Norman Matton Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a
leading
American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for
the
Socialist Party of America. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister
in
1911. As a candidate for President of the U. S., Norman Thomas said, in
a
1944 epoch speech:
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under
the
name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist
program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without
knowing
how it happened."

He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate
for
the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

Gee, Lu...you discovered norman thomas 40 years after he died.

Thomas was a very decent man, and a devout anti-Communist. Bet you
didn't know that. Bet you didn't know that George Meany was fiercely
anti-Communist. Oh...wait...you don't know who Meany was, right?

Meany was only concerned with losing his seat at the top of labor.

You must have been a hell of a racist cop.

Ask the liberal New York Representative who wants to run for New York's
senate seat about being racist.

There's nothing wrong with modern socialism. There are a number of
prosperous European nations that have adopted socialism and made it
their own.

"Made it their own?" What does that mean?

Socialism makes the individual subservient to the the state and destroys
liberty in the name of "the social good."

Ahhh. Been reading that right-wing bull**** again, eh?

Always tries to destroy the messenger, never addresses the issues. No wonder
he's so fondly referred to as WAFA. Harry's reference to me as a racist cop
is over the top. I'm leaving him to this group. Going to switch to one that
has some signs of intelligent life.- Hide quoted text -

Hell, I'm just surprised that Harry didn't try and tell a lie about
how he used to hang out with the guy!
