Don't feed the Commie

[Bro. Curtis]

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
(I'd say you support this due to your silence on the EPA's land grabs.)

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
(You constantly rail against "the rich" and want income redistributed)

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
(Tell is how you feel about this one)

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
(You probably celebrated when Rush Limbaugh was refused ownership of an NFL team, didn't you ?)

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
(You would call this the Federal Reserve, and I have seen no indication the fraud & waste in that area bother you, at all.)

6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
(You definitely support this, with your constant railing and demanding that Limbaugh and his ilk be regulated)

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
(Yup. This is one you love)

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
(Not sure about this one. I'm thinking you probably don't support this one.)

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
(Tell us how you feel about this one)

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
(Already demonstrated this one.)

Are you going to tell me those aren't the "tenets" ? Am I going to be adding to the Second commie thread ?

:laugh::laugh:

They're also called "planks", and "pillars".

Well glory-be, you finally got to some.

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
(I'd say you support this due to your silence on the EPA's land grabs.

You can say all you want. But I do not support the abolition of private property. Your 'conservative' Supreme Court went far that direction with their decision in the Kelo v. City of New London decision. Did you support their decision. I thought it a terrible decision.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
(You constantly rail against "the rich" and want income redistributed)

I support a flat tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
(Tell is how you feel about this one)

I do not support this horrid idea.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
(You probably celebrated when Rush Limbaugh was refused ownership of an NFL team, didn't you ?)

I do not support the confiscation of property.

Have no opinion on Rush. Could care less who owns an NFL team.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
(You would call this the Federal Reserve, and I have seen no indication the fraud & waste in that area bother you, at all.)

Show me an alternative method. Actually I am not sure that all credit is in the hands of the state.

6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
(You definitely support this, with your constant railing and demanding that Limbaugh and his ilk be regulated)

What you are speaking of in your sentence is not centralization. Centralization would be where the government ran all media outlets as was done in Russia. I am against that type of centralization.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
(Yup. This is one you love)

Nope, I would never support the centralization of industry. History shows that enforced centralized planning for agriculture or industry leads to very bad things. I would never support such an idea.

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

The development of collective farms lead to starvation. Was a stupid idea. One I would never support.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
(Tell us how you feel about this one)

Again, collectivization is a very bad idea ... would not support such an idea.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.

I am for the education of children.

I am against child labor.

Combining of education and industrial production, if I understand this correctly, would not be something I would support.

I do think vocational education schools are good. I have seen good come from them, i.e. a brick layer who did beautiful work for me and recently an electrician who did very good work for me were both educated in their skills at a vocational high school.

Now you can apologize for calling me a Commie ... as can Aaron. [I will not hold my breath however.]

So, is centralizing power over public schools a tenet of communism, or not ? You've been saying it isn't.

I don't think so. Not in the list of tenets I have found. I am sure they support this idea. But for the sake of discussion let's say it is a tenet. If so it is one I do not support as explained below.

I am not in favor of the federal government having total control over schools.

State government have a lot of control, but not total considering we have local school boards and each county has control over much that goes on in public education.

I feel the current system is far better than federal government control. So, even if you insist this is a tenet of Communism, then I would oppose the total centralization of education.

How would you like to see public education administered?

So, now you can apologize.

Do you support the Supreme Court decision on eminent domain?

You know crabby has his own way of defining things. Much like Clinton "it all depends on what is is."


Just because he says he doesn't support something does not mean he actually does not support it. There is no telling how he defines the word "support".

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Funny how he wants an apology. We've shown he supports and loves communism more than he has shown we are racists that hate the poor.

Now you are prevaricating. I have just answered showing I do not support the tenets you listed and now you are dishonest. You should be ashamed.

I knew you would pipe in with clip-trap. As a minister you should be ashamed of being so dishonest.

I showed how you DO support most of them.

Here we are at my original challenge, again. Why do you whine about being called a commie when you have called so many people here so many names ? Do you want different rules for yourself than the rest of us ?

I have never posted any reply supporting Communism. Your post have shown that you prefer profits and politics over helping people.
