So what's wrong with Socialism anyway?

"Socialist" is a label that political conservatives and libertarians often try to pin on Democrats and liberals who are not in the Democratic Party (in the United States). Usually, the liberals simply laugh it off and the people who aren't knowledgeable about politics are content to accept their denials.

That's what has made what happened with Senator Barack Obama unique. The label "Socialist" is sticking like glue to Senator Obama. Now, a lot of conservatives and libertarians are shocked to discover that a lot of people living in this country really don't know what socialism is and they don't understand what is wrong with it anyway.

I am going to start posting material to address that in the next day or two.

Joseph Farah has a good piece in which he starts to answer 'What's wrong with socialism?'

Investor's Business Daily has a whole series on Senator Obama and socialism.
