Chaos and failure continue on Zimbabwe farms
A reminder for those of you who are so inclined to go to www.noonprop8.com and participate. Focus on the Family, and the Mormon church have poured tons of $$ into the Yes on Prop 8 in California which if it passes will set back civil rights for gays for years. It will put into the state constitution legalized discrimination against a group of people based upon who they are. If that isn't un-American then I don't know what is!
Obama: Sir, I am not George Bush. If you want to run against George Bush, you should have done it four years ago. Oh, wait! You did and you lost.....
McCain: *eyes twitching* *nashing of teeth*
Instead of swarthy, feckless and rude private debt collectors delinquent consumers will soon be faced with the IRS or something strikingly similar and powerful collecting delinquent debt with all the tools provided by law.

If we truly did not want socialism, we would not build rural roads to farms where a couple people live, because the costs "don't pencil out." Everyone pays for those rural roads even though the farmer's gas tax money doesn't come close to paying for the road. There are countless examples where some people pay more taxes and get fewer services.
Its all part of "building a more perfect union." Wake up! There's no free lunch. Government services cost money.
"1. No one anymore knows what "socialism" is. Oh, sure, you and I know what socialism is, but the days when the right could point to the Soviet Union or some other giant example are history. So normal people hear "sharing the wealth is bad" and it's like, huh? They don't think Stalin, they think that since we're sharing our wealth with these schmucks, maybe we, too, could use a piece of that. The argument misfires because it has no substantive object anymore. "Share the wealth," "redistribution of wealth," and "socialism" talk only to a rightwing base: it is an historical argument, stirring up fears about something that, except in Cuba and a couple other places, simply doesn't exist. And that neatly seques into:
2. Normals know Obama is no communist, excuse me, socialist, not by a long shot, The charge is totally off the wall, dishonest, really weird with a beard. Worse, it ratchets up hateful, fearful rhetoric to McCarthyite levels when the last thing this country needs is another completely vacuous distraction from the very real problems we simply must confront.."
"Castro" are one and the same.
Gimmie a break.Bush and pals have been giving tax breaks to the rich for quite some time. I didn't see McCain whining about "socialism" then.

Will most people say, "Wealth??? Dear God, no! We don't want any. Take it away and give it to deserving people like Tim Russert's half-wit son and any relatives of evil Lehman Ceo Dick Fuld".
