socialism: 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. In Marxist theory, this is the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
communism: a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state. When used with an initial capital letter, it's a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.
In reference to my earlier post about how Obama is a Communist, we see that Obama's end goal is -- as has been said repeatedly on this blog for months -- to control as much of this country as possible, whether private property or business, and to entrench that control in a single political party (Democrat) indefinitely. Socialist policies, then, are the intermediate step between capitalism and Communism, where the state begins to take ownership of land, production, etc. 'for the good of the people'.
I thought that bit of perspective might be helpful. The bottom line: Obama is a Communist, and is using socialist policies to propel America away from capitalism and toward Communism, where the Democrat party will control everything possible.
Got it? Good, because you're going to need to understand that if you plan to live for the next few years.
Anyway, the reason I'm bringing all this up is that a reporter apparently had the gall to question if Obama was a socialist over the weekend during an interview on Air Force One, and Obama got snippy about it. Then, after the plane touched down, Obama called the reporter back and wanted a second try. Let's not think how much ridicule Bush would have received for wanting a second try at defending himself from an accusation, and just take a look at Obama's lame second take:
*sigh*
First: you can tell he's not using a teleprompter because he stumbles and bumbles and eventually stutters his way to a coherent thought or two. Not only is he getting an undeserved mulligan just by making this call, but he can't even do it smoothly.
Second, just by responding he more or less admits that the remark struck close to home, and that he knows it won't play well with most Americans. It nearly killed him with the Joe the Plumber incident on the campaign trail, and he knows that his policies are, in fact, socialist, so he feels he needs to spin things into something a little less politically damaging. Someone who has a clear record that isn't socialist doesn't need to reiterate that he's not a socialist, you know?
And, for the record, let's go through the facts one more time. Bush and the GOP had some level of involvement in the first steps, yes, but let's not forget that there's a difference between going 80mph in a 70mph zone and flying down the same road at 150mph. Bush's deficit was half a trillion dollars, and that was after 9/11, Katrina, two wars, and a recession that he inherited from Clinton. On the other hand, Obama has now spent something like $2 trillion in six weeks! He's quadrupled Bush's debt levels, and looks to be just warming up, with cap-and-trade and universal health care just around the corner. Under his watch, the stock market has been reduced by half because Wall Street trusts his policies to help the economy about as much as holding hands and singing Kumbaya will.
You know, this blame Bush mantra is going to get old in a hurry, even for the more intelligent on his own side. Especially as his radical Leftist policies kick in, the argument that Bush ruined everything will become more and more laughable, and the responsibility will rest squarely on him, where it belongs. We just need to help remind people of that fact as we go along.
This debacle is Obama's. He did it, he sounded the crisis bell over and over, he spurred the panic, and these are his policies which have buried the country in so much debt that our grandchildren won't even be able to pay it off. It's his. He owns it. Don't let him or any of his Kool-Aid drenched Obot followers forget it.
There's my two cents.
