Can Government Protect You?

No. Not a chance. They even admit it. At least, some “in the trenches” do, while the “top politicians” confidently tell you they CAN protect you while the evidence proves they are LYING to you. The cops—who are your first line pf defense, are minutes, hours, even DAYS away can only “clean up the scene” after the crime has been committed. They can remove any bodies created by the crime, and maybe—MAYBE find the persons responsible, and charging them, convicting them, and imprisoning them. But that doesn’t protect you. It only gives you some measure of satisfaction that your loss is ameliorated. The cops cannot be everywhere at once. But you can, if you are allowed to own and use the tool for self defense, a gun. But the anti-gun fools will not hear of that.

WHATEVER THEY’RE BACKING: It doesn’t matter what kind of a gun was used in the latest mass shooting, or of NO GUN was used, the anti-gun politicians will come out, before the echoes of the gunfire has even receded, and say that whatever they are promoting will solve the problem. They just can’t, or WON’T understand that NONE of their anti-gun laws will stop a single shooter from killing people. Yes, maybe they can see that the shooter is punished, AFTER he has killed those people—sometimes. That’s if the shooter was not killed by the cops with THEIR guns. It seems that the only answer—sometimes--to a mass shooting is guns, in the hands of the cops. OR in the hand of someone already THERE.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE! Dumocrats have promised to continue to pursue what has been disproved, over and over and over again for more than two years, just as predicted. They will NEVER give up in their efforts to depose our legally-elected president. Jerry Nadler himself, after Mueller testified that he could find NO EVIDENCE that Trump colluded with the Russians, or anybody else, to get elected, and that no obstruction of justice was found, went on TV and LIED, saying he HAD found evidence of collusion, AND obstruction of justice. Dumocrats will continue to spend YOUR MONEY in their efforts to topple Trump, until the day in 2024 that Trump leaves office, after having served his allotted two terms.

PROOF OF THE CON: Young Socialists of America are now advised NOT to mention the word “socialism” in their recruiting efforts while trying to sell socialism. When you can’t mention the name of the very thing you are selling, it becomes obvious you don’t want your victims to know what they’re buying. Socialism IS a con. Socialists promise all kinds of things, and even deliver some. But at what cost to OTHERS? Somebody has to pay for it, and that is the people who are LOOTED in order to provide the goodies promised under socialism. The beneficiaries are the ones who just want to live at the expense of others while the VICTIMS are the ones who have to pay for it all.

MISLEADING THE TROOPS: A liberal professor has called young Trump supporters the same as “Hitler Youth,” when they haven’t done anything like what those fools did to support the Nazis. Of course, he completely ignores ANTIFA, which DO more probably resemble the “Hitler Youth” than do young Trump supporters. Their atrocities are many, and are documented. They put on their masks and black clothes and go out where conservatives are gathered to make trouble. More often than not, they create violence, and the liberal media either blames it on their victims or intimates that it was “just a fight between opposing opinions,” which it is NOT.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: Has-been actor Tom Arnold says he’d “vote for a f---ing Nazi over Trump.” Which pretty much tells us just how ignorant he is, as well as being foul-mouthed. Well, he was never much of an actor, anyway… Dem former Rep. Barney Frank says President Trump hasn’t kept his promises on the economy. What planet has he been living on? Trump has kept more promises than has ANY Dumocrat has ever kept… Hillary says the 2016 election was stolen from her. You know Hillary, who stole the nomination from “Crazy Bernie”… Delusional Dumocrat candidates are saying Obama is the one responsible for Trump’s excellent economy. Boy, are they dimwits… Got an e-mail asking if Trump’s “MAGA” hats should be banned. What Dumocrat stupe came up with that? People who attack the wearers should be thrown in jail and the key thrown away…

Gun Control Is Futile

I’ve probably written that very headline several times in the past, but it’s the only one that fits what I’m about to write. Gun control is truly futile because it doesn’t exist, no matter how hard the anti-gun fools try and convince you it does. Yes, they might be able to stop the law-abiding from getting guns in some instances. But their anti-gun laws are useless in keeping guns out of the hands of people who want to use them for evil purposes. There are already millions of ILLEGAL guns out there, and more are being sold in the black market every day.

