August 13, 201214 yr Obama: "A new vision of an Americain which prosperity is shared"... Seems like Socialism to most folks who understand it.. That's your proof? No policy?
August 13, 201214 yr I am assuming that he was referring to the auto bailout. I did not think the Bush administration 'bailed out' any auto companies. But even so it would not be the take over like the government did with GM and Chrysler. It was big deal with the government loaned Chrysler money years ago. I am sure we remember Lee Iaccoca declaring Chrysler was back after repaying the loans ahead of time. The government actually took ownership of GM and Chrysler during this administration. That step, similar to Hugo Chavez nationalizing oil companies in Venezuela, was unprecedented in the US. At least at that scale.
August 13, 201214 yr That's your proof? No policy? Look at Obama's early elections. Challenging signatures to force fellow Democrats to drop out of primaries. Very Alinsky. Ridicule as a weapon. Numerous instances. Tea Party takes the brunt of this tactic. Choose a target, isolate it, personalize it. Remember when 2 busloads of SUIE members showed up at a bankers home in Maryland and stood on the houses doorstep with bullhorns - terrorizing a 15 year old who was alone inside. When did politic practices carry mobs onto peoples personal door-step? Especially a non-government person. Alinsky tactic.
August 13, 201214 yr 99% of us on here have not read the book. You have. Educate us as to what policy shows without question that our President is a socialist.Actually Obamas thinkings lean more towards Marxism than true Socialism... But if you have no grasp of what socialism actually is you would never understand Marxism either.
August 13, 201214 yr Actually Obamas thinkings lean more towards Marxism than true Socialism... But if you have no grasp of what socialism actually is you would never understand Marxism either. Gosh, I wish I was smart enough that I could win arguments by saying, You just wouldn't understand. Or maybe I just wish I could convince myself that was a winning argument. Still no examples.
August 13, 201214 yr Actually Obamas thinkings lean more towards Marxism than true Socialism... But if you have no grasp of what socialism actually is you would never understand Marxism either. I'm going to challenge you , again, to provide examples. Not sure why it's this hard.
August 13, 201214 yr . More solicialism. If you haven't read Alinskys books then you can't possibly make a comparision because you don't know what you are tallking about....... Obama: "A new vision of an Americain which prosperity is shared"... Seems like Socialism to most folks who understand it.. Actually Obamas thinkings lean more towards Marxism than true Socialism... But if you have no grasp of what socialism actually is you would never understand Marxism either. And I'm the one that doesn't understand.
August 13, 201214 yr ObamaCare. Empowering the EPA to direct his cap and trade policies he could not get passed by Congress.... Homeland Security, same thing. More examples are out there but its wasted time.. Can you prove Obama is not a Socialist? Of course you can't..
August 13, 201214 yr ObamaCare. Empowering the EPA to direct his cap and trade policies he could not get passed by Congress.... Homeland Security, same thing. More examples are out there but its wasted time.. Can you prove Obama is not a Socialist? Of course you can't.. How is AHCA socialism? Are the major healthcare companies being shut down? Homeland security? How? Are companies that produce goods now completely owned by the govt or the people? Is Wall St now a govt entity? No execs getting bonuses? No top reps earning millions? Are you sure you're using the right definition?

August 13, 201214 yr So you have no proof that Obama does not have socialist leanings... I didn't make the claim he was socialist (and then Marxist). YOU did. I'm asking you for proof and so far you've failed. However, the questions I posed that you missed were my rebuttal.
August 13, 201214 yr So you have no proof that Obama does not have socialist leanings... Well no, I can't prove his "leanings". I can only judge him on the policies he has enacted. Those look pretty centrist. I also can't prove he isn't a Martian. For that matter, how do we know that you aren't a Martian? Can you prove it? Are you now or have you ever been a Martian?
August 13, 201214 yr I'm far from intelligent on what is truly socialism. Apparently, I'm in the minority because many on here seem to KNOW what it is yet I'm seeing policy that reflects that. Sociailsm is the most prevalent and preferred form of government we see. I think you know what it is.
