Republicon Socialism -the new wave
The republicons used to say they hated nation building -- but off they went squandering American taxpayers' money like confetti in Iraq and elsewhere to do their failed nation building

Republicons also used to condemn socialism and communism - But flip-floppers that they are, they are now pimping another inevitable FAIL: Big Republicon Government owning banks, insurance companies, and investment firms

Why is that republicons never tell Americans the truth about what they really are up to with our money?

4. People here on DU just Go Along
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 03:29 PM by fascisthunter
with MSM talking points. What they don't realize is they confirm the MSM's agenda to demonize all socialism... that's with a small "s", like social security, etc. Whenever people in this country talk about "socialism" it's negative, and that's what most in this country understand.

This isn't socialism... it's fascism.

5. Horrors! So this is the end of the so-called Reagan Revolution
He wanted to bring down the evil empire of Communism and now, thanks to the legacy of his extremist policies, we are being pushed into, well, let's say, government ownership of the means of production. (Marxists, did I get the language right? I'm not used to having to talk this stuff yet, so please correct me if I got that wrong.)

We are in the situation of the 50-year old who has eaten to his/her hearts content for all 50 years of her life, weighs 250 lbs and now has to choose between surgery and following a restricted diet or pushing up daisies.

The lesson is: moderation in all things. Eat moderately, spend moderately, borrow wisely. Live a balanced life. Let's hope that, as a nation, we can regain our balance and start living within our means.

6. "Smirk." - Ronald Reagan's Dead Republicon Astrologer*
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 04:18 PM by SpiralHawk
"Remember, Mercury is Retrograde until October 16.

"We Republicon occultists all know exactly what that means. Smirk."

- Ronald Reagan's Dead Republicon Astrologer*


* Courageously channeled by Ye Olde Spirale Hawke, who made intrepid entrance into the vast netherworld of Republicon occultism to obtain this snarky remark

7. There is no such thing as "Republican Socialism"
Just like there is no such thing as "Reagan Democrats" or "Hillary Republicans".

They're pretend words made up to convey pretend ideas.

It's more fantasy brought to you by the Party of Propaganda: the GOP.
