How is Obama NOT a Socialist?

To me, a Socialist is a person who strives to implement Socialism.

That is what I see Obama doing. He may not be an extreme Socialist, but his agenda sure seems to be inspired by it. Specially given the amount of Socialism already existing within our country; adding more of it simply adds more fuel to the fire.

you can't implement socialism in America in one term, or two. You have to do it incrementally.

The libs have been doing it since the great society. One tax at a time.

So if Obama is ultimately getting us closer to that unimaginable fate, isn't it fair to refer to him as a Socialist?

Or is it only called for if he delivers the K.O. punch?

we were headed towards the Almighty State before The Annointed One was even born.

"Since the general civilization of mankind, there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations."
--James Madison to the Virginia Convention, 1788

That's all true. "IF" he should win the majority of electoral votes and gets a second term, and tries to take over our private property rights, ( ostensibly by eminent domain ) you will have your answer and he will have our power....

Total poppycock....

Obama is no more a socialist that you are intelligent....

Is that what you tell yourself to sleep at night or are you really that naive?
 
"This does not mean that we may now with advantage adopt certain of the principles professd by some given set of men that who happen to call themselves socialists; to be afraid to do so would be to make a mark of weakness on our part."
Theodore Roosevelt, Republican president of the United States. 1901-1909.

When he said that, there was barely any Socialism within America.

So do we have more now, and if so why would that be?
We certainly have been warned and warned again that it leads to communism, yet people seem to love some of the results. For example, the Tea Party sign:
KEEP SOCIALISM AWAY FROM MY MEDICARE.

No, I know what a socialist is. Go live in North Korea, China, Cuba - or even Venezuala. Don't even live there, bone up on the places. Then tell me Obama is a socialist.

This kind of partisan hackery, alarmist pap OP is the reason there should be IQ test in the US before people should vote. Because some people actually buy this shit and it detracts from real issues...

Here's how I see it.

Socialism and Communism are like HIV and AIDS.

Both suck and one ultimately leads to the other.

Good. So you know what some of the Socialist/Communist countries are.

Now tell me Obama isn't going in that direction. If you can't see the connection, then you merely Google'd "socialist countries" and pasted the list, not having the simplest idea what their regime actually consists of.
 
Amazing how America has changed and changed just during my lifetime, in the Fifties few would dare post on these boards regarding socialism. Now we post as if we are not afraid and amost adult-like. But I suppose there is still some fear or am I projecting. Anyone taking names?

ain't that the truth.

America has changed... no more evil Joseph McCarythys running around pointing out socialists...

and the Soviet Union has changed too. no more commies running around.

Now they're capitalists... and those greedy capitalists sold KGB files back to the US that proved McCarthy was correct.

Ain't it funny how things get all twisted up?

How fast was the internet back in the 50's?

In the fifties only psychopathic Birchers saw social programs as socialism. Sad how they somehow became the philosophical compass of a formerly reasonable political party.

Obama is not going in that direction...There told you. Even in simple terms. You might even understand....

What's even sadder is that since the 50's significantly more and more people are choosing welfare as a profession.

Really?

You must really like your Obamaphone.
 
I'm not even going to mention all the "conspiracies" linking him to Marxists in his early life or his solidarity with other Socialist dictators around the world.

But how is someone who preaches redistribution and wants to further Socialize our country not a Socialist?

Obviously, the hard-core Marxists don't welcome his as one of their own. But it's not as if he can do whatever he wants like it's all hunky-dory.

"Just because he sleeps wit other men doesn't mean he's gay." :cuckoo:

Just about EVERY American is a socialist ya dumb ass. If ya pay taxes and drive on freeways...you are a socialist. If you were in the military and get any vet benis...you are a socialist. Unless you disregard all laws passed by representatives elected by the public...you are a socialist.

If I was American I might even vote for him.
I think if Romney wins it won't be a bad thing.

However, your OP is drivel.....
