Bush is basically the only socialist politician we've got. These measure are temporary, if you are talking about partial ownership of the banks. It's just not going to happen.

Think about that .. is it socialism that has taken over the government and our military? .. or is it unabated capitialism in the form of a plutocracy?
It's both. We've got bigger government and crony capitalism. It's a mess.

There will always be social programs voted in by certain types of representatives... but it is not the role of a free government... our freedoms and the right to succeed or fail based on our own decisions, efforts, ability, is key to that liberty... it is not government's job to infringe on the freedoms of one to reward the bad decisions or failure of another

mkwrk2 is an unknown quantity at this point
From Michael Kerjman

Any comprehensive article on a political topic hardly substantiates issues highlighted without reviews on achieved already.

Perhaps, V. Lenin, J. Stalin, Mao Tse Dong, Pol Pot are still among the most noticeable fuhrers then claiming a liberation of working people in countries ruled by “Das Kapital” ultimate admirers.

"Wisdom begins with accepting of the reality" that what, like it or not to, stipulated later working class ideologists to declare local surroundings as "socialism, a first phase of communism".

Factually, it was a far cry from described with this article of, for instance, promises for freedom of associations, et al.

However, exporting working places to a "developing world" while leaving serving a coffee to each other as a major employment luck for own people, questionably stabilises individual opportunities because even the most bright university theories are just theories if not materialised locally, stop short of more grounding financial issues recent state-governed free market developments exemplify.

So, if you get your precious socialism, what are you going to do with it. Be like Europe, where the unemployed masses riot? Where the only way they can keep employers, is by threatening them with massive fines, if they don't follow a strict list of rules. Or go on vacation for 3 months a year.

Be like Russia, where you can't get anything done without a bribe? Where you live in fear of the Mob, or the other Mob (the government).

Socialism is the politics of the lazy. You can dump every ounce of American resources into the welfare hole, and your return on investment will be negative. Because the benefactors of socialism never appreciate what is "given" to them. And will only return with a bigger hand.

Only through earning one's way, will you find value in the food in your mouth, and the shelter over you head. Ever see a section 8 housing resisdent appreciate there domicile?

In school they taught us about McCarthy, finally I'm starting to understand his view after reading the anti-American whitewash spread on this board.

Get a job.
