Many times I have pointed out how liberals want socialism, but can't define the term. When liberal claims they know how to define it, they stutter and spout off some crazy definition. One even claimed it is the "ability to socialize. As sad as this sounds; if CNN were to claim it was best if they all jumped off of a cliff, the "liberal horde" would do so--no questions asked!
Very often bad and failed ideas do not die, they simply reappear during periods of supposed social and political crisis in slightly different intellectual garb, and offer “solutions” that would merely help to bring about some of the very types of crises for which they once again claim to have the answers.
