I keep asking you why you are NOT in that company - and you never answer.

You're making my point. Everything you say about Trump is what Trump says about Trump.

The whole rising tides argument kills incentive and small business.
Another Trumpist lie.
There are many countries that you would call "socialist" that are doing better than the US.

You seem to enjoy being the outlier. You like to think that you are right and everybody else is wrong.
I don't. I like consensus.

That confirms that you don't read.
I HAVE said that you reject the message and turn the messenger into a cult of personality.

What you guys fail to see about my beliefs is that even though I believe that Jesus exists in this realm, I am unafraid to question Him and even disobey at times.
Why would you be "afraid to question Him" when you've made Him up out of whole cloth? You've been very careful to make Him up with no requirements that you don't like.

There are also many countries that we all would call socialist that are failing miserably.
A I have mentioned before, the US spent billions upon billions of dollars for decades upon decades to MAKE socialism fail, so it wasn't exactly an even playing field.
Phat writes:
Venezuela is one example. I'd have to do my homework to find more, though im sure I could come up with a list.
And you could do your homework to find out WHY those governments failed. You may find that it is not always because socialism is a bod thing.

A lot depends on the attitude and mindset of the people who live there.
And on the mindset of the people who try to destroy them.
You COULD look at the successes instead of believing every word your right-wing handlers feed you.

Would you accept what you got?
Of course I would. I have. I do. I have never had a federal government that I voted for. I didn't vote for my provincial government. I didn't vote for my civic government.
I accept what democracy gives me.
I have said before that one of the strengths of a mature democracy is that even if we lose the election, we don't go up in the hills with our rifles and start a revolution. We wait for the next election and try to VOTE the bad guys out.
So stop your stupid bluster about what you will never accept. Accepting is the right thing to do. Even your banana republic should understand that.

Socialism that altruistically and blissfully ignorantly "raises all boats" is or will become a globalist socialist agenda.
Shut up about the "globalist socialist agenda". There is no "globalist socialist agenda".
We don't follow any "global agenda". We occasionally borrow good ideas from other nations but we have our own problems and there is no possible "global agenda" that can solve them.

I even asked ringo point blank in an earlier thread the following questions:
Why would you repeat your questions and my answers that make you look stupid?
And why can't you refute my answers?

On principle, I object to capital punishment. But when some people die, like Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Trump, etc., I don't shed any tears.
