Republicans Hate Socialism but Fund Socialist Countries
At the bottom of every post is the comments section. I can’t seem to get an answer from liberals and progressives, so I am calling on the conservatives/Tea Party/Christians/Right Wingers/and Libertarians to answer this nagging question that has been bothering me. And that question is: Why do Republicans hate socialism in the U.S. but support socialistic programs in other countries?
Confused? Allow me to explain.
The shooter in Connecticut had three firearms in his possession. We all agree that what happened was downright evil. But that’s where it all ends:

Two of the three firearms are not made in the USA. Sig Sauer is made in Germany and the Glock is made in Austria. Both are socialist countries and last I checked no Republican wants socialism in our country. That socialism is evil, and you folks called the president a socialist…huh?
The Sig Sauer is around $650 to $950, and the Glock is $520-$600. After the shooting, all three firearms are sold out. Demand is skyrocketing; because everyone them are scared that Obama will take away their firearms. They rushed out and bought oodles of guns and ammo. Because of free trade between the above-mentioned countries and the U.S., terrified Black Helicopter conservatives are promoting the health and welfare of these countries, and every other socialist country that sells firearms.
When a shooting occurs, the President talks about gun control, the Second Amendment conservatives panic, and buy weapons from Europe. The money then goes back to their respective country, the corporations pays taxes, the taxes go to their government, their government then pays for:
Free or affordable education
Single payer health care, something even more socialist than Obama Care
Equal pay for women
Vacation Pay
Sick Time
Disability equaling to 100% until they get better
Pension
Affordable Housing
Maintaining public transportation
Wind, solar and thermal power plants
A host of other socialist programs are being implemented in Europe because of Second Amendment American conservatives. So again, the same people who claim to hate socialism and call our President a socialist/fascist are willing to foot the bill for social programs that YOU do not have access to here in the United States.
Oh, and before you start posting: EUROPE BANS FIREARMS! Guess what, they don’t. They have stringent regulations on firearms, but they don’t ban. They don’t even have a Second Amendment. Also, remember in 2011 the shooting in Norway by right winger/Christian/Islamophobe Anders Breivik? No? He was convicted of murdering school children and blowing up government buildings.
And there was a cry for a ban. Not of firearms, but violent video games. There was no call to ban firearms, and sales did not skyrocket. These same Europeans also have rights to buy semi-auto rifles too.
Why do conservatives detest socialism in the United States when they are paying for socialistic programs in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Israel, France, and Italy?

We’re almost to slave labor again; a mix of corporate owned school-to-prison slave class and a corporate owned industrial school-to-work educational system.
We’ve become the USSR.

Americans don’t know what socialism is.They think that its communism.You have “progressives”here that do the same thing.The main reason those countries can and do the nice things for their citizens is because we protect them militarily.Other than France and The United Kingdom all NATO countries have the US as their main protector.Israel is so special that we the taxpayers subsidize their military.
Given the choice between health care and rolling back our empire I bet you a dollar what door Americans will pick.So far Afghanistan has cost 570 billion.How many of our children could have gotten a full ride at a university?We will never have that conversation because the media,the war corporations that own them and the politrickians who ,after leaving office who get to lobby and be employed by them wont allow it.

Great, now the RWNJ’s will realize their subsidy of Austria and Germany promotes Socialism, so the next hot gun will be from CHINA or Myanmar or Guatemala countries that subjugate labor, deny civil rights, and keep common folk poor and wretched

Because they’re flaming hypocrites in every way.
Gays are bad – until they do it with Republicans.
Churches protect pedophiles, while claiming the highest morality to tell others how to live their lives.
They cry about “free stuff” unless it’s them receiving it.
Many live in abject poverty but protect the wealthy with every bone in their bodies and complain about the entitlement programs workers pay into.
They call Democrats/Liberals every foul name in the book & claim we’re the ones who do it.
They’re bat shit crazy, are incapable of intelligent thought & say “HuH?” when the words -facts, logic, sarcasm, irony, humor are are mentioned. They have no idea of what any of them are.
What can I say? Nothing they say or do makes sense. They don’t even know what a socialist is – just another of their talking points.

They’d get their guns from the devil himself if he told them outright they’d have to sell their souls to him to get them. Why would a little socialism bother them at all?

The republicans support socialism or as I call corporate welfare in America. Why should supporting it through purchasing be any different.
Although there has been an assumption in this article that these gun buyers actually think before they buy and that is a dangerous assumption.

Uh where are the Republicans who criticize socialism? They are notanswering this post? I am not being facetious nor am I be condescending. I truly wish to know their reasons they support countries other than the U.S. who are capitalistic yet use socialism for their programs? And if they detest the socialism aspect, why they give their money to them?
