when the commercials first came out for the longest time everyone knew the duck and the commercials but never knew what the company did. lol

wikedia definition aside, the reality of thier platform is the same as the 10 planks of the communist manifesto. you have to dig a little deeper than a dictonary definition to find the truth sometimes. wikedia disinformation encyclopedia? when looking for the truth we want to look at all the availanle information, not one 3 minute search.

I have been searching for a long time, where I come from we have a lot of liberals, they even have their own party.
Liberal comes from liberty, and a lot of that was taken away by your president. If you like that better, have it your way.

i don't think you can say that it is communism because socialism is just a part of communism. they are two different things that are often linked together because of marx and lenin. the united states isn't a complete socialist society and i don't think you can blame the liberals for it because we don't deviate from it when republicans(conservatives) are in power.

I don't think liberalism is communism. Damn, why am I here in this current events area again? I do not think they are even close actually. As soon as you step across Roosevelt's New Deal threshold you are moving into socialist area, but who wants to go back to the way things were before his era? If there were no social security for example, things would be horrible for older people, and even as their children may be generous, they would still be a huge burden on them. It is hard to maintain dignity when you are a burden on others. For elderly people with no children and no savings life would be horrible.

As soon as you make the national commitment to care for the elderly the issue is not whether or not to include elements of socialism in your society, but to decide how much to include.

I think there must be a little bit of liberalism in all but the most extreme of us in this country. Making choices as a country to not abandon the needy is a moral thing to do, and it contributes to social stability. Governments have known for thousands of years that if you ignore the needy you will have revolt. People with needs must have those needs met.

Some people in any social system may fall into the lazy category and they take advantage of the national welfare system. They may have a different sort of creativity and be artists rather than bricklayers or they may even have no ambition or drive, but if you leave them out all of society goes to hell. We are going to have to trust that enough people have ambition and capabilities that things will work out.

Just don't limit the money supply so that the productive ones are unable to sell their products. Then everyone would starve.

uh huh. dont worry be happy while our rights are given away on the installment plan.

what does liberalism have to do with losing our rights?

Duck is the common name for a number of species in the Anatidae family of birds. The ducks are divided between several subfamilies listed in full in the Anatidae article. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than their relatives the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
