Referring to our country as America is the beginning of socialism.

How do you figure?

[Weirdad]

I will give you my answer even though you directed the question at another. It's because these United States of America comprise a free republic in which governmental powers are strictly limited, especially at the "federal" level.

As soon as we start thinking excessively of these United States as a single entity, "America," it feeds the fascist (socialist) notion that "democracy" is our essential characteristic, and in fact feeds the fascist and socialist notion that a simple majority of people at any time may properly vote to do do whatever they want. False, muddled thinking greatly facilitates pulling the wool over the eyes of We the People. Such errors of thinking greatly facilitate the rampant and continuous illegal government behaviors, which accelerated greatly after 1860 and especially because of FDR, that comprise much of the discussion here at Free Republic.
