If Obama is a socialist, he's doing it totally wrong. More fascist leaning IMHO.

I'll wait until another news source is presented. WND is not trustworthy.

Socialism = Fascism. Just look at USSR & Nazi Germany.

Socialism/Fascism/Communism/Nazism - all the same objective: Government control.

I think this came out last fall. Horrifically, today's youth mock us old folks that know socialism for the evil that it is.

"What's so bad about socialism?" "Sweden is socialist, and they're not evil!"

When I first started hearing that, I was floored.

Well usually that's the same exact arguement I get into when it comes to Socialism. Honestly, when looking at history-- USSR & Nazi Germany were very sucessful Socialist nations aswell. It does WORK under certain leaders. However, I prefer not to have my liberties in the jeopardy of a few etlites running government. I would prefer to live in a government as weak as possible, because as history has shown, government naturally grows and becomes more authoritarian. This will eventually happen with the European Union. Either the Nationalists or Conservatives retake Europe from Muslim immigrants & Socialists, or a very centralist quasi-authoritaria nation-state could take control over all of Europe.

No thanks, I prefer a Libertarian or Anarcho-Capitalist society any day.

That's why probably he got elected, because he projected and marketed himself as opposite of "capitalist" Bush/Cheney in every aspect. He's one shrewed politician who knew how to capiltalize on an opportunity of a lifetime.

Nice video, but the religious overtones kills it for the free thinker.
