Mike Pence’s Promise to Conservatives

Mike Pence took the stage at CPAC on Friday, promising conservatives that socialism will never take root in America. PJ Media reports:

OXON HILL, Md. — On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with a powerful denunciation of socialism, repeating President Donald Trump’s declaration that America “will never be a socialist country.”

“Today Democrats openly advocate an economic system that has impoverished millions of people across the world. Under the guise of Medicare-for-all and a Green New Deal, Democrats are embracing the same tired economic theories that have impoverished nations and stifled the liberties of millions,” Pence declared.

Citing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a Democratic candidate for the presidency in 2020, Pence noted that “it’s not just him.”

He said the socialism advocated by Democrats would not be anything “new,” but rather “more of the same: more taxes, more spending, more government, and less freedom.”

Socialism is on the rise, and it is incumbent on every freedom loving American to make sure it never taints our free system of government.

Pence would get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Minimum wage, EPA, etc and let the big corporations and robber barons impoverish America. 1% of the richest American oligarchs already own 40% of America; Trump and Pence want it to be 100%. America is much more capitalistic than it was 30 years ago; look at the inequality statistics. Big business, NOT big government, controls every aspect of our lives today, and it it is getting worse. drug prices? hospital care prices? corporate pollution? union busting? off-shore production? food poising and additives? The middle class is disappearing, and it is not “big government ” that is causing it, Federal and state laws and regulations are the only protection middle America has against the new robber barons.

You, sir, are nutty as a fruitcake. Pure envy has overtaken those who are pushing socialism. There have ALWAYS been rich and poor, and those in between…. and there always will be, only in socialism most everybody is poor except for those running the government. Suddenly just about everybody wants to be rich, and they think they can achieve that by taking down those who are already rich. Nope — that won’t work, either. Learn to use your head for some smart thinking, do your best at what you’re good at and learn to be content with wherever you are in life at the moment. That does NOT mean to quit striving to better yourself, but be sure to help somebody else along the way….. you will b e very glad you did. And, just exactly who is saying the middle class is disappearing? I don’t believe it for one minute…. just because ‘somebody’ says something does not make it true. Prove it! Prove it beyond any doubt.–

Yup, but bob and dolts like him can’t use their heads, and are lazy to a fault.
There may be a civil war soon if these idiots continue to lay down for their socialist masters, who promise paradise and deliver Venezuela.

Disagree. Rich people should not be equated with the word Evil. There are good rich guys, and there are bad rich guys. There are evil government leaders and there are good government leaders. Good ideas and bad ideas. Big government is a bad idea. Does there need to be some kind of balance, so the bad rich guys don’t take over everything? Sure, but I don’t know what that would be. But I know this: I can’t rob a rich guy just because he’s got more money than I do.
I feel like anti-rich people are not even paying attention-capitalism is the only way to go. Trump and Pence are doing a fantastic job.

And you know what? Wanna talk about regulations etc. ? My husband was a union member and heard all that the union reps came up with to convince the other employees to vote democratic. It took MY husband to ask the right questions and open the eyes of the other employees so they wouldn’t vote blindly and on just one issue. My husband had to go to classes out of state when he was on the safety committee….and those people who are supposed to be collecting union dues in order to ‘fight for workers’ rights’ ?, well, they enjoyed the wealth of royalty at their little week long meetings. Steaks upon steaks…at one meal! The employee’s hard earned money was being spent recklessly, monstrously, behind the scenes at huge resorts. My husband couldn’t even EAT more than his fair share, the reality of what those ‘good guys’ were doing with his fellow employee’s money turned his stomach.
So, watch your back. The guys who are supposed to be watching yours, are merely getting THEIRS scratched. And I’m sure it’s similar or worse with many of our Senators and Representatives, especially considering Pelosi thinks $1,500 is mere crumbs to Americans. SHE’S MEGA RICH. Google how many houses she owns. Google how many houses Clinton owns. Go for it, those people who claim to equalize us, means US, not them. They plan to keep THEIR money.

Signed, Not Even Close to Middle Class

Socialism is LIKE A BAD CASE OF INFECTIOUS HEMOROIDS! It is proven all over the world, it does NOT work. Many countries outside the US that have Socialism in government has proven it is a BAD IDEA! The Demon-RATS only want to destroy America, not improve it!

President Trump and VP Pence will tell us that Socialism will never be in The United States but what will happen after President Trump is gone and out of office? What will happen when and if these Radical Socialists get into the White House? We already have a lot of Socialists in Congress when even just one Socialist is too many. It’s the very same thing when it comes to Islam, We have two in Congress right now and they should not even be allowed to be in our Government Office at all? Why? Because they Hate America and our first Religion which is Christianity And the Jewsish Religion as well. They want us all Dead. Just look at all of the Anti-Jewish things they have been saying against the Jews? If that is not Anti-American I don’t know what is. All of these Anti-Americans need to be kicked our of These United States Of America right away.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

The government must not turns its back on the needs of the people. including the need for affordable health care, not to be cheated, clean air, water and soil and a decent education. Opponents s arbitrarily throw the word “socialism” around to oppose measures that help the poor. Trump and his ilk support the interests of the billionaires.

OK. Just how do you propose to pay for all these freebies you want?No person that wants all this free crap has answered this. Sure Tax the rich more, o.k.!who owns most of the company’s where people work? Rich people. Did you ever stop to think maybe they got rich,cause they had a good idea,made money at it,hired a lot of people that also worked hard to make this person rich? Where is your intelligence? How come you aren’t one of the rich and can now have your money,you worked hard for,then it’s given to those that are LAZY, and just want it for free?

The most crucial thing we need to get going on right this minute is PULL YOUR KIDS OUT OF LIBERAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. NOW! Then pull your younger kids out of government schools. That will slow down the tide of crazy, socialist, anti-God ideas. These are the places that are planting the seeds.
Keep in mind that the goal of social engineers (the teachers who are teaching the teachers) is to get our kids away from their parents and their parents’ ideals as EARLY AS POSSIBLE. Literally, that’s in a college textbook. They NEED our children, if they want to manipulate society. They literally said they want to get rid of the parents’ religious teachings and bring in a new humanist religion. This was made known to me over twenty years ago…..and now I see how well their agenda is working. Pull your kids out! I know soooo many public school teachers who HOME EDUCATE their own kids! Doesn’t that tell you something???

I quit telling my grandkids yrs ago to go to college.Go to trade school,or find a decent paying job and work your way up. I saw how colleges were turning our kids against our country.
I researched colleges when a Granddaughter insisted she was going.I told her Heiretage College teaches and goes by the Consitution,May be a safe place to go.Instead,she went out,found a good job,worked way up fast,and I bet she makes more$ then most college grads! By the way,she’s,dead on Conservative thinking.Socialism didn’t nab her.