BIGGEST DUD IN HISTORY: Bob Mueller’s “testimony” (lies) before Congress was going to be the biggest thing ever for the Dumocrats. And indeed, they’re calling it a “home run,” while what he accomplished was a “whiff.” He was caught in some lies, and mostly just repeated what was already in his “report,” which is just what he promised. I wonder what the Dumocrats will come up with next to spend a few million of our dollars on, to gain yet another “whiff.” They couldn’t do what they’re doing to President Trump to a MURDERER, so why are they being allowed to do it to the president?

MEXICO GUN CONTROL: Mexico has almost perfect “gun control.” Then why were 3,000 people killed, just in June? In Mexico, you can only legally buy a gun at ONE gun store. And that store is run by the government. Their “gun control laws” are very tight. It’s almost impossible for the average Mexican citizen to legally buy a gun. So, of course, they get them ILLEGALLY. There is a flourishing black market in guns in Mexico, as there is everywhere, especially where gun laws are tight. Yes, there are laws about that, but the bad guys just ignore them and go ahead and get their guns illegally, then go out and kill somebody with them. Anti-gun laws only apply to the law-abiding, who aren’t usually the ones who go out and kill people.

MUELLER’S JUST A FIGUREHEAD: He was not the “head” of the “Mueller investigation.” He was put out there because he had a good reputation which is now in tatters. Mueller was put out front as “cover” for the thirteen Trump-hating Hillary supporters that made up the “committee” that actually PRETENDED to “investigate” while they worked assiduously, along with their willing accomplices in the liberal media to “overthrow Donald Trump.” He proved it by ONE answer he gave when he said he “knew nothing” about the “Steele Dossier” and didn’t even know what it was. How somebody who was actually RUNNING that show didn’t have any idea what the thing that got the whole thing running was shows an unmitigated IGNORANCE that comes from being completely distanced from the proceedings.

HE DID IT AGAIN! I really like Branco. He has an unlimited ability to put things in their proper perspective and get a laugh while doing it. In this case, he sums up what Jerry Nadler experienced when Mueller came to “testify” before the committee where he sits on the highest level of the “pecking order.” (A. F. Branco)

ONE MAN’S OPINION: Dumocrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wants to take $600 (or more) away from many Americans so she can GIVE $600 to each American for them to “donate” it to the politician of their choice. Hopefully (of course) a Dumocrat. It amazes me what they want to do with other people’s money, not their own, of course… The Congress gave AG Barr a definite time in which he MUST violate the law by giving them the full, unredacted Mueller Report, which is against the law, or be found in contempt. Good luck with that. They didn’t have much luck doing it to AG Holder. But then, he’s a Dumocrat… “Shady Schiff” thinks AG Bar is “dangerous.” He’s right. Barr IS dangerous to Dumocrats who have “gamed the system”… Dumocrats have tried everything they can think of to “get” President Trump. You’d think they’d finally give up after two years of trying, without success…

.

Outrageous Demand

A “transgender woman” (meaning a man pretending to be a woman) walked into a women’s salon and told them he wanted them to “wax my penis,” and they refused. So he sued after trying the same scam elsewhere. He alleged a violation of his human rights in his several suits over this. It’s amazing what liberals can twist into a “human right.” I don’t really think forcing a “straight woman” to handle his penis and scrotum while waxing them is a “human right.” I think he just wanted a sexual thrill. Maybe that’s the only way he can get any. The whole thing was all about a private business’s right to refuse service to anybody, for any reason, or NO reason, at all. No discrimination here.

THEY’RE NEVER SATISFIED: Liberal Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib takes notice of the $15.00 an hour bill passage in the Dumocrat-controlled House, so she goes right out and demands a $20.00 an hour minimum wage. Just reminding us of a favorite Dumocrat comment, “It’s a good start,” meaning they always want more. Remember this is the woman who went completely bananas at a Trump rally while he was still only a candidate, and she was nothing but a liberal lawyer, and had to be dragged out of the room screaming. This is the quality of politician that make up the “quad squad” I call the “coven.” This is what we get when a mostly Muslim populace gets to elect a politician: a “screaming meemie.”

