"The Democratic party has been radicalized," Rubio said.

The growing popularity of Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) proves that Democrats, not Republicans, have been “radicalized” over the course of the 2016 presidential election, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said on Wednesday.

Speaking in front of an audience in South Carolina, the Republican presidential candidate pushed back against claims that Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have driven the Republican party toward the radical right. Those claims were sparked after Trump proposed policies like banning all Muslims from entering the United States and killing the families of terrorists, and Cruz proposed “carpet bombing” ISIS.
But according to Rubio, it’s the Democrats who have gone too far.

75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/29/1078852/-75-Ways-Socialism-Has-Improved-America

Well I hate to be the one to tell you, but Socialism, which you have been told to fear all your life, is responsible for all this...

1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.

2. Highways/Roads - Those roads and highways you drive on every single day are completely taxpayer funded. Your tax dollars are used to maintain, expand, and preserve our highways and roads for every one's use. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany's autobahn and implemented the idea right here in America. That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away.

3. Public Libraries - Yes. That place where you go to check out books from conservative authors telling you how horrible socialism is, is in fact socialism. Libraries are taxpayer funded. You pay a few bucks to get a library card and you can read books for free for the rest of your life.

4. Police - Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?

1. He probably thinks Vermont is a socialist country

[intrepidity]

2. And if you want a theocracy, move to one of those places n/t

[MagickMuffin]

3. Why should we have to move, they are the ones with the problem

They should move instead, however, I'm not sure anyone would want them!

[TBF]

4. Roboto, my family has been here since 1635 -

and we moved here for religious freedom (yes I am descended from one of the Puritans).

Since I've been here WAY longer I think you should be the one to leave.

[immoderate]

5. We have not yet BEGUN to democratize!

[brooklynite]

6. ...and the fact that you have to explain the difference is the problem.

If only Sanders had called himself a Social Democrat (which he is) and not a Democratic Socialist.

[Glamrock]

20. Eh,

I don't think that boogeyman works on anyone except the avid Fox viewers/Limbaugh listeners...

[Vinca]

7. Rubio should have finished the thought -

"Move to a socialist country and live longer, healthier, happier lives and get an education free from smothering debt." Curious the most popular programs in this country are considered socialism.

[dimple]

8. Uh I don't think the US Military, the police, or the CIA are socialist programs.

That is a really bad list.

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. Who funds them? Ultimately, the people do for the greater good.

In that sense they are "socialist."

[dimple]

22. I guess you could say private property is a socialist program

since the whole apparatus set up to protect it is paid for out of tax revenue?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

13. Of course they are --

We, as members of our country, State, and cities have decided -- collectively -- that our communities would benefit from these services and have made a social agreement to -- collectively -- fund them through our taxes.

That is a pretty basic form of socialism.

[Iggo]

15. Then you'd be wrong then.

[Gregorian]

9. This man would make a frightening president.

A few of these guys are worse than bush. I don't even think trump is the worst. He might have a heart in there somewhere.

[Octafish]

11. No, Rubio. If you don't believe in democracy, buzz off.

Take your white boots with you.

[JI7]

12. Rubio is a rehearsed douchebag

[Whiskeytide]

16. But don't forget to add that Rubio is a rehearsed douchebag! n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

19. And let's dispel with this fiction that Rubio is not a rehearsed douchebag. He's exactly rehearsed.

[Whiskeytide]

21. And the American people need to realize that Rubio IS a rehearsed douchebag! n/t

[Iggo]

14. Or just, you know, vote for him.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. "Love it or Leave it" is baaaack!

[hifiguy]

18. If I could, I would, you dick-brained

Eddie Haskell wannabe. Too old, too broke.
