Halloween - the day all Americans embrace socialism.
Everyone buys candy to share with people who ask. Do tea baggers just buy candy and give it to their own kids while the stay at home with the lights off?

When the government tells me I have to provide candy or go to jail, then you can call Halloween socialism, until then you are wrong as usual. Everyone that hands out candy does so by choice, if they don't want too, or really can't afford to do so, they are under no obligation whatsoever.

They probably stick their heads out the door and scream, "Go get a job, you bums!" As the kids come up with their cute little costumes and big, hopeful smiles.
Okay, not really. My mostly Republican family always puts out goodies. But should we really tell our kids 364 days of the year to never take candy from strangers, and then on Halloween, send them out begging for it?

I was just reading this one over there, what a collection of idiots they are.

Yes they are, and it makes sense now, why they want socialism so badly, they don't really know how it works. They just figure that anything bad said about socialism is just made up propaganda by right wingers.
-
No. It's just the day where we take candy from strangers. It's not really socialism if the neighbors are offering the candy. You need to turn your lights on if you want to participate. Lights off, we skip that home. If Halloween was truly a socialist holiday, we would be busting down doors and nabbing candy (and other goodies...) from homes.
-
Each year after the local kids get candy they come to the community hall where I (and a few others) take the candy, separate it and give all the kids an equal amount...even those who didn't go out and try to get candy.
Last year some of the little punks starts complaining about how the kids who didn't work still got candy. We just told them it was for the common good and they said, "If they didn't work for candy, why should we work for candy if we'll still get it anyway?"
Hoping all works well this year, but it appears fewer kids are planning on going out to get candy this time around. (We'll give them some anyway)
-
They forget it is supposed to be an extortion racket, trick or treat.

Everyday - The day DUmmies embrace idiocy.

DUmbass, I have never embraced socialism in my whole life. And your OP was one of the stupidest things I've read.

LOL! Sooner or later you run out of other peoples candy,
-
Except that on Halloween, the trick-or-treaters don't arrive in suits with a Sig-Sauer under the jacket, demanding that you dump half of your candy into their bag.
Other than that, yeah, Halloween is just like Socialism.
:whatever:
-
Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way....Unamerican socialist DUmmies send their kids out to extort candy from true Americans with threats of tricks if they don't comply.
If Christmas is now Winter Solstice, then halloween must be Socialist Extortion Day.
-
The kids who are willing to work the hardest get the greatest reward. Yeah - thats a Socialistic concept.
When I was a kid, we would go out early, hit everyone up - change costumes and hit everyone up again. Then for the next three weeks, we would all resemble these guys - :hyper: :panic:

3. I don't think so. Not everyone participates, just as not everyone celebrates
Christmas.
And, it doesn't fit the definitions of socialism, at least, not the way I read the definitions at this link http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

I don't know about treats, but tricks are the biggest part of a DUmp democrat's love life.
-
As our OP points out, the fact that giving out of treats is done of one's own free will rather than due to the government forcing them to is proof that the DUmmy's claim is a crock.
-
The socialism is at it's best in the Liberal democrat run machine city, Detroit, on Halloween.

Echeaux Bouncy ????? :rotf:
Where we used to live there was a city Halloween Party. Kids were encouraged to go downtown to the square instead of going house to house. We got very few trick or treaters and I missed having kids come for candy.
Here it's fantastic. People from all over the hood come on hay rides and golf carts all decked out with lights. It's wonderful sitting outside giving out candy. It's too dry this year but there's usually a bon fire burning.
I look forward to Halloween every year since moving here. And guess what DUmmies, we give good candy, even to the ones I know are moonbat kids. :rotf:

"Hoping all works well this year, but it appears fewer kids are planning on going out to get candy this time around."
That's what happens when the kids who normally want to go trick or treating learn you're planning to take all the candy that they were out all night collecting, and distribute it to a bunch of lazy brats who wouldn't get off their butts to do the same.
If even children can grasp that the principles of Socialism are unfair and wrong, why can't the DUmmies?
-
DUmbass, I have never embraced socialism in my whole life. And your OP was one of the stupidest things I've read.
It sure was, and it pissed me off, too; this is one of my favorite holidays and we do it up. Don't you dare paint it Red, DUmbshit. We don't do that divvying up crap; if you want the candy, you gotta work the doorbells.
-
They have to ruin EVERYTHING fun.

H5 to my neighbor through the woods and over the plateau!
-

Hell we went trick or treating rain or clear, even in snow....
Working those doorbells and getting your own candy builds character...
-
Yeah, I loved going out, and ringing doorbells in massive anticipation. It was really fun, and as a kiid, I never even noticed the walk. Barely got tired. Until my candy sack was fit to burst, that is.
Holy crap though, miskie. Ever ever I heard of a work ethic... :rotf:
I admire your zeal.

I'm going to turn off all the lights...even the light in the doorbell. If anyone comes to the door, I'm going to ask them for money to help pay my electric bill. Blame it all on their parents for voting for Obama. :-)

Pretty much. Have you heard of the "I'm a culture, not a costume" campaign? Freakin over-sensitive killjoys.

I dunno... When mine were little they would compare notes with classmates and friends to find out which areas, or even which houses, gave the best and most. Then they would bug me to hit those places. So it was more like shopping/capitalism than socialism. I would make the three of them debate the benefit of each and settle on one special spot. The oldest would try to bribe the other two into voting her way. Other than that, we went to friends houses and then went home and handed candy out.
I miss the little town where we spent some of their childhoods. The little kids went out right after school for a few hours. Then whoever wanted, kept their porchlights on the the teens would come around. They were the silliest of the two groups and they really went all out on costumes.
-
We hit almost every house in the neighborhood of 5 blocks long by two blocks wide.

I never posted that at DU. I came up with that on my own here so someone copied me... :o
I guess I need to put a copyright note or something at the end of my posts from now on. :rotf:
No I'm going to have to wonder which one of you it was ...

The fundamental problem here is that this DUmmy is indicative of the rest of the flock. They don't understand what socialism is or the basics of its operation, yet still queue up to serve as useful idiots whenever it is discussed.
Assuming that the DUmmie in question isn't a mole. :-)
