@BohemianBoo Before Trump came along, while Bush and Powell were preparing for an Invasion of Iraq and finally did, Hillary was ALL FOR IT and voted in favor of it. You know…WMDs.
And I don’t know your young views on Bernie Sanders but he got totally fucked by her and not in a good way. He avoids her for fear of BOHICA!

@soar2newhighs Hillary was a total war monger, but the Benghazi stuff was bullshit.
@BohemianBoo An American ambassador was killed in Benghazi as were a number of security personnel. it was an administration ( Obama) failure and she as Secretary of state fell on the sword for Obama and this debacle.
@BohemianBoo And got S & Gs, you know who she wrote her thesis on in college?

@soar2newhighs I feel like this is going to be a conspiracy theory. If you say a Marxist, I get to smack you.
@BohemianBoo you don’t know?
BohemianBoo · M
@soar2newhighs Oh wait, I know this one. Saul Alinsky, yes? Okay, I still get to smack you, because you probably think he was a Marxist.

@BohemianBoo I don’t know or care about your financial circumstances but when you get these let’s re distribute wealth, all nice and warm and fuzzy, one needs to see and understand they want to re distribute YOUR, not their wealth!
Obama was of the same mind set. A backer of OWS and re distribution of wealth. Where does he currently reside? Oh, I know…I’m a mansion, where? Martha’s Vineyard.
You’re young. Don’t be led down the primrose lane.
BTW…Hillary isn’t destitute is she? And along with that she is a hypocrite as when HUD proposed section 8 housing in Chappaqua NY, under the man, Juan Castro who WAS going to be her running mate, was proposed, she being the hypocrite she is , BALKED!
Juan Castro was dropped like a bad habit.

@soar2newhighs That was a nice insane rant, but Saul Alinsky still wasn't a Marxist.
Hillary, Obama, Biden, all of these centrist Democrats are much closer to the Right when it comes to economics. They're not as insanely corrupt as the Republicans, but they're still bad.

@BohemianBoo You’re easily duped. They espouse this bullshit but live in Mansions. They don’t give a fuck about anybody but themselves. One day you’ll wake up to that reality.
Look up corruption under Politics, you’ll see a shit load of Democrats!

@sunsporter1649 This guy bohemian boo is from his profile age, young. But many young people are duped ( thanks to our leftist educational system) and buy into this leftist, Marxist bullshit.

@soar2newhighs You don't know what Marxism is. You're just repeating talking-points from the media.

@BohemianBoo Here is the complete list from Alinsky.
"RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”
Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"

@BohemianBoo And you’re a knowledgeable person on the subject of Marxism? And what media are you referring to?
I don’t give a fuck if they’re called Marxist’s, re distributors, whores ( very appropriate for them) but if you young easily duped very ignorant of being shafted, wake up and see how your political idols are fucking you your future might be better.
In these terms: when a politician tells you how they’re behind you, and their dream of wealth redistribution is the goal, but live in mansions and are wealthy, you need to ask…who is re distributing THEIR wealth? Answer: NO ONE!!

@sunsporter1649 I see the hypocrisy of the wealth redistribution. Those who espouse their filth from mansions and they, being literally built on the “ re distributor’s wealth!” I got a problem with that.
