So what do they call it when conservatives fight to take my hard earned money and redistribute it throughout the military industrial complex?

700 billion dollars a year for defense, more than the next ten biggest spending countries in the world combined. Paranoid much?
Founded in 1919, the Communist Party USA has championed the struggles for democracy, labor rights, women’s equality, racial justice and peace for ninety years.
I find that to be a silly bet. How about this bet: we wouldn't be talking about sending 100 billion dollars to a dictatorship that funds terrorists for a proxy war, holds American hostages, and kills innocent homosexuals.
Democrats are traditional supporters of the Military/Industrial Complex.
WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, The Middle East just to name a few.
And of course, Obama is actively bombing away like crazy as we speak.
No?

what if you and the rest of the Right find out that America is ready for a Socialist or even a Communist?
I can't wait, honestly.

Somebody is calling that "Socialism" on another thread.
I call it a variant of Authoritarianism.

Will do.
What does this "revelation" mean to you, particularly?
How do you see it affecting the Presidential Elections?
And although I think it rather unlikely ... what if you and the rest of the Right find out that America is ready for a Socialist or even a Communist?
I can't wait, honestly.

I call it one of the very few and specific things the Federal government is specifically empowered to do by the Constitution - provide for the common defense.
