Many of the benefits of living in this country are socialist in nature. Roads, public schools, the military (to whatever extent one can consider the military a benifit), fire and police departments, public libraries, the public airwaves upon wich our television and radio signals travel, the space program, highway rest stops, national, state, county, and municipal parks... these are all socialist institutions (or commodities used in a socialist manner).

And the Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist (although he didn't put in the "one nation under God" bit).
