We've even staved off the rightwingnuts drive to turn this country into a fascist state.

The State does not own the means of production nor the profits there from. Socially, we may have opened the doors of freedom to some Americans who some don't think deserve equal freedom but, it's only fair you know, every man created equal and all.

Yet we've seen the USSR fold, lived through two major banking/economic failures and believe it or not, a black man living in the Whitehouse. Imagine that, nearly 240 years and the commies still haven't taken over America.

Ok, I'll bite. How wil this sad injustice to these common criminals finally bring down the house upon us? Please enlighten us.
