US passing through socialism on way to communism

Mr. Fullen, listen to me sir, i don't know you, never laid eyes on you, but this Op-ed is the most outstanding, hard-hitting staight-up truth about what's going on in this country I have ever read! You knocked it out of the "proverbial park!"

This country is about Fifty Percent taken over by China now! They are just keeping it quiet, until nothing can stop them from bringing us down economically, and neutralizing us militarily! This is what OBAMA wanted and what he was born to do, DESTROY AMERICA, in order to set ISRAEL up for destruction! Ever wonder why no Israel/ Arab peace deals of magnitude came under Obama/ Joe 60%'s watch? Remember his whispering "open Mike" statement to the Russians? "Tell "VLAD" I will be more FLEXIBLE after my next election!" China has been bragging that they have surrogates in high places all over America!

They were lying! They have surrogates all over ANERICA period... everywhere, even in Galveston County! You were right when you insinuated they are systematically stripping away our Constitutional rights and freedom guarantees one by one! They will keep doing so until we are like Hong Kong, and Cuba!

Some are begining to fight back but some will not be enough! We have Americans who go berserk if you say something bad about China now, they will call YOU RACIST, and even curse you out! Look how the fake news have been censoring conservatives now, even doxoing them, .. for speaking out! I predict before 2021 is over, we will be in another war abroad ...if not one right here in the states!

I predict ISIS will breathe big again, the JV TEAM will comeback alive! I predict terrorism financed by IRAN will return, & high taxes, on everybody in order to help pay NATO, EUROPEAN UNION, and everybody else's bills while they stab us in the back with the enemies our service men and women will be dying to protect them from! I saw great things with Trump coming back, but all hell is going to break loose now that BARACK OBAMA has a Third Term!

He is sure to make good on his bold statement made in 2008 saying, " I will fundelmentally change America and the world before I am done!" Four or Five months after he was sworn in he received the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for saying that, for doing nothing, but trashing out America. Joe 60% is on Time Magazine for hiding in a BUNKER, staying low until the fix was in. Well Thanks for the Op-ed sir, I throughly enjoyed It! You are a true Patriot who loves America, and I must say it seems as though the America we love ...is about to go down in flames!

"Meanwhile, many in our society have come to support the idea that the government should provide health care, education, guaranteed income and perhaps eventually the entire cost of living."

Oh no heaven forbid the government actually provide services for its citizens! The Horror!!

So the profanity that is used by the right against the left is the fault of socialism?

So we vote for a candidate for president and we elect the person the majority thinks should represent us. Biden wins and suddenly we're not a democracy anymore. Now we're socialist. Then Trump runs and wins in 2024 and now we're a democracy again but the Constitution hasn't changed. And all those black and brown (and white) folks who voted for a Democrat are godless atheists. Sometimes we go a little overboard in our rhetoric. There's an election every four years. We get tired of the abuses of the Right and we vote Left. Then we get tired of the abuses of the Left and we vote Right. As long as we get to vote every four years we're still a democracy. Let's all chill and let this play out. It's been going on for 200 years.

Your credibility falls apart with your claim of "credible allegations of election fraud" when one considers that not any of Trump's lawyers has claimed fraud in any of the more than 65 failed lawsuits. Instead, they make every other claim and present NO EVIDENCE, can't even get Bill Barr to go along with this un-American garbage.

"Abraham Lincoln's career as America's 16th president spanned about four years, from March 4, 1861 to his murder on April 15, 1865, by a Confederate sympathizer. Long before entering Washington, Lincoln's life was in danger; his entire presidency was marked by civil war and contentious conditions!"

It was the same with Trump. No matter what the LEFT says, It was not the girls they say he spoke harshly of or the business deals they did not like or names he called people, which were the causes of so many hating him! It was because of the calling of greatness which was on him which was there for all to see!

It was his call of destiny, and a SUPERNATURAL deeply rooted SATANIC hate directed towards both Lincoln and Trump which served as the catalyst needed to facilitate an all out long determination used to destroy both men! Lincoln was dispised for his Liberating and freeing BLACK PEOPLE! The same type people hates TRUMP for the same reason. He enabled African-Americans and Hispanics to be self-responsible by helping them to rise up out of poverty, getting better educated, and to live like other demographics of people.

