Einstein was brilliant, but he forgot to account for one variable in his formula for a Socialist Paradise: Human Nature. |

IIrc Einstein didnt invent anything, infact he was vehemently against the creation and use of nuclear arms. Guys like openheimer invented the bombs, Einstein was a theorist. |

I know, I was kidding. But he thought it up and provided the information the others used in building it. I'm not saying there's a correlation to socialism...just funning around. |

Einstein was a theorist. EXACTLY!!!!! It's easy to create a utopia in a box. A theorist couldn't anticipate an Oppenheimer in his theory. Practical obliterates theory. Were this not the case, theory would be law. |

Who came up with that graphic? Wait... Let me guess... Some French guy? I like how France is a perfectly centered perfect circle. The perfect balance of a perfect country. Einstein could barely tie his own shoes. A brilliant mind in the niche of physics, but like many geniuses/prodigies he was very one dimensional in his abilities. As for Lincoln...
quote:Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles. --August 27, 1856 Speech at Kalamazoo, Michigan The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities. --July 1, 1854 [?] Fragment on Government That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or any denomination of Christians in particular. --July 31, 1846 Handbill Replying to Charges of Infidelity I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. --July 31, 1846 Handbill Replying to Charges of Infidelity Nevertheless, amid the greatest difficulties of my Administration, when I could not see any other resort, I would place my whole reliance on God, knowing that all would go well, and that He would decide for the right. --October 24, 1863 Remarks to the Baltimore Presbyterian Synod Let us then turn this government back into the channel in which the framers of the Constitution originally placed it. --July 10, 1858 Speech at Chicago I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle. --February 21, 1861 Speech to the New Jersey Senate Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. --First State of the Union Address (3 December 1861)

Theory is "law," i.e., Darwin's theory of evolution. The theory of global warming. Heck, we're all theorists. And coffee house philosophers. And barstool intellectuals. Oh, that's just me. |

>>> Theory is "law," i.e., Darwin's theory of evolution. The theory of global warming. "Theory is law"? No, it isn't. What you are contending is fantasy. Evolution is a theory. It may be an accurate explanation of how life progresses. It is not a law. Global warming is a natural phenomenon, not a law. |

Seatbelts are the law. f=ma is A law. Darwin had a theory. All different. Definitely a french chart. Try http://www.politicalcompass.org/ It's Brit. (by the way I really disagree with some of their charted positions for politicians..... but it's a semi consistent way to compare those who actually took the test, rather than been guessed at, IMHO ) (Message edited by aesquire on April 28, 2010) |

Ah, c'mon. Law in quotation marks ("law") meant it to be my little joke. Theories are theories, laws are laws, and while gravity is proven every day, evolution or global warming are not. Truthism. Nice ring to it. |

I would agree that Bush was 8% socialist. The Medicare drug program was bad juju. T.A.R.P. was MUCH worse. NEITHER should have been passed. VERY unhappy about both. The passage of these two knocked out the only viable leg for Republicans, fiscal responsibility, to compete in the 2008 elections. |

A true socialist would put a big fenced wall on the border.... not to keep the illegal population OUT but to keep the monied well funded, educated skilled labor from LEAVING. |

Invalid Anoymous post by Nikker. One of the most important rights is the right of ownership. I would prefer fascism over communism because at least fascism allows a little bit of ownership. Other than that politics is a science expressed and practiced by narrow minded people. Some times you need to raise taxes, sometimes you do not. Its plain stupid to consider that you can fix the economy by solely applying following one path. You constantly need to adapt to your enviroment. The thing is that party's use words in their names such as Liberal, Democrat, Ecological, Social, Puppylovers etc. Thats an euphemism. Keep in mind that Hitlers party was named National Socialistic German Workers Party. Why isn't the Swastika the symbol of Socialism? Also how the are communists considered revolutionarys when all they want is give complete authority to the Goverment? (Message edited by blake on April 29, 2010) |

"Why isn't the Swastika the symbol of Socialism?" Because if the average person knew the roots of socialism and progressivism, they would reject it outright. We're being sold a bill of goods. |
