Frankly I see socialism as a positive good for society and have no fear of it at all.
There are many types of socialism and while Marxism (a form of socialism) is atheistic, there have been societies of Christian communists in the past and it behooves us to be careful when talking without being more specific. The Christians in Jerusalem (after the crucifixion) had a communistic society there.

Yeah, I would think if you're black you wouldn't be a huge fan of the Democratic party.
TOO MANY ABORTED <--- good site
Unfortunately, the Republicans aren't that much better about addressing the issues left over from previous decades.

Well, as long as they don't join the Republican Party, I'll agree with you.
I admit, I am very disappointed in our current president. I had higher hopes for him, and to discover that he's just as bad as any other politician is a little disheartening.
There was a thread recently asking what church Jesus would attend if he were here today. I wonder if he would have anything kind to say of any political party in the US today. Certainly not to either of the 2 major parties, nor to the "Tea Party," all of whom seem to want to claim him without following him.

Actually Jimmy, many of the elections of the 19th century were worse for the name calling as this one, the main difference was that they did not have the visual medium like Television to broadcast their political tripe. The election of 1800 was one of America's earliest and candidates did not even dare to run directly for office back then it was thought to be far too socially forward. Some of the elections of the 1850's and 1860's were horrible given the editorial cartoons were amazing in their insulting and derogatory content.

Sense when has our country been a country of only two political parties? Yes, the Democrats and Republicans have been the major parties, so much so, that the others have a hard time revealing themselves. But, we have always had at least three parties in our country for at least the last 100 years. If you are not aware, we do have the Constitution Party, the Libertarians, and the Green party. There are probably a few others I'm unaware of, but there are at least 5 parties at this time nationwide in our country.

That's because we have been trained to think that way. Not to mention that the other parties tend not to have all the money that the Republicans and Democrats have. If the independents really wanted to, they could strike fear into both the Democrats and Republicans, by voting for a third party.
I knew there was one missing.
Don't forget the "grass roots" party 
In congress the two party system is the way the committee assignments are given out and someone from a third party is unlikely to get any committee chairs much less actually have much to say about how congress was run on a daily basis. Its a lonely existence for one of the few non republican/democratic members.

When a 3rd party runs for president, the outcome is that it splits the vote of its end of the spectrum.
Ross Perot was relatively conservative. When he ran, it split the Republican vote, and the Democrat won.
Ralph Nader was relatively liberal. When he ran, it split the Democratic vote, and the Republican won.
Whether or not this is "fair" or "wise" or "the way it should be," this is the way it IS. You can cry and moan and hold your breath until you're blue in the face, that's not going to stop it from being true.
Simply having additional parties is not enough to break the practical 2-party system that exists in this country. We need a total upheaval, and I honestly don't know what it would take to undo what has been done. I think both current parties (D and R) need to go away, and the electoral college needs to go away.
3rd parties occasionally win in congress. Perhaps having a president elected or selected from among the congressional leaders would be one solution.

To be honest, I think the only way real change would come is to remove the party and vote for individuals alone, including the VP. Each candidate would be required to stand on their own merits and not a party's. But, that might require a total reconstruction in other areas as well. And even then, it still might not work, as people still would band together, thus maybe creating new parties.

Amen! I agree with this poster 100%. I don't like the Democratic party evil views. I am "Black" and disgusted by the way Democrats always bring up race in EVERYTHING!! Why can't I be treated like a normal American by these people? NO - I dont need help getting a job, I don't need handouts and I REALLY don't need any assistance getting into school because of my skin color!
Democrats try to keep us Americas separated, and Obama is doing a bang up job with the lies....why can't people work for what they earn, keep what they earn, and help those in needs?! Because we took God out of this nation. That's why. :l
