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?

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. :-)

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

They have to ruin EVERYTHING fun.

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

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:

5. My experience.

 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)

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

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.  :-)
