Socialism: the joke is on you!

I have been listening to some of the clips where the right wingers are whinning about the idea of universal health care and calling it socialism and doing the same thing when it comes to other ideas coming out of the White House. I have this question for them: are they aware that they lost the election? When a majority votes one party out of office, it means that they are tired of their policies and ideas and if we take this line of reasoning one step further we could even argue that they are saying that the policies were a failure.

Now coming back to socialism. There is no socialist government in the USA, nor will there ever be. The right wingers harping on and on about this subject are merely replaying old propaganda that never really held any meaning. They also love to refer to socialist Europe. Can someone tell me where socialist Europe is? I don´t know, maybe we could say Spain but they don´t have a socialist system so I guess that is out.

The American propaganda voices need this notion of socialism being a threat to our everyday lives to remain somehow relevant in this day and age. I only wish they knew what they were talking about.
