Divisiveness is never and option in a time of crisis. The Coffee Party was recently formed with exactly that thought in mind. The link is here: http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/. Also, I did decide to further explore our "competitive market" system. I didn't label it a "free enterprise" system for reasons explained therein.

But the REAL DEAL is that we have never HAD a capitalist system. Proponents of capitalism have set it apart from the REAL system because that is the part they want to concentrate on. We have and have always had a "free enterprise" system - which necessarily incorporates aspects of capitalism AND socialism. I'll expand on THAT further in a future article, either here (if it turns out to be a short one) or at http://4amoreperfectunion.blogspot.com if it turns out to be a longer one. We are!

Most of the commnets i have ever heard about socialism has always been in the negative, coming from conservative camps.

After reading this article, it appears that we all already are and have been benefitting from, “socialism”.

You see the typical argument against "social welfare programs" is that they are contrary to the American tradition. The fact is that the preamble to the Constitution states its purpose as: "in order to form <em><strong>a more perfect Union</strong></em>, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence[sic], promote the <em><strong>general welfare</strong></em>, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our prosperity".

This means, "God is great" or "God is the greatest", depending on who you ask. Allah, incidentally, is not a PERSONAL name for God, such as Jehovah, Yahweh, Isis, Horus, Zeus, etc. Allah is merely the Arabic word for "god". The only point here is that there are fanatics in any religion that believe they "kill in the name of God". Thus, they invoke his name upon starting their onslaught - seeking his protection as King David did before going into battle. So obviously many people cry out in the name of God before going into battle. I would say that it was prevalent in battles in the Korean War, World Wars I and II, The Gulf War, The Crusades, etc. EVERYBODY feels that God is on their side. EVEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS pray before their battle - as if God "has a dog in the fight"! Allahu Akbar is the "takbir" (we would call it a mantra) Muslims use both in their call to prayer and as affirmations of their spiritual lifestyle. The problem is truly with the media who posit "Allahu Akbar" as a "Battle Cry" used by extremist Muslims. Thus, they add to the anxiety of many unlearned Americans who then suspect every Muslim usage of the phrase to be a prelude to terror. It is a phrase used in greetings as well - just as Christians in my neck of the woods exclaim that "God is Good" with regularity. And - although an abortion clinic bomber might utter, "God is Good" before doing his dastardly dead - NO US media outlet would proclaim "God is Good" to be the "battle cry of the Christian extremists", making all Christians uttering the phrase suspect!
