Not if she's guided by the Course in Miracles, which she claims.

In Ft. Lauderdale I was friends with a group dedicated to the Course in Miracles. They hounded me to get into it. I read the first volume. But I recognized that they were acting like Bonobo monkeys, including freely jumping around into adultery and fornication between each other.

But since the Course emphasizes forgiveness, I guess they were putting it into practice, by forgiving each other. Haha

I didn't see any miracles. So I don't think much of the corny Course in Miracles ... nor this loony New Ager Marianne.

I'm not sure if you really like her, or if you're just being hyperbolic. She's a crazy lefty.

All Democrats are crazy Lefty's, even creepy Uncle Joe. Did you see? He did it again.

But with Marianne I feel the love. Let's call her Miracle Marianne. They gave Trump no chance in the last election, so don't write her out. They said Biden was a shoe-in for this election, and he is fading fast.

Marianne is honest and speaks from the heart, a couple of traits sorely lacking with the other 2 dozen candidates, and btw Trump's strongest feature. I'm thinking about registering Democrat so I can vote for her.

In the last election the Russians and others manipulated the naive to divide the US against each other. Trying to portray "All Democrats are crazy lefty's" is just more of the same. Are we really so naive to fall for the same thing again?

By voting for the Democrats they will get a socialist/communist, whether they realize it or not. What I find to be really stupid is all the wealthy liberals -- academia, sports and hollywood stars, coastline elites, silicon valley, etc. -- promoting progressive ideology like income equality. Don't they realize that means they lose everything? What do you think happened to Cuba. Venezuela, Ussr amd her satellites, etc?

With capitalism, we have rich and poor, and everything in between. With socialism, there is only poor -- true income equality! They will look back and long for the good old days of Trumpism.

Yeah, just look at Canada and Britain, and all the other very happy democratic socialistic nations.

If you look at the thread on the education gap we don't have "equality". We have a system designed for a class system. 30 years ago you might be able to argue that it was done through ignorance. Not anymore. The system is clearly designed to take the money earmarked to educate kids and instead build up our computer industry. The result is to have a nice looking school that is populated and administered by the poorly educated. That is only true of the inner city, the suburbs and private schools don't get away with that. They are judged by results.

But the inner city has immigrant parents and parents who never went to college and single parent mothers and basically just a whole lot of parents intimidated by school and afraid to respond or lacking the fundamental understanding to respond. So we have parents who will make a big complaint about a kid failing, but don't care that the kids are being given an elementary school education.

So these kids go through this system and then discover they can't go to college, they can't get a job that pays a living wage, and so inherently they know something is wrong, just don't know what it is. Now either those of us who do know what the problem is will solve it, or else these uneducated masses will become the majority and elect AOC.

We will never have equality. That is science fiction. Look at children from the same family. They don't have equality, yet they had the same parents, same home, same opportunities, same education, yet often have vastly different outcomes. " Equality" is the opium of the Left. And the only way so-called "equality" can occur is in a totalitarian regime, where the state decides your life, and those who don't like it get sent to Siberia or one of Kim's prison cities. These are the "lucky ones" who get to live.

What we should strive for is freedom -- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Look at Dr. Ben Carson. He rose from the ghetto to pioneer neuro-surgery. So-called "equality" would have suppressed him.

Busing and affirmative opportunity were supposed to solve this problem in America. It may have opened doors for some, but the problems got worse. The real problem is broken homes and broken souls. Their kids will nearly always be disadvantaged. Inner city schools fail because inner city homes have failed.

AOC and her ilk will always deceive the masses with their utopian promises. Their tactics just enhance their own gains. Does AOC practice what she preaches? Of course not. Did Al Gore? Obama? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? This list is endless. All of them profiting off the plight of others.

What we really need is Jesus. On a personal level. On a family level.

As I read the comments here, a thought occurred to me that perhaps the wealthy libs see socialism as inevitable. They are hoping to make a deal to keep their riches when the socs come into power. So they react when there's a complaint from lefties. I believe we're aware of these examples:
1. Nike withdrew shoes because CP said the flag on them represents oppressive times.
2.Laura Ingraham makes fun of that anti-gun student. Companies withdraw their sponsorship.

Apparently, they feel they will lose a lot of customers which affect their bottom line.
