No, I'm not. Google some of the terms and you will find a bunch of references from people and grass-roots organizations who honestly believe that these programs are socialist.
From what I have found, many of the people are ultra-conservative and frequently fundamentalist in their religion. For example, there is a movement to home school to protect children from "government-mandated curriculum".
Some examples of home-grown efforts:
- 1 Million Strong against our SOCIALIST Fire Departments

- Teabagger Socialist-Free Purity Pledge (excerpt):
"I pledge to eliminate all government intervention in my life. I will abstain from the use of and participation in any socialist goods and services including but not limited to the following:- Social Security
- Medicare/Medicaid
- State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP)
- Police, Fire, and Emergency Services
- US Postal Service
- Roads and Highways
- Air Travel (regulated by the socialist FAA)
- The US Railway System
- Public Subways and Metro Systems
- Public Bus and Lightrail Systems
- Rest Areas on Highways
- Sidewalks
- All Government-Funded Local/State Projects (e.g., see Iowa 2009 federal senate appropriations)
- Public Water and Sewer Services (goodbye socialist toilet, shower, dishwasher, kitchen sink, outdoor hose!)
- Public and State Universities and Colleges
- Public Primary and Secondary Schools (click link for more!!)
