		<description>Tracy, if socialism really "rewards the mediocre"...you should be all for it.
Nothing in your blog suggests much intelligence, especially your silly anti-liberal rants.</description>

		<description>Theo, theo, the 0.  I was not comparing Osama and socialism, I was stating that those that would actively cheat a system (ILLEGAL immigration apologists) are giving those that seek to destroy that system a clear advantage.  If you diminish a system in all thoughts, words and deeds, then that system becomes vulnerable to all types of corruption.  The more politicians seek to game the tax code for the benefit of some, the more the tax system becomes corrupt, the easier it becomes for those with no morals to abuse the system.  

But, The 0, you don't buy the whole capitalism/democracy BS anyway.  What's the matta, you got the hots for socialism because it rewards the mediocre and you think that is more fair to you?  Why are we debating with a moran?  You complain: " A major American city partially destroyed, thousands dead and many more displaced."  I feel your pain.  You have to blame someone for all that has befallen you because to actually look in the mirror, well, it has to be SOMEONE'S fault...not yours.</description>

		<description>#3, Gee, did I say that people don't steal in capitalist economies? Stealing is not the exclusive province of capitalists (see Castro, Chavez, etc.).

Capitalism is like what Churchill said about democracy -- It's the worst form of organizing an economy there is, except for every other one that's been tried.

And governments (Dem or Rep) have a hard time keeping business people honest. Or did you forget about all those who benefitted from hyping those hopeless dotcom companies during the 1990s while the SEC stood by?

Funny, dictionary.com doesn't have "moran" as a word, only as a name for a few places:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=moran

		<description>I spelled "moran" just fine:
&lt;a href="http://theocracy.wordpress.com/2006/04/07/new-link-category/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://theocracy.wordpress.com/2006/04/07/new-link-category/&lt;/a&gt;

And people don't steal in capitalist economies?
In addition to stealing elections, righty capitalists steal plenty.
What about Kenny Boy, et al.? What about offshore tax shelters? Corporate welfare?
Government (well, not THIS administration) is supposed to keep capitalists honest and the people protected.</description>

		<description>#1, Nobody is "comparing socialism to Osama bin Laden." You see, socialism is a concept and a form of government. Osama is a person. Debate 101 my eye.

As long as socialist countries oppress their citizens, people like Osama and others will be able to point to prosperous countries and claim they are that way because they stole it. This is why spreading democracy and capitalism is a good thing. 

As to your quibble, add the words "with a safety net" every time you see the word capitalism in the post, and get over it.

And the least you could do is spell "moron" correctly.</description>

		<description>Most absurd post ever. Every country in the world is a mixed economy.
America's never been purely capitalist (no country ever has - at least socialism gave that a shot), and it never will be.
You morans don't exactly advance your point by comparing socialism to Osama bin Laden.
Back to Debate 101 with all of you.</description>
