That's not quite as bad as old people protesting "Socialist health care." I'm not sure what the hell they think Medicare is.
I'm still waiting for those same people against "socialized health care" to also protest our socialized military. We all pay taxes, and the government pays for a military which is said to protect the country from external threats. Thus it would seem like it is socialized, no? One government-run organization, we all pay, we all get equal protection.
But that's ok, because it's an organization whose most final goal is to have the ability to efficiently kill people, not help them live.

It's okay because it's in the Constitution. Geesh, do you guys have anything better to do?

So its not Socialism because its in the Constitution?

Careful, this forum is full of wide-eyed college kids who are just getting back from some liberal blow-hard professor's "lecture."

Interestingly, I was a conservative until well after I graduated college. Then Bush showed me the true meaning of conservatism and I've been a liberal ever since.

Bush was not a conservative. A jackass maybe, but not a true conservative.

Bush is a modern era conservative and a fine representative of the Republican breed. Conservatives in the sense you're thinking of haven't existed in decades.

No, he's not, not even close. Trying to call him one, and lump actual conservatives in with him and his ilk is pathetically, intellectually dishonest on all levels.

Look, I know Bush, Palin, Reagan, Cheney, and all of them have shit all over the traditional conservative philosophy and beliefs. Unfortunately for you, their authoritarian, Big Military, Corporatist philosophy is current day Conservatism.

Kinda interesting that less than 10% of scientists and only about 15% of college professors identify themselves as republicans.
A medical or law degree takes longer than a PhD in physics but people don't like to think of doctors and lawyers as being more educated than scientists. If you want to know what the most educated people think, you should probably look a bit closer at income level since doctors, lawyers, and MBAs are typically in the higher income brackets.

If you measure "educated" by length of time in school, then Palin is one of the most educated people ever.

Still beating the Palin drum - eh? Be afraid, be very afraid.
