Who are the Socialists in America?

We wrote this one for The American Thinker:

With the attempted socialist takeover of health care in progress, it's time to look at some prominent socialists in America. The United States Senate has its' first self-described socialist member in Bernie Sanders. The Vermont Senator is a good reference point for understanding how far socialism has become legitimized in American political life. Recently, Gallup came out with a poll in which 36% of Americans viewed socialism positively.

The mainstream liberal media has been quite shy at labeling modern day "liberals" and "progressives" as socialists because there's still a stigma with the label. To honest, patriotic Americans socialism means: long lines, shortages, corruption, and death by government. While Senator Sanders has embraced the socialist label, it time to look others who have taken the leap.
