Your being a Ute and Marist graduate, it kinda surprises me you feel that way.

Well, I never fit in politically with the majority at Marist. And there are a lot of capitalists that are in the Ute crowd. I'd even guess that there are more liberals in the BYU crowd than conservatives in the Ute crowd based on the larger number of fans. One only needs to look at how many folks who like socialism on this board.

well when a school has four fans, and one is a conservative, I kinda see what you mean.

You have Triplet, Cali, Chino and a few others so I see your point.

You can't make me NOT love you, so just stop right now.

There are 6 Ute fans at my house alone. And 7 more down the street. All are conservative or are being raised to be conservatives.

I wouldn't say DDD loves socialism - he's just confused. He'll grow out of it as he gets older and starts to earn your kind of $$$.

Is he going to get his salary cut in half? Poor dude, I pity him then.

DDD is a socialist, if it looks and acts like a duck....

Wow, so you must feel like the FLDS in Texas, isolated in a compound about to be raided by Rocky's police. Or have Utestar do a metro number on you.

A fair assessment. But if they raid, I'll pull a Singer on them and the outcome will be different because I can kick all of their asses. That Rocky has never challenged me is proof that I really am tough.

If you are using the term 'socialist" in the marxist sense, then I would disagree. I am not interested in any revolution, the proletariat rebellion, communist evolution, etc..

I think people here confuse the issue. I am left leaning on my social views--I dont mind if gays get married, it doesnt bother me. I also am not opposed to amnesty for illegals. I don't want guns placed into vending machines so that everyone can protect their home.

As for economic issues, I do NOT like paying lots of taxes. But I also understand that taxes fund our nation. It is a necessary evil.

If you pay your tithing, you are just as much a socialist. Or a communist.

I have also made clear that the likelihood of any politician converting our current medical system into a socialized regime is ridiculous. It will never happen, which is why I dont focus much on that issue.

Have to call you out on this one. Tithing is voluntary. Taxes are confiscatory. BIG difference.
