Mike Johnson: ‘Socialism Is a Dead End’

RUSH EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “There is less and less middle ground over the decades, the parties have grown very far apart. There’s a wide cam now. If you rewound back 40 or 50 years there wasn’t really a lot of difference between the Republican and democratic parties if you compared the platforms, there were nuances about policy but they were trying to do what’s right for the country. The allegation here about some of our colleagues is that’s not really their agenda. Some of them really would like to trade what we have for a European-style socialist form of government. We know that that is a terribly idea so we sand for our foundational ideas. What you have to do is get down to those principles and use the facts though them the reality. Socialism is a dead end, communism and marxism are terrible things. It’s been responsible for the deaths of tense of millions of innocent people over the 20th century alone. Right? That is not the path we want to go down. America is different and we are exceptional because we stand on certain foundational principles. I said in my speech the other night — was that last night? All my hours are running together now.”
