Reading (with great hope and expectations) yet another article suggesting free-market thinkers “Make the Moral Case for Capitalism”…it almost gets there, as have past articles…but doesn’t connect the final dot – messaging at their target audience level.

How, then, would a convincing and effective argument be made?

First – votes decide political leadership, so voters must be the target audience.

Next – understand that arguments for Capitalism must resonate with that audience, not the elites pushing Socialism (they’ll be part of that government ‘helping’ the masses).

Then, make the case: Socialism is just another word for ‘despair’ – it relies on a concept that people can’t make it on their own…they need a benevolent government’s help…but ‘benevolent’ assistance comes at a price: those ranked as masses remain as masses.

Los Angeles is an example of such government: crumbling infrastructure, an education system ranked lowest nationwide, high prices, rising homelessness, fleeing businesses.

So, if socialism relies on despair, who believes those pushing socialism want to relieve it? How hard is it to explain that a socialist government needs to keep masses down?

Capitalism’s another word for ‘hope’…with millions of rags-to-riches stories to choose from which expose the lie that everyday people can’t make it on their own, and story after story about the state and local communities that succeed where capitalism thrives.

Just ask Ben Carson, or Condoleezza Rice. Look at Florida, or better, Texas – a state that created more jobs between 2007 and 2014 than all other 49 states combined.

Capitalism exists to create wealth; Socialism exists to control wealth – ask the masses of Los Angeles how such a system is working for them, their families, and their friends.

The forces of Capitalism are all linked to that which is positive in our human nature, but in Socialism we see all the forces that are negative: envy, despair, totalitarianism.

Arguments for Socialism rely on negative emotional triggers, and can only be countered effectively with the target audience by more effective positive emotional arguments.

Make that message resonate with the real target audience, and Capitalism wins.

There’s a reason America is the success that it is – Capitalism.

American Thinker: “On Jan. 22, 2019, Ali Akbar Salehi, the nuclear chief of the Iranian theocracy, acknowledged that Iran had fooled the 5+1 and IAEA group of foreign ministers – these were U.S. and European foreign ministers who negotiated the Iran deal – into signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.  That was the deal President Obama signed with other leaders and touted to the U.S. public.”

You know…the deal President Trump threw out when he came into office.

More and more, he’s beginning to look like the only grown-up in the room.

She used Willie Brown to get a leg up in California politics, and now?

Begs the question – who will she have to use to get the 2020 endorsement?

Based on past standards Bill Clinton’s not old enough…maybe Warren Buffett?

Yeah…he’s married and old (judging by her past m.o., that’s important).

Or, how about George Soros? He’s old and married too.

Decisions, decisions.

(Thus…the conundrum…)

Roger Stone pled ‘not guilty’ in court, over allegations of lying to Congress.

Could just be he’s planning to invoke the Hillary-ploy of ‘intent’ that failed FBI Dir Comey used when he whitewashed Hillary Clinton’s email destruction during the ’16 campaign.

What the heck…it worked for her, right?

CNS News article reports “Harris Urges Gun Control: Put Members of Congress in a Locked Room With Autopsy Photos of Babies” Hmmmmm…

The woman supports abortion, which has taken the lives of over 18 million unborn babies since Roe-v-Wade, is hardly the person to suggest ‘vote your conscience’.

Of course, that assumes she has one.

“Voter Fraud: Yes, Noncitizens Are Voting In Elections — Texas Just Proved It“

Voting is one of the most important rights an American citizen has.

We’re of the mind that an exaggeration of how often vote fraud occurs is less damning than LYING that there’s no fraud going on…or it’s not ‘widespread’, not that big a deal.

But, as an IBD editorial notes “…this is a clever dodge. Election fraud doesn’t have to be widespread to be effective…the very purpose of election fraud is to flip extremely close elections…doesn’t take widespread voter fraud, just carefully targeted efforts.”

Texas is an excellent example, when you consider its southern border areas have gone largely Democrat – think that’s coincidental, with illegal immigration as a primary issue?

Winning elections relying on voter fraud should never be an acceptable alternative.

Of course, those in the Party that benefits from vote fraud may feel differently.

So far, seems the Mueller probe has snared 5-6 Trump aides or volunteers for lying under oath…although not one charge involves the much-sought ‘collusion’ fantasy.

BlueCollar has an easy, effective solution for those charged…change party affiliation.

After all, it’s provable fact Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Hillary, and many more Democrats lied under oath recently, and in the past – but the FBI never came knocking.

“A cure for cancer? Israeli scientists say they think they found one“

O-M-G! What’s a cancer-stricken anti-Israeli person to do?

And, we’re assuming that the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah will order all Muslims to avoid using any cancer-curing drug developed and created by (shudder)…Israelis.

Irony drips – the most beleaguered sect in the world may save millions of lives a year.

Senator ‘Sacaja’Warren, the native American pretender, wants to hit top money earners with a wealth tax, but there’s only one way to determine what a person’s wealth is…

…they’ll have to disclose everything they own, right down to pearl-handled nail clippers.

Want an invasion of privacy? Invoke a ‘wealth’ tax, and let the games begin.

Maybe the woman should go back to what she does best…stealing ancestry.

(For those who wonder why a wealth tax is a bad idea, there’s this: “Taxes on wealth are poorly designed taxes on investment. Investment is the lifeblood of our economy. It’s needed to add new jobs, update aging factories, and develop new technologies. The little guy benefits the most from new technologies, processes, and business models. It’s this type of innovation and investment that allows us to buy cheaper clothes, better computers at lower prices, and fresher food at our grocery stores. Under a wealth tax, the world’s wealthiest investors—many of whom live in the U.S.—would shift their businesses elsewhere, would employ citizens of other countries, and would raise wages in the U.S. more slowly. The tax would diminish the attractiveness of new breakthrough technologies and squander the even more important peripheral investments for incremental change. America’s success as the leading economy in the world is the result of entrepreneurs taking risks on new products, failing, and trying again.”)

“Nearly 58,000 Noncitizens Illegally Voted In Texas. How Many More Nationwide?“

Yeah, yeah…what voter fraud?
