You'll need to define the "socialism" that has "never worked". Sweden has had a form of socialism that has worked very nicely for over 80 years, and Sweden is one of the richest, healthiest and most politically stable societies on the planet. The US itself has a had a form of socialism since the "new deal", although this has been gradually eroded since the early '80's, it is nonetheless a form of socialism. So which specific kind do you object to?

In regards to my intellectual prowess I do believe you are at a loss. I'm currently enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Engineer. I highly doubt you have such weight associated with your title but I could be highly mistaken. I'm not the moron you accuse me of being in any sense of the word. I do know quite a bit about European History since I've taken the most rigorous courses in history for the International Baccalaureate program. Please tell me.... what are your qualifications?

It's been proven countless times that socialism NEVER works. Can't think of single example that works in your favor. By the way... I love how you tied your hatred of Van Halen into a conversation about politics. That just makes so much sense in the context of this "debate." Yes! Let's throw some nonsensical garbage into a sentence and then proceed to talk about something completely beside the point!

One of the most abhorrent arguments someone can make against socialists is comparing socialists who are concerned with fair national health care, education, and housing programs, and who respect democratic rule of law and democratic elections with Maoists and Stalinists. It's repulsive and it's an argument made when someone can't come up with logical arguments with socialism itself and who'd rather make excuses to be greedy. Now what happens when you take RELIGION to its logical conclusion?

Forresten, Van Halen sucks. Not only are they arrogant but all the sing about are blondes and being rich. Their vocals make them sound like some third rate band that you'd throw beer bottles at in a bar.

What do you mean "you're" as if socialists in Europe and Stalinists in Russia and Maoists in China have anything to do with each other. I think you're the one with the skewed logic, as you don't seem to know the difference between a Social Democrat and a national socialist, and I'm sure you're the kind of person who can't tell the difference between Stalin and Gorbachev, just because they both happen to speak Russia. How's that for skewed logic and the pseudosophic garbage of Mike Savage.

Ahhh..... but you are the ones who have murdered more people with atheistic communism then all the "religious" wars combined. Let's all go to China and eat tree bark because Mao Tse Tung took all the food! (or) Let's go to eastern Germany where you'll be shot on sight if you try to go to the west! (or) Let's go to Cuba where you will be tortured without mercy if you try to be capitalist! I just love skewed logic... don't you?!?

I was referring to conservatives who try to construct a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and women and overturn roe versus wade.

Does anybody? TheBbible hasn't been a source of government since the heyday of the catholic church, and if you're referring to Shari'a, you're several centuries off.

The bulk of British voters live in England but not in London.
