I didn't know Buffy was a repub. I knew a lot of the rest, except for a few. I bet there are probably a lot of closeted republicans in Hollywood but props to those who are brave enough to admit it.

Definitely the others mentioned are well-known socialists. They have more compassion for their fellow man than awareness of why a strict socialist nation can't survive.

I would not call him an actor, he's a celebrity: Michael Moore. Of course the distinction should be made that he wants socialism for US, not himself. He's international. He doesn't need to live here, his money gives him many choices the rest of us do not have.
That's what is so damn sinister about these leftist, socialist celebs. They will retain their money and freedom while advocating socialism for us poor slobs who don't have the resources they do. Bastards.

The term socialist is often used to stir up visions of communist russia.
red scare paranoia.
Are any of the people mentioned actually socialists?
There is a socialist party and the Pledge of Allegiance was written by a member of that party. The right embraces the Socialist Pledge but tells everyone to be afraid of people that think differently because even though they're not members of any form of socialist party, they disagree and must be socialists.

You don't have to be a card-carrying member to subscribe to Socialism.
The RINO right has embraced socialist-style spending in the past, which is why the Tea Party was formed in order to expunge them from the party.
Democrats will have to do the same with the Progressives, post-Obama in order to ever have any power again. Good luck. It takes an iron fist to get the message across, but in the end, they "get" it. Just look at the exodus of RINOs from the republican party. I bet politicians will think twice before pulling this RINO BS ever again. :D

Like people who believe it's okay to coercively seize income from those who've earned it and give it to those who have not.
In other words, folks who envy the wealthy and seek to punish them for their success by stealing their money and giving it to people who have not earned it. The only difference between this and armed robbery is it isn't done at the point of a gun, yet.

Citation please.
The Pledge of Allegiance. You mean the right doesn't embrace it?
The RINO right has embraced socialist-style spending in the past, which is why the Tea Party was formed in order to expunge them from the party.
Now all the federally elected Republicans from 2000 to 2006, outside of maybe Jim DeMint and Ron Paul are RINOs? They all voted for the tax cuts and the spending increases.
They are not RINOs. This is what the Republican party has done since Reagan. This is what they will do again.
Some of the aforementioned have embraced and hugged on Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, the rest have hugged on their ideologies. You don't have to be a card-carrying member to subscribe to Socialism.

Having fire depts doesn't mean the federal govt should also control private businesses and our healthcare system.
Given a choice, I'd prefer 'every man for himself' over a 'half sit in the wagon while half pull the wagon' society.

We've always had small amounts of socialism, but most of our society was based on the free market. The closer to the free market a country is, the more free its citizens are.

But you just admitted that your idea of freedom means being able to put on make-up while driving down the road without having to worry about getting a ticket for endangering the safety of others.
I submit that a society is much better off when there is a healthy balance between socialism and capitalism.
Unfortunately, we have working people who show blind allegiance to the free market, thinking it is the savior of us all. Without realizing that unregulated capitalism is what is keeping them on the bottom.
You take a schmuck like Joe the Plumber who crawls on his belly under someones house to fix a leaky sewage line and he gets taxed at 30%, but some day trader , shuffling paper makes 10 million bucks before lunch, walks away with the whole pie, simply because he knows how to game the system. But somehow that's fair? That's freedom? GMAFB!!! :talktothehand:

It doesn't happen at once. Slowly chipping away at the small things is how freedom is lost. Like an animal who takes food from the same place every night even though a trap is being slowly built around it. Eventually, you will be able to shut the door.

Life isn't "fair" and everyone isn't "equal". I'm sorry but that's called reality. I'm not asking for that. But it would be nice if the game were not rigged in the favor of the already rich.

Sounds a little paranoid to me Loss of freedom begins with small things, and before you know it, the govt controls your life. I don't want the govt in my house, my car, my refrigerator. I want them out of my life.
I'm not asking for that. But it would be nice if the game were not rigged in the favor of the already rich. I don't understand. How are things 'rigged for the rich'?
I'm not advocating stealing their money. The govt 'taking' money from the successful [or anyone] is stealing.
But hoarding money helps no one and we're all on this boat together. That is only for the individual who actually earns to the money to decide. Certainly not the federal government.
Class envy....lmaoThat is what it is, and it's not a becoming theme for anyone.
Being successful is not bad, it's not a crime, it's not to be looked down upon -- it's the American dream and I applaud anyone who makes it.
I am not 'rich', however the constant demonization of anyone who does well for themselves makes me sick. A poor person has never given me a job. A poor person will never give you a job. People are not entitled to what rightfully belongs to someone else. Everyone is not equal in the lottery of life. Life isn't fair. No one ever said it would be. You can only play the hand you were dealt as best you can.
