[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4798704, member: 60252"] Public schools are purely socialist- taking from taxpayers to fund what should be the individual responsibility of parents. Just like roads take from everyone even though not everyone uses the, or the police dept, or fire department, or national Defense Department. It should be the individual responsibility to defend yourself when China invades. The Navy is very socialist- defending privately owned oil tankers and container cargo ships with tax dollars from the public. All of those are 'leftist' according to the right wing crazies. But to be clear, most people who whine about socialism aren't too bright to start with if they don't think we already have a large sector of our country that is and always has been socialist. The same idiots will tell you the constitution is against socialism, when the founders even included prominently, in the preamble, that the constitution was creating a government to 'provide for the general welfare" of the people. Provision of the general welfare by the government is pretty much the definition of socialism. [/QUOTE]
