The problem with you conservatives is that you can't expect to convert people to your way of thinking by spouting a bunch of buzzwords. Socialism might be the ultimate evil to you, but you must remember that this is no longer the 1950s. The USSR collapsed almost 20 years ago.. people no longer live in fear of socialism.

Get with the times.

I suspect all those people who live in fear in socialist nations would disagree with you that no longer fear socialism ... I forgot, mass murder of citizens only matters when it is in a history book about World War II.

Exaggerate much?  Socialism is different than communism, I hate to break it to you.

I guess you're not familiar with South American socialist dictatorships

Key word - Dictatorships.

Yes, dictatorships which evolved from democracies when people abandoned their rights for the promise of "spreading the wealth" ...

What people don't seem to understand is most of these people are worse off because in the process of "Spreading the Wealth" the government scared away people who had wealth, and destroyed a large portion of the existing wealth, and therefore people tended to have less wealth than before it was spread.
