United Socialist States of America???

Question

Is that what we're headed to under Democratic rule in both houses?

This is to start a little political debate. I myself am an avid Moderate Republican (meaning I'm not ultra conservative), and I have many opinions that I'm not going to share, but please, tell me what benefit you expect to see from the Democrat upheaval. Don't see any benefit? Then what's the harm?

Again, I stand on a ground that I don't really want to get terribly invovled but I will respond to emails privately as long as you approach me with respect and you can expect the same from me.

Just so a few of you know, a Moderate Republican is one that believes that the Government should have as little influence in your daily life as possible, but still sees the necessity of Government assistance and progams for certain individuals. I would personally do away with Social Security as a whole, but realize that is far from happening anytime soon. Therefor, we need to modify it. With welfare, I understand the need, but for those who are capable of working, we should have something like Workfare if you will. If someone needs a job, we'll give them one, but they'll work for it even if it's something stupid and repetative. When they realize they don't get paid unless they show up, hopefully it will push them to actually work. Of course reasonable measures would have to be made for certain individuals and many who appear able to work actually are not. My mother, for example, has multiple fractures on her back. However, that wouldn't keep her from pushing a pen would it?

Keep in mind as well that I do not personally believe that we are going to become Socialist any time soon. I have no problem with being called a Peoples Republic because, and look up the definition if you must, that's what we already are.

The idea of this post is to provoke contraversy. Any reasonable person would realize that the Government as a whole must vote things in (the war in Iraq was hardly just Bush. Many dems voted for it too) and that people don't take office if they're not voted in.

Common sense was not the goal in this post.

Answer 1

Not all democrats are socialist but just about all socialist are democrats. Nancy Pelosi is a socialist as well as many other democrats in Washington. I'll never understand why anyone would wish socialism on any country. Many living under that kind of rule, if they were allowed to leave, would move to the US to escape it.

The CPUSA (communist party of the united states of America) is alive and well and works hand in hand with the ACLU. Then we have the communist Hispanic brown barets found largely in areas of the US they view as Aztlan. First comes socialist rule then comes communist rule. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather be dead than live under that rule.

Their agenda is to control people with big gov. As they produce more and more social (socialist) programs which is so costly it wipes out the middle class and leaves the poor with little except entitlements for all their hard work. No such thing as getting ahead or having a better life.

This leaves the people no choice but be dependent on the government, as they slowly cut away freedoms and rights. Eventually we all become over worked robots with no voice. Sound like a good life?

Answer 2

I'm old enough to remember when the dems last controlled Congress, and why republicans were able to take over, they had their "Contract With America", and the last pledge was term limits, I have no mercy on them for becoming career politicians in the end, and they deserved to be sent home. Next time that one has to come first on the list. Oh I've only asked one question and been ranted against as an evil right wing neo-con on a rant, so should say something evil like, "how long before the democrats contain the liberals/left wing? Will they make it to 2008 without military drafts, taxes, gun control, less property rights, more regulations, more dead babies, gay marriage, more terrorist attacks and sending our military into more Mogadishu/Bosnia/Haiti/Darfur type civil wars, (which are apparently so much nicer and cleaner than Iraq type civil wars)? That should do it, it's late and my right wing ranting ability is tired.

Answer 3

I am neither Republican or Democrat.

What I can tell you is that if you study the history of fascist states, you will see that we are heading in that direction. Both parties are responsible, not one or the other. This may not even be the case. In May 2005 a bill was signed by the presidents of Mexico, Canada, and America that essentially erodes the borders of all three countries. (This can be found on the White House website) It is stated that a NAFTA super highway is going to be built right through the heart of our country with the customs entrance being Kansas City.

I would be happy to discuss some of these things with you further if you choose.

Answer 4

I don't think we're headed that way and I'm a Republican.

Sure, we will probably see an increase in taxes, but I seriously doubt much more will come of things like universal healthcare, etc.

There may be some 'rights' passed on during the period. However, even Dems have to play politics and won't get everything passed. Pres still has veto power.

Honestly, I used to have a lot of respect for Democrats. If they don't get it together, this may very well be their last gasp.

Answer 5

moderate republican?? all that means is if things don't go your way, you blame the democrats!

what is the difference??!

no we are not heading for a socialist state! if you truely were a logical thinkign moderate, you would know those types that even consider thinking that way are the idiots that are on the extreme ends of each spectrum, and aren't reallly considered legitimate by either side!

and as far as all the scialism and communist name claling bs, different aspects of society, have to operate under different conditions for the entire government and society to operate efficiently!
if you don't understand that, you probably should spend more time analyzing human behavior and society!

Answer 6

Well, really wasn't that much of an upheaval. Still a slim majority.
But, heck no, Democrats aren't really going to do anything socialist. They pander to big business almost as much as Republicans do.
Don't see benefit right now. Maybe gridlock.
I would like to see a democratic socialist United States of America, but that will NOT happen with the Dems.

Answer 7

Well it's either Socialist States of America under the commie Democrats or the Peoples Republic of America under the fascist Republicans...

How about the Federated Free States of America under the Libertarians???

Answer 8

Do you honestly believe we will become a predominantly socialist nation with almost half of our Congressmen being republicans? Besides, most democrats elected are conservative.
Granted, social programs for the poor will probably increase. That is a good thing though because they have been complaining about there not being enough.

Answer 9

the biggest to awareness this is that the loose marketplace won't have the ability to be ideal, by way of fact the factor that makes it up are human beings that are by employing nature imperfect and services to miscalcualtions in judgement and subsequently errors. yet to convey in the administrative.by way of fact the savior for loose marketplace mess ups is a extensive mistake. I agree that govt would desire to eliminate itself from inner maximum sector enterprise includiung retirement (social risk-free practices), wellbeing care (medicare), loan (fannie & freddie rape) and each little thing else the administrative.has caught their vast noses into. The loose amrket will superb itself lots extra immediately, by way of fact human beings in the inner maximum sect. have incentive as against a govt bureacrat that may not act on incentive yet on demands and orders from a sturdy.

Answer 10

I don't under stand why so many of these fools can't see the true dangerous of socialism. It has never worked and never will. "time for a change" they say well that's what they said when the socialists took over in Russia and look what it got them. Read your history.
