    I think it's hilarious how GWB jr./sr. and Reagen fit the criteria though.

    no child left behind

    Reagen's banks.

    expanding federal deficits, hmm. surprisingly a democrat finds himself on the good side of that particular issue.

    see Iraq

    homeland security, patriot act?

    LOL @ the colors! Yep, red states taking more in federal money than they generate for the GDP, while New York, Mass, and Cali have to fork it over. Man, that is a priceless image!

    Um isn't Louisiana a major red state being run by that Indian guy? Also that same guy is being groomed to be a candidate for the Republican party?

    Nepoleonic Code has socialist views. Which is what the views of the Socialist party in France is based off of.

    When the Code Napoleon was introduced in 1804 (only remnants of which still exist in the LRS, given the Louisiana purchase occurred in 1803) Karl Marx was 14 years....from being born.

    I'm not even going to touch the other part of your fail. Let's just discuss this fail. And by discuss I mean "ridicule"

    Go ahead and ridicule, but if you deny that the Nepoleanic Code supports Socialist views, your just ignorant.

    Rodan was no Socialist. Notice how the white house on the left is untouched.

    A socialist is anyone who does not believe in the unfettered libertarian principle of government by the wealthy. free of any state activity other than protecting the property rights of the rich.

    Government activity that is designed to interfere with the freedom of an employee to starve rather than work for whatever employers choose out of the goodness of their hearts to offer is especially suspect. :)

    the irony in this statement is too thick to handle.

    I think Rodan is quite a socialist. Notice his intense plan for urban renewal, without any contracts awarded to big development companies.
