Language is important and I'm sorry but it isn't okay to constantly take words and assign them negative connotation. Do you like it when the word Conservative is constantly used to describe racist misogynists?

Seriously, I find you Americans funny.
Democratic socialism IS the future if we want to evolve as a society.
Stop thinking about individualism like it's the best thing in the universe.
I am not saying that Obama is doing the right thing because oligarchy seems to be his plan but you guys all seem totally brainwashed with ideas that freedom can only come from capitalism and everything else is evil.
We will simply die on this stupid rock called earth if we continue thinking like selfish animals.
Earth WILL be destroyed eventually and we NEED to progress trough space if we want humanity to survive and I'm telling you, we ain't getting nowhere with the way things are now.
Not that most of care for something else than your little self which is why you won't even understand what I'm talking about.

You keep saying "socialist" like it is a dirty word.
We are already partially socialist, and many of us think that we need even more socialist programs.
Social Security, Medicare, Highway system, internet (research for it), Amtrak, Public Schools, Fire Departments, Police Departments, US Military, Our Space Program.
Hardly any of these would be considered "evil" by most people. I'm sure some people have gripes about Medicare or Social Security...but for the most part Americans (even Republicans) embrace our Nations Socialist programs. We just tend to call them "social" programs, because if you put the "ist" on the end of it...people flip out (like this thread)...but the meanings are the same with or without the "ist".
Well, yes it is a dirty word to all but those of you who are socialists. Sorry, but this country was not built on socialist principles. And I do not like it being snuck in behind the backs of Americans. If a person is a socialist, then they should run for office as a socialist. Why didn't Obama run as a socialist? Because he knew that Americans would have never elected him. This is sneaky and corrupt! And Obama really needs to be exposed for who and what he is.

Which is what the whole deal is about, 'identity politics' to get and maintain political power,
The ends justify the means garbage.
Maybe if Obama would stop alienating half of the legal residents in this country he, and his party wouldn't have to 'make' other people from other countries who don't know how full of crap they are, citizensedit on 7-8-2013 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

Amnesty or not, the GOP is slowly but surely sealing it's fate. Changing demographics spell the end for the GOP. There is no room in the future for a party that is hellbent on not denying ignorance.
Just look at the past 2 presidential elections, I expect 2014 to be a bad year for the GOP as well.

Which is hilarious as those "voters" you speak of, are really conservative (traditional family values, predominately Catholic), but a political ideology has abandoned them as sub human so those "voters" go with the other side who accepts them.
The right rejects a huge voting bloc based solely on ethnic stereotypes (brown skin = illegal alien) and so the vast majority of that voting block goes to the Dems.
