if you believe in social security, you are a socialist Rino. Ditto for minimum wages, wage and hour laws, worker’s comp laws, child labor laws, FDA, social security, medicare, etc. Believe in those you and you are a socialist.

Well, duh. Most of these (though not child labor, at least) are socialist, by any decent definition of socialism. They are manifestations of violence on a mass scale. You think it's OK to take money from me & my family, at gunpoint, to give it to others you deem more deserving. Call it whatever you want, it's still a monstrous evil.

Sloth it comes down to this, both parties pols are promising to make goverment take care of the people. Libertarians are the only ones who say that the government shouldnt be in that business. I think that is an idea that libertarians should shout to the rafters.
