I can see the May Day parades, the soviet national anthem playing and those who disagree are hauled off. Thier vision of America is treasonous. They do.

The left is Americas greatest of threat, if our nation falls those people will be the architects of the fall.

Immediately the First and Second Amendments would be gone as well as the electoral college. Likely the Supreme Court would be revamped and possibly our entire court system. Significant restrictions would be placed on who can run for President, if we would even have elections any more. Whites would be paying significantly more in taxes than other races, forfeitures of homes, property would likely take place for some kind of reparations perceived to be necessary. And then ultimately, the Constitution would be done completely away with so the UN could dictate how our nation would be run.

Just take everything Hillary Clinton and the DNC did, said or alluded to on the campaign trail and there you have it.

PS - Planned Parenthood would likely have a significant role in the government, possibly globally, again, based on comments made by the CEO, Clinton and the DNC throughout the campaign and before. We'd see abortions well into the third trimester.

And one more - can't believe I forgot this one: borders would be wide open if existent at all. Citizenship would be loosely defined. White and blacks would be struggling to find a job. Rape would almost become acceptable due to the "culture" of other countries. Again, these are things happening now around the world, advocated by the DNC and/or Clinton by their words or actions.

And the White House would be monetized.

And the government would be dictating our medical care.

You can't say that. You don't know what the fees would be.

Point is with a user fee or toll, everyone gets charged the exact same dollar amount, which is regressive, as it is a smaller percentage of your income the more you earn, rather than the same percentage (flat) or more (progressive)

Maybe they're terrified that they'd have to treat women and black people fairly?

Are you simply trying to play the sympathy card? There's a difference between this and most social programs, but you don't want to talk about those - which seem to be the only ones the rest of us are talking about.

It reminds me of when my kids were small. The older one would spend a few hours doing extra chores that I'd pay him for and the younger one wasn't interested, preferring instead to go outside to play. Then when he'd see his brother with a few bucks he'd come racing into the house with, "NO FAIR!!! Why does he get money when I didn't?" I'd just smile and say, "You opted out, Chief!"

And again, I have to ask - why don't the libs ever talk about the unfairness of bringing a baby into the world when the mother cannot even feed herself?
