OK, the Oxford English definition, and Socialism was a concept first introduced in Britain.

socialism

• noun a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Considering that Bush, although believing in limited regulation, does believe in regulation, and has nationalised a few banks so that the country owns them, does that make him a Socialist? Or do you think that he is exempt from this dictionary definition for some set of reasons?

Yes.

All neo-cons are Socialists. That's what makes them neo-cons and the bane of conservatives everywhere.

Bush and Obama are a lot alike when it comes to big government, pointless spending, free-market corruption and manipulation and unlimited bureaucracy.

This is the state of the Republicrats today.

Thinking of W as a socialist just makes me wonder if the revolution has already happened, but we were asleep so no one noticed........
