Also, the Tennessee Valley Authority was just like the Nazis.

The interstate highway system was also a Nazi program.

Yeah thats why I like the term progressive better then liberal.

As if we are in progress toward a more perfect union... of state and the citizenry.

[blueduck37]

You see, you joke... but there are some conservatives who actually think along these lines (re: highways, etc).

[pacotelic]

I'm not joking. The argument is corollary. If we see as our hihgest and best use the avoidance of anything done by the N___, then we'd cease to function as country.

Yes, and a volunteer program for young people is just like the Hitler Youth. ::tic::

[ice_hesitant]

I thought the Boy Scouts were taking care of that.

[lather2002]

Yeah, if it were to be voluntarily. But what is being proposed is that it be mandatory. Big Difference.

only for white kids, so they can march them off to the slave camps. how are your assassination plans going?

Social Security is clearly socialist program, ans so is Medicare, and some Obama's initiatives are socialist by nature. You guys seem to think that "socialism" is obscenity or insult, while it's just a political term with a certain meaning, and because of that you are trying to deny obvious things.

[xforge]

"Social programs" are not "socialism." "Socialism" has a clear-cut definition. Which practically no one who argues anything for the right seems to realize.

[chasovschik]

True, "Social programs" are not "socialism." They are steps on the way to socialism. You see, this clear-cut definition is not complete. Concept of socialism is much wider, and its social implications are no less important than economical.

[blueduck37]

I like the evolution of your argument here...

"Social programs are socialism!!!" / [receives reply with definition of socialism] / "Okay, so they're not socialism. But it's close!"
