CMan: "We know that socialism has not or will not work by looking at history." Whether you state this identical idea forwards or backwards it is still a profoundly ignorant statement on many levels and I believe that both of you are oblivious to that.

Get used to losing. It is the fate you both are embracing. The reason people here ridicule you is that you deserve it.

Don: “There has never been a success of a socialists society. That we do know.”

CMan: “We know that socialism has not or will not work by looking at history.”

Whether you state this identical idea forwards or backwards it is still a profoundly ignorant statement on many levels and I believe that both of you are oblivious to that. There is a reason why they call you dittoheads.

“the republicans over reached”

There is a reason the Democrats won.

Look in the mirror. People like you represent Republicans.

Great Job!

Could it be they over reached? Just like the republicans over reached and now have lost power to the democrats. Will the democrats over reach again. I'd say they have a hell of a good start! Power certainly is intoxicating, isn't it y'all? You know, if both political parties could win back power, and then not try to punish the other side as their first priority, we may make some gains in this country. If the agenda that's being pushed right now under the new administration is any indication of where we're headed, be ready of the pendulum to start swinging back the other way. Here's hoping.

Are the rest of us unable to grasp the intricacies and nuances of GOP political philosophy? Is it just to complex for common folk to get?

About that socialistic failure rate of countries... so like Norway, Sweden and Canada are such socialistic hell-holes they all have a higher standard of living than we do as well as a lower birth mortality rate? What measurement are you using... lost tax dollars in useless wars? lost lives in useless wars? how many Republicans can dance on a pinhead politician?

Don Huizenga,

“I have little tolerance for people who do nothing but make ridiculous comments on the internet…while never reaching out and doing something useful for the community or your party.”

Are you assuming that I don’t?

Seems to me we all own it. We all live it. We all embrace it in America. It is what I participate in every day, gladly. Your Republican legislated narrow definition of capitalism, laissez-faire capitalism, has failed. If you fail to recognize that, then wonder why the Republican party is completely in shambles, then your ignorance is going to assure a Democratic majority for a long, long time. You can pin a mischaracterization of "socialism" on people you disagree with, that's fine. You can call us fascist socialist marxist leftist acornist obamaists too. Your misleading name calling just makes you all look like out of touch buffoons, and that's also fine with me. That's why I say to you, C"Rush", and your new master race buddy, "Great Job". Check those poll numbers for your reality check. Just what is it that makes Republicans so unpopular? Look in the mirror when you ask that. Since when do Republicans own the term “capitalism”?

We know that socialism has not or will not work by looking at history. I commend you on your determination to reason with those who can't be reasoned with (in my opinion) on this site. We need more conservatives to make their voices heard here. It was also great to see you at the 2009 Tax Rally yesterday at the capitol. I thank you for your contribution to the event. Sometimes I try to picture the individuals that write here. Now I can put a face to your name.

LOL! I can take some pride in that. I appreciate your continued psychoanalysis, and I feel badly that I cannot reimburse your for your time. My ideas have failed? This country was founded on republican free market, capitalistic ideals. To say they have recently failed would be more accurate, but to say that the system as a whole has failed is not correct. There has never been a success of a socialists society. That we do know. I do many other things in my spare time. Mostly volunteer work...so hanging out in a park, or fishing, is not my cup of tea as it is non-productive kinetics. You like it? Fine. I wont razz you about it. I expect the same in return.
