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?

You must have been a hell of a racist cop.

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

Correct. No argument from me.
Keep it in Europe, not the USA.

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."

Funny thing about that whole Eurozone style socialism.

It's falling more and more out of favour.

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.

Ah, don't let him get to you. Poor Harry has been well indoctrinated in
the "attack the messenger" method of debate, common to many lefty liberals.
Just watch Olbermann a few times while he yuks it up with his liberal
guests, high-fiving each other and sneering at the camera while making
derogatory or insulting innuendos or references to those who don't follow
his/their "enlightened" path.

Harry really is a version of the same thing, but he only has two or three
that he can high-five it with here. Most of the more left leaning
participants in rec.boats can debate or discuss an issue without resorting
to personal attacks.

1. Debate? Debate who? Debate what? There's no debate in this newsgroup,
just the usual suspect trading slams.

2. When you're dealing with truly stupid people or truly stupid talking
points, the best response isn't one filled with facts and figures, but
rather snarky dismissiveness.

And, no...I don't consider you one of the truly stupid.
