    Now you are trying to divert the attention away from your ignorant statement about there being no prosperity in Europe. You cannot claim there is Communism that is equal and the same as Socialism in Europe ... or anywhere else for that matter. The two are not the same. To try to lump them together is an impossible position and one a person with any knowledge of econimic systems would never make.

    You claim Obama is leading us to Socialism, but from your comments I do not believe you have any real idea what the Socialist economic theory says.

    Anyway, your hero Bush has done more to socialize the US than any socialist candidate could ever have hoped to accomplish. Also he and the conservative Republicans have spent us into poverty. They have mortgated your great-grandchildren's future.

    Here is an article on the Prosperity in Europe's health care.

    So what is your point? The health care in Europe, at least the parts I have seen, are good. That they are using private insurance more than before is probably good. Competition usually improves the product.

    You probably think that I am completely in favor of Socialism. I am not. But there is so much confusion and disinformation being put forth in the US during this campaign trying to link Communism and Socialism that I respond to such statements. It isn't so!

    Also, anything from the Heritage Foundation must be taken with a grain of salt. That is true of organizations on both sides of the political spectrum. The Heritage Foundation publishes some good stuff, but they have their own agenda and that has to be kept in mind.

    Gotta go downtown Prague now, so I won't be able to respond probably until tonight or tomorrow.

    Have a blessed day.

    With all the evidance out there, by Obama himself, how can anyone argue he isn't preachng socialism and communism, he has said it himself. No private ownership of anything, homes, lands, businesses, you can only lose. No one has to believe any republican, just listen to obama, he tells you, he isn't hiding it. Sadly though many are decieved and blinded, even christians.

    This doesn't answer the question I was talking about. But by what standards are they measuring these countries? Are they socialist standards?

    But hey maybe you are ready to answer my question. What goals and objectives found here are not part of the democrats and especially Obama's agenda?

    Obama's ideas for "change" are a very dangerous threat to our country.

    You were talking about the "Socialist countries of Europe." I highlighted European countries. Which ones do you regard as socialist?
