What they fail to realise is our entire public school system is based on socialism. While it might not be the best school system in this day and age but that's mainly because it's under funded not because the system doesn't work.

A little more confrontational than I'd have said it, but essentially a good post. I wouldn't say it applies to all right-wingers though. As it happens I am conservative in my thinking as it pertains to matters of business, economics, finance etc, yet I know full well what socialism is and the benifits that having it around (not in whole but in part) can bring to a country. It isn't the horrid evil thing to be feared that some of my neighbors south of the border seem to want to believe it is.
So... good thread. (even if the guy who started it did seem to want to debate more and learn/ask questions less)
