Let us always remember. When a people and a country forget their origins and why it all came about , then it is only a matter of time when freedom and liberty will be lost.
It kind of makes you wonder.
From Ace of Spades
Thomas Sowell is national treasure. But not to the progressives
Thomas Sowell Born in NC, but raised in Harlem, educated at Harvard, Columbia and Chicago University. He is an economist who has taught at Cornell, Brandeis, The Urban Institution, UCLA and now at Stanford. He is also a Marine.
You never hear this man’s name mentioned on the main stream media. Like Justice Clarence Thomas they likely consider him a traitor to his race.
There is other peoples money, then there is “MY” money.
There is a scene in the movie Doctor Zhivago where the good doctor comes home to discover that the Revolution has abolished private property.

Definition of capitalism : an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market. A free market is an economy operating by free competition.
Capitalism when it comes to book royalties has been very, very good for Comrade Bernie. Along with his hew dacha on lake Champlain life has been pretty good for someone you never held a steady job until he was elected Mayor of Burlington (by 10 votes) at age 40.
Bernie Sanders made more than $858,000 in royalties for two new books last year, according to the 2016 financial disclosure the senator quietly filed on Sunday.
And he’s keeping the money.
Most of that money, $795,000, comes from Our Revolution: A Future To Believe In, a book Sanders wrote for St. Martin’s Press. Published on Nov. 15, the book included Sanders’ account of the 2016 election. Hardcover copies sold for $27—the average amount contributed to Sanders’ presidential campaign.
In addition, Sanders received $63,750 in royalties for a book that hasn’t yet hit the shelves: The Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution. The book seeks to help its teenage audience “learn more about progressive causes and how to mobilize around key issues they care about,”
After the Bolsheviks took control of Russia for good Lenin and other leading Bolshevik leaders appropriated the mansions and estates of the wealthy landowners who in most cases were no longer among the living. I doubt very much that the scene above took place at any of their residences.
Bernie writes books (producing a product), a publisher takes a chance that they’re many people who want to read i.e. buy them. Obviously this is the case and Bernie made a windfall. Good for him.
Like Al Gore who has made millions off the global warming climate change scam, Bernie has achieve a very comfortable lifestyle all the while pushing an ideology of the redistribution of other peoples wealth.
Socialism for the people, not the socialist.
I hope that if and when Bernie’s long for Revolution arrives that he and all the other rich progressives that are pushing this will be more then willing to open their homes to all the new immigrants from south of the border and the middle east, just like Dr. Zhivago.
Dirty little secret, most of the so called 1%, Steyer, Gates, Bloomberg, et al. are all on board with this. They what to keep the torches and pitchforks away from their door, and avoid any bad publicity from the media. Feeding the alligator hoping it will eat them last.
“All are equal, just some people are more equal then others”
Venezuela is on fire
I wonder what Bernie, Sean Penn, and Danny Glover have to say.
I wonder if they read The Daily Mail. They’re certainly not going to read much in the New York Times or The Times Argus, will they?

The philosophy of moral relativism has been with us since the days of the ancient Greeks. This philosophy propagates the lie that there are no Moral absolutes and objective truths.
Found this You Tube channel by accident. It is small and relatively new. (no pun intended)
It’s worth checking out.
First the came for the climate change deniers, and also here.

What would America look like under Totalitarian rule?
Look no further then our college campuses.

There is a place in America where civil rights don’t exist.
The First Amendment doesn’t apply. Neither does the Sixth Amendment. (Never mind the Second.) Not only Freedom of Speech, but Freedom of Association (NAACP v. Alabama) is under fire.
Snowflakes. Oversensitive. We’ve all heard those accusations leveled at college students. Are millennial college students really an oversensitive generation? Or are they right to be oversensitive.
Two types of people are sensitive; the entitled and the endangered. It’s reasonable to be paranoid about subtle social nuances if you live in a totalitarian state where the wrong word or look will be punished. Where someone is always watching for even the most minor acts of political incorrectness.
College students are afraid. And they should be.The average college campus with its speech codes, thought policing, violent protests and kangaroo courts has no resemblance to anything else in the United States of America.
Colleges are totalitarian states. And they are the blueprints of the left’s plan for the entire country.
