    Mostly the middle class, yes. But they think they are the only reason that America has succeeded, therefore they justify their failures with their successes (investing in/raping 3rd worlders).

    Socialist is too kind of a word. I prefer the term "Bolshevik"

    That will make it all that much worse actually...

    Don't you just love it when liberals scream and use the racist card when they can't have their way?

    What he said.

    Overall socialism is not the answer. Setting the free markets loose is.

    1) John Galt is an inspiration towards my goals if you have read my short bio :D
    2) Im advocating the 'new' socialism as i had quoted '' keep the right people in the right place '' im not to sure if i had said that but i use my phone and its a pain to go back and check.
    3) I will take all this in this thread into consideration for my school and above. I guess I surround myself with same-minded people.

    No, it isn't. If Government was meant to be "unified", we'd have imposed a Monarchy.

    We need a Socialist president who will not play golf more often than the Imperialist president he replaced.

    We need a Socialist president who is able to restrain himself from kissing and bowing before Monarchs, and most importantly, no more close up photography kissing Chavez.

    We need a Socialist president who is not a Millionaire, and has no connection with Bilderbergers, or Goldman Sachs.

    We need a Socialist president who will abide by the Constitution. Therefore, the first order of business after he gets elected will be to renounce that he is a Socialist., and is instead an Adam Smith regulated free market Capitalist, not a Corporatist bowing to Military Industrial Complex., and signing laws that violate the 4th amendment.

    Political terms confuse me, because they're most often hijacked. according to most, we have a socialist in the white house since 2008. I firmly believe that only leadership which was elected not thru mainstream media will liberate our society - everything on television is complete filth as far as politics.

    Sure, if that plan is to make government smaller you're absolutely right.

    partly agreed, the country has moved too extreme to capitalism in the last 30 years, it needs socialists for the next 30 years to balance

    Why do you oppose individual liberty and personal choice?

    And how have the policies of this current socialist-in-chief worked out for America these past 3 years? Wow, some of you need some good old electric shock therapy to snap you out of that state of denial that is obviously damaging your brain cells.

    What?
    When might the NDP have formed any sort of federal government here?

    Amusing.

    America...you already have a somewhat socialist government.
    You have had for decades.
    The problem is...you continuously shoot yourselves in the foot.
    You have some nice social programs, but you refuse to fund them with proper taxation.

    I believe its the word "Socialism" that scares most of you, more than the actual act.

    We need a government, period. The clowns pretending to be "the government" must be replaced. Each and every man, woman and yes, child. The "government" is useless, ineffective, incapable of any sort of accomplishment that benefits the republic. Even if we decide to embrace socialism, or remain a capitalist system, we can't allow the present batch of misfits to continue to "lead us".

    Sure, that would be effective, but it also means that the US government gonna give all its power to one man, a dictator to achieve all this. And here comes the problem, why would some give up such power?

    What are you talking about, John Galt is alive and well and I ran into him the other day at one of Mitt Romney's campaign stops.

    John Galt would never allow himself be associated with Romney.
