  1. I have no idea why the right wants to make a big deal over transgender people. Why can't you stay out of other people's personal business? Also I could care less about Donald Trumps personal business unlike that ass Mueller.

  2.  @SC-ni5me  We want government out of our lives. Stop telling us what to do. The decision on when and with to have children is a personal decision. We don't need your NAZI forced sterilization laws either. Go back to you posion Ivy League school and suck on an egg. You're no better than anyone else.

  3. Imperialist propaganda is constantly feed to the the Americans with lies and exaggerations as true fruit. They came into Korea with their war machinery dropping more bombs in Korea than at the whole time in the Pacific war. Their war mongers wanted to use nuclear weapons and march into China. The used napalm jellied gasoline invented in the US to make DOW Chemical a rich Imperialist war mongering company. They cried because they could not takeover China. At no time did the Korean Patriotic forces use such terrible weapons of war only the Puppet Imperialist Criminal Syngman Rhee under direction of the Imperialist puppet master Truman were such criminal weapons against the Korean people. Never did the Patriotic Korean forces, the People's Liberation Army of China or the Soviet Union use such criminal methods of heavy bombers, carpet bombing and Napalm. The American ruling class is made up of the worst criminals in the world that need to face justice.

  4. Tommy Sotomayor makes white folks feel good about themselves. Given the many white liberal feeling guilty about race it's not a bad hussle. Somehow abusive Black mothers are different than white ones?

  5. You notice that Pinestead gives typical support to US Imperialism with advice to China to flatten North Korea. This shows that the US Imperialist are not happy unless they are continuing their endless war against anyone who challenges their authority and power. He even has the audacity to refer to N Koreans as pollution. This shows that the Imperialists care nothing about human rights but everything their property, domination and control. China provides the US with manufactured goods but what does the US provide in return? Paper promises printed on dollar bills and treasury bonds. This paper has value only while it is accepted as a world reserve currency. Without that acceptance it is as worthless as a confederate dollar.

  6. Waste of time arguing with Bailey it's best to ignore him. Or suggest he go post on porn sites where his real expertise lies. People like him want to change the discussion into the size of his genitalia. Over at the porn sites he can post a picture of himself with a ruler for everyone to ogle at.

  7. This whole Russian interference thing smacks of the old cold war methods of Joe McCarthy. Fourteen secret police agencies say it is true! So if the cops agree than it must be true. LOL.

  8. What you telling me is I should read US propaganda novels. The greatest military leaders of the 20th Century were Leon Trotsky and Fidel Castro. They were able to do the most with the least.

  9.  @u2opia2  Abortion is meant for birth control. It's there if all other methods fail. Obviously if you have an abortion than you will not be giving birth. Most English speaking people would call that birth control.

  10.  @kekelauren6251  Eugenics is the breeding of people for 'desired characteristics' like dog breeds. In NAZI Germany that meant restrictions on Aryan women having abortions and sterilization of those deemed unworthy to procreate also referred to by the fascist as eaters. Forced motherhood is just as much a tool for Eugenics as forced abortions but for abortion or forced motherhood to be used for the purpose of Eugenics there has to be a political coupling between political policy and abortion or forced motherhood beyond conspiracy theory.

  11.  legobuilder 369  Technically most of those are contraceptive methods they prevent conception. None are 100% effective and not all women can use them. That's why abortions are a necessary backup. An ectopic pregnancy can only be treated with a safe abortion there are also reasons for doing 3rd trimester abortions that involve the mother's health. Last time I checked the Alabama legislature is not made up of medical doctors who specialize in gynecology. The AMA says this in their code of medical ethics. Code of Medical Ethics Opinion 4.2.7 The Principles of Medical Ethics of the AMA do not prohibit a physician from performing an abortion in accordance with good medical practice and under circumstances that do not violate the law.

  12.  @SC-ni5me  Tell me about how government is making money in the 'abortion industry'. Government is controlled through the two capitalist party system with legal and illegal corruption. The change in the status of women is bound up with the coming socialist revolution. The fight against the dark age practices of religion is something every worker and union should get on board with because forcing the capitalist government out of women workers lives and our lives in general is a good. It helps us build confidence and prepares us for the next step in the class struggle.

  13. I don't think the ranchers were all that worried about regular taxes but having to worry about losing their land due to the estate tax. Family Farming or Ranching is a 7 day 52 week responsibility. If you what to drive around in the Texas desert chasing cattle more power to you.

