Gumint? Oh, that's right that's a slang word insinuating that anti-socialists are all rednecks who contradict themselves. All Americasn pay into Medicare all their lives and still continue to have it deducted out of their SS checks after they retire. How is that socialism?

What's the difference? The all mighty capitalists have taken over the US and the top 1% run it for their benefit causing a lifetime of debt for most citizens. If capitalism is so good then why do we have huge numbers of homeless, 50% of veterans homeless, children going hungry, elders choosing food or medicine and more while Wall St posts record gains?

Where is it coming from that we must be like some doomed nation like Germany or a country that feeds on our table scraps like Canada ?
Seriously?

Gee, I would think that you would pointing to a country like Greece... but Canada and Germany? Canada completely slipped through the recession unscathed and Germany remains Europe's economic powerhouse. That being the case I can only pray that the U.S. fails and becomes more like them.

So you agree that the New Deal programs are not socialism? Or its not socialism when conservatives themselves are sucking on the gubmint teet? Then what are the TeaPartiers are up in arms about?

Then what do you call it when Conservatives do exactly the same thing. Sadly you actually believe one side is different from the other.
