Some random thoughts on socialism:

LBJ started the war on poverty over 40 years ago, the Feds have spent billions of dollars, and guess what...POVERTY won.

Socialism guarantees one thing Equal Poverty for all.

Ben Franklin said in 1766"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it, in my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And on the contrary, the less was done for them,the more they did for themselves,and became the richer."

Gunner, I take it from your posts that you are a bit surprised that a conservative has enough intelligence to spell socialism. Very elitist view of the stupid people that dare to have a different opinion.

Excaliber, the overall tone of your argument is the basic Liberal mindset, people are not smart enough to handle their own life, 401k for example, so we need the government to do it for us. You tell fstd he is being sensational, why don't you take a couple of the accusations he made and tell us where he is wrong.
