We have no choice. The media and the GOP elite have seen to that. Socialism under Hussein or Hillary, or socialism under Captain Queeg. All 3 are liberals committed to higher taxes and an ever more powerful federal government. McCain will rob us of our rights just as surely as Hillary or Hussein.
“Socialism is the incremental takeover of society by its rulers
Communism is socialism at gunpoint. Communists are socialists in a hurry”-— unknown
To answer the question of the heading: F%#k NO
Excellent post, except for the reference to the ‘08 election (I assume you mean Presidential). Too late this time: At this time in the election cycle I can’t support anyone who is going to draw a minority of votes that potentially allows Obama to win.
What are we supposed to do since both the Republican and the Democratic candidates for POTUS are really socialists along with many other politicians at every level?
“Socialism; say Yes or No”
NO.
One point about an item in your article.
People CHOOSE to purchase homes in subdivisions with HOAs. Thus, they have already, and voluntarily, answered “Socialism YES”. AFTER you settle on a house or property is the WRONG time to decide that you don’t like having someone else tell you what color your front door must be.
The ansewer is simple: Study carefully and DON’T buy a house or property anywhere where there is an HOA or POA. If enough people followed that advice, the HOA would Go Away!
I honestly wish someone would point blank ask McCain if he believes America needs a larger central government.
This is not the Nation we inherited from our parent’s generation....
And more to the point...Why the hell are so many people trying to change it to socialism? If you want socialism move to Canada or Europe! There are way to many Americans who will not accept socialism. It will not work unless both parties stamp out individual freedoms, then it’s another civil war......
What do the Communists want you to believe is inevitable Communism or socialism?
If you study Marx' Communist Manifesto you will find that in essence Marx said the proletarian revolution would establish the SOCIALIST dictatorship of the proletariat. To achieve the SOCIALIST dictatorship of the proletariat, three things would have to be accomplished:
(I) The elimination of all right to private property;
(2) The dissolution of the familv unit; and
(3) Destruction of what Marx referred to as the "opiate of the people," religion.
Marx went on to state that when the dictatorship of the proletariat had accomplished these three things throughout the world, and after some undetermined length of time ..... the all powerful state' would miraculously wither away and state socialism would give way to Communism.
But first, all Communists must work to establish SOCIALISM. The drive to establish SOCIALISM, not Communism, is at the core of everything the Communists and the Insiders do.
Marx and all of his successors in the Communist movement have ordered their followers to work on building SOCIALISM.
Harvard socialist Dr. Arthur Schlesinger has said:
"The chief liberal gains in the past generally remain on the statute books when the conservatives recover power liberalism grows constantly more liberal, and by the same token, conservatism grows constantly less conservative…"
Walter Trohan, columnist emeritus for the Chicago Tribune and one of America's outstanding political commentators, has accurately noted:
"It is a known fact that the policies of the government today, whether Republican or Democratic, are closer to the 1932 platform of the Communist Party than they are to either of their own party platforms in that critical year. More than 100 years ago, in 1848 to be exact, Karl Marx promulgated his program for the socialized state in the Communist Manifesto…"
And Mr. Trohan has also been led to believe that the trend is inevitable:
(The last two sentences have been corrected to portray the 2008 election, not the election results of 1968 which these were written about in 1971.)
Conservatives should be realistic enough to recognize that this country is going deeper into socialism and will see expansion of federal power, whether Republicans or Democrats are in power. The only comfort they may have is that the pace will be slower under Richard M. Nixon John Sydney McCain than it might have been under Hubert H. Humphrey Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama…
Conservatives are going to have to recognize that the Nixon McCain Administration will embrace most of the socialism of the Democratic administrations, while professing to improve it…

The Amerikan Idle generation doesn't care either.
You have the options presented incorrectly. The real choice is between MarxismX2 or Socialism.
