HELP, HELP! SOCIALISM IS UPON US!

@Amy: It's a 'local' problem to you if someone has been raping grandmothers in my home state for a year and has thousands of people terrorized and I'm telling you that it's everyone's problem if we all want to be citizens of the same country and the Texas DPS ought to be able to call me and a couple thousand retired deputies from all over the country to come down there and solve that 'local' problem the same way we do with wildfires. Except it has never been called Socialism because it isn't. It is MUTUAL AID. We turn out to help each other. We used to anyway.

So you think that if we are losing our jobs and our homes it's simply because no one solution works for everyone so we ought to pretend it's not happening and send the aid to Haiti instead of New Orleans. And I have to tell you that the times, they are a-changin'. We better start taking care of our own country while we still have one.

I don't know where you got 'Socialism' on the brain but that seems to be the exciting new fear everyone has. Maybe I am missing something. Would you mind telling me what Socialism is? Would that be like the government owning nothing, and owing twelve TRILLION dollars and no one having a job and the government can't do anything at all to stop the economy from failing and there is nothing to 'socialize' because we out-sourced it all overseas?

Even our one attempt at socialism...SOCIAL SECURITY.. is failing.

We aren't going to socialize medicine. That was a joke from the start, just like the climate change bill. It might have been a good idea years ago, but now it's going nowhere. We have no money left to implement it.

"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts... the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
