 Mark Levin: ‘Republican Party Is Committed to Lite Socialism…They Want a Lot of Gov’t Intervention’
By Bruce Truax | January 14, 2020 | 10:11am EST
 

Just because you're a Republican doesn't mean you're not a socialist, nationally-syndicated conservative talk show host Mark Levin said in an interview on The Dan Bongino Show Saturday.

Warning against the far-left policies being pushed by politicians on both sides of the aisle, Levin told Host Dan Bongino that, while Democrats seek true socialism, some Republicans are beholden to a less severe form of it.

So, the only real difference between commiecrats and repugnantcans is how fast they will destroy the country. :pondering:

On the mark and well stated!
Those using conservative as interchangeable w/republican, reveal themselves as know-nothings.
Republicanism emerged as an anti-slavery movement around 1840, morphing into a party promoting the New England Merchant Class and later Corporate interests following our rapid post Civil War industrialization.
It's core positions included strong centralized government, agressive trade protectionism and
judicial activism; all of which were on full display during republican ascendancy from 1865 to 1932.
In essence, republicanism was and remains the errand boy for the "Fat Wallet Posse".
In contrast, Principled Conservatism represents attitudes, behaviors and sentiments about human nature derived from the Natural Law that has virtually nothing to do w/poitical malarkey.
It emerged among the Ancients, most prominently in "The Republic" of Plato.

Precisely.

We have a giant monument in Washington DC to the man who opened wide the doors through which every progressive since has walked. None other than "Honest" Abe Lincoln. He trampled on the Constitution and before it was over we no longer had the republic our founders had given us.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I can't wait for Plato to run, again.

That was going to happen regardless.  No need for a war or to alter our form of government to accomplish it.  And BTW:  Lincoln was probably the biggest racist on the planet at the time.

A perspective.
Slavery was introduced into the American Colonies by
Britain who controlled them for almost 200 years.
We abolished it some 75 years after gaining independence.

The very first actual slave owner in America was a black man by the name of Anthony Johnson.  You can look that up.

The despot's heel is on the shore
Maryland, my Maryland
His torches at thy temple door
Maryland, my Maryland
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore*
And be the battle queen of yore
Maryland, my Maryland

(First verse of the State Song, written in 1861 by James Ryder Randall)

*Refers to the Pratt Street Riots, the first KIAs of the War, when the Armies of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania invaded the State. Needless to say, no Federal intervention to stop the invasion was forthcoming.

Not to re-fight the war, but prior to it, the invasion of one sovereign State by another was strictly forbidden, and one of the reasons to have a Federal Army, to prevent such.

The war was a turning point, when we ceased to be a Federal Republic, and much of the Constitution was discarded by those who would impose their will on the rest by force, through the invasion, occupation, and destruction of their homes.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
