A new Gallup survey found 43% of Americans now have a positive view of socialism. That's the first time the number has topped 39% since Gallup started tracking it in 2010.

Among Democrats, it's 65%. Eight years ago it was 57%. That’s a whopping two out of every three Democrats, my friends.

These folks have been convinced by ignorant elites and professional deceivers that the problem lies with America herself.

But that’s simply not true.

The problem is the way in which they’ve been told to pursue the American Dream.

Here’s what they’ve been told:

And when all of this proves to be harder and less fulfilling than they expected, they're disillusioned.

So they have to find a scapegoat. Mom and Dad. The Founding Fathers. Maybe they get angry at God. Or their spouse. Or their kids.

And, of course, blame free market capitalism.

There is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing dreams in life.

But there is something wrong when we lose track of our priorities.

The American Dream is having the freedom to pursue the opportunities you choose. To set your own priorities. To live your life as you see fit. And to have the opportunity to build wealth, own property, and improve the lives of the next generation.

But there are no guarantees. And we aren't entitled to anything.

We also shouldn't believe that chasing these things will ultimately fulfill us. Truth is, the thing humanity craves above all else is intimacy with God.

And I can't help but wonder how much better off we'd all be if we lived as though we believed that.

Barack Obama says that even when he was president, he sometimes fantasized about putting women in charge of every government for about two years and seeing how things went.

Weird fantasy, but we’ve come to expect that from the left.

Obama admitted things wouldn't be perfect, but thought they'd be better. He said he's confident about that. He said this on Monday at Salem State University in Massachusetts, in a conversation with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.

As I listened to this, I was reminded of how much the Radical Left hates masculinity.

There are a myriad of reasons for this. One is that they've been radicalized by feminism and they believe men are the problem with everything in the world.

There have been bad men, no doubt. But there have been plenty of good men, too.

Men and women have their own unique strengths. In general, men build things. And women make the things men build warmer and better.

Men build houses. Women turn them into homes.

Truth be told, men are motivated to build a lot of what they build for women.

Good men cherish women. Protect women. Love women. Sacrifice for women.

They also lead women.

Pretending that women are universally better at running nations is a wild take.

Men are far from perfect. But you know what? So are women! Shocking, I know.

Instead of concluding ridiculous things like Obama has here — acting as though women are superior to men in every measurable way — how about we just appreciate our differences and recognize that God knew what He was doing when He created men and women.

Turns out His plan and design is a lot better than whatever leftists and beta men come up with in the 21st century.

Leftist streamer Hasan Piker says he wants "Chinese-style communism" inside the Democratic Party. He called for a "cultural revolution," aimed it at Chuck Schumer and the party's "anti-revolutionary" members, and said, "I will throw you in prison."

Nice.

But if he wants to do that to members of, what do you think he wants for people like you and me?

It's remarkable to me that this lunatic and his fan club of angry, morally bankrupt followers will, in their very next breath, tell us that Republicans are Nazis.

But who are the people calling for Nazi tactics? Who justifies political violence? Who mocks the death of Charlie Kirk?

Who got #WrongTrump trending when President Trump's brother died? Who hopes the would-be Trump assassin would've taken more target practice? And who said “America deserved 9/11?”

Fortunately, Piker doesn't speak for the entire Democrat Party. But he does speak for a larger percentage of it than I want to admit.

We have to accept that there is no compromise with these people, my friends. And that isn't our fault.

You cannot compromise with people who want to throw you behind bars for disagreeing with them — or worse.

The only way to deal with this is to defeat these folks politically. Decisively and humiliatingly so.

Somebody has to win this cold civil war, my friends. There is no other alternative. And I don't have any intention of losing.

More than 4 in 10 Americans now have a positive view of socialism, according to Gallup. We discuss on the Toddcast — and I play audio from a young woman explaining how college turned her into an angry, woke leftist, and how she got out.

I also get into why the left wants a new Bill of Rights listing what the government must give you, how entertainment and education nudge people left, and a little about how God communicated with Moses in the Book of Exodus.

Breitbart — The write-up I read from at the top of the program, with the party splits.

Gallup — The survey itself: socialism 43%, capitalism 55%, free enterprise 77%, small business 95%.

Instagram — The video I played on the program: in her own words, how college classes made her an angry leftist, and how she got out.

The American Presidency Project — Franklin Roosevelt's 1944 message to Congress proposing a "second Bill of Rights," the original version of the list of things the government must provide.

Exodus 16 — The grumbling in the desert, the manna and the quail, from the chapter our family study is in right now.

The mornings have turned cool around here and I can only imagine how good you’d look sporting this very seasonal and stylish long-sleeve tee.

Show the world you’re not part of the problem. You are part of the conservative, not bitter solution.
