A Non Ymous,First of all, if you think I support social security you grossly misunderstood me. Perhaps you should read my post again. I've been as outspoken against social security as anyone on this board. Let me be clear about this: I think social security is the single biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. Its creation was a colossal error on the part of FDR. I agree with you completely that it would be more aptly named "socialism security." I DO NOT support social insecurity. My point was that I support Bush's plan to reform it, and frankly I think America would be better off if the system as we know it was phased out altogether and buried in the cemetary of shame.
As for the bit about income taxes, I'm right there with you. Again, perhaps you should re-read my post. American's who support high taxes aren't the ones paying the taxes. Americans seem to find it so easy to support taxes as long as other people are paying them.
Anyways, given your responses, I don't know what I said to invite your criticism, but after reading your post I think we would probably agree on a lot of things.
I'm the last person you'd confuse for a socialist, and I think most people on this board would back me up on that.
Sorry TNR, I misunderstood what you said. A lot of people call themselves conservatives then go on to defend the socialist Bush's "Compassionate Communism". It's absolutely astounding how easily patriotic Americans are fooled into believing this guy is just like us.
For example:
Bush came out of the gate telling us that he supports gun owners and he believes the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. He then appointed 700 federal prosecutors to jail people who violate laws that are based upon collective rights!
This bum is no conservative, unless one believes he is conserving Communitarianism. Bush is an admitted Communitarian and one only need to look the word up in any good dictionary to learn that Communitarianism is defined as "A communist form of government".
