The Belief That Life Was the Result of an Accident Is Unscientific

How about you take a look at the aims of the Communist Party, USA, and the aims of the modern Democrat Party...

Ready to admit that you've been euchred into supporting communism?

Not hardly since your case is very weak.

ObamaCare is not government healthcare. The VA is and is very popular with the GOP. Are they commies?

Increased cap gains and inheritance tax are supported by Warren Buffet. Is he a commie?

How can anyone object to President Barack Obama suggesting we “just choose from what works.” Is that communism or just common sense? Or are you so much an ideologue that results don't matter? Are you a commie?

(Thanks for not trying to insult me this time.)

You said this:

"We Liberals/Democrats/Progressives are a diverse lot so I'm sure you can always fine one individual who shares the very same aims and desires as Bolsheviks but I for one don't and neither does the party so far as I know. I challenge you to find communism in the Democratic Party platforms from any of the past presidential election."


And I proved the very opposite is the case, here:

Let's check.


How about you take a look at the aims of the Communist Party, USA, and the aims of the modern Democrat Party.


Watch, and note the consubstantial basis of both the aims of the Communist Party and the Democrat Party:

......it is ...extraordinary.....the correspondence between the aims of the communist party and the aims of the Democrats.....

1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

2. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

3. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

4. . Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.


5. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

6. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

7. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

8. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

9. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

10. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.


11. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

12. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

13. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce



Now....wouldn't an honest appraisal agree that all or almost all are clearly the aims and direction of Democrats/Liberals/Progressive leaders?

I got 'em from a website of declared communist goals...

The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals



You might take a look at this one, too.
10 planks of Communist manifesto
Communist Manifesto 10 Planks

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.



"Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street"
Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street - Shadowproof


And this:

"Government control of private sector activity...is aptly described as Bolshevik- or Marxist, socialist, collectivist, statist, or, for that matter, fascist, too.Indeed, nationalized health care was one of the first programs enacted by the Bolsheviks after they seized power in 1917(Banks, insurance companies and means of communications were also taken over by Soviet authorities immediately."
Dziewanowski, "A History of Soviet Russia," p. 107.


They didn't call it ObamaCare....or 'single payer'....but it was.




....we are now free of that inordinate fear of communism.... Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter: UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME - Address at Commencement Exercises at the University


President Barack Obama downplayed the differences between capitalism and communism, claiming that they are just “intellectual arguments.” He urged those at a town hall eventin Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday to “just choose from what works.”
Obama Downplays Difference Between Capitalism, Communism



And now you're running from it like your tail is on fire.


I won, huh?

.....and you're really embarrassed at having been co-opted into supporting communism.
 
Classic liberals hate bolshies as much as they do Nazis, but today the meaning of the word liberal is quite unclear.



Pretty clear to me....

41cIYwo-PRL._SX340_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

I do not think that left = liberal any more than right = conservative.

Many on the left have nothing to do with actual liberalism though they do try to hijack the word.

Many on the right have nothing to do with conservatism either, no matter how hard the media tries to pin them on conservatives.



Point of Order!!!


Don't mistake what are called 'Liberals' are in any way similar to classical Liberals....what would be called conservatives today.

How Socialist John Dewey Switched Labels
by Jim Peron

  1. Pity the poor liberal. And I mean the real liberal. Not the modern watered-down socialist who calls himself a liberal but a real, honest, classical liberal. There is so much confusion over the term and real liberals have allowed fake liberals to get away with this subtle destruction of the language.
  2. The classical liberals proposed laissez faire and this led to prosperity. The economics of 19th century liberalism brought about a major increase in the standard of living of all people. Thus real liberalism produced the effects which socialists dreamed their system would provide.
    1. Many socialists wanted prosperity and thought socialism would lead to such results faster than classical liberalism. But at the same time many socialists saw their ideology as a means of grabbing power for themselves and it was the power, not the promised prosperity, which attracted them.
  3. [Socialists] knew that liberalism had a good reputation with the working classes — the very audience which they were targeting. The idea was to adopt the name liberal to describe socialism. Socialism, as socialism, was harder to sell. But by taking a name they did not deserve they felt they could make political gains on the backs of classical liberalism. And they did.
  4. In the United States, where liberalism most clearly reversed its meaning, in common parlance, it was the socialist John Dewey who openly promoted the idea of stealing the liberal label. Dewey, in his book Individualism Old and New argued that liberal individualism had in fact disappeared and been replaced by state capitalism and that collectivism already existed in America.
    1. But he noted the collectivism of that day was a “collectivism of profit” and not a “collectivism of planning”. He said the only way liberalism could return to its true meaning was to adopt socialism as the means by which liberal goals would be achieved. As he put it central economic planning was “the sole method of social action by which liberalism can realize its professed aims.”
  5. Peter Witonski, in his essay The Historical Roots of American Planning said: “Dewey was the first to argue that the world ‘liberal’—which once stood for liberal, free-market capitalism—could better serve the needs of social democracy in America than the world ‘socialism’.
    1. The liberalism of Adam Smith was out-of-date Dewey argued.” In his book Liberalism and Social Action, Dewey suggested that the goals of a free society could best be obtained “only by a reversal of the means to which early liberalism was committed.” But the means of liberalism were fundamentally connected to the basic premises of liberalism. A reversal of means, while keeping similar goals in mind, also changed the premises of liberalism. The “new wisdom” of Keynes with the “reversal of means” of Dewey really meant stealing the name of liberalism and applying it to another very different species. The famed economist Joseph Schumpeter noted that “the enemies of private enterprise have thought it wise to appropriate its label.”
  6. Today a great deal of confusion reigns because socialists decided to deceptively call their own ideology liberal. And, to a very large degree, the academics who wrote the recent texts on liberalism were socialists. Hence they were quite willing to pretend that socialism was a modern form of classical liberalism.
  7. [Classical] liberal describes individuals supporting free markets, private property, profit management and limited governments. o-called “liberals” support socialism, state ownership, bureaucratic management and statism.

individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government?

These?
Communism, Nazism, Liberalism, Socialism, Fascism or Progressivism.

Physics and chemistry do not explain abiogenesis. There are many theories, but unless one can replicate abiogenesis in the lab it cannot be proven.

Actually, in 1951, the Miller-Urey experiment created amino acids (including ones that don't occur naturally) using nothing more than the gasses of the primitive Earth, water, and electricity. The experiment has been replicated hundreds of times using other gases and substituting UV radiation for simulated lightning and the results have always been the same, the production of organic molecules from pre-biotic ingredients.

It turns out that the production of organic compounds from inorganic compounds is actually fairly simple.
None of which are life.

No, you dunce....Both Nazism and Communism come from the same source, and lead to the same conclusion.


Stalin taught Hitler and supported Hitler.

1. When Hitler began his advances on other countries, Stalin refused to join the nations talking of stopping him. Stalin was, in fact, pleased that Hitler was destroying the old order throughout Europe. "There will be no parliaments, no trade unions, no armies, no governments....then Stalin will come as the liberator...millions of people will be sitting in concentration camps, hoping someone will liberate them, then Stalin and the Red Army will come and liberate them. That was his plan." Vladimir Bukovsky.



2. But Hitler didn't have the supplies nor resources he needed, so August 23, 1939, Soviet Russia' Foreign Minister Molotov signs the Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Pact while German Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop and Soviet leader Josef Stalin look on, while standing under a portrait of Lenin –materials to be provided in later economic agreements.

a. "1939- At the same time, Stalin helps supply the German war effort, providing the Nazi regime with oil, wood, copper, manganese ore, rubber, grain, and other resources under a trade agreement between the two nations. Stalin views the war against Germany as a conflict "between two groups of capitalist countries", saying there is "nothing wrong in their having a good fight and weakening each other."

3. September 1, 1939, Hitler attacked Poland....on September 17, Stalin attacks from the East. The Soviet radio transmitter in Minsk guided the Nazi bombers attacking Polish cities. Newsreel footage showed the Red Army in Nazi helmets, marching side by side with the SS. One photo shows the hammer and sickle along side the swastika.



And Roosevelt yearned to be part of the 'dictator's club.'

Must have been a tough decision for FDR on June 21, 1941 when he two buddies had a falling out, huh?

How did you decide which to support????


Halloween's a-comin'....
OK....so, I'm Betsy Ross, and you can be Joseph Stalin?
 
Physics and chemistry do not explain abiogenesis. There are many theories, but unless one can replicate abiogenesis in the lab it cannot be proven.

Actually, in 1951, the Miller-Urey experiment created amino acids (including ones that don't occur naturally) using nothing more than the gasses of the primitive Earth, water, and electricity. The experiment has been replicated hundreds of times using other gases and substituting UV radiation for simulated lightning and the results have always been the same, the production of organic molecules from pre-biotic ingredients.

It turns out that the production of organic compounds from inorganic compounds is actually fairly simple.
But that is still far far away from even a simple virus.

I think accurate to say that abiogenesis has still not been recreated by man using random processes.
 
Correct, there is debate as to when we become a person. Bible says in the womb, but not a specific age.
Actually the bible says the first breath, but the Right ALWAYS rewrite the bible to suite their political needs.

Adam represents mankind in the bible, otherwise original sin and mankind's need for redemption would be meaningless.

Genesis 2: 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Why do all Christian haters think they are Bible scholars?

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5

He was priming the pump with His first human being.

That does not prove a rule, dude, but good point.
