Here's Tom DeLay on "Hardball" last night. Some day, historians will examine this as an example of how the Republican Party lost its mind -- and its hold on power. Behold, an American political grotesque at his grotesquiest:
I only wish he and Rev. Wright would be stuck in the MSNBC Green Room together for eternity.

For the record, what is it about 'socialism' that bothers modern conservatives so? Is it the fact that conservatism and capitalism are failing in a spectacular fashion and there is no other 'ism' to fill the void?
"Marxism" and "socialism" have gotten a bad rap. If it hadn't been for the guillotines and the gulags, Marxism might have had a chance.
Oh brother, what an asinine statement.

Hmmm. Socialism might be a bigger movement than we thought.
It, in fact, appears to encompass all American politicians whatsoever.
Of course, some of us prefer to go with the actual definition of 'socialism' which is 'nationalizing the means of production', in which case even 'socialized medicine' isn't socialism.
Well, not in any currently-proposed plan. Something like the NHS in England is 'socialized', but privately-owner and operated hospitals and doctors offices that simply get reimbursed for treating patients, by the government, is not 'socialism'. In fact, going in the other direction it would be 'privatization'.
One of the problems I have with the current tax structure is the fact that many millions of people don't pay income taxes, yet get Federal tax "rebates".
Is this true apart from Bush's handout this year?

What the heck does Anti-American even mean? What is Pro-American?
