL/BILLIE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

 I was curious about the accusations of some about the amount of monies that were actually appropriated to charities by the foundation, so I went to the Charity Navigator site that rates charities to see what they had to say.

They rate them well enough but there are some things that are left to the viewers imagination.

 The foundation does not donate to charities as such. The Clinton Foundation categorizes themselves as an implementer. That is to say, that the good works they do are funded by having staff to do the work where the charitable work is being done. ( Now that's control of expenditures, Blowing in The Wind.) 

Asked for some examples of the work it performs itself, the Clinton Foundation listed these:
 Clinton Development Initiative staff in Africa train rural farmers and help them get access to seeds, equipment and markets for their crops.
    Clinton Climate Initiative staff help governments in Africa and the Caribbean region with reforestation efforts, and in island nations to help develop renewable energy projects.
    Staff at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, an independent, affiliated entity, work in dozens of nations to lower the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine, scale up pediatric AIDS treatment and promote treatment of diarrhea through life-saving Zinc/ORS treatment.
    Clinton Health Matters staff work with local governments and businesses in the United States to develop wellness and physical activity plans.

There is also a red check mark in the column tracking CEO salaries. Now that figures...............

The other day Nancy Pelousi suggested that should she ever be ousted from her position of power in Congress, or fired, it would be considered a sexist act. Now knowing the penchant for Progressives to reach into their catechism of divisive adjectives, sexist made me blink so hard I bruised an eyelid.

But, considering we would have to abide Progressive leadership, it becomes clear that Progressives would like to make that catechism Federal law. With that in place no woman, (sexist) black,(racist) or incompetent (prejudiced) could ever be fired or let go for any reason. 

 That could make a trip to Walmart a whole new experience.

TAKING A KNEE IN FOOTBALL IS ORIGINAL ? 
***********************************************

We all know of Kaepernick and others of taking to their knees in protest of social injustice during the National Anthem at the beginning of the games. But there is a problem with it in the long run. It becomes so normal an action before every game people will start to turn off the TV the first 5 minutes or show up late until the opening ceremonies are over. Either way it will possibly turn into a meaningless effort.

But we have to understand that taking to the knees really started in the Oval Office a few years back and that did not last all that long either.

*******************************************

 Professional sports have been examples of excellence for ourselves and our children.  They have matched up the best players, regardless of skin color or ethnicity, and set the highest standard of human achievement that merits the respect of all Americans.  Its champions have inspired and become heroes to all of us.

 But now, to advance equality and fairness, we must end this.  We must, as in many other professions, replace merit with a different standard that reflects the makeup of America as a whole.
 
This must be done by what civil rights rulings have called "disparate impact."  If a community is 12 percent Eskimo, but a local company has less than this share of Eskimo employees, this is to be seen as clear evidence of racial discrimination.  It must be corrected by a preferential quota requiring hiring of Eskimos.

 African-American males, for example, are only about six percent of America's population, yet they are so talented that they are approximately 70 percent of NFL and 74.4 percent of NBA players.

 The NFL and NBA, to fix this racial equality, should be required to hire and fire players by race until by, say, 2020, each team fits the mix of America itself.  In the most recent Census, the USA was 12.6 percent African-American, 16.3 percent Hispanic or Latino, 4.8 percent Asian-American, and 72.4 percent white.  NFL and NBA players should reflect that same racial proportion.

 If our sports are to be politicized, then it is time we make merit and talent secondary and impose racial quotas first and foremost.  Sports should reflect America's proportion of races.

 Painful as it will be to lose the excellence of today's pro football and basketball, these teams should be brought into line with America's national racial profile.  To do less would be racist.  Our sports should be examples of racial equality not only in words and gestures, but also in fact.
