Is 'Socialism' the new 'Liberal'?

The problem of the economy started in 1913 when a democratic president and Congress created the Federal Reserve Bank and gave them sole rights to control our currency.

As Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson stated, a central banking system is nothing but a problem down the road and even Lincoln and Kennedy didn't like the national banking system.

Any time a private bank has control of a nations currency there will be trouble. This is why the whole world is in trouble at this time. China is the only nation that has a decent economy and they are feeling the crunch.

Socialism is a government where the state controls the industry and banking and is ruled by a few and has never worked. Democracy is ruled by the majority and seldom lasts long. The only way to have a viable government is to have a republic in which the rulers are elected and controlled by the people and industry is left to make it or break it on their own.

So as long as we give the left complete control everything will be fine? Ever wonder why we always hear about poor schools or healthcare yet they spend money on high speed rail links, water slides and opera houses and more on foreign aid this year than ever before, even as we go trillions of dollars into debt? Do you know how many zeroes a trillion dollars has? If you see this as only a democrat vs. republican equation then you are a fool. Wake up. Learn what "double speak " and the term "propaganda" means. The old liberals are now the libertarians, a group which I iddentify with on many issues, the new liberals don't care what you do as long as they can force you to do it, with them it's "do as I say, not as I do" which is why the White Hous eis full of tax cheats and the parking lot with foreign made cars. No I'm not praising the last White House because they helped make this situation possible, but finger pointing is just a distractions to distract us from VOTING OUT ALL INCUMBANTS IN 2010.

When did socialism become a bad word, OH Ya, When the Repukelicans made it out to be a scary word , Where were they when Bush was creating his Dictatorship as he stomped on the constitution taking advantage of the 9-11 attacks he allowed to happen. Where were all the the Scary words when Bush set record spending and Borrowed Record $Billions$ From China sending our economy SCREAMING to to the disaster we have today. It took Bush 8 years along with record Spending/borrowing to get into this mess, Now The Repups Finally Speak up When Its too late,and we need to spend 2xs what Bush spent to recover from the Pit of economic Hell BUSH dump our country into. Where were then HUH? Where? Too LIL TOO late! Now Shut The Hell Up and Get Behind YOUR PRESIDENT and your country for the Good of the people for a CHANGE!!

Socialism, viewed through the filters being provided by the administration and the Democratic Party is marvelous. If even 10% of it were true, I would enthusiastically sign on to it as a compromise.

I have always contended that 'American' Socialists are very well intended. They are different from the brutality we've seen from socialists throughout history. They're definition of Socialism is different. They have been tricked into thinking that the existence of a fire department in their community is a sterling example of Socialism's success.

There are plenty of examples where Socialism has come through the back door opened by well intentioned compassionate people who define themselves as Liberal.

Socialism is Communism's afterlife. It’s totalitarianism with a smiley face.

It is the marginalization of the people under the banner of compassionate Liberalism.

I don’t hate liberals. I’m related to many of them and was even married to one.

I don’t fear liberals. I fear FOR them.

Of all the liberals I know, if they knew what they were really doing, what end they were really arguing for, what element they were aligned with, they would pass out dead on the floor.

Please take the time to review the sources.

You seem to be a reasonable and compassionate person and not a typical angry liberal troll otherwise I wouldn't take the time to assemble them for you.

They are NOT conservative propaganda.

I am NOT a traditional conservative. I do believe government has a role in acting as my intermediary in providing for citizens who are not strong enough to independently benefit from what our society has to offer.

Schlafly explains the method by which you are being duped.

Wait a minute, the biggest deregulations of the financial institutions came about with Democrat Presidents. Both Carter and Clinton did more to deregulate the mortgage industry then Reagan or either Bush. Also both Bush II and McCain warned as early as 2003 of the coming housing crisis. Also, how is expanding the Federal Government suppose to help in any way but to take more freedoms from us? I mean look at socialized health care in other Nations, it does not work. Medicare doesn't even work like it is suppose to.

What we need to do is get rid of all career politicians in our government and get new blood in since neither party cares about anything but their own pay checks and perks.

Government INTERVENTION and too much spending caused the meltdown (along with a flood of cheap Chinese products that destroyed our Securities). Those are not Republican values. Clinton gave China Favored Trading status and he and the Democrats increased available credit to improve home buying. Nice try.

If you think the government should control everything, why does NY State have the highest taxes, most government jobs, spend the most on Education, and have the 2nd highest poverty rate Upstate? 50,000 jobs lost since 2000. You are being brainwashed by Teachers of the Union that fails to graduate more than 46% and collects a Cadillac pension and health care for themselves.

Republicans tried to Reign in Fannie Mae and Barney Frank defended Franklin Raines. The outrage is how the media buried this during the election and keeps pushing their beloved Obama. Just look at the coverage for the new dog. Do you remember how much coverage Bush's dog received? Do you even know his name? What a biased bunch of garbage.

Redistribution of wealth is unconstitutional. I thought Liberals have always fought to preserve that. I guess only when it suits you. Wait until you make some money and find out they take most of it back. Now.

Most people do not see liberal policy as the sensible route--they were duped into voting for Obama's "hope and change" without the foggiest idea about what his real far left agenda would mean.

Most of our problems today are the result of failed liberal policies. But instead of seeing the error of their ways, liberals are going further to to the left toward outright socialism. I don't think the majority of the American people are ignorant enough to be fooled a second time.

The trouble with Socialists is they believe working hard and reaping the benefits is bad so those who work hard get taxed higher and higher. Those who don't work are the downtrodden and get support from the taxation system to the decrement of economic stability and bankruptcy.

Increasing government spending to dizzying heights is not an answer to solve economic slumps.

To a fiscal conservative, call it socialism, spendism, liberalism, anyism, for, a rose is a rose, regardless of name.
