Judge Jeanine Pirro: Think socialism can never happen here? Just look at the left and the last 10 days

By Judge Jeanine Pirro | Fox News

We are reaching a turning point that will forever determine our future -- how we live our lives and how our children will live theirs.  The gap between the ever-widening left and right has never been wider, and yet amazingly it continues to widen.

Every time we turn on a TV, open a laptop or listen to the radio, another bizarre, offbeat, outlandish idea brings us closer to socialism and the destruction of capitalism. And it is being pushed by the left.

So you have a decision to make. Do you want to live in a country where no matter how hard you work, no matter what you do or how much you succeed, you simply won't improve your lot?

Does Ms. Pirro even remotely realize how many people already live in that country here in America?

Socialism wouldn't look so appealing if all people actually had a chance to succeed. Most don't. Of course, socialism won't fix the problems that keep success out of reach for so many, either.

Not so, @jmyrlefuller.  There are all sorts of opportunities for success still.  Maybe not where you live, but that's up to you.

Right about that. If JMyrle needs a good job with steady income that will last him a lifetime, I can tell him just where to go:
Check with Norfolk Southern about employment opportunities on the Southern Tier line...

Where the bleep has she been? The last 10 years? How about since The New Deal?
