The Next Step Toward Socialism
I'm surprised no one is talking about this. President Obama wants to put caps on salaries of executives in financial institutions that did not receive bailout funds. My question is where does this craziness stop. What will the administration want to do next? What business sector will they attempt to control next?

Hey guys, maybe we should change our name to the United Socialist States of America and be the USSA, huh? Since we are so Socialist(tm) now because Obama is such an evil Socialist(tm). It's fun saying Socialist(tm) since that is the new Fox News buzzword and the buzzword for the parrots to repeat in their rants.
I will now write Obama is a Socialist(tm) 100 times:
Obama is a Socialist(tm)
Obama is a ...... ah I lost interest already in this nonsense. I'm going to go to bed now so I can awaken bright and early in our Socialist(tm) country.
Good night fellow Socialists(tm).

so⋅cial⋅ism
/ˈsoʊʃəˌlɪzəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
If bailouts and buying banks isn't socialist I don't no what is... Yet these companies are filling for bankruptcy? This is a giant pooch screw!
Now Fox has me brainwashed on this whole GE scandal! 
IDK about you, but I'm not a "fellow socialist". Besides, my Social Security is virtually non existent and so are any future retiring plans with this this stock market. The people in this county will be suxxing on the government's tit for a looong time!

Yes, I agree with you, depending on your age you won't get any social security. I know I will never get it. They are saying SS will be dried up in a few years. I have 30+ years until retirement. However, to say that this country is suddenly doomed is silly because the writing has been on the wall for decades, mostly the last 2. Also you can count on the burden of the many millions of Americans who will be unable to care for themselves financially and are too old to work anymore to drag us down further. People who lost their 401k's, etc now can't afford to retire. Pensions are going the way of American jobs (bye-bye), so I guess I don't have anything good to say about the future of this country because I don't see anything good happening. I got to go get a workout in tonight, so best wishes.

Obama campaigned for socialism, the majority voted for socialism. How can we be surprised when we got exactly what he campaigned for?
I see another DNC showdown like Kennedy vs Carter. This time it will be Clinton vs NObama.

Hu?
In the first place about 1/2 the country panics when ever Bush did anything.
Of course most of that panic was irrational, and often was not related to what Bush did but rather how what the lying media said he did.
And second, which piece of Socialism are you referring to? |

Is there any comparison to then and now? Though I was against the Bush bailout also. Fact is, I actually thought McCain was going to ask him to go another route, but got fooled then also.
The conservators of the Constitution is all Republican members of the house and a few conservative Democrats of same body. They all agreed to send the whole lot to chapter 11. At least, NObama wouldn't be CEO of Chrysler and GM with his board made up of mostly UAW members.

If I had "guessed" at which point you were referig to, you could just pick a diffeent one.
But in effect, aren't all your examples of people (even republicans) negatively reacting to some of Bushes actions.
Counter your earlier assertion??

Brian Ross: Republicans Point Fingers While Enacting Socialist Policies
In this article Brian Ross is putting down the Bush administration and calling them socialist for bailing out Wall Street and the banking industry. But in fact, that is exactly what President Obama has done. Now let me be clear, I do believe that the banks should be bailed out to get us out of this financial crisis. My concern is that the Obama administration is taking major control of institutions and wanting to implement pay caps on companies that did not receive government bailout funds. When speaking of Socialism this is what concerns me about the direction our country is heading.

No, I think you are talking about YOUR IMPRESSION of the people here.
I would guess there is plenty on both sides, but we all have selective memory. |
