T. Carlson: What level of education did he achieve?  And is he allowed to drive?  Invade Canada to rescue us poor Canadians from our Prime Minister?  Hmmmmmm…

The U.S, has made it an art form, to say nothing of policy, to invade other countries (why is our oil under their land?), when it wants something (make the world safe and accessible for U.S. Companies).  Have a read of William Blum‘s highly nuanced and well- researched Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions since World War II. Don’t be turned off by the term ‘socialism’.  If you are scared of the term, try to put it aside so that you can read from someone else’s textbook than the one in your head, if you want them to read from yours.

How about a poll?  which would you choose?

Tucker:  a) believes the silly things he says b). he knows what he says is _____(pick an adjective), but he loves stirring  pots (would he keep his job if he didn’t?). c) he keeps forgetting to take his happy pills and forgets what is false and what is not.

If Tucker could understand stats, knows history, understands the difference between these terms- communist, socialist, democratic socialist-he will find that most countries have some form of the third option and, while every country has its foibles and crises with which to deal, are doing far better than his country in safety, health, equity between citizens (though of late: the last 40 years, we have had some trouble with this one), overall higher educational achievements by more people per capita, we do not allow citizens to have enough guns to keep killing one another, especially school children, nor do we allow a bunch of cops to beat the s**t out of and kill black people because; well-what the hell is going on there?

So, dear Tucker, it would be much better for everyone if you a) went back to grade school and learn a few things, b) see a psychiatrist if you actually believe the kind of silly things you say and c). maybe contemplate whether a few other countries in the world would have some positive things to teach you.