PRETENDING TO BE NEUTRAL: The Dumocrats are unalterably biased in favor of conviction when it comes to President Trump. There isn’t a day that goes past without some Dumocrat fool coming out and telling us what they are “going to find” in the next “investigation,” without any kind of real evidence. Jerry Nadler, on questioning their “former friend” Robert Mueller, says they have some “specific questions” that will FORCE him to reveal things not revealed before to “get President Trump.” One Dumocrat has tried to get articles of impeachment through 3 times, in a “friendly place,” the House, and lost all 3 times.

“SLAPPIN’ THEIR BOY AROUND”: The Dumocrats pinned all their hopes on the two year “investigation” into President Trump possibly “colluding” with the Russians to get elected. Something they couldn’t prove, no matter how many lives they ruined, or people who were financially broken in the process. When they couldn’t find any evidence of collusion, they turned to obstruction of justice, something else they could not prove. Special Counsel Robert Mueller was supposed to come up with something they could use to “get” Trump, and he failed. So now they hate him and are now treating him as the enemy.

WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT: I have to come up with at least two meaningful items each day for the “Unarmed Citizen” blog, but it’s hard to find anything I haven’t written about multiple times while being ignored by the anti-gun fools. I find myself “preaching to the choir” repeatedly. Then they come up with an article like this one in the Los Angeles Times, where they blame everything on the Congress for “not coming up with a solution and doing nothing about gun crime.” As if there was something they COULD do to stop gun crime. They’ve tried everything they can think of, and none of the anti-gun laws they have passed work worth a damn to “stem gun violence.” That’s because their laws only apply to the law-abiding, who are NOT the problem.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: Certain people should not be allowed to “make rules” for others to follow. That is very true in this case, where a court ruled that a father could not call his daughter a “girl,” or be punished. Worse yet, it applied a “gag order,” preventing him from discussing the action, except with his own lawyer. This is a case of a judge taking in a little too much territory, and the judge should not only be reversed, he/she should be removed from the bench, for cause… Liberals always tell us who scares them the most. Today, it’s AG Barr. He has signaled that he will be “investigating the investigators,” and that scares the hell out of the Dumocrats because they know they’re the worst offenders and have the most to lose… It amazes me how Dumocrats think they’re the smartest guy (or gal) in the room, while they’re too dumb to know how dumb they are…

Using Color As Armour

Black politicians use their blackness as armour against any kind of criticism. I wish I could say former (thankfully) President Obama started it, but he only made the practice wildly popular among black politicians by his indiscriminate use of it to block all criticism of his policies or pronouncements. Today, if you criticize a black politician in any way, they instantly cry “racism!” It’s gutter politics, and Dumocrat politicians regularly use this scam to beat the opposition without having to win on logic. I predict I will be called a racist for this item. It will not be the first time I have been falsely labeled racist because I differed with a black politician.

MANY DASTARDLY PLOTS: The Dumocrats are running so many dastardly plots against this government and this president, there isn’t enough room here to list them all. Gun control is one of them, but the biggest is the plot to overwhelm our borders while flatly refusing to provide enough money to handle the influx, Then bi-ch and gripe, and lie and moan about “conditions” in the “camps” that should have never been necessary. Then go down to the border to “inspect” those camps, get lied to, then spread those lies without bothering to check to see if they are true. AOC went down there and somebody told the LIE that they were told to drink out of toilets for lack of water and AOC, that gullible bimbo former bartender pretending to be a congresswoman, swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker. There’s plenty of water there.

ANARCHY IN NEW YORK: New York City Mayor DeBlasio has made a real mess of New York City with his liberal bullsh-t masquerading as governing. The biggest example of that recently is the picture of “citizens” dumping water on cops as they made an arrest. In another incident, cops are seen walking away as other “citizens” dump water on them. Both incidents without any arrests being made, and no opposition to these ASSAULTS on a police officer because DeBlasio has taken away many of their best tools, including the ability to arrest those fools, who probably drank the courage and the guts to attack these cops, who were doing their duty.

“STAY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES”: Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was scheduled to testify to Congress about his “investigation” into the possibility of Trump “colluding” with the Russians to get elected. Something that has been investigated to death with NO evidence of guilt on Trump’s part found, after two years of “investigating and millions of OUR dollars wasted. But Dumocrats are not satisfied. He didn’t cobble up any evidence they could use to “get rid of Trump,” and now some are accusing him of LYING. Their “friend is now lying to them, they say. The “investigation” devolved into one “investigating” evidence of obstruction of justice, something far away from his original goal.

