America is not the greatest country...

[Socialist]

Delta is ready when you are, asshole.

It's clear you didn't bother to look into the facts I've presented, keep up your idiocy.

I didnt need to. The alleged "facts" are the same shit that gets posted on this board day in and day out. And as often as it gets refuted in the very next thread some ignorant asshole like you will repost all that crap.
So if you dont think America is the best country in the world, you are free to pack your Birkenstocks and your Che T-Shirt and hop on the next plane to whatever socialist shithole workers paradise you think is much better than living here.
Adios, squamous.

Are you kidding me? I'm pretty sure the bls, the CIA, the WHO, etc, etc are not lieing, facts are facts, and your anecdotal horseshit means nothing to me, if personal attacks are all you have, good for you. Even your fellow conservatives are laughing at your idiocy, I've seen it happen.

You can count on the fact that the WHO is lying. I once investigated the criteria the used to make their ranking, and it was mostly composed of bullshit that gave extra points to socialized medicine.

ThinkProgress is also nothing but a Marxist propaganda mill. If we traced the source of your charts we'd find that some Marxist propaganda mill was the source for all of them.

You are truly sad if you believe any of that garbage you spew. You don't just have to rely on the WHO or thinkprogress, in fact, find me one thing from think progress I've cited. Also, don't attack the source, attack the information, find if it's valid. Oh please, "Points to socialized medicine" You're one of those nuts who thinks socialized medicine is evil and fails, despite all evidence to the contrary, there's a reason american healthcare is viewed as a joke in countries that actually care about their people, you should talk to some actual europeans, here, let me help: Europe
Also, if you truly believe the WHO is lying, along with every other source on the evil marxist maoist leninist COMMUNIST OH NO socialized medicine, you're just another delusional idiot who is perfectly ok with defending millions lacking insurance and many dieing from fear of going to the doctor/hospital because of the cost it will bear down on them. Marxist propaganda mill? Jesus christ, marxism is simply a worldview based on materialism and a analysis of history along these lines, and I DARE you to show me which of these charts is from thinkprogress, and which one is linked back to "marxist propaganda mills." I've watched lectures from actual marxists, they are extremely intelligent individuals, usually professors, who can care less about establishing communism, they simply have a method of analysis, and quite frankly, marxist analysis is a beautiful thing, but of course, you appear to be stuck in the McCarthy era, it's time for you to grow up.

Communist In Chief is pretty accurate considering he used every Political trick in the book to usher in Socialized medicine. That during the worst economic crisis in 80 years. How many times did we hear the phrase "Obama is now doing a hard pivot to jobs" during that time? What moron would be doing anything BUT focusing on jobs during a Depression?

"Communist in chief" You clearly don't know anything about communism or actual communists who have lead countries...

Your heroes?

I appreciate the contributions many communist leaders have made to their respective countries..

Like mass starvation, the crushing of freedom and the slaughter of millions? You're a hollow, pretentious fool playing at what you want to think is an 'enlightened' world view that in fact is just shit-all stupid.

First of all, I'm not a maoist/leninist/etc, so don't think I want to emulate Mao's china or the USSR under stalin. You do realize we have mass starvation under capitalism? The mass starvation that occured under mao/stalin is horrible, as were mao and stalin, however, I'm honest about the contributions made to women's rights, bringing their countries out of a feudalistic state, rapidly industrializing, increasing the life expectancy, healthcare, throwing out imperialist powers.. I never claim to have an enlightened worldview, if all you have are childish insults and no intellectual response, go back to dissing immigrants.

The real question of this thread is why the OP is such a shameless hypocrite.

How exactly am I a hypocrite? ...

You go on and on - like a fool - about how horrible the US is, but you sit on your damn fool ass enjoying the freedoms and protection the country provides LIKE THE HYPOCRITE YOU ARE. You're a spineless buffoon who lacks the courage of his so-called convictions. You're just playing at what you want to believe about yourself, but you wouldn't last a week in a country that really practiced even a significant degree of the communist ideal you pretend to admire.

Where and when on anything remotely like the scale of death that mao and stalin brought about?

Jesus christ, people like you are the reason we can't have political discussions. The US lacks in so many areas, that's an undisbutable fact, I'm sorry for wanting the US to improve, better kill me. Freedoms? I'm sorry, but other countries have elections that aren't funded by super pacs, billionaires.. Protection? Protection from what? Right wing extremists? I could get protection from any country with a military, I seriously doubt anything is going to go down anyways, the UN exists.. A buffoon? Oh please, you don't even know what ideology I want to follow, I'm a democratic socialist, although in the current realm of things, I would love to emulate scandinavia, and eventually, begin a transition to a more socialist system, although this will take time, it's already being brought forth with worker co-ops, etc, etc..

If we use the same standards used by those who blame every single death in the famine period directly on stalin/mao, let's see what we arrive at..

1. Hunger and World Poverty. About 21,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every four seconds, as you can see on this display. Sadly, it is children who die most often.

Multiply that by 365, and be sure to look at famines happening, these usually occur in africa. Then again, I know this isn't a honest method to determine deaths and blame them on capitalism, but it's how dishonest people attribute deaths to mao/stalin.

go back to dissing immigrants.

I've never done that, you lying sack of crap.

Let me be clear, I despite stalin and mao, but I'm also an honest person who prefers to look at all sides.

I figured I'd start throwing out some lies like you have been this entire time, good to know the kind of person you are. Get off a damn political forum if you don't want to discuss the failings of our country.

You want to believe that "have political discussions" means clapping politely while you prance around in your lefty dress trying to impress yourself. Too fucking bad.

I'm not trying to impress myself, what would lead you to that conclusion? I don't enjoy personally attacking the poster, attack the information, find its flaws, something you don't seem able to do.

..

Yeah, they're funded and controlled by the same people in power already. Europe abandoned even the pretense of democracy years ago.

Do you think socialist Nazi Germany was the greatest country on earth?

After all, they had the most Progressive tax code in the world, taxing the top 4% at higher levels than anyone.

They were environmentalists and were the first to create national park reserves and protect endanger species and protect animals from scientific experimentation. Hell, Hitler loves animals so much he was a vegetarian.

The Nazi regime had the best nanny state in the world. In fact, the German people had a higher standard of living than their Ally counterparts. What they would do is take gold from Jews, and the ship them off to death camps to help pay for it all. Then their troops would ravage countries they conquered and send their plunder back home by the train loads. Then they would create a currency in these countries to inflate their economies into oblivion. And lastly, they would tell the leaders of these conquered countries to round up the Jews and take their gold to help stabilize their economies.

It worked like a charm.

Of course it wasn't, but your argumentation is pathetic. Sure, nazi germany did some things right, but your argument essentially says we should not bother with progressive taxes or anything else because nazi germany did them. That is weak.
