Congrats, you can take definitions from Websters. Now explain how the current administration is Socialist using THAT definition you just posted.
maybe you would be more at home at a coffee shop with CodePink in Berkley. Since you can only refute what I say by a default traditional dismissal, you have no point at all.
Taken from Websters:
Main Entry: so·cial·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1837
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
i guess you were absent the day they taught the difference between socialism and capitalism in class... or maybe you where to busy smoking weed in the parking lot.
I see nothing about the collective ownership of the means of production in his post. Why don't you point that out for me.
I'm thinking of General motors takeover,and the supervision of banks and the supervision of health care, and student loan takeover just to name a few.
Do you believe if those were necessary bailouts and then because the government did bail them out, the government then has the right to "take them over"?
They should have let them fail- all of them. Get rid of the deadwood and corporations that don't work and/or have unsustainable business practices, and let some fresh blood in. The government takeover/control of businesses, and bailouts, are just symbolic of the general trend of the country. It's normal for everything to fail- it's the nature of everything that exists. Out with the old, in with the new.

To be fair, he does have a point with regard to the Immigration Bill in AZ. There does seem to be a whole lot of hyperbolic rhetoric, exaggerations, and even outright lies being throw out by the "Mainstream" Left concerning this issue, and very little of it has anything at all to do with the actual reality of the situation. I would say that a lot of same is true with regard to healthcare reform as well.
Grated, Fox News has its moments of bias as well. However, let's not kid ourselves. The media is pretty overwhelmingly "liberal" on the whole, and the Left-Leaning powers that be do often try and silence or shout down opposing viewpoints.