GUN CRIME NOT UP: A large group of people still think the gun crime rate has risen in the last 25 years, something the anti-gun fools work hard to make them think. Unfortunately, for them. It is not true. Gun crime, along with all kinds of crime has GONE DOWN in the last 25 years, which is vexing for the anti-gun fools, who just want to disarm the populace, period, no matter what the stats show. They lie, and create false narratives in their own “studies,” and shout their tailored results to the skies. They want to take away your guns so they can more easily victimize you themselves in the future and they don’t want to meet a gun in your hand when they do.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: Ilhan Omar says conservatives (VPPence) say “I don’t know what I’m talking about” derisively, as if he was wrong, But he’s right. She DOESN’T know what she’s talking about. Like most liberals, she rushed to use the “race card”… You can always depend on liberals (Dumocrats) to tell you who hurts them the most. That’s why they are now attempting to “savage” AG Barr… AG Barr must be scaring the hell out of Dumocrats. they’re already trying to get him impeached… CNN reveals itself in what it does. It published 20 articles about the “Covington Kids” and what they’re supposed to have done, while totally ignoring the Philly Muslim kids chanting about chopping off heads…

"Sue the Bast-rds!"

While I’m on the subject of suing people, maybe it would be a good time to bring something up that I’ve been thinking of as I watch the Dumocrats violate every right President Trump has by their incessant “investigations,” going over the same facts time after time and finding nothing, and then opening yet another “investigation” that goes nowhere and spends millions of dollars of OUR money while violating the rights of their "victims." Taxpayers ought to be able to get together and SUE the Dumocrat Party for violating the Constitution many times, in their continual efforts to “overthrow President Trump.” That Trump has done NOTHING illegal has been proven, over and over, yet Dumocrats start yet one more “investigation,” spending more millions of our dollars and wasting the time of a lot of good people just because they did some business with Trump, at one time in his career.

“GIVE THEM MONEY!” The question has been asked, “Why has NASA not been more “gung-ho” in advancing the space program, and the answer is simple: give them money. Congress has been famous for reducing the NASA budgets, making further exloration at “full speed” impossible for lack of financing. Meanwhile, the Dumocrats spend millions of dollars in their incessant “investigations” of Donald Trump, that turn up NOTHING, while they then open yet another “investigation,” hoping against hope to find what is NOT there. Then they ask why NASA isn’t “doing something” in space.

JUST BLAME THE COPS: Chicago’s new mayor is saddled with a city drowning in the blood of gun victims, in spite of the fact that they have just about all the anti-gun laws in existence in effect there. So what does she do? She blames the cops. The “easy way out.” Never mind that none of those laws do a damned thing to stop, or even slow down “gun crime,” and that fact makes it impossible for it to be the fault of the cops. Yet the politicians all “jump on the bandwagon” to falsely blame the cops for what the politicians have done, and for which they refuse to take responsibility.

WHY GUN-FREE ZONES? I just can’t understand why politicians all over the country continue to create more and more “gun-free zones,” everywhere you go when they are demonstrably USELESS in stopping, or even slowing down “gun violence,” Instead INCREASING it by disarming the law-abiding, making them DEFENSELESS against the millions of ILLEGAL guns, already out there, in the hands of “bad guys,” who only want to do us harm. Not a one of their highly vaunted anti-gun laws does ANYTHING to stem gun violence, but they continue to make them in the face of solid evidence they do not work, and only make it easier for criminals to victimize the law-abiding.

