1. Faux noise is ridiculous
For one thing, I've never been a racist. And I'm relieved if, indeed, the US finally goes socialist.

6. I hear you there
Nothing stops a Republican like having their socialism accusation met with "So? What's wrong with that?"

12. The shift started in the 30s and into the 60s after the Civil Rights Act.
That's how far back they have to reach to make the claim. They got nada. :)

3. Let them believe that
Then maybe they'll wonder why it was that a socialist won after their capitalist failure of the last 25 years.

8. The need to help one another...
Edited on Tue Jan-20-09 05:29 PM by Lost-in-FL
during a time of crisis is part of our evolutionary frame. So yes... we are all socialists at certain points in our lives. The republicans do not know it yet.

16. A truth of irony
One day they will understand it is not entirely inescapable.

And on that day, it's worth reminding them, and not shunning them. For shunning them makes us no better than they were.

11. bwwwaaaahhhh... snort... bwwwaaaahhhhh... woohooo... bwwwwaaaahhh... snort...
... socialism... I love that argument.

So, then the republic party is against the police force, the firemen and the military? All these organizations take taxpayer money and we all share in their services. And, the military even gets health care from taxpayer money. Uh-roh... I love their nonsensical arguments.

14. Bush and the repubes take jobs out of our mouths, regardless of quality, regardless of incentive,
while saying quality and incentive are good things.

They blame consumers for the economic malaise, willfully ignoring corporate tax cuts, corporate subsidy, how living wage pay have not kept up with the cost of living for 30 years (that $50/hr job being of far more worth in 1988 than it does now)... when they don't say the consumer needs to save more, they say the consumer isn't spending enough. For such a small handful of media outlets controlling the lot, the duality coming out of it is amazing - but appreciated in an ironic way. The problem is not just about the American consumer. And they only want to cherrypick.

Why doesn't EVERYONE play fair and get on with things...?

Faux wants to play a game, let's all join in. It's not as one-sided as they always like to make things out to be.
