..........Socialists?

I used to get so angry at the right-wingnut talk show types (Rush Limpbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc.), talking about how the Democrats were taking us straight into Socialism! Dear right-wing-nut-jobs; explain Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and now AIG! The government now owns the biggest financial machines in the country! The $85 billion AIG bailout while we all slept was the crowning blow. I know, I know, if they had been allowed to fail the US and world financial markets would have been in disaster and complete ruin. Somebody had to do something, right? I'm sure glad all the deregulation of said markets/financial firms made things better for the US economy; and, I'm really glad that speculations play no role whatsoever in this whole mess. Thank goodness for conservatives like Phil Gramm! Oh, and did you know that global warming doesn't really exist?
