Subject: RE: BS: Voting for Hillary?
Jeeze, Voice, you're lumping the Nazis together with all other forms of socialism, with communism as well, and then dumping the whole pot on Obama's head???? That's downright ludicrous.

1. National Socialism as practiced in German is different than the communism used in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

2. Both of the above are different than Marxism as theoretically conceived of by Mark.

3. All of the above are different in kind and degree than the blended social republics operating in some (for example) Scandinavian countries, where some social networks are in place but individual entrepreneurship and capitalism also thrive.

4. All of those are different from the somewhat socialized democratic republic we live in where, for example, the Federal government subsidizes farmers, railroads, Chrysler, and failed banks in order to keep the wheels going around, operates a Social Security system, and writes laws constraining businesses when they get TOO greedy.

All of these instances are somewhat "socialistic".

IF you have to shout "Wolf" every time a dog walks past, you're going run out of audience very soon.
