When Ron Paul returned to the Republican party (he ran for President against George Herbert Walker Bush (No. 41) as a Libertarian Presidential Candidate in 1988, he was opposed for the Texas Congressional seat by a "turncoat Democrat" who was supported by former Pres. Bush Sr.(No. 41) while Ron Paul received an endorsement from legendary Texan Hall of Fame pitcher, Nolan Ryan. Needless to say, Ron Paul was elected by the people (
Real Texans, not some carpetbagging patrician "New World Order" Race to the Bottom, Country Club Rockefeller Republican) Representative Ron Paul.
"A careful examination of the policies pursued by the Obama administration and his allies in Congress shows that their agenda is corporatist. For example, the health care bill that recently passed does not establish a Canadian-style government-run single-payer health care system. Instead, it relies on mandates forcing every American to purchase private health insurance or pay a fine. It also includes subsidies for low-income Americans and government-run health care exchanges. Contrary to the claims of the proponents of the health care bill, large insurance and pharmaceutical companies were enthusiastic supporters of many provisions of this legislation because they knew in the end their bottom lines would be enriched by Obamacare."

I think he’s an Obamist... a hybrid/mixture of a Socialist and a Fascist. he is nationalizing industries, taking control of the free market economy, expanding government and Unions, threatening any Press who do not curry favor, while decrying and scapegoating those who would dare question him.

Moreover, name-calling doesn’t work.
Attack Obama on the issues. He’s never won a battle yet on the field of ideas, he just resorts to thuggery.
Sticks and stones.

“Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers.”
The correct term is fascist.

Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. I've heard this same set up referred to as "Fascist" as well.

Sorry, but he lost me at “much like the previous administration”. Credibility shot.

Can we call him a communist?
To: Comrade Brother Abu Bubba
I’ll call him any damn thing I please, thank you very much.

Socialist is not name calling. It is calling OUT his agenda. And it isn't just his. It is the same political ideology of Clinton and Kennedy and Kerry and Carter and LBJ and FDR and...
The public has anathema to Socialism when it is identified as such.
I am sick of defeating a particular piece of legislation rather than the ideology behind it.

The left hates Obama being called socialist and that in itself is reason enough to use the term. The “let’s define” it so he isn’t is typical of marxists. He is one. The flavor—fascist socialist, international socialist, classical socialist—doesn’t matter.

Well said! That about covers it!

Socialism and fascism are like brother and sister ideologies that throughout history have morphed from one to the other. Obama is a leftist socialist fascist progressive democrat and Ron Paul is a low-life blame-America apologizer for terrorists and a complete moron when it comes to National Security.

I think this point is very important: "Using precise terms can prevent future statists from successfully blaming the inevitable failure of their programs on the remnants of the free market that are still allowed to exist. We must not allow the disastrous results of corporatism to be ascribed incorrectly to free market capitalism or used as a justification for more government expansion. "
Perhaps using the word 'fascist' is better, but the point is a combination of "private ownership/government control" is not socialism by definition.
