Nope. Wouldn’t they love that? Won’t happen here.

[omega4179]

Why are they still talking about birthers
just release the birth certificate and end the mayhem!

[Blogger]

Would he prefer fascist? Communist? We can think of a lot of labels - all leads to the same poor leadership.

[sourcery]

“Socialist” richly deserves the same status as the word “Nazi.” Nazi is just a German diminutive for the “national socialist,” after all...

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

“MSNBC” is the new “brain-dead”.

[Grunthor]

This piece is proving that no, you may not criticize the socialist POTUS in any way lest you be called a racist.

[Yosemitest]

Obama: "I Don't Want the Folks who Created the Mess to do a lot of Talking" "

Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

Lets review:

Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
"In early 1968 President Lyndon Johnson [DEMOCRAT] made a change in the budget presentation by including Social Security and all other trust funds in a"unified budget." "

Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?

The History of Medicare

In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.

Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.

On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."

Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.

The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.

So Democrats,

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR INSURING THE FAILURE
OF THE MEDICARE/MEDICAID PROGRAM!!!

So DEMOCRATS ... SHUT UP!!!

You have no integrity!!!

What's the word that describes Barack Hussein Obama II?
Let's see, he's obsessively self-indulgent,
he's rapidly spoiling or destroying everything he touches,
his approach to GM and the Banking Institution can only be defined as indolent and irresponsible,
his bailout plan has placed us deeply in debt, while he remains ostentatious.
What's the word that combines all these characteristics into one adjective?

It's one thing to call Racist Bigot Obama that word,
but it's quite another ... to PROVE HIM that.

That IS the fascist Barack Hussein Obama II.

[listenhillary]

Marxist is more accurate anyway.

[truthkeeper]

I hate the expression "N word." It's so completely infantile.

Couldn't they just say "used a racial slur" instead?

[4rcane]

Its the S word. Only someone who can’t tell the difference between a S and a N will think Socialism is a N word. Someone who says that should be mocked for eternity

[marron]

This is the meme. If you oppose O you’re a racist, and a fascist.

If you oppose O because he’s a socialist, thats just a code word because you’re a racist and a fascist.

You want to know what citizenship he claimed in college? You’re a racist and a fascist.

You oppose his takeover of the auto industry? You’re a racist and a fascist.

You oppose his disappearance of two trillion dollars? You’re a racist and a fascist.

You have doubts about his takeover of the entire health industry in America? You’re a racist and a fascist. You feel a little queasy about letting a bureaucrat decide how you die? You’re a racist and a fascist. You manage somehow to get yourself roughed up by union goons at a public meeting? You’re a racist and a fascist, and you’re resorting to mob violence to boot.

[umgud]

He should look up the definition of socialism and socialists.

[pissant]

Hell no. The N-word is just a vulgar, if silly, term used to describe blacks (mostly by blacks themselves these days).

Socialist is a vulgar word used to describe the most worthless pieces of crap on the face of the planet. It is much worse an insult than any racial slur, whether its n*gger, cracker, WOP, etc.

[Little Ray]

And, shortly, there will be laws passed to deal with “racists” and “fascists...”

[bayliving]

you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others

Nope!Quite frankly I could care less about his skin color.

It is his politics that make him a socialist. Nothing more, nothing less.

Try as they might to MAKE socialism the new "N" word.

To quote Forest Gump's mother, "Socialism is as socialism does.

Got it?

[BuckeyeTexan]

Comparing “socialist” with “n***er” will backfire on the liberals. The two are nowhere near equivalent. The former is a badge of honor worn with pride. The latter is a degrading, hurtful, sickening reminder of hate.

I hope a prominent, respected AA buries this tactic.

[smokingfrog]

Is MSNBC the new Ministry of Public Enlightenment?

[Safetgiver]

I hate the expression “N word.” It’s so completely infantile... The “N” word, in the last 8 months, means Nazi (as in National Socialist).

[ArchAngel1983]

Damned clever RATs broke our code and didn’t even have our super secret OMEGA machine.
