Thank you Mr. Doty, I've not read a funnier letter to the editor in quite some time. Let's first deal with your idea of liberalism equals socialism. True both ideologies believe everyone should have a say in how both the economy and government works. Its true democracy! Now communism is opposite to that idea. It wants control in fewer hands; just like conservatism, which is the idea Republicans want. ...more

In the late 1800s, Karl Marx came up with "The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto." In the late 1930s, Sinclair Lewis wrote a book titled "It Can't Happen Here." Sorry Mr. Lewis, it is happening here and quickly, as evidenced by the House vote on socialized medicine and the relentless daily attacks on our personal freedom and capitalism. If "Obamacare" goes through, our beloved government will own or control 48 percent of the private industry. Next up, cap and trade. This bill is in response to the world's biggest hoax ever perpetuated, global warming. For instance, when we exhale we emit CO2. Plants need C02 to live and supply oxygen to all breathing creatures. If we eliminate the C02 there will be no plants for the animals to feed on and no air for us to breathe. What are we going to eat? Nothing, we all die! Politicians don't care, they just crave power. Big Brother will then have total control over us. But on the bright side, politicians will also die from lack of hot air to spew. ...more

More than 30 years ago I heard the now late Rev. E .C. Hill state, "I do not trust the left wing or the right wing because they are both flapping off the same bird, and it is a bird of destruction." ...more

We do not have democracy in America, "A government of the people, for the people and by the people," as we have been brain washed into believing for over 230 years. ...more

The truth about health reform matters to all Americans. But it particularly matters to me because... I ask you to investigate all the allegations I'm hearing and then report the truth to our community. No one is proposing socialism. No one is proposing a government take over of our health care system. But we do need to make sure that 50 million uninsured Americans can get health care. ...more

My apologies to Brian Moore for thinking him to be a woefully misguided ingrate exploiting the freedoms of this country by preaching his socialism voodoo while continuing to earn a living in the country he so despises. ...more

Jim Rahenkamp is worried about the economy as are many of us. The situation looks really dire if you subscribe to his definitions and live life according to various popular buzz phrases. ...more

Is it possible to change "change," or has the charismatic, silver tongued Pied Piper of "Change" led us down the slope so far and with such momentum that we have reached the point of no return? Capitalism requires that production must exceed consumption. Socialism (veiled Communism) requires that consumption must exceed production. No individual, city, state or nation can long endure when consumption exceeds production. We no longer export more than we import. ...more

Re: Only choice we have. Ownership of the means of production in a socialist economy is a means of control of the means of production. Ownership is sufficient but not necessary in a socialist economy. ...more
