There is no political or economic alliance in existence that is fully compatible with my analysis and evaluation of world history and current events. I think I have said this before, but redistribution of wealth does not work unless everyone works (still then it has kinks). Similar to the way capitalism does not work unless its inherent greed is curtailed. That is why there has been so much regulation of the market up to today (Trustbusters, minimum wage, etc)…because it doesn’t work (not for the majority). My main problem with Marxism is that it is just a theory, and it is a violent one at that. There has to be a middle ground. We just have not identified it. This is why I cannot say that I believe in either. I believe private property and the market can be good, but only if it serves the public good. Once corporations are allowed to wreak havoc upon the poor and weak we have gone too far. As far as Marxism, for it to work there cannot be an elite class as there was in Russia and many other places. We need a system based on developing communities so that everyone can have access to wealth; but not one like Marxism that believes in displacing and robbing the wealthy by declaring them the enemy. Or, that murders people and violates the natural rights of mankind. The system must be based on education and open dialogue so that people can see for themselves and enact change.

I guess you could say I am a humanitarian, first and foremost. I believe in democracy. As far as economics goes…. we need to explore new uncharted waters. Can you really support Capitalism wholeheartedly knowing all of the horrible things it has brought in history? It is a system based on the accumulation of wealth. Is that the best economic theory humanity has to offer? Therefore, it operates on a first come first serve basis: The earlier you get in, the more you can accumulate. However, if you are born at the bottom your chances are dismal. We need a system based on developing communities so that everyone can have access to wealth.

My political views can be summed up this way: If a particular ideology or policy brings about harm to communities, places people in distress, or in any way brings about a destructive effect, it is wrong. I will support any idea as long as it brings forth growth and development for all. And that IS possible. We just have to keep fine-tuning and remain open to ideas. Don’t you agree that we should stop exporting American jobs? Shouldn’t our people have full access to any employment we can produce? The problem is that since our major corporations are only concerned with wealth, they seek slave-wage labor. How do you dispel these truths?

As far as sports…. Let us go to the replay. Let us micro-analyze it (history), and if the play is visible from all angles, then I’m sure we can agree on the decision.

Whoah…. what does that mean. I will say, it may be a little pride, but not in the way you think. It is not prejudice, because I do read, listen and try to comprehend what you and anybody is trying to get across. I don’t automatically think that everything you say is crap.

Its a lot of the old arguments, and those I’ve heard time and again, so those have already been discredited (in my opinion). So, I do dismiss those as soon as I hear them. Only because I have heard them before and have already made up my mind on those. That’s where the “prejudice” comes in. For example, I am extremely prejudiced against redistribution of wealth (not saying that you are proposing that, just an example of my bias), therefore any arguments for the benefits of it I immediately dismiss and yes, try to discredit.

The PRIDE comes in the notion that I am confident and secure and even devout in my beliefs and what I have learned. As you are. You know what you have read or heard and vetted. So you, and I, will not let anything or any argument dispel what you already know.

Is that pride? IDK.

Do you watch baseball or football? Its funny, my brother is a super die-hard JETS fan and although I like the Jets and root for them, I watch them objectively. When there is a questionable call, like did the guy make the first down, or did he fumble or was he down, he will ALWAYS argue that his team should get the call. BUT, that is what HE sees and BELIEVES! He sees it that way, he is not lying and just trying to make a case for it, he believes that is what he saw. I am like, “dude, he didn’t make it.” but there is no convincing him.

My point is, You and I pretty much are on the same page as to how things occurred, (we saw the same thing) we are just diametrically opposed as to why they happened or what the solution is.

I believe wholeheartedly in capitalism. I BELIEVE the solution will naturally come out of it. I do not believe that forcing people (legislating) to do things one way ever works.

pssssst… up above, that’s me being crystal clear once again about where I stand. I am a Capitalist, unabashedly. If you are not, then what are you?

2. YOU ARE NOT CLEAR, well, you were finally a little clearer this time, but you always claim what you ARE NOT, but it is also a distortion because you claim to NOT be a communist/socialist, but every idea you put forth comes from the book of Marx!!! You never really claim a philosophy or belief that we can reference. Duh, you are for truth, justice and the American way….. (which brings me to ..)

3. How many times, and how many uneducated people do I have to correct!?!? THIS IS NOT, NOT, NOT a democracy!!! Our form of government in the United States is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, “…and to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands, one nation, UNDER GOD….” We elect our leaders democratically, but we are not a democracy. If it were a true democracy every election would be strife with referendums with the people voting on every single issue out there, but alas, they are not. Our leaders make those decisions for us which make elections that much more important.

4. Comment on the MAO thing. If you make sense on SEVERAL topics, maybe you can win over some believers. You are 0-4 so far.

About distortion…. You keep citing your conspiracy theory on how you are being censored, LOL, that makes me laugh. I WANT people to read how “out there” you are. It only strengthens my position…. but unfortunately, I must apologize, I cannot speak for Junior, but I have been dealing with some personal issues in my life and have neglected the website. That is why your comments were not read, and or approved for several days.

And we love America because it does stand for Capitalism! That is what makes us great. I know commies like yourself wish it to stand for Mao & Che, but that is who Junior and I are trying to prevent from taking this country off the rails.

1. you need to explain. I don’t think anyone knows what your talking about.

2. Regarding your comment being deleted:
your comments aren’t being removed, you just don’t see them right away because they need to be approved by the admins of this blog. As you can see, they are now visible.

3. Do I know you?
