Should we start calling our country what it is?

Question

"The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right names." -Chinese Proverb

Is it high time that we recognize that our Republic has been hijacked in the last 100 years and has become a Socialist State? 
Norman Thomas ran for President, on the ticket of the Socialist Party every election from 1928 to 1948. Why did he decide to stop running after the 1948 election? His answer was that "there was no more need to run as a Socialist third-party candidatesince the Democrats and Republicans by this time adopted into both of their official platforms every single Official Socialist Party position on every major issue of the day." 

And with that recognition is it time to bring back our Constitutionalist Nation?

Yes it is time for that! Unfortunately it will be a really bloody process.

Did you know the term "Neocon" came from the leader of the Norman Thomas Socialist Party in the 1960's? Michael Harrington used it as a derogatory Term towards Truman then JFK because they were "Intellectual Liberal Democrats" and not Liberal enough?
As they favored Lower Taxes, and a Strong, Aggressive military?
Norman Thomas was wrong, and so are you.

The only way is by war. There is no other way. The Amnesia Bill, I mean Amnesty Bill, The " I forget about Americans" Bill is a prime example of our country being a sell out!

What EXACTLY is it in this country that makes you think we are socialists?

Is it the Capitalistic economy?

Is it the "pay before we heal" health care?

Is it the extreme class divisions between the rich & the poor?

Please tell me, I'd really like to know.

If we start calling our country what it truly is, then it would go by the name F***** Up.  Nevertheless, I am proud to be here, and would rather live here that anywhere else on earth.

I find it amazing that American Liberals are living in the best country in the world, have ample evidence around them that socialism has always failed, but yet, they want to destroy America and turn it into another Cuba.

It's not a socialist nation. It's a quasi-Capitalist one.
