Socialists are Nothing More Than Parasites
2019-02-21
[Victory Girls] President Trump’s State of the Union address, as well as his speech at Florida International University today, hit back hard against the sludge-covered wave of socialist thought that has infested parts of our country. It was a big, glorious middle finger to the likes of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib ‐ a bold statement of defiance informing these socialists that their dream of a Marxist plague will not happen.
"And to those who would try to impose socialism on the United States, we again deliver a very simple message: America will never be a socialist country," Trump said toward the end of his speech in Miami on Monday.

This is exactly the type of rebellion we need in the US today, as a cancerous scourge of socialism tries to attach itself like so many pubic lice to the life source of our nation. Those unwilling to put in the effort to support themselves and to succeed are voting for politicians who will steal from their neighbors at the point of a government gun, while at the same time working to disarm those from whom they steal to ensure a "peaceful" transfer of wealth.

I’m thrilled that Donald Trump is standing up to these parasites, and brazenly telling them their dream is not going to happen, because the wholesale condemnation of those who have achieved economic success in this country is worrisome.

Men and women who have studied, worked, taken risks, and bled to achieve what only a few could are being condemned as parasites and told they shouldn’t exist.

#4  There was the old song about "...Owing my soul to the company store."
Under Socialism the Government IS the Company and everyone is a sharecropper, a modern day serf.

#3  I read somewhere that flee-ridden dogs would take a stick in their mouth and slowly wade into water, giving the flees a chance to migrate to the stick. Then eventually the dog would let the stick, and flees go, and emerge from the water.

I don't know if that story is true but replace dog with USA, Stick with California, and Flees with Socialists and you have modern America.

#2  Not the only parasites though.

America needs to shed all rent-seekers, not just the more obvious marxists.

#1  And (evolutionary) primitive ones - a well adapted parasite doesn't kill its host.
