Head of DNC can't answer; The difference between a Dem and a Socialist...

[oldpink]

I would say what is the difference between a republican and a socialist? That is the real question.

1) You're talking about Republicans and not conservatives.
2) If you honestly don't think the Dems are much closer still to socialism than even the Republicans, then you're already a socialist yourself.

 

[MisterChester]

If there's no difference between a democrat and a socialist, then there's no difference between a republican and a fascist. Too many on here are afraid of the socialist bogeyman but aren't that afraid of fascism, the perverted version of conservatism. Not to mention our neighbors to the north have a socialist economy, and they aren't exactly a failing country.

Funny how you bring fascism into this, especially when you prattle on about how it's a "right-wing" contrivance.
I'll plagiarize myself here: fascism is a symbiotic (read that as parasitic) relationship between industry and government whereby government controls an ostensibly otherwise private industry.
Doesn't that sound precisely like what your champion in the White House has engineered?
Funny how it once was a dirty word to be called a socialist.
Now, we have people not only unoffended about being called that, but proudly proclaiming themselves as such and wanting everyone else to be.
And you are just Exhibit A.

Well it is. When it was developed in Europe around WW1 it was meant to be the anti-liberal, anti-communist, anti-socialist ideology.

Fascism is the perversion of conservatism, communism is the perversion of liberalism.

If you can find one single post of mine saying I'm a proud socialist, then the validity of your reasoning might have some merit. Please go look. I encourage you to search for something that doesn't exist.

Ima gonna steal this: "Fascism is the perversion of conservatism, communism is the perversion of liberalism."

I'd like to see definitions of these terms.

Wrong, both are perversions of liberalism. American Conservatism has nothing to do with any form of socialism, which Fascism and Communism both are. Merely opposite sides of the same coin. Bloody wars were fought between the two because they are so much alike, but communism was deemed "Zionist" by the Fascists.

Okay, you're not really a socialist.

You just now figuring that out? He spouts more socialist rhetoric than Vladimir and Iosef. I don't think he is capable of grasping that Fascism is skinny socialism and Communism is fat socialism.

Believe me, I'm quite familiar with both of the "Misters" who regularly post here.
Just poking holes in his claim to not being what he is, using his own words.

It shows you how stupid these people are. It is hilarious and scary at the same time.

News flash: you don't have to be a socialist to acknowledge Canada isn't failing. Ask Ted Cruz if he thinks Canada is a failing state.

No, you don't have to be a socialist. It doesn't preclude that description however.

You're just saying that because anyone who you don't agree with is automatically a socialist. This is the exact bull**** why gun owners are having a hard time winning hearts and minds in this country. Look, I own guns, I carry often, but that license isn't one to be in the conservative circle jerk. If you're not 100% in, you will be pushed out and shunned 100% of the time for having different opinions. Why do I have to conform to those standards? For the record I'm not a socialist, never claimed to be. I hold some liberal principles along with some conservative ones, and apparently to some people here that makes me more communist than old Vladimir and Joseph themselves. How in the hell does that make sense? Being ostracized for having different opinions is starting to become standard operating procedure here for some people. Sorry I don't live in fear of the socialist bogeyman that apparently exists.

TLDR: not socialist, not in conservative bandwagon, leave me alone.

Honestly, played it smart. She has a base that she must unite, full of statists of all varieties. She doesn't want to alienate any of them.

Its not that she doesn't have an answer, its that she is not taking the media's bait. She is not falling into a trap that would divide the Democrat base.

Think about it.

Sometimes I have to agree with Rambone.....+5.
Capitalism w/o regulation is economic Darwinism. Capitalism with regulation works better. Some fear this is socialism. Unwad yer panties....

I feel the same way about the INGOtarian circle jerk......I am with them on roughly 80% of the issues, have voted Libertarian (at least some) in every election since I have been old enough to vote but because I am against abortion and think marriage is between a man and a woman I am a "TEAvangelical" whose "days are numbered like dinosaurs..."


What really sucks? Is for some reason I sometimes think Debbie Wasserman Schultz is kind of hot...Weird huh??? Do you think her curls are natural??? They kind of seem that way....
