I remember reading a Trotsky paper written in the early 1900's which proclaimed the failure and death of socialism. It was not only convincing, but still is relevant today in the way it exposed the inherent corruption in socialism, including the subjugation of the middle class. It was like it was written by a conservative yesterday.

My point is that socialism was doa 100 years ago?

When in the hell would democrats throw away the greatest national and economic and social achievement in the history of man in favor of a bankrupt philosophy doomed to failure and ultimate destruction at the hands of the people?

Along these lines, I would like to see a Washington DC of constantly new faces, preferably non idealogues. Intelligent, Philosophical patriots who are self made capitalists that come to washington to make an honest contribution to the american people. Men who are fearless and honest, and who expose ALL of those that aren't as unfit to serve. I would like to see a recall process possible (strict conditions) for all of congress. Let the chips fall where they may.
Anything is better than watching pseudo intellectual fascists destroy the country over decades while the congressional opposition serves as an accessory in this crime agaist our god given and constitutional rights.

I dream about a new constitutional convention type meeting where men of good will and honor gather together in order to plan a revolution from the right- a return to our roots.

Good question about why the Democrats would pursue socialism over a system that actually works. Encouraging dissatisfaction with the status quo is usually the only way to energize people to your stated cause, while your real agenda as a socialist is to wrest power from the haves and give it to the deserving of your choice.

They say rape isn't about sex. In the same way, socialism isn't about equality; it's about power.