They destroyed Lincoln for it and they went out their way to do the same to Trump! Trump was not a traitor, and the LEFTIST RADICALS knew IT! He did more in three years than any President in history did in four or eight, and NO other American President could rival Trump's success other than Lincoln! He brokered Middle East Peace Deals others said would never be done!

He got a Vaccine for the public to combat one of the worst Pandemics in world history.... in months instead of years when others said it was IMPOSSIBLE, & while vilifying, mocking, and excoriating him for saying he would! He signed trade deals helping America after other Presidents signed deals hurting America, and Americans! He made America Great Again, the RADICALS plotted and conspired together with the deep state, and foreign governments and stole the last election from him, in front of the.WORLD!

It was a betrayal of catastrophic proportions, which the world has never seen before in history! America will never ...NEVER...BE...THE SAME...AGAIN!

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Isoroku Yamamoto

American patriots are today's sleeping giant. We are too busy working and earning a living to be involved in political rantings such as the rioting and vitriol coming from the left. The cheating in this election is the straw that broke the camel's back. To add another quote from the 1976 movie, 'Network'. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore."

When all the smoke clears and the court cases have been dismissed by the opposition, you can be sure that the 'sleeping giant' will rise up and destroy the political machine that has been cheating in elections for decades. When looking at county by county voting trends this entire country feels cheated. We're not going to take it anymore.

There’s good news Mr. Fullen. You can easily reach that moral higher plane by just pulling yourself out of the muck of religious bigotry and scapegoating. Also, your understanding of causes leading to extreme socialism and communism are so flawed, you need not worry. At least for now, the threat to continued democracy has been removed. The door to true socialism, communism, and autocratic regimes (which you may be ok with) is extreme social and economic inequality, commonly fueled by a prolonged episode of corruption. We just dumped an extremely corrupted autocratic aspirant. That’s good news for you and the country. We now need to be wary of the trumpists who are creating a Christian version of the Egyptian Brotherhood that is threatening our freedom and democratic republic.

A commentary well done! Our youth would do well to read and head. Thanks Bill!

I don't feel cheated. The sleeping giant gave a pink slip to Cadet Bonespurs.

Happy Birthday, Bill

Happy Birthday, Bill

THANK YOU, Bill!!! Precisely nailed it! So glad someone had the fortitude to scribe what every American is thinking. Good job!

Ladies and gentlemen, America has a national debt of 27 trillion dollars....this is unsustainable and it is our own fault, We the People for allowing it to happen. We need to prepare ourselves and our families for when the interest rates start to rise so will the national debt, a house of cards can not stand.

The higher taxes won't be on middle income earnings but on what we buy. Inflation is a government way to extract money from wage earners.

This piece is one of the worst examples of fear mongering I've ever seen. Simply ludicrous. If the author truly believed in this, he'd want to get rid of public schools and public funding. He'd want to get rid of any public hospitals and public funding for those such as UTMB. He'd want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. I'm betting he doesn't want to cross those lines in the absolute. He simply wants to generate fear to push people to one side of the political aisle over the other.

222 socialist democrats and 10 RINO republicans voted for a REVENGE impeachment of Trump. Solidifying Trump as the leader of the Patriot/MAGA party. The Patriot/ MAGA party now has a complete list of people and their districts to target in the 2022 midterm elections. Trump failed to drain the DC swamp. Patriot/MAGA will get it done. Without ever running again Trump can watch the movement he built achieve his dream.

"Socialism," a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Last time I looked, the majority of the businesses in Galveston were privately owned by individuals or corporations. I'm not aware of anything "owned" by the government producing a profit. If I'm incorrect, please provide evidence!

Now, there are a number of businesses that receive government aid in one way or another directly or indirectly through the tax system. Might this be the "socialism" providing the gateway to "communism?" Might the Federal money that helped transform the Strand area some 45 years ago from a no man's land to what is has become "socialism?" Have any of the variety of entrepreneurs who profited from the social investment now become communist's?

Government interaction in the daily lives of Americans through grants and subsidies for roads, sanitary systems, healthcare and numerous other benefits we enjoy as Americans are "socialism" at its best and the various programs supporting these benefits have been around a lot longer than you or I, yet, the last time I looked, we were a democracy fighting the attempt at fascism of the past four years.

Make sure you don’t take your socialist programs like social security and Medicare. Also send you stimulus check back to the government