  14. The quote "Beacon of the World" is armed to the teeth with all kinds of war weapons exceeding every other nation on the planet. Nukes, Aircraft carriers, Heavy bombers and other weapons. Harry Truman himself called the Korean war a police action. The scream about possible bloodbaths while they go on and create real bloodbaths everywhere they intervene. "Operation Speedy Express" in Vietnam is just one well known example. The win their wars by murdering civilians with the most horrible methods.

  17. My cousin is closeted gay conservative single mother who adopted 4 children of which 3 are non white. I have respect for her because she gave those children a home they otherwise wouldn't have. How many of these Pro Birthers (pro Life) have done that? How many have opened their home to even one orphan?

  18. Stay out of it then. Congress has no right to impose a settlement the right to strike is protected by the 1st and 14th Amendment. Get rid of the Railway "slave" Labor Act.

  24. This Trump Russia thing is just a new cold war rivalry invented by liberals who want Trump out at all costs. The old secret policeman Putin has more in common with Mueller and Comey the ones who had J Edgar Hoover's job. Hoover's FBI ran Mission Impossible tactics against the Socialist Workers Party breaking in without Guns or Badges at night and sworn to secrecy. Don't tell me that the FBI has changed otherwise Hoover's name would be on the FBI building. The FBI even sent ML King a suggestion he kill himself or be outed for infidelity.

  30. Do the history books also include that the Russian communists in 1917 were left to clean up the mess started by the first world war in 1914 or that Mao's peasant Army drive out the Japanese Imperialist war criminals during the second world war. That Fidel Castro drove out a hate dictator imposed by Washington on Cuba? Or are they mostly written by Monday morning quarterbacks sitting safe and sound in elite American University Chairs. How about that famous 'Quilt of Genocide' in Cuba that turned out with everyone alive or having died of natural causes. How about "Operation Speedy Express" where the US Army claimed 10,889 NLF soldiers dead with 748 weapons seized. They were too stupid to realize they were reporting a civilian massacre by their own Troops.

  31. Tens of millions killed according to history books written with exaggerated propaganda. NLF hiding or NLF part of the recognized people's government vs. a military dictatorship which murdered its way to power and was imposed by the US when Diem's regime with his brother as head of the secret police was no longer useful. Or how about the South Korean mercenaries brought in who would take over a village line everyone up and kill every third person. The South Vietnam government relied upon the United States as its only real ally and was imposed by Washington after the French were kicked out. The US calculated that the Japanese Imperialist government collaborators including Emperor Boa Dai would lose the treaty agreed to election with the French after the Viet Minh had defeated them at Dien Bien Phu. So that's why they entered the situation and canceled the election later holding a referendum making Diem the governor of an 'independent' South Vietnam. The reason the Yugoslav, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese revolutions were lead by communists is because the former collaborators and pro US politicians were tied to the losing German and Japanese Imperialist regimes and the Communists were the leadership of the nationalist guerrilla partisans. If Stalin did anything it was to try and hand these revolutions back to his WW2 partner made agreements with the US and Britain. (In Greece he was successful.) Only after the US and Britain started the cold war did he change his mind and start to provide some aid. The 'end of communism' was just the end result of what happens when a corrupt group of bureaucrats takes power and keep themselves in power with less and less mass support and in the Soviet case by murdering their loyal party dissenters to gain total power. The Cuban revolution, lead by communists of the 26th of July movement, outside of the official stalinist party (Popular Socialist Party) and internationalists instead of socialism in one country stalinists makes its history much different. No need for murderous purges or tanks in the streets of Havana. Unlike China they will not open a stock market, allow foreign investment with little control if any control at all, and allow the development of a new wealthy national business class based upon ownership of formerly large state enterprises. Allowing families to open restaurants and people to have professions is not industrial capitalism. The Cuban people want that and their government has responded to their desires. You don't think they're going to fall for the phoney Milt Friedman/Yeltsin plan to make workers "real owners" by issuing tradeable shares to each worker that can then be sold to create a new wealthy class of factory owners? You will note a movement currently in Russia against corruption and against suppression of speech has a dynamic going against Russian capitalism as represented by Putin not for it.

  32. Why were there so many defectors from Cuba? The old middle class did not retain its privileges and a socialist revolution makes only the beginning of socialist society possible and in poor countries that are the easiest to break off also have the most difficult developmental problems to deal with. Trade war, military threats, invasion plots, terrorist actions and promise of automatic US green card status all work against the revolution. Some people just can deal with the 'stress'. From the beginning Fidel has said the building of socialism is a voluntary act not something imposed from above. The overall policy of the Cuban government has been if you want to leave good bye. The US policy has always been one of how do we defeat the revolution? Encourage people to leave but then not provide a way for them to go. Dry Foot Wet Foot policy. The US government has a stated official by law policy of forbidding most trade with Cuba and trying to even impose its blockade on non US companies. When the Bolshevik government came to power in Russia Winston Churchill's first remarks were it must be strangled in its cradle. The general policy of all imperialist governments has always been to 'contain communism' obviously you must want to 'contain it' for a reason? That reason is it might turn out to be successful and with Marx saying let them tremble at a the prospect of communist revolution I guess that's what they do.