THEY JUST WANT CONTROL: Politicians have no interest in “gun safety,” except for themselves when they come to take our property under cover of the law. But that is secondary. Their basic wish is to control as much of our lives as they can, and “gun control” is a major part of control of our lives. Anti-gun laws don’t work. That has been proven many times, in many ways. They say the cops can protect us. WRONG! Sure, the cops try hard to do that, but they can’t be everywhere at once. It takes them from a few minutes, to HOURS or in some places, DAYS to respond to a call for help. Admittedly taking hours or days is rare, but it happens.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: It’s really interesting; everything the Dumocrats say will ever happen is happening under President Trump. Like them saying the economy will ever again grow at more than 3%. It is now at 3.2%. Obama said the economy would never come back, yet it has gone to record highs. I guess we can look at their predictions and know what is to come; just the opposite of what they predict… Ilhan Omar looks at Venezuela and blames—not Maduro, who IS responsible, but America, who is NOT. Which proves that an “enemy of America” can be elected to Congress if he/she can con enough good people into voting for him/her… AOC doesn’t surprise me that she can be “surprised” that plants actually GROW! Which tells me how stupid she really is—if her daily vomiting of stupidities did not… Washington Post seems to think that black racist/socialist “Calypso Louie” Farrakhan is a conservative, which shows their abysmal ignorance…

Wishful Thinking

At the University of Michigan, they found a noose in an employee’s desk. They “investigated,” breathlessly telling people it was a “noose,” which, of course, implies racism, which they badly want to happen so they can make more racist claims. Following an extensive “investigation” by the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS), they found it wasn’t a noose, at all. It was just some employee practicing knot-tying on his break. Of course, “If relevant information comes forward, they will reopen the investigation.” So if you race-baiters can pony up some “information,” maybe you can create a racist scare.

LIBS HATE PRATT’S SHIRT: They call it racism, their usual phony epithet. Why do they hate it? Because it says “Don’t Tread on Me” while they spend most of their time “treading on people’s rights, and they can’t have that. It’s against their “rules” They want to keep treading on people’s rights with their stupid, ineffective, unenforceable anti-gun laws, and that shirt points out the fallacy of their efforts. So they hate it. And that’s not all. They hate anything that points out their stupidity and bullying ways, so they want to ban it, and Chris Pratt refuses to do so. So they’ll probably demand a boycott of his films. Good luck with that. Chris Pratt is one of the “most bankable stars in Hollywood” right now.

ONLY THE LAW-ABIDING: The futility of the anti-gun laws is stunning. They tell us they are “concerned with gun safety” when all they want to do is get rid of all the guns in existence, an impossible task. There are millions of illegally-owned guns out there, and more coming, every day. Their laws only apply to the law-abiding, who mostly are NOT the problem. Lawbreakers ARE, and the laws only touch them when they get caught. What the hell good are laws that only apply to the law-abiding? It is the lawbreakers they want to stop being able to get guns, and that will never happen. There is too much money to be made in black market gun sales, which are happening every day, right under their noses.

RACIST, RACIST, RACIST! Dumocrats accuse everybody that disagree with them of racism, even when it is demonstrably NOT racism. Yet it is the Dumocrats who worry that the first Dumocrat presidential candidates for the first debates are all white. Only a racist would even THINK of that. They even sink so low as to accuse an official SAINT of racism in one of his pronouncements, which is also demonstrably NOT racist, and is in fact, the exact OPPOSITE of racism. They twist people’s words to impute racism in what they say. They even purposely misquote them so they can CLAIM racism. They think racism in their every thought. That's real racism.

SHOULD BE A LESSON THERE: Liberals should let the Oberlin College fiasco be a lesson to all liberals who think they can FORCE people to go against their deepest principles and do business with them that they hate, to their very souls. Watch what would happen if a Christian went into a Muslim-owned bakery and insisted on them baking a cake slamming Islam? That could result in bloody murder, not a simple lawsuit, because the Muslims have no sympathy for people who try to oppose their “religion. And the Koran actually tells them shunning, insulting, lying to, or even KILLING “Infidels” is okay.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: Only a Dumocrat! Former VP Biden just referred to “that Godawful tax cut Trump laid on us.” Only a Dumocrat would look on a massive tax cut as “Godawful.def”… Beto “bets it all” on global warming, that many-times disproved swindle. He talks about spending $5 trillion to “fight global warming,” or in 50 years, all will be lost. He ought to talk to AOC, who thinks we’ll all be dead by then… The Oklahoma governor just signed a bill into law BANNING “free speech zones” on campus, for all the wrong reasons. But there should not be a NEED for them. The entire campus SHOULD be a “free speech zone,” since the Constitution GUARANTEES free speech… Trump is trying to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a “terrorist group.” And that’s only right, seeing as how they ARE a terrorist group...

.

"We Must Ban Fire!"

