And this is news?

[Prokopton]

Why wouldn't socialists work together?

[twonie]

Didn't take long for the vultures to come around, did it.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I just bet they are...

"Socrates said Dean's Democrats "should know that they can count on European Socialists" for support."

What a comfort this is to me. I will sleep better knowing this (sarc)

...Europe's strategic alliance with the United States ...

Sounds more like a suicide pact to me.

"We are not anti-American, we want the real America, your America," former Danish Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, president of the European Socialist Party, said in remarks directed at Dean.

Listen Mr. POS Prime Minister, don't you DARE tell me I'm not a "real" American.

[Shermy]

"We are not anti-American, we want the real America, your America,"

Translation:

We are anti-American, and only the "left" speaks for "Europe." P.S., give us money for our carbon credits.

[Ben Mugged]

Maybe they want the demorats to tell them the secret of how to lower the unemployment rate.

[nuconvert]

Lol. What a headline!
Says all anyone needs to know!

[Truth29]

Where's the barf alert? Also, this sounds like a call by euro socialists to help undermine the rest of Europe.

[avacado]

"Socrates said Dean's Democrats "should know that they can count on European Socialists" for support."

What kind of support!?

[Williams]

I would say the average American is as ignorant as a stump about what is really going on, how this world works, what the left agenda really is, etc.

And the more divorced we become from reality, the harder will be the fall.

[Irontank]

We can't just blame the Democrats

Get ready for amnesty for 15-20 million illegals and a raise of the cap on income subject to payroll taxes (both of which our Republican President supports and will sign into law)...this will lay the groundwork for nationalized healthcare and further government expansion and tax increases

after all...after amnesty, we will have 15-20 million more citizens living in poverty and without health insurance...the government has to do something for them, right?

America is well on the road to socialism and has been since 1913...thanks to both parties

[Michael Bluth]

Europe's socialists have never forgiven Americans for electing George W. Bush (or Ronald Reagan, for that matter)

And, when we elected a Republican Senate AND House of Representatives, their hatred for us grew.

They also think we are nuts because we actually rejected "Hillarycare".

I, for one, DO NOT want to end up like the French or the Germans or any of the rest of "Old Europe".

[RoadTest]

"European Socialists eager to work with U.S. Democrats"

That should read: "European Socialists eager to work with U.S. Socialists" "Democrat" is a euphemism.

[Edgerunner]

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, again and again and again...Socialists only control, they do not generate money. They are leaches on productivity and will never succeed in their quest for a utopia...only free people can live in harmony. People will not wake up until it's too late...

[Caipirabob]

My ongoing debate over Socialists: Are they worth a "double tap" or would you waste the extra bullet?

[Casio]

Of course. Because the democrats ARE socialists. They just got smart enough not to name themselves socialists.

This is a lost cause. For decades now America slides toward socialism, bit by bit. They cheat, lie, do anything to achieve the big goal. They are right when they claim that "we are not anti-americans", they just happened to be anti-current-americans". They will name the country the same, even when it will be socialism here. Nothing can be done. The majority of the voters in the long run will always fall for the "free this" and "free that" and "we will tax the rich", because they don't realize that most of THEM also be considered "rich". The same crap is going on for decades. When the conservatives get in for a brief period of time, the media starts to pour all available verbal poison, enough in four years to mislead the majority. And then they (socialists) get into power again and continue to build the socialism. Every time the right gets in, by then all things slid more to the left, what they could push back to the right.

There is no stopping. USA will be pretty much socialist in a couple of decades, then it will take a century to figure out that it was wrong. Or who knows, maybe that generation won't even know that it used to be much better. I am glad I will be dead by then.
