It always amazes me how ignorant much of America is about Socialism.

It always amazes me how many American's fall for the failed promise of the socialist fantasy, where the rivers flow with milk and honey, and everyone loves everyone else, and the benevolent government takes care of your every desire.

When you view the world only through your invented left vs. right imaginary battle, understandably your views are going to be distorted beyond reality.

Though the original quote pre-dates it, 'a chicken in every pot' was a 1928 REPUBLICAN campaign slogan. Until this very moment I never knew they were socialists.

Actually, Ron, they were accused of being socialists continually during Reconstruction.

Talk about your government interventions that pervaded society !!!! I wonder why they didn't let private enterprise come to that rescue.

Too busy building monopolies. And encouraging immigrants to come work/live in their new railroad towns.

A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage – Herbert Hoover it was the RNC who did that campaign on Hoovers behalf.

FR Funny.... if this were true, why do so many run like hell from the label??? Over two thirds of the Republican Caucus in the United States Senate identify themselves as Conservatives and proudly so. One, O N E , one member of the Democrat Caucus identifies himself as a Socialist and I doubt you can find five that would proudly admit they are Liberals.

Because Americans are as stupid about their own history as about math, science, language, economics, politics.... And because times change. But that involves more history, and I know how funny that makes you feel.

I haven't seen a link showing me a country where socialism was successful, care to enlighten us?

A person could get a headache trying to decipher and decode all the articles. You want to call us socialists, there are enough papers, websites and publications to support this theory, same goes for liberals, democrats or republicans. Whatever you seek, there will be statistics to back up your claim. Trying to put them into believable and non believable piles, leaving room for fanatical and just downright silly... I need an Advil. I just wanna know if we are heading towards a revolution, cuz I found a nifty camo shirt and beret. We, the US, are still infants when compared to other countries and history. Look at the civil unrest, wars and revolutions held overseas, and us...a drop in the bucket. We've been a pretty satisfied bunch, I guess. Maybe it's time for a good old fashioned revolution? An over throw of government? I found articles on this too, saying it was inevitable. Well, things are ripe, people are upset and blaming those in charge is an easy fix. I hope we get some warning though, takes time to build a bunker. The ones making a profit from all this unrest, online bulk supply sites. Survivalists are wandering the hills muttering how they knew it was coming, and ordering 50 lb drums of flour, coffee and ammo. Someone has to be benefiting from the craziness!

If you've been canning food as Glenn Beck suggests then you'll be fine. I don't have the industrial process required to can food so I'm buying loads of tinned spaghetti from Tesco. I'm also saving up bars of soap because people hate to smell bad. Those soap bars will be like bars of gold after 'the event'.
