Your first claim is not supported - essentially touting a narrative that you have heard somewhere but do not really know if it is true or not. Your second claim is correct - A congress dominated by Red - with a Red President on office - raised spending. This should surprise no one. Red and Big Deficits go hand in hand.
How did you reach your conclusion? providing for the common defense is not providing for the common Offense or general warfare.
There is nothing good about socialism Building infastructure is not socialism If libs want to say we cant have public roads unless we award a guranteed minimum income to every lazy welfare bum in the country then I support privitzing all the roads And bridges
Dont let you trump deranged syndrom totally consume you He is not a red and neither is the majority of congress
The common defense is just that Defense for everyone Welfare is an income redistribution scheme that benefits some at the expense of others
special pleading by glossing over the common defense. how are alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror; common defense items? Government is about income redistribution; Congress is delegated the Power to Tax for that purpose.
Course cutting back on military spending, corporate subsidies and tax breaks for the rich, might also be a solution but conservatives would never agree to that. As for cutting imports from China, are you suggesting that the free market doesn't work and requires protection from its own domestic consumer demands?
Of course building infrastructure is done via socialism. How can you say "There is nothing good about Socialism" when you don't know what the word means ? Seriously. Wealth Redistribution = Socialism. Where do you think the money comes from to build roads, bridges and so on - pay police - pay the military. ? Santa ? Taxes = wealth redistribution = Socialism. The whole point of socialism is redistributing wealth for the "Collective" good.
Red controlled both houses of Congress for the last two budgets = were the majority in both houses. It is also a fact the President was Red. Don't let reality get in the way of your fantasy false narrative though ... carry on.
The common defense makes it a State security issue; muster the militia until we have no security problems in our free States.
This happens on both the Left and the Right - unfortunately. That it happens so often is sad sad commentary on the human condition. We are raising a generation of ignorant brainwashed sheep. 12 years of school and we manage not to teach the basics of Philosophy - Logic, Logical Fallacy, what constitutes a valid argument, Critical Thinking. We teach kids to Obey and Follow. We teach then "what to think" not how to think. I have had many discussions with Teachers on this topic. Many - being on the front lines - are more disgusted than I am. They are highly restricted. Many others however typify what one Teacher said to me - "Well - we don't want kids arguing with us" ... not joking.
The following are recent posts to me from one a Left wing poster. Note that the poster does not even state what it is that he is raging about - making no attempt to address my comments - just ad hom and name calling. By the reaction you would think I was saying bad things about his mother or some such thing. So what was this Crazy "Bovine Excrement" ? My claim was that Mueller was given special powers - powers which allow his office to violate civil liberties.
You made the claim "Only the right wing does not get it" ... in reference to appealing to ignorance and/or disingenuous denial - to the point of claiming water is not wet. The left wing poster that I quoted in my previous post refutes this claim. The left will engage in fallacious nonsense as well.
simply complaining about ad hominems is not the same thing as appealing to willful blindness, which is a moral turpitude.
Appealing to willful blindness is exactly what the poster is doing. The poster is pretending not to understand - and is in full on denial of the simple fact that the Special Prosecutor is given special powers - including the ability to violate civil liberties in ways that are not normally allowed. This is on the level of denying that water is wet.
