That’s actually a great retort, if you ever have the opportunity to discuss anything with an Obama defender.

Start out referring to him as a socialist,
and of course, the defender will declare he’s not a socialist.

Say, “You’re right. Considering his policies, he more fits the mold of a fascist. Thanks for pointing that out.”

He believes more in government CONTROL of everything. Somehow that is supposed to be better.

From "Thou Shall Prosper":

From the Bible and its oral tradition, Jews constantly hear God expressing this refrain to humanity:

I have created most of you with almost limitless yearnings and desires, but I have placed you in a world with apparently limited resources. It may seem that there is not enough for everyone. However, if you follow my rules of ongoing and constant cooperation, there will be more than enough for everyone. Should you decide to try it on your own, you will condemn yourself to a constant struggle for survival. I have set up the world in mysterious and counterintuitive ways. You are going to have to be generous and giving to one another. You are going to have to cooperate with one another, and you are going to have to understand that interpersonal economic interaction through Ethical Capitalism is good and pleases Me, while many of the other attempts to solve the problem of extracting a living from the world without voluntary cooperation are not only evil, but I have arranged for them ultimately to fail.

The fascist has the best of both worlds.
He has control over the means of production and distribution,

and he has the facade of private ownership to blame for the inevitable failures of his control.

“But if you’re asking whether the President believes in government ownership of the means of production (which is the defining issue in the socialist economic platform), the answer is no.”

Discrediting the whole article. No sense in reading any further.

I have often described our government as moving towards fascism.

Any degree of socialism is, by nature, dependent on some degree of tyranny.

“Making the right campaign contributions are becoming as important to a company as research and development.” “

If you don’t want a county code enforcement guy fining your construction project it’s important at the local level as well. My county has a line item in the budget, $550,000 revenue from code enforcement.

No, socialism has nothing to do with the notion that “all men are created equal” whatsoever. So Nazism has everything to do with socialism.

Government control of private property for the “good”of the state is fascism, and we have plenty of that. That’s exactly what Hitler did. It’s time for states to begin flexing their muscles in order to destroy the federal fascist bureaucracy infesting their territories.

So he’s a fascist.,

Specifically, he's an Afro-Centric Fascist.

His vision for America (or AmeriKKKa, as DemoKKKrats spell it) isn't Sweden. It's Zimbabwe.

(not sarcasm - just reality)
