This is what Britannica.com has for a main description of socialism. What do you think?

social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members.

Are you really serious about the video link to money,cnn? The clown is a talking head for Obama! Why don't you do yourself a favor and do some serious research. It started in 1977 with the Community Reinvestment Act. This was such a wonderful idea that it was expanded in 1994, and then the rules were rewritten in 1995 so that quotas could be set and monitored. Check out who Fanny and Freddie gave the most money to in congress.

Obama isn't the bogeyman, he's simply a Socialist who believes that if you turn control of your life over to big government, that big government will solve all your problems. Comparing McCain to Wallace is about as laughable as equating Obama with Lincoln.

It wasn't the speech. It was the twisted facts in the speech. This problem goes clear back to 1977. It didn't sneak up on anybody, it was legislated into being, by Congress.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I am amused by the commentary entered by lycomu. They seem to be more interested in comparing the Democrats candidate for President to the Republicans candidate for Vice President, at least until we get to the "family issues". Then all of a sudden they no longer choose to continue with that comparison, they switch to comparing the two Presidential candidates. Ain't it amazing how easy it is to cherry pick when it's convenient? I am curious why you didn't compare the two candidates for President straight across the board? Is it because your points would have been lost?
