[quote:Hieronymous Toward:MV8xNTQ1NjU3XzI1NTI0NTAzXzc1MzJEMzVB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1444006] The American educational system is pushing Socialism. The New World Order will be a one world totalitarian socialist government. That's why a bunch of leftists run our educational system, universities, and media. [/quote] Bunkum and rot; I don't see an ounce of left-wing viewpoints in the US media. The Young Turks come close, but that's about it. The problem is that in the US, the right-wing is so far right, that what you call 'left-wing' is still very much a centre-right message.. it's just that it's not quite so extreme. Why do you think that Americans have been denied quality free universal healthcare that most other civilised countries have? Because the right-wing lobby doesn't want it because billionaire business owners will lose money. [/quote]

It mystifies me how the capitalist loving right-wingers of the world somehow think that they're a reflection of Jesus and Christianity.
If you read the Bible, Jesus was clearly a socialist - it's self-evident in everything he does!
He turfed the money-lenders from the bank, he distributed and shared things for free, he healed people without asking for anything in return, he promoted acceptance of people of all races, colour and creed.
Jesus was the proto-socialist!
Does anyone think the right-wing nutters realise this are they all too thick?
