Your 'point' was that you know what's right, and you're right.

That is not an argument that can be rebutted - it's faith.
And I know better than to bother trying to argue with faith.<,

I need to remember that one. I knew he had stepped in a tar pit when he took you on-lol.

He needs to target easier game-lol.

Here, you lie. If you don't think "socialism" is a correct label for the policies of McCain and Obama, you COULD attempt to explain why not. Instead, you lie with drivel about my point being that I know what's right (when actually ideas concerning Individual Freedom have been discussed), and that I AM right (oddly, this is what you said there, i.e. that I am right. Obviously, you don't really believe that).

I certainly don't argue from faith any more than you, or we all, do (and very likely a lot less, I'd say). I've provided information showing, for example, some historically bad results of governmental interference, and some historically good results arising when there has been NO governmental interference. No one counters that history.

You on the other hand, state that I must not know what socialism is after I labeled two candidates who promote socialist policies as socialists, and fail to explain why.

Your silence is deafening, I'm afraid.
