I think most Americans, including Republicans, are a variety of socialist. The trick is to phrase the question correctly. For instance, you can't ask "do you believe from each according to his needs?". You would simply ask " do you believe in a safety net? Other questions that would reveal imo that Americans are mostly socialist - what do we need to do with Ss, Medicare, Medicaid? Should we save the failing public school system? What do you think of the progressive income tax? Etc.

... and I have seen no conservatives on here arguing against Trump's $12 billion bailout of the farming industry to provide relief from what his own trade policies have caused, nor do I remember many Republicans arguing against George W. Bush signing the Troubled Asset Relief Program (T.A.R.P.) into law in October of 2008 where the United States government purchased toxic assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen it's financial sector. That was the very definition of socialism.

Mostly, I would say that whether or not anyone here complains about socialism depends on who is calling for it.

Are you proud of abusing the word "******" - which is an abhorrent POV about those less mentally capable - or are you incapable of shedding such childishness?

Then you aren't paying attention to people like me and the handful of others that panned it.

2 different words. The word you describe is often the result of something genetic or accidental. The word that I use is born out of people wanting to be mentally deficient on purpose.

The incredibly insensitive term "libtard", which is a direct spin-off of the much more offensive term "r|tard", is fine and dandy with you and your tiny crew of mental midgits. Got it. Thanks.

Who, else in all of creation, can you feel superior than those so less fortunate, not inferior, than the mentally challenged. Shame on you. Shame on you all.

So are you admitting that liberalism is a mental disorder?

DISCLAIMER: At the risk of being flagged as a friend of bran, I will make this statement.

As the dad of an autistic child I do not like the use of any whatevertard at all. I did not feel this way prior to becoming her dad, but when it hits you where you live you tend to make some changes. I agree we need to be a little more adult about it.

That being said, those who choose to make stupid decisions deserve what they get.

Just wanted to drop by and say that Slick Willy and his wife didn't make the least bit attractive daughter. Chelsea Clinton looks like doo doo.
