How do you know that you are a socialist? October 22, 2008 by Jeffrey Tucker  This is one weird article in the Chicago Tribune. It quotes a real-life communist complaining about the "red baiting." One might suppose that if you call yourself a communist, you might be "read baited" just a bit.  Otherwise the article is pretty mixed up. It denies that Obama is a socialist but says that socialism "involves espousing government control over a country's basic industries, like transportation, communication and energy, while also allowing some government regulation of private industries."  By that standard, it would seem that that the entire political establishment, which approves of government control and regulation over darn near everything, is socialist.  -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.

Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.

Government is only as strong as those who allow themselves to be governed are weak.
