    Many are compelled to say "That wasn't real socialism".

    They know the true definition of socialism, because they say so, and it will work next time, because they say so.

    It has a proven track record of nothing but failure but yet they're going to sit here and tell us that wasn't real socialism

    Also @Pixie I personally know some affluent blacks, and believe it or not they went out and worked for a living and are self-made under a capitalist system and they're not all drug dealers as you said they have to be or at least implied that that was the way that blacks can get money.

    You should give black people more credit than that

    You actually stated that they have no other way to make money and people wonder why some folks call some Democrats racist .

    Well it is a fact that a lot of Democrats pretend that black people can't handle the simple task of obtaining an ID so I guess they also don't think that they hold jobs or have driver's licenses.


    They really don't think very highly of the abilities of black people to function in the world

    I'll give your three worded opinion and a lack of rebuttal all the weighty and due consideration it's so richly deserves as I always do.

    Or you could try to actually advance an argument as to why I'm wrong but I'm not holding my breath

    OK, wait a second; why don't you list, with documentation, countries under socialism (not dictatorships posing as socialist) where people resort to eating zoo animals and pets.

    I'm more interested in a real discussion of "socialism" v "capitalism" rather than made up, biased fantasies you've dreamed up as you while away the evening in your easy chair.

    The fact is the world history of both systems, according to conservatives is countries labeled socialist by conservatives are actually totalitarian dictatorships, such as Donald Judas tRump has in mind for "These United States".

    Yep. Socialism is evil. It’s pure government control. They tax the people so highly that you have and own nothing. You have a roof over your head, a television, and meals. That’s it.

    Oh so we need to throw in that little qualifier do we?

    Actually when I made my post you know where I was at? Not wiling away the evening in my easy chair....

    I was at work will I be going again soon tonight you know a job where you take yourself to earn your own damn money, instead of sitting in your chair complaining about rich people and waiting for the government to hand you money.

    Losers do. Losers who know they fail at life and want to see everyone else drug down at their level.

    So a dictatorship can easily masquerade as a socialist system?


    Gee I wonder why....

    Well in fairness my job does involve a little bit of downtime.

    Not a whole lot happens between midnight and 4:30 a.m. at a small town gas station.

    Speaking of that here's another aspect of capitalist systems to consider.... My job is all good and well for the time being but I aspire to a little bit more than that.

    So my plan in the near future is to begin the process of obtaining my CDL license so I can drive a truck.

    There we go I want more money, I do what it takes to get a better job.

    And then when my time comes I can watch my cats too! Instead of wonder which one I might eat first. Lol

    Fine, I'll try again, the issue with voter ID is solely the fact that the only reason cons want it is so they can make it as hard as possible to get to keep blacks from voting.

    I'm retired but, when I worked it was kinda expected I'd work not post on a message board; capitalism at it's finest. Personally, when I want a new pickup, I check with my wife and then go buy the SOB. But that's just me; a 70 year, for a few more weeks, old AmeriCAN, that got his first job at 8, owned my own company and employed many people over the years, enjoyed watching their family's grow up and the Company parties. Never took a dime from the Government, heck I started paying my Parents rent and buying my own clothes when I was 14. Of course, without me know it, they put that money in the bank for my college. Anyway we were all just a bunch of "lefties", though people referred to us a Democrats back then, that didn't know **** about capitalism. :roll:

    Then why bark off about the VA? The VA is trash and this is confirmed by millions of vets out there. Veteran suicide is at an all-time high.

    Oh horse scat. When you see a black person driving a car down the road do you automatically assume they're driving illegally with no license?

    Do you think black people don't do a multitude of everyday task requiring them to have an ID in life?

    You don't really give black people a whole lot of credit do you.

    The real reason Democrats do not want people to have ID to vote as they want their millions of illegal immigrants to vote Democrat.

    Of course the only way they can make this argument is to try to say that black people are inferior and don't have the ability to get an ID like everyone else.

    That's an incredibly racist thing to say if I were a black Democrat I think I'd be a little bit offended and rethink what party I'm aligned with.

    Do you also believe the only way poor blacks can make money is to sell drugs?

    According to Democrats it's particularly challenging for them to scrape together what $30? Their birth certificate their social security and something with their name in it from the mail.

    And my goodness it must be real difficult for one of them thar black folks to mosey down there and find the DMV all by dey self!

    They must also think none of them actually have jobs.

    At least we know that's what pixie thinks. She says the only way poor black folks can get money is to sell dope.

    You didn't try nothing you just dodged all my questions.

    That's actually pretty smart with the position you're trying to advance.
