Thanks for the post of the Malvern article, NP. Drew the cartoon above after coming across this thread.
Liberal Democrats are just communist-lite.
REID MUST RESIGN!!!!!!!!
The religious leaders they will reach are the ones they will crush upon gaining power.
Yep. Those two words ("common good") never cease to send a cold shiver up my spine. Maybe it's because nothing non-catostrophic has ever come from them.
Everyone should help out others, and everyone should contribute to the common good.
But one of the worst ways of accomplishing these objectives is through a government bureaucracy.
The people who are doing the most for the common good of our country and our civilization at the moment are active duty troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The people who are doing least are corrupt government elitists like Kerry, Reid, and Kennedy.
"Are Democrats stepping out of the Socialist/Communist closet?"
They are here in Minnesota. Notice the Soldiers of Solidarity banner right beneath the Minnesota Democratic link and the DSCC link. They're not so quiet about it here.

Pelosi Says Bush’s Failed Economic Policies Are Pillaging Government Coffers
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released a statement denouncing President Bush’s economic policies. “While President Bush continues to trumpet his so-called ‘economic achievements,’ the fact is his wanton tax cuts are pillaging the public treasury,” Pelosi said. “Funds that should rightfully be in the hands of the government have been turned back to private interests under the elitist notion that money belongs to those who’ve earned it.”
“A nation is a social enterprise,” Pelosi continued. “The outputs are the collective property of all. It is the job of congress to use these outputs for the benefit of the nation.”
Pelosi ridiculed what she called “Bush’s naïve theory that profits encourage investment. Profits expropriate the bread created by the working classes. So-called entrepreneurs and investors are just fancy terms for people who are really looters.”
“Democrats will bring a more humane economic policy to the country,” Pelosi promised. “Under our plan, each person will be asked to contribute to the full extent of his or her ability. In return, the government will take care to ensure that each person receives what he or she needs.”
Pelosi characterized the separation between so-called private and public property “an artificial distinction without moral value. Ultimately, all property and income are public. It is shameful that some are permitted to have more than they need while others suffer from want. Given sufficient support by voters this November, we intend to fix that.”
“Democrats propose a New Direction to provide real tax help to hard-pressed families, which will inject demand into our economy, spur economic growth that will produce jobs, and reduce the deficit, and we will do it in a fiscally responsible way.”

Liberals are just fine with mixing politics with religion just so long as you think Jesus was a commie.
Second Thessalonians: "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."
So according to the Democrats, Jesus wants us all to follow his example and be good communists? Somehow I don't think that Jesus' message was to let Big Government take over our lives and do our thinking for us, but I really don't believe that the Democrats mean any of this anyway. Their newfound interest in Christian morality is just one more smelly turd in their already giant, steaming pile of bull****.
I'm always puzzled when libs go off on the "need" to help all those poor people who must number about 87% of the population by their estimates. The fact is the left side of the political spectrum has trillions of dollars in assets. Since the great majority of the "poor" are most likely Dems or Dem sympathizers, why couldn't all the wealthy Dems distribute their largesse to all their needy cohorts?
"progressive" is the most abused word by the left.
Democrats are not progress oriented, they are POWER oriented. Holding BACK progress is the objective of power control freaks like the Democrat Party.
People have been confusing socialism for Christianty for a long time.
It drives me batty when people misuse Christ's words about rendering to Caesar... apparently they have forgotten who Caesar is in our system of government.

Oh that camel and needle analogy... the camel could not get through the needle gate unless his load was removed.
democrats are not confusing socialism with Christianity.
they are intentionally likening the two to each other.
