"Bourgeois", "workers", and "comrade" all in one video. Excellent. I guess these ignorant children haven't lived long enough to have a real historical perspective of communism. That doesn't excuse the schools they attended for not teaching them about what truly makes America great. Communist countries would beat and arrest the lot of them and summarily execute them for standing in the street protesting, or even belonging to a subversive group. See also China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cambodia.

If you've never seen it or shared it, please take a look at this short cartoon:

What are you talking about? I'm watching Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States and he never showed anyone getting beat up or jailed or executed by those commie countries. Yet there was no shortage of footage showing American carnage upon the people it fought, both at home and abroad. According to him it was is American imperialistic oppression by the CIA propping up puppet gov'ts in third world countries that is the real danger in this world. He blamed the FBI for oppressing the people of the U.S.

And that's why the CIA had him executed for making the series..... Oh wait, that didn't happen.

I know it's probably proof of a personality flaw, but this actually made me laugh -

I believe I've figured it all, and have created a flowchart to explain what's going on:

You need to update your flowcharting skills. The question goes in the diamond. Boxes are for the workflow or process. I expect better from you Joe....

BTW, the term "recreational outrage" was coined on one of the more liberal sites I visit. The angst there has been overwhelming since the election.

In order to save his legacy, Obama at the 13th hour released a whole bunch of money to struggling inner-city familes:

US quietly sent $221M to Palestinians in Obama's last hours | Fox News

The official said former Secretary of State John Kerry had informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left the State Department for the last time Thursday.

The aides said written notification dated Jan. 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald Trump took the oath of office.

In addition to the $221 million for the Palestinians, the Obama administration also told Congress on Friday it was going ahead with the release of another $6 million in foreign affairs spending, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations, the congressional aides said.

The aides and the State Department official weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity.

Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations.

food for thought: the riots and violence from the left youve seen over the few weeks is the reason liberals want to disarm you. They are just having a tough time holding it in until that day...
