Business groups are daring President Barack Obama to impose pay caps on labor union bosses in light of indications the White House will limit how much corporate executives can be paid. President Obama has argued “corporate greed” has contributed to the economic crisis and appointed a “compensation czar” to review executive pay for several companies receiving taxpayer bailout money Wednesday. Now White House officials have told the press legislation should be enacted to limit executive pay in private companies through nonbinding shareholders votes.

GOP to rebrand Dems as 'socialists' By: Roger Simon May 13, 2009 04:32 AM EST A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.” When I asked if such a resolution would force RNC Chairman Michael Steele to use that label when talking about Democrats in all his speeches and press releases, the RNC member replied: “Who cares?” Which pretty much sums up the attitude some members of the RNC have toward their chairman these...

Evidence is continuing to surface that indicates Barack Obama was a member of the Socialist New Party, an organization headquartered in Chicago during the mid-1990s. The New Party was formed to serve as a in Chicago by the Democrat Socialists of America in 1992 to serve as a central coordinating body for various Socialist Party activities in the region. It survived until 2000, when it disintegrated into its various factions. The Organization experienced a bump in membership in the late 1990s but was all but defunct by 2000 in part because of a Supreme Court decision that ruled the organizations...

American liberals are getting increasingly frustrated with the use of the term “democratic socialism.” But I’m getting increasingly fed up with the improper use of the term “liberal.” John McCain is a liberal. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, like all modern Democrats, are something quite different. For the record, the term “liberal” originally referred to people like Thomas Jefferson, indicating their undying reverence for “individual liberty” and “personal freedom” above all other notions and their opposition to government power. People who believe in empowering government to strip liberty and freedom from individuals in the name of some greater common good...

"Democratic presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., addresses the crowd while attending a corn boil Saturday, Aug. 18, 2007, in Clinton, Iowa."

The Democrat Socialists know that they cannot win elections if they told the tuth about their idea's and plans. WE, FReepers, know that they would like to instill an oligarchy-marxist state where dissent is outlawed. Look at what happens to christians and conservatives in the media and at most college campuses. The Democrat Socialists, DAZI's, already control the major media, bureaucracy, college campuses and hollyweird. They speak about tolerance but they have none for those who disagree with them. Howard Dean says we need a 'national dialogue' on race, but yet any conservative who speaks, like Rush Limbaugh, should...

Today's so-called Democrat Party is really a distribution in two parts, the sophisticated and the naive. Or more aptly, the Elitists and the Disciples as will be shown. They have been called Leftists, Extreme left, Anti-war left, Anti-war progressives, Liberals, Liberal Democrats, Conservative Democrats, Progressive Democrats, New Democrats, Progressives, Socialists and to non-revisionist historians they have been likened to the Tories of the American Revolution who were not averse to sabotage and to selling us back to England. The true platform of the so-called democrat party has been unfolding in an incremental manner since the New Deal days of Franklin...
