and stop calling liberals "socialists"

Let's get it straight:

Liberals are those who believe that the government has a duty to protect the people.

Socialists are those who subscribe to an economic system in which the government owns a significant percentage of business services, especially all those businesses that provide utilities, medical services, and transportation.

The Democrats of the United States do NOT want government to own all that. They simply want there to be an "option" - one of many choices, so that people can have a full range of choices from which to choose.

That is not Socialism. That is government entering into the free market.

Other players in the field don't like it because they know that the government can provide the services cheaper, because they already have a "locked in" revenue source (us) - so they got p'o'd and have unleashed their dogs ("the Republican idealogues") to convince the ignorant masses ("you, the insipid American public") to hurl epithets and make a bunch of noise into scaring the liberals into submission.

So, now that you have it straight, will you calm down enough just to check out the choice being offered?

I mean seriously, forget my insults, forget what your masters (Hannity and Limbaugh) are telling you, and just read the proposal for yourself. I know it's a tough read and hard to understand, but truly, you are just as intelligent as they are (because they're stooooopid!) and so why would you rely on their uninformed interpretation of a text even they haven't read!

and again,


stop calling the liberals "socialists" - they're not.

Now, the Brits - THOSE guys are socialists!
