Quote:I believe in states rights to a certain degree, but history has shown that full sovereignty for states produces many bad things as well. There are certain things that the country should not allow to happen.

 

 

That's fine. Being an anti-socialist is just another point of view. However, I assume you won't vilify someone for wanting to incorporate some socialist-style programs. Like the military. We need to be open to different view points. There are many socialist-like programs in Europe that have increased the quality of life for people. No one can deny that. Yes, it has caused financial issues, but it's all new. You have to give time to work out the "kinks" so to speak. 

 

I just can't understand how people can be so against differing opinions in this country. That's what this place is all about...there was a time in this country where having communist or socialist views would land you in jail or . That's a point that is sorely understated in American history.
