I have had several dialogs with loony liberals about this very thing and the amazing thing is they don't think what they advocate is socialism! They don't recognize their own ideology. They use all kinds of euphemisms for it but won't call it socialism.

I even had one write me that "Socialism is an idea that has come and gone, really" and that all those "isms" went out with the second world war. Really?!

And then there are the sheople that just want the "free" stuff and have been conditioned to drool every time a Congreecritter plays the class envy card. And then there are those that play the religion card...they can't get it through their thick, holier than thou, heads that Christ advocated compassion not coercion.

God help US.

I remember back in the Clinton years, Tony Blair spoke to the Socialist International. To paraphrase, he told them, “I am proud to be a socialist. But I am a new, pragmatic kind of socialist. I understand we need a strong, private corporate economy that we can tax to provide the funds for the kind of state services we all want to see provided.”

American lefties are rarely so honest (or smart for that matter).
