Cinga Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Interesting tidbit.... too bad I missed this "amazing" event but I'm sure Gator can update us on anything this article missed: https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/netroots-nation-largest-progressive-conference-features-empty-seats-racialism-molotov-cocktail-ts/ Quote This year's conference just wrapped in New Orleans. Keynote addresses were delivered at Netroots Nation by Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Cynthia Nixon, and self-described democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. These speakers, and the conference’s legion of panelists, pushed an unrelenting new era of racially-focused activism and organizing.

IDBillzFan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 "Even some conservatives now view the ideology favorably." Damn right we do. We view it VERY favorably. In fact, we think EVERYONE on the left should talk about the need for the US to be turn to socialism. Dumbasses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaDexter Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Get real. If you equate the GOP with "conservative,." it has been 100% socialist since 1998. Heck, the GOP and just the GOP socialized senior drugs in 2004 in part by W lying about the estimated cost and threatening the actuary who did the cost to "shut up or else..." while the drug industry had Tom Delay and others passing out $19k checks on the floor to anyone who voted for it, especially billing Uncle Same RETAIL PRICE for EACH PILL.... https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/07/us/inquiry-confirms-top-medicare-official-threatened-actuary-over-cost-drug.html "An internal investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services confirms that the top Medicare official threatened to fire the program's chief actuary if he told Congress that drug benefits would probably cost much more than the White House acknowledged. A report on the investigation, issued Tuesday, says the administrator of Medicare, Thomas A. Scully, issued the threat to Richard S. Foster while lawmakers were considering huge changes in the program last year. As a result, Mr. Foster's cost estimate did not become known until after the legislation was enacted." If that was "conservative," then I'm a Trotskyite.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was done to her by the MSM, John McCain (what a f-ing wimp-loser), as well as the lawsuit happy "left" in Alaska (before they changed the law so it could not be done again to anyone) was a national disgrace. What do you think the Republicans and Conservative media are doing to AOC right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wasting your breath.................all they know is the Tina Fey Palin Governor Palin has accomplished more than anyone on this board, but (like a certain POTUS) she can spout off some pretty stupid quotes once in a while, and she has properly been called on it. However, the constant barrage by the media did its work and she is considered an imbecile, by those who read the least. AOC, in her short 15 minutes, has shown little to no capacity to accomplish anything worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but one was a VP candidate while the other is just some 27 year old who won a Democratic congressional primary. The Republican party paraded an attractive, young female first term governor of a small state who wasn't ready to be a Vice Presidential candidate and her lack of knowledge of foreign and domestic policy was rightfully exposed. The Democratic Party paraded a 27 year old attractive female primary winner for Congress and now she's being rightfully exposed.

While I recognize what I'm about to type may not be popular, or even acceptable, I believe it to be true: what you're watching happen to the little socialist bartender, on many levels, is in large part triggered by people on the right who were stunned with the abusive and disgusting way everyone on the left attacked Sarah Palin and her family. I'm not defending Palin, okay? Just being around John (Dorf on Golf) McCain ensured she never had a chance. What I'm saying is that she was destroyed by the media, with no help from McCain's inept team. By the time they all ran up to Washington to comb over her emails, it was over-the-top sickening. The right finally had enough, and they will now ravage any idiot leftist who says or does something stupid, whether it's Hillary falling down stairs, the socialist answering questions like South Carolina's Miss Teen USA contestant, or idiots trying to convince people they should suddenly care that Trump is a draft dodger. I hate how divisive the country is right now, but it was bound to happen once the left pissed off the right badly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they bankrupting her? Are they doctoring her interviews to make her seem to be something she is not? Are they going through her trash? Stating that her child is actually her daughter's child being passed off as Sarah's (while the said daughter was currently pregnant making that insinuation impossible)? I could go on and on... the second Sarah Palin was announced on the ticket people were on a plane to dig up any and all dirt on her and her family. And what they couldn't find, they manufactured. A smear campaign of the finest order. (Ironically, we made a trip to Alaska while this was going on and only heard (unsolicited) positives about her and what she was doing in the state on our tour buses, in restaurants, etc. Not one bad word!) One thing you are either unaware of, or are dismissing, is Sarah Palin was not liked by the Republican establishment. Probably her biggest mistakes were accepting the position of VP candidate on the GOP ticket and trusting John McCain. The second she did, she got it from both sides of the political aisle. Never try and clean up corruption within your party and then run for higher office. It is remembered, and "rewarded" accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palin took over at a time when oil and gas prices spiked way higher. She was able to parlay that into a tax rebate. The rest is a very bad story. She massively INCREASED spending. She actually left way more debt than she started... She is not a fiscal conservative. She is a typical post 1998 "Republican" who is too stupid to understand fiscal conservatism.

I think that pent up frustration by the right helped propel Trump to the head of the Republican ticket and I'm all for exposing AOC for her lack of knowledge if the Democrats want to parade her in front of cameras. 10 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: I actually like Billy Idol, but I do not get your reference.

"she has accomplished more than anyone on this board" It is a truth, unless of course, someone else on the board has reached that type of goal You, on the other hand cannot seem to grasp this.

LaDexter Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 In other words, stop posting about climate change, because some high ups may believe you are 100% correct.... right DC Tom... LOL!!!! Why does one Earth polar circle have 9 times the ice of the other? Many "Republicans" and MOST Dems want me in prison for ASKING THAT QUESTION.... which, when answered fully, both explains what does cause climate change on Earth and why Co2 has nothing to do with it...
