I feel like republicans hype up there wins so much because they are winning so rarely lately. I had to search pretty hard b4 finding this story

Many people say Obama is socialist because raising taxes is a form of government intervention.

How is making laws against two people getting married based on their sexual orientation not government intervention.

Although some of Obama's policies can be construed as socialist in the classical sense, when we examine the whole body of policies, it is more sensible to call the Obama regime fascist.


ok i will bite, but you have to explain yourself if your going make that strong of a statement about our nations president

see i agree with this and Obama does have some socialist tendencies. What we need to understand is that is not a bad thing in this case. Fear mongering has put such a negative view on socialism the west. Just like fear mongering has put negative fews on people in the east.

I guess what im trying to say is we can argue definitions all day its all about finding a dictionary with what you want to hear in it but, Instead lets just recognize that there is good and bad to all political ideals and theories.

Instead of being scared of words lets just understand them first.

I go to college and my roommate and I are in the same political science class.
There was an argument that him and I had different views on.

I said Obama is not a socialist but does have some socialist ideas. (the robbin hood effect of taxing) taxes for the rich. Gov. money given to the poor. I see this as government intervention.

He argued that it is politically impossible due to the political spectrum. He is a liberal according to this spectrum. Nobody can be just a little socialist

Note: We are not trying to figure out if he is wrong or right just if he can by technical definition can he be considered a socialist.

They both have there goods and bads. the videos does seem very political party driven thats why I dont get sources of info off of youtube. Pres. Bush was simple not prepared well for the job at the end of the day. Not so much as Obama was a better president but a better politician. That is what this country needs right now. Left or Right.

And this is understandable under some circumstances people are to quick to change things over the most small flaws only to create a bigger problem.

We need to find the middle

Not being able to move forward in life keeps us stuck in the past

This is just fear tactics 101.

Fear tactic- Def

A fear tactic takes a legitimate concern and instead of involving a strong solution. The fear tactic will included slippery slope logic based off of nothing more than what if research and information.

lol wow thats all i have to say to that

the lesson to be learned is that we are to dependent on foreign and nuclear energy. Therefore lets keep that research steady on alternative energies.

If The president does not whole true to his promise of no ground troops it will be hard to trust him. At the same time republicans cant jump on Obama's back calling him a war hawk. When this idea of spreading democracy across the Arab world was praised by them very highly in the not to distant past.

Willing2 Our President before he was president gave a lot of worried people hope that things where going to change. When he 1st became president he went over seas made friends with many nation leaders who did not approve of us very much during the Bush administration.

Our nation wants hope and change that is why they support Obama. The Gallup poll, the most prestigious and accurate approval rating system in our nation shows that only one time in the summer of 2010 was there a time when Obama's approval rating was over shadowed by his disapproval. (think in lieing look it up)

He has cut military spending so that we can put money in our enviormental agency which was cut out of the budget in 2007
(you don't believe me look up the fiscal budget from now since 07)

Let me put it in a chart for you.

Cut our nations pay onto war benefits, to help the enviorment
(peaceful)
Universal Health care gave our nation's people health care. Yes, taxes are going to be higher but it is not going away Republicans should just read all the pages and find what they cant cut.
(peaceful)
Pulled Combat troops out of Iraq.(protest rapidly declined outside the white house the protesters where quoted in saying they are confident Obama will bring back the troops.
(Peaceful)
A cop and a black prof had a national news misunderstanding. Obama just had a beer with them
(peaceful)
(Peaceful)

It is common knowledge that we gave weapons to the Afghans to fight the Russians. The point I am trying to make is do you think that's really right. We profit off of making a bigger badder war machine and selling our old weapons to third world countries. In turn by natural common sense revolution when you arm a country with a strong terrorist basis which we knew the Afghans had when we gave them the weapons. One day those people are going to fire them on us. Now we got our brave young men and women getting killed by weapons our government gave to the bad guys.

Begins... You are correct I misspoke before. I was watching the house republicans on C span the other day talk about cutting "alternative energy programs" That is going only strengthen our dependence on foreign oil. Offshore drilling is just to risky to our environment. I didn't grow up a proud Louisiana citizen just to see it become an giant oil spill. There is a lot of good in alternative energy people just have to open their minds advances in alternative energy are sky rocketing right now.

Those windmills will help future Americans be less dependent of foreign oil. I have never heard any studies of head trauma the reason the three blade design was picked for the wind mills was to reduce noise.

Those light bulbs are old and inefficient. Thomas Edison created that design in the 1870's. The new ones last for 7 years you know how much money and energy that saves. I think it was about time a new inventor where to come in and make a better light bulb. Making better versions of things is how we stay ahead hear in America. Cutting old light bulbs out the budget is a good idea. It’s time for an update.

I am with you on keeping your religion and guns. This is a free country everyman has the right to prayer and protection.

on universal health care its not that Pres Obama wants to kill your grandparents he just set up a plan that will give the most people insurance in our nation. it was something that was being pushed for an ongoing 8 years now Universal health care was going to happen eventually.

About the dental budget issue. I agree that was wrong. I am sure there where plenty of organization that could have been cut out first.

This is where I got back to the military spending. We put so much money into military spending we have to profit off of war. Selling weapons to third world countries to get money for newer and bigger and better war toys. Then we fight these African tribes and pirates and wonder why they are shooting at us with American made weapons. Or tell my why In Afghanistan terrorist where shooting RPGs at our troops that we sold to them when they where fighting the Russians. Our constant build up of military strengthen has us resorting to arming those who fight against us. We are the best most well trained and knowledge military power in the world. People Know not to mess with us. We can cut back a little bit on the military spending.

Im not crazy bout the stimulus bill either that’s a whole different forum lol we can talk on later

Everytime i hear republicans talk about how to fix the econemy i hear the same thing. Lets cut energy reform, obama care,and taxes. I dont think all our nations issues can be solved by throwing money at it either but lets think.
Energy effiecnet in America is not nearly as tech advance as most 1st world countries. Our energy plans will save money for our future generation so except the CHANGE.
You want everyone to not have universal health care because for a short run it will help our budget. Our econemy can withstain universal health care smaller nations have proven its pretty easy. Now taxes.
The trickle down effect didnt work with pres. Bush jr you know why? Big goverment keep our money and sold us a bunch of bad loans. So im sorry if we tax the rich now.

Republicans if you really want to cut spending know this. the rest of the worlds military spending is ALMOST the equivalent to ours lets cut some spending thier.

sweeping generlizations are never good for data. You need a control. Look at the fact that most of the high crime rate countries are also 3rd world countries. Don't look at the religon. look at the goverment, culture and war rate. The religon of the people isnt wrong they just live in crappy countries. Im not muslim but i am educated on thier ideas which are very simular to Christan morals.

its bad enough people can die for thier country but cannot drink. Just lower the drinking age prob solved lol

turn around and come back when the beaches are warmer

this 2 party system makes have to pick between an ******* and a douche most of the time. Most industrial countries have a 3 party system. We the biggest democratic power in the world still have a two and the metric system lol sounds backwards
