I honestly don’t think the citizenry has any idea what we have become. Can you even imagine, our CIA director voting for a communist!

Wake up America!

That actually is pretty disturbing to me I must admit.

Did you know that former CIA Director, John Brennan admitted voting for Gus Hall, the communist party candidate in the 1976 Presidential election?

Didn't know that.

Oh, I believe you and read that article myself.

There's been alot of questionable behavior from some pretty prominent people. Alot of people still haven't forgiven Jane Fonda for Vietnam.

That's very disturbing to me especially since he did during the cold war. To me that should be disqualifying. With that said, you make it sound like communism is taking over America. The communist party in the USA (I was kind of surprised it still exists) has like 5 thousand members. It's not like they are growing and expanding across the country. Most of my Democratic friends and family are moderates with a few liberals sprinkled in. None of them are on the communist party mailing list.

I think we all recognize just how out of control our elected officials have become, but fear holding them accountable will lead to the other side having complete control. Better to have X then the other side having a majority.

I say we throw them all out, establish term limits, and enforce the constitution as intended by our founders.

The communist party never really took but there is a group that split off from them that did. Yep, you guessed it, the Progressives moved over to the Democratic socialist party and are currently expanding within the Democratic Party.

Amen to that.

I know we disagree but again, a communist is not necessarily anti-American, rather opposed to our system of government. Much like Bernie Sanders, they just want to have a different system.

Spot on , communist hate Capitalism.

That is spot on also. The reason President Trump won the Dems left blue collar workers behind for gang members, open boarders, and many other far left Policy's.

 

[bobbie jo]

Amen to that.

Agree

Lou that is who I was talking about I did not spell his name correctly. I like to say this I know we disagree on policy a lot but I appreciate you and normsmith debating and standing up for your political views without hitting the ignore button lol.

Bernie came close and is a communist. Hillary and President Obama are socialist that support globalization .

That and the fact that Hillary was so flawed that the electorate would overlook Trump's shortcomings. How can she get beat by Trump in Wisconsin, who hadn't voted red since George H.W. Bush or lose Pennsylvania?

Agreed on term limits. It'll never happen but we need it. I agree with the Donald on this. Too bad Congress will obviously never agree to it.

Me too. Where else could you go where you have the power to raise the retirement age for millions of people to age 70 but but you yourself retire at age 48.

Yes. It’s like asking the patrons at the bar to cut themselves off.

I appreciate the debate as well. I enjoy the debate and trying to understand the other side. With that said globalization and socialism are two totally different things. Most republicans understand that we live in a global economy and we need to be a part of it. The only people that support isolationism are the extreme right. It doesn't work and we've learned that lesson in history already.

No Doubt we we got to work with the world but we got to put America first doing that. The trade is way out of balance and I'm a true believer that are politicians have been lobbied by foreign investors that do not have American interests. I do not think any political party should be able to receive money from any foreign business.
