Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him. And so it is with Obozo...

No Obozo, you are a communist. I would never tag you with a little old socialist label.

Obama, a Democrat

Should read: "Obama, a socialist..."

Please correct the title to reflect, “Cocktoasten endorses and accepts description of Obama policies as socialist, calls for immediate resignation in lieu of prosecution.”

“by making our posts of honor places of profit”...which is what every single one of our representatives have done. Just ask Chris Dodd, Kent Conrad and all those who leave office multi-millionaires or obtaining sweetheart land deals. They get to keep their campaign war chests and then have gold plated retirement benefits that not many of their “subjects” can ever dream of having. Each and every single Senator or Representative today thinks of himself as a monarch in his/her own mind. Benjamin Franklin would be ashamed.

Socialism 101: Remove control of something from the private sector, and put the government in control of it.

Case Study: The actions of Hugo Chavez seizing the oil exporting, electric and water utilities, and agriculture industries from private sector, and putting the government in control of it.

Socialism 101: Price fixing leads to shortages.

Case Study: Under Venezuelas nationalization policies, oil production has steadly decreased, electricity and water rationing has been ordered, and food production has decreased.

Sorry Zero. You’re lies about not being a socialist = epic fail. If your not a socialist, why are you pushing for nationalization of our healthcare?

A few additions, darker than yours....

Trotskyites:

“Marxist ideology based on the theory of permanent revolution first expounded by Leon Trotsky. Trotsky believed that because all national economic development was affected by the laws of the world market, a revolution depended on revolutions in other countries for permanent success, a position that put him at odds with Joseph Stalin’s ‘socialism in one country.’”

http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Trotskyites

On Islam and anarchism

“Ali Shariati

An important and influential figure in the 20th century was Ali Shariati, one of the ideologues of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and of whom Jean Paul Sartre said: “I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be Shariati’s”. After the Shah’s regime took on a particularly vicious authoritarian note, Shariati was imprisoned for his lectures, which were extremely popular with the students, and was forced to flee Iran. He was assassinated shortly afterwards.

Although Shariati was not an anarchist, his vision of Islam was one of a revolutionary religion siding with the poor. He believed that the only true reflection of the Islamic concept of Tawhid (unity and oneness of God) is a classless society.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_anarchism

“Anarcho-syndicalism

“...is one of the major forms of social anarchism. The idea behind anarcho-syndicalism is to combine the economic methods of syndicalism with the revolutionary politics of anarchism. This leads anarcho-syndicalists to be involved in everything from small propaganda groups to mass revolutionary unions, always organised according to anarchist principles, on a decentralised, federated basis.”

Apparently, it’s a heckuva lot easier to keep denying it than actually stop behaving like one.
