It hasn't work in any country that has ever been or has even come close to practicing the Facism that was espoused by Marx...what makes anyone think it will be any better for America? It has come at us in subliminal ways "just because it is good for us, therefore it will be good for the country" that we haven't noticed or we have let it slide. If my neighbor wants to smoke, eat bacon fat, and drive an SUV...let him..I dont care and neither should the US GOVT.

My, my...where do we start?

Free enterprise will do. Your hero G.W. (porkchop) Bush believes in freely bailing out his fat cat pals (greedy lenders and today his pals at Bear/Stearns) hardly a ringing endorsement of letting the free market system correct itself.I suspect government bailing out the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class is a good business model?

How about bankrupting our country because of outrageous deficit spending? We aren't spending it for the benefit of Americans citizens so I guess it can not be "socialistic" (spending money to benefit our own society)...we all prefer that we spend 12 billion dollars per month in George's cesspool. Sure we do.

Lenin, Marx, Hitler, Stalin Idi Amin all had one thing in common....they ignored the law when it suited them, they used torture on their enemies, they believed that the end justified the means, they used the "big lie" to fool the populace, they pitted the classes and groups against each other....but wait isn't that what Dick and Dumb do?

Socialism is all bad right? If so why don't you send your social security check back and refuse to use medicare when you are old and sick? Put your money where your mouth is if you really believe your paste job.

This is where you are confused YD GWB is neither my hero nor my idol. I am however tired of seeing him getting blamed for everything under the sun. The “buck stops here” statement you like to use …got it… That is a leadership role that must be played at his level however; it really has no validity if you hands are tied by bureaucracy. Now as far as 12 billion dollar a month cost (who really knows?) a majority is trickled right back into the economy i.e. logistical support, production, money spent on government contractors, and the list goes on and on. Yes a portion does not directly come back into the U.S. economy however; with the globalization of the world economy it eventually does come back one way or another. I am not quite sure how a war that has been drudging along since 2001 can constitute the recent U.S. economy downturn (this I would like to hear). I point my fingers to the housing debacle and its ripple effect. Now as far as the “big lie” we have been going over this for months and I am really tired of telling you the same thing…I am waiting for some fresh blogger to ridicule on that one. You are a hard headed YellowDog who can’t get beyond the “Big Lie” conspiracy theory. Give me a while and I will try and break it down Barney style to you again.

YD, I would not give them one penny of my SS checks back ...they stole that money from me fair and square and I will take it back...thank you. How sad I wasn't able to keep every single dollar that was donated to the Social Security Scam and invest it myself.

Socialism has never worked.

Dog please tell me your not in favor for socailism.

Pro if you are in the military now I can guarantee you are in a better place than I was. But I wouldn't ever say that it is still a terrifying expeience. ecspecially when the best you can do is curl up into a ball in 3x3 hole you just dug and prey they don't kill you. And hope like hell you soon hear the helo's because they are bringing more ammo because we had ran out over an hour ago.

You open another can of worms Freak.

Let's suppose that the greedy and stupid used their SS trust(my $$ will be there when I need it) fund to buy 3 "investment houses" or invest in "hedge funds" two years ago (assuming the Dick and Dumb proposal had passed).

Result : We have an additional 20 million people whose brilliant "investments" wiped out their retirement funds.

Result : They are broke with not home or income.

Result : Those of us with a job or who did not waste our $$$ must keep these greedy citizens from freezing or starving (SOCIALISM).

Be careful what you ask for. SS sucks but if you are old and sick what do you have and what is the duty of the society?

If we Left it to the individual to do their own planning our welfare programs would triple in size.

Points well-taken, one and all, my friend.

HOWEVER, (am I am certainly not a biblical scholar) I believe that Jesus (God) would not embrace a philosophy that allow individuals to suck off of the public t!t indefinitely (that expression I learned from my American Government teacher in high school - thanks, Colonel Walker, God rest his soul).

I wholeheartedly believe in compassion for those down on their luck - UP TO A POINT.

But liberal policies over the past seventy years have not only failed to cure poverty, they have created a whole segment of society that believes that "the government" (meaning you and I) owes them a free ride. Somehow, I do not believe in my heart of hearts that this is what Jesus envisioned.

"...if you are hungry you are fed."

That may have worked 2000 years ago. But imagine what that would be like today. Come to think of it, I ALREADY KNOW what it would be like.

If you need medical care, it is provided for you whether you are insured or whether you have money or not. And look what you've got. You've got hospitals like Shands in Gainesville (and I'm sure, everywhere) whose emergency rooms are little more than walk-in clinics for people seeking treatment for free because they know that they'll not be turned away.

But you ARE correct in that determining the "point" is the crux of the problem.

..and YD...if a church is reaching out to feed the hungry and the neighbors don't like the pitiful hungry and homeless in their neighborhood they have no compassion and they will have to answer for their selfish attitudes someday. Homeless and Hungry people aren't very pretty but they are prettier than the one's that want to deny them food for the sake of their beautiful well manicured street and lawns.

BTW RL, your statement...

"God's work is God's and the Government is the Government's."

...was positively brilliant and exceptionally profound.
