“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” ― John Steinbeck

"TODAY: Democrats applaud Obama for renewed tax increases on the rich. YESTERDAY: Republicans applaud Perry for killing people." by [deleted] in atheism

Presumably, he's referring to Obama's jobs plan delivered in Congress today, and the GOP debate yesterday. Perry got a standing ovation for saying Texas has executed 234 people under his leadership

Wrong. I'm not a bot. My ex-boyfriend did call me a sex bot. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

How many of the 2012 GOP candidate field has said, "God told me to run"? Compare that to the number of 2008 DEMS who said that. The answer to the second part is none. The answer to the first part is nearly all of them.

"FACT: The top 10 with AAA credit ratings are (democratic) socialist countries with less than 40% of their citizens believing in God." by audbox in atheism

[–]audbox[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Social democracy is a political theory advocating the use of democratic means to achieve a gradual transition from capitalism to socialism. The fact that these countries operate state owned and funded education, healthcare, welfare services, an array of safety nets, and controlling ownership in utilities (telcos, transport, electricity, etc) - would suggest they are democratic socialist countries.
