How about this: I think that heterosexual marriage is socialism and that all married heterosexuals are socialists. Now, let's make sure we don't get bogged down in superficial discussions about what socialism actually is. I'll just stick with my definition and you all can stick with being wrong.

Really? So it is your contention that, based on your reading of the Constitution, that the framers intended the Federal government to OWN our banks?
You believe the framers intended on our government buying controlling interests in private industry, then plant representatives on the Board of Directors?
You believe the framers intended on our government buy interest in manufacturing so that they could tell the company what type of products to build?
Tell you what guys: we aren't going to change each other's minds politically. I don't come here for politics and should have known better than to get involved. Enjoy, I'll see you elsewhere.
