@suzianne saidOne does not love money. They may take heed that they have to earn what is necessary to live the life style they want, and mainly to provide for their kids, college, european vacations, the works. Suzianne, is that not what life is all about? Have you ever heard the phrase 'see the world,' etc? Do you object to that? It does take money to see the world, and to raise that family. I don't get where you are coming from. As to loving other people, money is what is generally 'used' to help other people up, giving to charity etc.
One might be excused in thinking that you might be better served by loving people instead of money.
I sometimes dont get where you are coming from. Please tell us what, if any, limits should be placed on the process of earning (and investing?) money. Thanks.
@averagejoe1 saidMoney? Do you know the black person named LeBron James owns three houses in the LA area worth over $80 million? He did not buy in the Watts area or in Chicago or any black areas. He bought in a totally white area. Is he a black supremacists or a white supremacist, what is it? He has more money than 99.9% of our population. Dont you think thathe has enough money? If we go socialist, will The socialists fix that situation?? Suzanne, should this be allowed? This is really a big money question for you to tackle.

@handyandy saidThat which would happen when he is overwhelmed by the radical left. Of course I assume he is too weak to stand alone for four years, as he is beaten down and taken over by Bernie who is a socialist. AOC is more socialist than is Bernie. So that is a big kettle of soup to which I am referring. So you think those people will not influence Joe Biden? Do you know they want to transform this country? He is a very weak man, he will not be able to withstand it, he is old , senile he is turning white in the face, he only has a short period to maintain a dignified status and then The transformation will begin. This 29-year-old girl named AOC will change the direction of America. Oh, did I mention Kamala? Jesus. Talk about a racist! Y’all have it, I’ll be able to skip it myself, as will my children. Yall truly have no idea.
"If we go socialist ..." Exactly what does that mean?
@suzianne saidI haven't read through the thread so I don't know if this was addressed, but that quote isn't correct.
This is simply the height of hypocrisy.
It's also a page out of Goebbel's playbook.
"Always accuse your opponents of that which you are guilty of yourself."
"The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing."

But your comparison to Nazis was still spot on.
@averagejoe1 saidYou still haven't told us what it means to "go socialist." Is this some kind of right-wing code?

@handyandy saidNot at all. No code. It is a form of government, look it up on internet. To implement it here would be to, in effect, transform America. I’d prefer to not transform America, but to leave it as it was created in 1776. Do you think we should transform America, Handy?

And do you really want to leave America as it was in 1776? Why?

@averagejoe1 saidWhy is it that when the liberals of humanity embrace the future, and yes all the potential problems and pitfalls that come with it, that they always get stuck with dragging conservatives kicking and screaming into the present ??

Hey !! If you really want to return conservatives to a horse and buggy society, go ahead.
Knock yourself out.
Just stop trying to set the rules for the dynamic members of humanity.
You can keep your static world views to yourselves.
@averagejoe1 saidDo you really want to open up this conversation in this direction?

@handyandy saidBecause, you know, blacks were property and women did not have a vote.

@averagejoe1 saidWhy don't you ask Hope Hicks if he'll harm you or your children?
Thankyou, a nice post. I must say, though, that the antics 'in the streets' which no liberal in these forums seem to denounce (?) gives me pause. You are asking a conservative, who stands in amazement, to be reasonable with your fair points made, when your 'side' is tearing up our country. Like, you want me to forget what the rioters are doing, which is becoming a way ...[text shortened]... veryone, ask a liberal if they agree with this, and prepare for the answer, which will not be 'yes'.
@earl-of-trumps saidYou also refuse to address what I actually said, preferring, instead, to reiterate what you said. Dishonest at best.
50 years of having a left leaning SJC and not ONCE did the repubs ever talk about
expanding the supreme court.
leftists fall behind ONCE and already they are threatening to expand the supreme court.
I don't stand corrected, I stand correct
Leftists have an unquenchable thirst for Supreme, Absolute Power.
@averagejoe1 saidSo now you double down on the lies, just like Trump.
You are right about the barn door, it opened up when the lab in China open it's door on Wednesday morning, or was it Thursday, That was it. From then on, with your extreme hindsight, you have deduced that everything after that Wednesday is Trump's fault. Quite a stretch, wouldn't you say. And you curiously dont mention how he 'did what he could' by closing travel int ...[text shortened]... ow every high-level opinion about war, about going after Bib Laden, etc. were all wrong. It's true.
@averagejoe1 saidNow this is a typical piece of hypocrisy from you.
Thanks, I dont get recognized very often. Another thing I learned, from a civics teacher, is that we have two choices in life.....to lead your life, or let someone else lead it, something like that. I'm thinking that the people here who choose to live under socialism have chosen the latter. Sad indeed. Some here may say I dont understand what socialism is, there are m ...[text shortened]... enough to think they will just......stop? Do rich people 'stop' after they have made enough money?
