Liberal: favors more government control of various enterprises.
Socialist: favors more government control of various enterprises.
Seems pretty clear to me that they are the same thing!!!

I, too, am being attacked by the spam filter.
I wonder if the phrase "red commie bastard" has anything to do with it, cause that's in what I was trying to post.
Oh, the joys of not understanding the difference between social policy, political idealism, and economic policy!
Well that's just because you misuse the term "liberal". Yes, many politicians with liberal political leanings also favor a more socialist socioeconomic system (universal healthcare, &c.), but that is not a requirement.
Yupp, they are totally the same except for that private property issue, voting, respect for human rights, etc.
Regulation keeps said enterprises from going off with even greater corruption and misdeeds. Deregulation's what nets you stuff like enron (or rather, its what allows people who do similar atrocities to go free because its now "legal to do so"), the Iraq fiasco (ALL of it, financially, ethically, morally....)
Removing regulations is removing the only thing that keeps corporations from being out of control. Their legal obligation is to maximise profits at all costs. Without barriers, you get...
well...
you get the US right now.
try again,
L, supports small and medium buisness against big buisness.
S, supports WORKERS against buisness.
This reminds me of a bit from "Who's On First?"
Lou: "Okay, I throw the ball to who?
Bud: "Naturally."
Lou: "Okay, you try it."
Bud: "You throw the ball to Who."
Lou: "Naturally!"
Bud: "But --"
Lou: "SAME AS YOU!"

Thank you for your little demonstration of how fucking worthless single-issue voting is in this incredibly complex world.
Oh my fucking god, I nearly fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. How fucking ignorant can one person be? Do you have to train for that, or is it natural? How can you kill off brain cells like that without doing drugs? Do you sit in piles of your own shit, blabbering to yourself and jacking off to pictures of your sister and mother? That's about the only thing that can explain this bullshit.
Protestants, Catholics, and [list of nearly all different Christian denominations comes here] all believe Jesus Christ was the son of god and rose from the dead after being crucified. They must all be the same thing!
you see? you are painfully stupid.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
