Talking to a Swede about politics, let alone meritocracy.

There is no point, really. They're secular as can be and so far left that it ain't funny. In fact, their country is put on the pedestal by the American Left. That's one sign that tells you what you're dealing with.

At least she's cute.

On the bright side she can say she was on national television and has "student organizer" on her resume for One Million March. She can also say to her grandkids, if she even decides to have kids, that during her college years she was part of an "exciting" time where she fought for "equality" and "fairness."

 Here's a gem of a comment -

"Fuck you Neil Cavuto - and fuck all you idiots who don't get it - it's simple - the system is rigged and we're sick of it."

I suppose the person who made this comment is under serious educational debt.

And another -

Person A: "Fox news propaganda at it's finest! They are really good at misleading their base."
Person B:  "Liberalism at its dumbest."
Person A: "Its not because liberalism is too nuanced for you to understand that makes it dumb. But I see  where your coming from."

You heard it here, liberalism is too nuanced for troglodytes. 

Another poster said that since he couldn't find information on One Million March and on Keely Mullen, the students, that the movement and "Keely" was all "fake." He said that Fox News (not Fox Business News) was trying to intentionally paint those who dedicated their lives advocating for free education, higher minimum wages and free health care in a bad light. That's a lot of effort if it were even slightly true. He also said that Fox News had a past on making fake stories up. 

#Lunacy

The oxygen in safe spaces has caused you to go full-retard. Students across the nation have marched in support of Mizzou's and Yale's racial "crisis" while attaching movements like "free tuition."

Even though I'm irritated by the arrogance that resides in the hearts of all those that participated, I can't but admire their cleverness to bandwagon the current racial tension.

#MillionStudentMarch will be a day of local actions all across the country to show support for tuition-free public college, a cancellation of all student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for all campus workers. Each action will be a march followed by a rally.

Never go full-retard.

Someone said this about #MillionStudentMarch, "You see why now Hillary is going to win…… its the entitlement generation that is ruining America and their ranks continue to grow."

This is a huge gain for HRC and Bernie Sander if they were struggling to find traction. Every thing the movement wants Clinton and Sanders promise. Let's list 'em: Free tuition ("Hey, Europe does it, why not the US?"). No student debt ("Capitalism just doesn't work!"). Rise of the minimum wage ("It's inhumane to pay so low!"). 

There's one demographic that the GOP will never win over: The college students. It's not because the student know any better or see what the GOP really is, it's just that The Left have taken over college campuses. The college campus is their church; the professors & administrators are their priests. Obama is the pope that will be "replaced" in November of next year. Who will be the next pope for The Left, Clinton or Sanders?

I will call it before it even happens - I don't believe the GOP will win the 2016 POTUS race. The momentum is too strong for the DNC and The Left - culturally. I don't think it'll be a blowout, though. I have Hilary beating out Sanders for the DNC nomination and later defeating whoever the GOP nominee is.That's three terms of Democratic power in office. I know the Reagan Administration and Bush H.W. Administration counted three for the Republicans, but that seems like it really had no stronghold on the nation. The Left took over academia, entertainment and journalism. They now control the courts. This POTUS race will be defining in that it will dictate how the economy in the US is reformed, the further irrelevancy of how religion plays into the lives of the country's citizens, and how the GOP will further slip down the path of irrelevancy due their inability to actually accomplish something when they do win elections. 

Lights out, America. And shame on you conservatives over 35 for failing to fight. Shame on you.
 

"It's those rich 1%ers, man."

I went to the local food market to get cheese for the pizza I was making for dinner. As I walked out of the market there were a couple of employees being lightly chastised by their boss for not putting the carts away fast enough. A man ahead of me over heard the total conversation. As he  loaded his truck with his bought items, I caught his eye and he told me what had happened; I told him I was in a similar position when I worked at a zoo. Then the conversation became interesting. It went something like this.

"I make neon lights with my hands. When I go home I still work because you need to get ahead of the game in this design business," he said. "I had a coworker get yelled at because he wasn't doing his work. Man, the boss is an old guy. Probably mid 70s. He's 'tight'." (By 'tight" I guess strict, old fashioned.)

"Oh really?" I said.

"Yea, you're a young guy. You know, it's those Republicans and Democrats that are screwing this country up. Especially those rich one percenters, white Republicans. It ain't the Jews ... It's ain't the blacks ... No, no. It's those rich one percenters."

God fucking dammit. Why me?

"If you read history, the rich are just fucking us over. The Rockefellers? Well they were the first millionaires this country had. They had the railroad business and then they started investing their money everywhere, buying stuff out. It's the same with these rich Republicans. They control the corporations."

"Hmm. Interesting." I position my body to exit the conversation -

"It's not just the corporations, it's also the media. Once you piece everything together it becomes clear. The rich buys the lobbyists and the lobbiyst buy out the senators. The lobbyists work for the rich. That's why Obama, though he can say this and that, won't accomplish much because he has no control over Congress. They're bought and sold. Ever heard of Bernie Sanders? Well Sanders went into the VA and fired the lazy guys who weren't giving out the benefits. I say vote for him. You gotta vote - that's the only way to change this country. Look him up."

I nod my head to acknowledge I heard him.

"The rich voted in that guy Reagan. All this anti-union and the economic crap started with him. He's the one who started deregulating all the businesses because it kept the rich rich."

I nod again.

"That Rauner sh*tbag ... He just invested tons of money into making this state a right-to-work-for-poor (right-to-work), that's my spin on it. He wants to kill unions. I'm in the union and make $40 an hour."

"Pretty good dough."

"Slavery ended here in this country, but it moved over seas."

"What do you mean?"

"The Republicans are moving business over seas for cheaper labor."

Other things were said that I can't remember. After he was done talking we said our good-byes.
