Instead of labeling our leaders as Capitalists, Socialists, Communists, etc...why dont we just stop the labels and see who can help out our country the best???Look at the person, not the label or party.....Also, I do not think our Congressmen or Senators are Socialists....just because some want national healthcare....Canada and England have this and they are still capitalistic and democracies.....People are too quick to put some ideas into a category....Let's see what works best for our country that is permitted with our Constitution....and forget labeling people

we have a saying among seniors who are actively Trying to live the rest of a life "old age is NOT for sissies", and if you think about it the young would for the most part have a hard time dealing with the open heart surgery pain, the Cancer Pain, the Inability to breathe, and still get up and go to work, like thier fathers, grandfathers still do ( mothers and grandmothers too)

however...it is amazing that we were probably once just as tenderfoot yet the older we got, the stronger we got. Our folks didn't think we had what it took yet here we are keeping ourselves and kids plus them above water. I think our young will figure it out, too.

at 65 i care less about what others care about, but i am more concerned about our countries future, with who is in the white house, and those that follow him. i grew up hating communism...today they are in the white house....i grew up with freedom and independence is everything...today in the white house, that feeling is not there.....i grew up trusting our government...today...guess what.

I have to agree, al.
if JfK had seen the future he would have sunk the boat himself.
if Eisenhower had seen 2012 , he would have cancelled the landings as a waste of his generations lifeblood

you are so right. the scary part is that people will vote for obama in november even after seeing what he is for the past 4 years. they will still deny that he is a communist at heart. he is not honest, he is not smart and is probably the worst president yet, worse than carter.
