President Obama's Push Towards Socialism

My God! You Obamabots are D E N S E! There's proof sprinkled all through this pathetic thread.

As usual, the liberal argument is to ignore what's been said and restate the stupid fucking question, acting as if no answers have been given. You birdbrains can sit around and pat each other on the back all day long...won't change a goddamned thing.

Obama is a goddamned Marxist!

Liberalism is a mental disorder!

There's no point to arguing with Dante, he's dumber that TM and more predictable than Deany

I believe that last goofballs name was zeke. I do have some left leaning intelligent friends that can rationally discuss politics without getting into lies of convenience like the posters here do. Rational liberals are few and far between.

Wonderful job of attacking the messenger and not the message. Any left leaning intellignet friends you may have likely laugh at you behind your back. Ad hominem resonses are not rational, Obama is not a Marxist and "Liberalism" is only a disease in the addled mind of Michael Savage, aka, Weiner, and those whose emotions are stirred by his rantings.
 
If any conservatives, right wingers, and anyone else here who is dissatisfied with Obama believes any of this, they need to offer proof in order to convince a majority of would be voters to buy into this narrative.
Right wingers are not much into fact. Or proof. They are much more into slogans that sound good and are mostly made up.

Like "you can't tax the ultra rich more, they are the job creators". No proof. But it sounds good. To them.
Here's a trite little question for you.

Have you ever been hired for a full time job by a poor person?
Every person I ever worked for swore up and down on a stack of bibles that they were poor!
 
Ahhh yes...but then there's that pesky old Constitution Obama has to deal with. It is difficult for him to accomplish his campaign promises because of the Constitution. Imagine that!

The above is why the GOP is going to get its ass beat this fall if this nonsense continues.

Try facts and evidence, asaratis.
There is nothing in "the above" that indicates I'm not using facts and evidence. Obama's biggest stumbling block in accomplishing his Marxist makeover is THE CONSTITUTION. He ignores it when he can, but he can't make it go away.

Then I think you clearly do not understand the Constitution and you are clearly wrong in your terms of Marxism and Socialisim. Your facts and evidence indicate nothing of the sort that Obama is trying to create a marxist state.

That type of over the top hyperbole will alienate the great center of America. asartis, they will vote against that type of demonization and demagoguery.
 
President Obama's Push Towards Socialism: is it a myth, or is there proof of it's existence?

GOP Presidential Hopeful, Richard John "Rick" Santorum has said during campaign appearances that President Obama is pushing the United States 'to the brink of socialism, to the brink of losing our freedom' and Mr. Santorum claims he can 'reclaim our country' back from this brink.

I have a few serious reservations about this narrative, but what I wonder is how anyone believes this to be true, that we are on the brink of socialism and that Santorum can bring us back.

I see no proof of this brink or no proof that Santorum could bring the United States back from anything, real or imagined.

If any conservatives, right wingers, and anyone else here who is dissatisfied with Obama believes any of this, they need to offer proof in order to convince a majority of would be voters to buy into this narrative.

"Where's the beef?" Try proving something right here and now.

dD
:cool:

but...but... but... it makes such a good narrative.

even if there's not a word of truth to it.
 
Which is irrefutable proof that Obama is planning to turn the US into a socialist paradise.

These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation: that is, that we look out for one another; that is, I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper. And in the wealthiest nation in the world right now we are neglecting to live up to that call.”

- President Barack Hussein Obama, August 2009

.

Just to be clear - you're saying that's a bad sentiment?

That is a bad sentiment if the government forces you to abide by the same.

Marx was infinitely more Christian than any CON$ervative.

Acts 4:32 Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common.

4:34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.

4:35 They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

No.
That can't be the answer.
You might argue about the process but the question is whether taking care of your fellow citizens of America is a bad thing.
You can't put a rider on it...it's either a bad thing or it isn't.
 
Are you saying that obama never wanted a socialist UHC?

We know what Obama campaigned on in 2008 because (if we can't quite remember) his '08 campaign issues page can still be viewed via the Wayback Machine.

Looks like he was proposing:

  • A health insurance exchange concept based on guaranteed issue and community rating rules, minimum coverage requirements for plans, and income-based subsidies for low-to-middle income people
  • Medicaid and CHIP expansions, as well as extension of dependent coverage to allow 20-somethings to remain on their parents' plans
  • Movement toward more disease management, care coordination, health information technology, and transparency on quality and costs
  • Patient safety initiatives, value-based purchasing, medical loss ratio requirements for insurance markets, and support for comparative effectiveness research

In other words, something very, very similar to what became law two years later.

You're too easy at times. I was talking about Obama's socialist vision of UHC. Hmmm

It just goes to show how sneaky he is.
By stating his plans openly he made sure that nobody took any notice of them.
So, really, in a way, he has imposed his plans by stealth.

The Google sleuths are only interested in coming up with theories based on something they've supposedly discovered that has never been made public.

And again we retreat into the deepest recesses of the Obama psyche instead of observing reality with our lying eyes. The principles and policy positions he campaigned on for two years and is implementing as President of the United States--not particularly relevant. It's what you imagine he really thinks that matters!
 
Comprehension seems not to be your strong suit. Please re read what I stated, okay. One word at a time and slowly please so you can get the most out of my simple comment.

Meister: "Are you saying that obama never wanted a socialist UHC?"
I enlarged it for you for your help, Greenbeard. Like I said, you're too easy, Greenbeard, and just a little bit better of a spinner than Obama is. :lol:

Why don't you two get a room and collaberate together. Please go back to the youtube's I provided for your viewing pleasure. Obama's words from Obama's mouth. The only thing stealth is your comprehension.

That would take honesty on their behalf. Greenbeard would much prefer to hone his skills at spinning.

:cool:

Remember when Republicans talk about socialism what they are attacking is the middle class. They don't like union or labor laws or regulations that protect American wages.

The GOP didn't like the GM bailout because they wanted to bankrupt the unions. And notice in Wisconsin and Ohio and New Jewsey and Michigan GOP governors are attacking government unions.

Not the people who make the most either. They are instead attacking the average government worker. Attacking the teachers and police and firefighters. And the GOP think they are going to win in 2012 after pissing all of us off? Not a chance in hell. I don't care how much the oil companies raise gas prices. That is only more of an argument to show up and vote Democratic in November to get the House back under Demcratic control and make sure we keep the Senate. And we don't want another Citizens United Supreme Court nominee, so 2012 is a must win for the American middle class.

The GOP clearly are only represting the top 1%.
 
Meister: "Are you saying that obama never wanted a socialist UHC?"

As long as he's been in public office, the answer is obviously no. Not when he was chairman of the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee, not when he was on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in the U.S. Senate, and not as President of the United States. He's never demonstrated any interest in "socialist" health policy, despite having ample opportunity to pursue it if he so desired.

He's shown himself time and again to be interested in relying primarily on markets and incentives to expand coverage and address deficiencies in our system, like the slightly center-left politician he is. What he believed in the '80s before he enter politics I don't know, nor do I particularly care.

Not just a lie, but the polar opposite of the truth
