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.
We were ruining the country even before the great society. FDR had some programs that were called socialist. One of them was social security which most people like. The Great Society President LBJ's gift to us was Medicare, which most people like, liberal or conservative. You see a senior citizen tea partier in a motorized wheel chair ranting about the country going socialist, he/she most likely got that wheelchair courtesy of the taxpayers. So what's wrong with a little socialism for we the ordinary people?
don't forget LBJ's "War on Poverty".......15 TRILLION dollars later and the poverty rate is over 15%......obviously the bleeding heart liberal socialist program did not work....at least for the obvious intent.....
