Socialized Capitalism

If you’re like me you tend to think of these as black or white; either one or the other. In reality, a pure form doesn’t exist. Governments are actually hybrids of both, usually having more of one than the other.   Socialism is defined under various theories as governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, government here meaning mass ownership by society. Another...

Liberalism Anti-American?

Let’s begin by saying the average liberal isn’t anti-American; just the opposite. They see wrongs in our society and want to fix them, trusting party leaders to do the right thing. Trouble is, party leaders are leftist liberals who work to achieve unrealistic goals. By leftist I mean-socialist oriented, trying to create a hybridized American socialism.

Setting The Tone?

In high schools & colleges across the land liberalism bordering on anti-capitalism is presented in classrooms and lecture halls as the only humanitarian answer to problems in society such as racism, sexism, homophobia and what some perceive as our have/have-not distribution of wealth.

Worse still, the charge is made over and over how my ideological bent leads toward...

In her mind, people condemning her husband, including the women  themselves, were all right wing conspirators. There were no liberals, progressives or democrats of any kind because – what? He was innocent? Attacked...

Deceits and Evils of the Left

I had my political awakening in High School. Mom was horrified. She was a first generation Russian-immigrant, dem-blue thru and thru. To her FDR and JFK were like deities. When I told her I was conservative and liked Nixon she just about croaked. How could I be so blind not to know republicans were cigar chomping, power-hungry czars of business and industry who didn’t give a damn for little guys or common folk?...
