Geee Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Heritage Foundation: The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation released its first “Annual Report on U.S. Attitudes Towards Socialism” Monday. The survey showed a distinct generation gap regarding beliefs about socialism and communism between older and younger Americans. For example, 80 percent of baby boomers and 91 percent of elderly Americans believe that communism was and still is a problem in the world today, while just 55 percent of millennials say the same. Just 37 percent of millennials had a “very unfavorable” view of communism, compared to 57 percent of Americans overall. Close to half (45 percent) of Americans aged 16 to 20 said they would vote for a socialist, and 21 percent would vote for a communist. When asked their opinion of capitalism, 64 percent of Americans over the age of 65 said they viewed it favorably, compared to just 42 percent of millennials.

Geee Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Millennial Cluelessness About Communism’s Massacres Demonstrates the Need for School Choice American education is failing thousands of students every year. But this crisis is not just about poor scores in math and reading. It is a deeper failure, leaving entire generations of Americans without the most basic knowledge of the country’s past and its civic institutions. As The Daily Signal reported, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation’s first “Annual Report on U.S. Attitudes Towards Socialism” showed that just 42 percent of millennials view capitalism favorably compared to 64 percent of Americans over 65. Perhaps more disturbingly, a third of millennials believe that more people were killed under former President George W. Bush than under notorious Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, and just 37 percent of millennials had a “very unfavorable” view of communism. http://dailysignal.com/2016/10/18/millennial-cluelessness-about-communisms-massacres-demonstrates-the-need-for-school-choice/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Goodbye, George By Clyde Wilson on Oct 19, 2016 An American president can wreck his country and blow up the world, but he cannot recreate either of them.—Chilton Williamson A recent book on the George W. Bush presidency is called A Tragic Legacy. But tragedy suggests the fall of something high and noble. There never has been anything high and noble about Bush. His career began as low comedy and ends as bloody farce. How many killings does it take to make a war criminal? Is ignorance and incompetence a defense? Nothing is so easy and gratifying as spending other people’s money—especially if you are praised for your good works—and get a cut yourself. This is the long-established cynical practice of Congress. But with Bush one has the sense that it is something else. In his own universe, which he mistakes for the world, he has no experience with the consequences of over-spending and debt. Consequences of any kind have little reality for him. Moral responsibility is not part of his universe. http://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/blog/goodbye-george/ I’m shocked you would talk like a S***Head democrat !
