THe Right has their anarchists also. They are called the Tea Party Libertarians. The ONLY true Socialist in office is my hero, Bernie Sanders. He is the only Democratic Socialist in either the House or the Senate. I believe there is or was a city in the United States who elected a Communist for Mayor.
There isn't even a group call "Tea Party Libertarians. Libertarians are constitutionalists. SO, the post you wrote is patently untrue. In fact, that post is a partisan lie. Not surprised. So you're a socialist.... He's not the only socialist in Congress...the dem party is full of 'em. American Socialists Release Names of 70 Congressional Democrats in Their Ranks What's your point?
I am a Socialist in the fact that I believe that social programs have their place in a society as long as they are not abused. They are there to help citizens in times of need. They should never be a program for people to stay on permanantly. I believe we need a mixture of social programs and capitalism. Both should be monitored to prevent abuse by those participating in them. Despite what most conservatives believe, there is a difference between Democratic Socialism and old soviet style socialism/communism.
It's also the fear mongering of GOP calling FDR a socialist. It's also the fear mongering of Senator McCarthy targeting liberals. It's also the fear mongering of HUAC and Nixon. It's also the fear mongering of racists calling Martin Luther King Jr, a communist. It's also the fear mongering of GOP reprsentaives, getting dented by Obama, during the health care debate. It's the fear mongering of countless people, and it doesn't work.
There was a study done a ways back, and from my experience of this site...it's results generally do coorelate. They found, that people likely to call themselves conservative, are better than people who call themselves liberals, at assessing threats. The liberals seemed to be better at negotiating complex issues. Kind of like conservatives are like Captain Kirk, and liberals are like Captain Picard. Both have thier advantages.
When you are paranoid about everything, you are bound to be right about threats once in a while. President Obama seems to handle external threats better than President Bush did.
Dangerous, yes. We have checks and balances to prevent a petty dictator like him from behaving as a king. But Congress is NOT enforcing them.
Get yer facts straight. Joe Mack was targeting communists who infiltrated the FDR administration and the congress alike. It just so happened that many if not all of those commies were indeed liberals. You can call that fear mongering, but I'll call it aggressive CIA type work to keep our nation free from the commie threat--which was in total the reason for our vigilance on these matters during the cold war period of our history.
Joe make political hay of the whole thing, granted, but he was right. Commies have been trying to take control for almost a hundred years, and incrementally, they're getting there. Time to turn that back. The Constitution is what this country is built on. It matters. Commies, Marxists, socialists, progressives....****. I'll fight you til the day I die. I won't go away.
I think you might be misunderstanding something. I'm not introducing any of them as the truth of the matter, but rather that is was said. Your post only renforced my claim.
He rescued our country from the rightwing Norquistians who are bound and determined to have a Mexico-style economy right here in the USofA.
WHAT??? You think things were worse because of Bush than they are now because of Obama? That's just nuts! Look at my avatar for an example of how ridiculous that sounds!
You're (*)(*)(*)(*) f***ing right it does! And, it will hurt even worse for all of us if people such as yourself let him win again! GOODBYE EVEN MORE OF OUR FREEDOMS! OBAMA WON AGAIN! Is that you? You like that? I wish I could lock everyone of you up for treason.
Hahaha....you say Norquistians as if there is something wrong with that. Which is it that you don't like phoebe? the part about not increasing the income tax rates for individuals and businesses, orrrr not losing your ability to have deductions and credits on your tax return? Which one of those phoebe do you not approve of? We are close to having mexicans economy, and it has nothing to do with republicans, certainly not the type you have stated. Get real, open your eyes!
What happened KK? I answered your question five pages ago and you disappeared. Now you're back and yet you've not responded to the answers I provided you. Did you not like what you read?
Obama is a below average president that will leave this nation in worst shape than when he first came into office. Example is the national debt, 10.5 trillion upon entering office, today 18.5 trillion and counting. Obama has mortgaged this nation's future for the present.
