1. While I admit it to be wishful thinking, if one could examine the two sides of the political divide logically, without the emotion,....everyone would be conservative.
But, I'll construct the argument any way.
It boils down to this: the Left wants to beat, coerce, force everyone to do what they say....the Right just wants to be left alone.
2. The history of every Leftist iteration involves gulags, concentration camps, re-education camps, psychiatric hospitals, mass murder, starvation, right down to bureaucratic over regulation, huge fines and the loss of one's livelihood.
Obey, obey, obey
It explains the affinity of Liberalism and Islamofascism....both are about 'submission.'
3.The Left makes arguments such as this: how to provide for the lowest 20% of earners if we don't force everyone else into progressive taxation, ObamaCare, etc., because everyone knows how selfish and greedy the 'wealthy' are.
Here is the Democrat torch-bearer doing just that:
"During the confirmation hearings for Representative Tom Price’s appointment as Health and Human Services Secretary, Bernie Sanders took aim at Price’s claim that America is fundamentally compassionate. “No, we are not a compassionate society … In terms of our relationship with poor and working people, our record is worse than virtually any other country on earth,” the junior senator from Vermont claimed."
Bernie Is Blind to Compassion without Compulsion | Christopher Machold
4. What if I could prove the Marxist Democrat....is that redundant?...incorrect?
Easily done.
"...the question of whether Americans act compassionately is distinct, and one Sen. Sanders gets wrong. Americans as private moral individuals are rife with the virtue of compassion. And this is not in spite of our wealth and relative freedom, as some might suggest, but because of it.
Sen. Rand Paul, for his part, addressed Sanders’ claim with statistics. At $400 billion dollars in 2014, and similar numbers annually, private individuals and organizations donated more than the GDP of many nations." Ibid.
5. "Even “ordinary” people, those who don’t make on their own more than some countries, also display these virtues. Sanders, for his part, wouldn’t dare deny this. After all, he bragged frequently on the campaign trail about the “small donations” from regular working-class Americans that drove his campaign. In fact, not only is charitable giving steadily increasing, but a large majority of it is driven by individuals rather than foundations or corporations.
But if both the “one percent” and the rest of us — the so-called “donating public” — are giving in massive amounts to all sorts of charitable causes, .... then where does the disagreement lie on whether American society is compassionate?" Ibid.
Isn't it past time for the simpletons who accept Leftist propaganda to begin questioning it???
Or....maybe that explains the recent election.