There was a “mass killing” in Japan, but, “thankfully,” a gun wasn’t used to kill them. 33 confirmed dead in a fire purposely set by a man seen setting the fire. He is now in custody and, presumably, will be charged with multiple murders. He has not been identified at this writing, and nothing has been said about his motive. It is said that this animation studio has received many death threats over the years, but until now, none have been carried out. Of course, this will not make much of a ripple in the American liberal media because no guns were used in these murders. They’re only interested in mass murder if a gun is used to commit them

GUN CONTROL INSANITY: An armed deputy sheriff in complete uniform with his badge showing entered an IRS office to ask a question, whereupon he was accosted, at gunpoint, by a gun-wielding security guard who wasn’t smart enough to understand how and why he was armed, only that the IRS offices were a “gun-free zone.” He thought that included armed officers of the law, as well. Well, not including himself, of course. When the cop explained that he could not disarm himself while on duty the security guard pulled his gun on the cop, who decided to just leave to deescalate the situation. The security guard tried to grab the cop to “arrest him” as he was leaving, which did not end well for him, since the cop was a self defense trainer. The guard himself was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing. And rightly so.

OUT OF CONTROL REP.: Dumocrat Rep Al Green again introduced “articles of impeachment” against President Trump. This is his third try, and it was again dispensed with in short order by a 332 to 95 vote (only 95 dumb Dumocrats). Never mind there is not any cause for Trump to be impeached, Green thinks because he hates him, he can bring it off. He just doesn’t understand he is a voice “crying in the wilderness” when the Dumocrats leadership realizes the futility of impeaching Trump with a Republican majority in the Senate, which would be required to either convict, or refuse to convict. Refusal to convict would be a disaster for them.

LIES OF OMISSION: Shepard Smith, one of the most liberal commentators on Fox, “reported” on that tired, old, accusation made by Stormy Daniels that she had had sex with Donald Trump many years ago, long before he ever thought about running for president, and got a $300,000 “payoff” for her silence. Boy! That’s really an expensive prostitute! He reported that Trump’s lawyer, on his own, made that payoff, not mentioning the lawyer thought the charge was false, but could cause problems, anyway. Then he “reports” about that “send her home” chant at Trump’s latest rally, saying that is what Trump had said, when he demonstrably did NOT say anything of the kind.

“THEY DIDN’T STOP US!” That’s the whine from an anti-Trump demonstrator who stupidly tried to block an Interstate highway AT NIGHT and got run over for her trouble. She’s damned lucky just to be alive. So she sued her school and everybody else she could think of, and the judge “threw it out of court” because the people she sued had no responsibility to stop the demonstration. I feel sorry for her in that the guy who hit her had no insurance and no assets for her to levy on if she HAD won that suit, even though the fault was HERS. This woman, obviously a liberal, and others, were so distraught about Trump winning the election that they wanted to cause a major problem in response. They succeeded, but not in the way they expected. This is a good illustration that “actions have consequences.”

SANFORD IN THE PRIMARIES: Republican Mark Sanford wants to run for president in the 2020 primaries. Seems like this guy LIKES being “pounded into the ground.” 2020 is NOT the time to run against a popular president that has done so much for this country. But predictably there will be irrational “Trump-Haters” who will contribute much stupid money that he will be a be to run, and thus be “slapped down” by the “Trump Machine.” This guy can’t be too intelligent if he thinks he has one chance in hell of defeating the Trump juggernaut. Dumocrats will be very happy he’s running, since they share his stupidity. I predict he will drop out even before the primaries after running out of money.

ONE MAN’S OPINION: The New York Times thinks AOC is “clever.” Which, more than anything else, shows their complete ignorance. Anybody who thinks this bimbo is “clever” has got to be insanely ignorant… Biden says “We need to unify America again,” ignoring the fact that is its his party that created all the disunity, and we could “unify the country again” by his party stopping opposing everything Trump does, even if it’s something they wanted, until Trump wanted it… The liberal media accuse Trump of “incendiary lies” about abortion when what he is doing is telling the truth about it… I just got a question from the National Republican Polling asking if “Crazy Bernie” is too socialist for Americans to accept. There are no “levels” of socialism that are acceptable. Socialism is socialism, and that is unacceptable in its entirety…
