In what way do either of these suggestions imply Socialism? You might
want to look up the definition of Socialism before you answer. Then
you can look up the definition of conservatism which I think would be
a more accurate characterization of her position.

I'm sorry, does Ms. Boulden represent GMA? Since she does not, how
could her comments be considered hypocrisy on the part of GMA?
You right wingers are so full of yourselves that you don't think
anyone has a right to a contrary position.
Your advocacy of the right to squander is a major reason why the sign
at the gas station said $3.99 tonight. This attitude has been a
disaster for our environment, our natural resources and now, our
economy. Now you feel very smug about criticizing someone for having
the audacity to suggest that people trade among themselves instead of
chucking the old item in the garbage and jumping in their SUVs to
drive to the mall and buy some new stuff.
