Since when is being a socialist some kind of radical extremist?

Social Security, Unemployment Benefits, Medicaid/Medicare, Minimum Wage, Workmans Comp -- all socialist policies

Fire Department, Police Department, Post Office -- all nationalized/socialized organizations

Last I checked, most of our politicians, even most Republicans, support most of these policies/organizations. But just don't use the "S" word!!!

Socialism is what liberalism is all about. The two are one and the same. Remember back when Bush Sr. ran for president and "Liberal" was a dirty word?? haha

How things have changed....
