It's at least theoretically possible that the "universe" of ballots was expanded, once the Dems knew they needed more votes.<br /><br />But my point was more about the narrative. It's important who won, by the book, and it's important who people THINK won. Right now Biden gets both prizes. Had Trump won convincingly on election night, there would have been a lot more ambiguity.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-40143770539448793222020-11-13T15:31:21.560-05:002020-11-13T15:31:21.560-05:00Wait a second...

To some extent I think they've gotten a bad rep. From what I can tell their effects were highly varied, and often arguably positive or surprisingly short-lived.

It's all yours! Feel free to turn out the lights when you change channels. :)<br /><br />Linda, I've been keeping an eye on Newsmax and OAN lately. Thanks. I like them, but it's hard to replace Fox in its entirety. Oh well. I'd rather be on the right side of history, so to speak, and Fox just isn't anymore. They may be regretting their apostasy, however!<br /><br />Boy, Ray, stop pulling punches, huh? You speak with such subtlety -- no one can understand what you're getting at. ;)<br /><br />Linda, you can bet that anything that starts with "A People's" or "The People's" is going to a dark place. Steer clear!<br /><br />Rod, the problem with all textbook definitions of socialism, including the one in my textbook, is that they are hopelessly vague. I would point out to you, Rod, that you DO believe in an economy "regulated by the community as a whole". Lefties want to increase government regulation, no? Ergo, you're a socialist. I believe in minimal government regulation too. Ergo, I'm a socialist. Ray once mailed a letter (using the postal service). Ergo, he's a socialist. It's all a silly game, if you ask me. Bottom line: do you want a government that's bigger or smaller? We all know where you stand.<br /><br />Rod has a point that we already have elements of socialism in America -- way too many of them! Let's chop government down to size, I say. Federalism -- woo hoo!<br /><br />Ray makes a good point that socialist/communist regimes, which rule in the name of the people, have almost always treated the people like crap. America, which believes in private property and competition, has given people more prosperity and freedom than anywhere. The program of the Left is to make America less America-like. Why would we want to do that? And why wouldn't the people who DO want to do that just move to Canada and spare us their utopian blathering?<br /><br />Do you really have a blog, Rod? If so, congrats!<br /><br />Let me go on record by saying that I DO NOT support the suicide (or murder) of any of the people who post on this blog. I need all the page views I can get! In fact, if some of those dead voters in Philadelphia would start accessing the blog, I wouldn't mind a bit.<br /><br />Jack, you're right -- Fox may see the light. Editorial changes are always possible. I leave the door open for them.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-87787019564348759832020-11-11T10:13:53.273-05:002020-11-11T10:13:53.273-05:00Hi Linda.

I did point out that our country presently has (and has for over 50 years) in place programs that are based on socialist principles. My support for those programs is not based on any support for socialism but arises out of my Catholic faith to protect the neediest in our society. <br /><br />As I have said, I advocate responsible capitalism, not socialism.Rod Carvethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603160183337170296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-28719031336733566182020-11-11T08:50:08.861-05:002020-11-11T08:50:08.861-05:00Gee, "Listen Linda Listen" is the meme, ...Gee, "Listen Linda Listen" is the meme, lol. I have stated, Ray and will continue to state I will never vote for anyone who is pro abortion (so now you know where I stand). I find it awfully funny folks who want to preach to me about socialism or communism indeed are often confused about this subject. Like I told a fellow co worker yesterday when him and another guy were telling me I couldn't define socialism/communism, "Look, so on Thursday (payday) I will fully expect my 50% cut of your pay." They both looked at me and I said, "I'm done now. Thank you. Just proved my point. Socialism is a redistribution of wealth. That is it in a nutshell. You are NOT entitled to my hard earned money, period."<br /><br />So, Rod teaches in Maryland. I see. Thank you. Indeed, Ray, he contradicted himself in his lecture. ANYWAYS, No worries. I AM NOT ATTACKING ROD, let's just have an honest talk about the word socialism and communism. Both are founded on collective cooperation. Only Communism is controlled by the state and Socialism is controlled equally allocated by a democratically controlled government. Again, I demand you give me your pay or else.<br /><br />Waving to Jack, smiles.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-48206871071180468582020-11-10T16:28:41.473-05:002020-11-10T16:28:41.473-05:00Dr. Waddy from Jack: You have argued well and your...Dr. Waddy from Jack: You have argued well and your castigation of Fox causes me much concern. Fox and Rush have given us the broadcast voice of which we were bereft until they came along. We are probably going to lose Rush, one of the very most consequential political figures of the last thirty two years, soon. We need Fox! Perhaps they will realize their election error and take measures to preserve their well won status as the MSM defying daily voice of the real America.

Chambers lived in Maryland, and was a card carrying Communist for years, until he realized what bullshit he had been sucked into, the same bullshit Rod has been sucked into. <br /><br /> Rod says he has never advocated Socialism or Communism, and then proceeds to lecture LINDA on the meaning and benefits of it by using examples of Medicare and Social Security as the products of that ideology. He contradicts himself, but is so eaten up with bullshit, that he cannot even tell the difference between what he preaches to others.

After that, he can start a Urine Therapy business, later branching out into a Bottled Fart Co-op, where he farts in bottles, they are hermetically sealed, and then people can buy and sniff them later, and get an idea of what Socialism smells like.

I always want to ask them if they were certified assholes when they were born or did they go to a special school to become assholes. But then I already have my answer, because almost all colleges and universities (with a few exceptions) have been producing brain washed Leftists for decades now. Rod is a perfect example of that. <br /><br />Sorry for the crude talk. If you are interested, the one hard Left History professor who poisoned and indoctrinated generations of college student was the late Howard Zinn with his textbook "A People's History of The United States". He taught untold numbers of young people then and now to hate this country. A partial cure for his toxic Marxist bullshit can be found at Regnery Publishing in "Debunking Howard Zinn....." His followers are still very much alive and continue to spread his ideological virus.

But, do understand that we are not a completely capitalist country. We have programs such as Social Security, and Medicare, and the VA that are all based on socialist principles. Our corporate welfare is a form of socialism. Progressive taxation is a form of socialism. <br /><br />We have a system that is pretty much identical to the social democracies of most of the countries in Europe, with the exception of having a strong public option for health care. As a result, we pay by far the most per capita for health care in the world with results that are not as good as most industrialized nations.<br /><br />So, Linda, before talking about socialism, please know more about it.Rod Carvethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603160183337170296noreply@blogger.com