  35.  @AndyC1  You want to talk murder. How about murder USA in Yemen? Real live people dying doesn't bother you a bit but a dead fetus get you all work up. How hypocritical. The US government including the state of Alabama has no standing to accuse anyone of murder when they kill at the drop of a hat. Like they say RIGHT TO LIFE YOUR NAMES A LIE!!! YOU DON"T CARE IF WOMEN DIE!!! The real name of this law should be The 2019 ALABAMA WOMEN'S BODY CONTROL AND DEATH PENALTY ACT. Because real women will needless lie die of botched illegal abortions. They will overwhelming be young and come from all walks of life. The will seek help from criminals and they will die in cheap motel rooms. Totally needless deaths promoted by the same people who gave you Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Yemen.

  36. If murder is wrong in Alabama why do the have the death penalty? Teaching people not to murder by murdering them. Now the want to teach women not get pregnant with unwanted children by forcing them to have unwanted children.

  37.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  May 1st in Havana another another show of mass support for the Cuban government by the Cuban workers and farmers and a defeat for the US Imperialists and their lackeys.

  38.  @ursusalincardososuarez4286  Cuba holds elections for the Assemble of Peoples Power just because they don't elect those who want American Imperialist running everything and a return to unrestrained capitalism doesn't make it a dictatorship. The workers and farmers vote voluntarily for the representatives that they nominate.

  39.  @eew8060  RIGHT TO LIFE YOUR NAMES A LIE!!! YOU DON'T CARE IF WOMEN DIE!!! The 2019 Alabama Women's Body Control and Death Penalty Act. This bill will restart the Back Alley Illegal Abortions for Young Women. She was always such a good honest Church going girl. Her family was planing for college and she was saving up her Babysitting money. Now her family is planning a funeral. She didn't have to die for a single mistake.

  40.  @christopherdraper5815  No child goes hungry, without a home, clean cloths and school in Cuba. They don't have orphanages because they have a socialist culture.where no one is left behind or lost in the shuffle like in the capitalist countries including the US Empire.

  45.  @honkymonkey9568  I would seek medical advice for what to do not a policeman, politician or a preacher. None of those other people like politicians, policemen or preachers can provide full protection of anything anyway. The best a preacher can do is wave his hands and say a prayer, the politician is good at sounding politically correct and the policeman can club the bad guy. . . .

  46.  @jimmayors2315  By imposing a contract it is denying the rail workers equal protection of the laws. Its a forced labor contract that violates the 13th Amendments prohibition on slavery except as the punishment for a crime. The 14th Amendment was passed to prevent slavery by contract.

  47. Interesting but it seems that the article left out whatever parts they were actually talking about. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't include electronics manufactured by US based companies such as Intel or AMD. China being a capitalist country has lots of corruption so what goes across the border probably undergoes little inspection. Machine tools are also a necessity for modern manufacturing.

  48. Regardless of what kind of government is in Moscow and Peking neither want to be looking across the Korean border and seeing US Marines. As to the talk about China bringing Troops to the border for refugee control that's a conservative estimate. They could very well be waiting for a request from Kim jong Un for assistance. The Russian's have brought up Tanks and Troops to their 11 mile border. You don't really believe they have brought up tanks for refugee control do you? Will North Korea really blast Seoul if war breaks out or is the artillery there for show only with the real plan being to send North Korean commandos to attack the US command base in Seoul. In Seoul they've had six republics since 1948. After months of anti corruption protests the previous President left office in disgrace less than a year ago. Coup d'etat is a French word but South Korea has chosen it as a way of government.

  49. Why should China stop trading with North Korea? Just because Trump rattles a saber? US uses threats and tries to stave it opponents into submission. I wouldn't be surprised to find US parts in North Korean missiles. After all many items are traded on the world market and may be traceable back to their manufactures but not traceable through their distributors. US refused to allow China its seat at the UN for 25 years do you think the Chinese people are afraid of US threats? The Russians helped North Korea build and supply their first reactor. After that all you need is the common form of Uranium U 238 exposed to a neutron source like what you would find in a reactor to create plutonium. In fact all those depleted Uranium shells fired off from US tanks in their 'Gulf War' would be a fine source of U-238.
