Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 to December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
The Socialist Party candidate for President of the U.S., Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: "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.! " He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform." ************************************************** ****** "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." ~~Margaret Thatcher~~ ************************************************** ****** The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not. - ~~Thomas Jefferson~~
