The Stupidity of Socialism

Most thinking people with any life experience knows that Socialism is a fools game.  As Maggie Thatcher famously said, "sooner or later you run out of other people's money".  You can look at almost anyplace in history that has tried Socialism and you'll find a trail of broken dreams, death, starvation, and wrecked societies.  And yet, we have an old Commie in his late 70's propagandizing and lulling our people into believing that Socialism will work.  I believe he is the biggest danger to our way of life since the Soviet Union.  The only good news that I can see is that there are enough people out there who will reject his deadly message and will eventually reject him.  But he has won the first two Democratic primaries and is on a roll.  We'll have to see how it unfolds in the coming weeks and the conventional wisdom is that he'll fade as he gets to a bigger audience and/or the Democratic base will somehow take him out.  I don't particularly care how it occurs, but I sure hope that conventional wisdom is right.
