It was once so toxic to be called a “socialist” that newly minted President Obama called The New York Times to protest that he wasn’t one. Now? House Democrats just voted overwhelmingly against a resolution condemning it.
The following quote is widely attributed to Norman Thomas, who was the “the Socialist Party of America’s candidate for president in six consecutive elections between 1928 and 1948.” And while there is some doubt (according to lefty academics) as to whether or not he said these exact words in this exact order, there is no doubt that the sentiment was his:
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of Liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation without knowing how it happened.
I guess Norm could never have imagined today’s Democrats. He certainly couldn’t have imagined a black president who would share the sentiment. Obama may be making noises of caution about DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) these days, but don’t let him fool you, even a little. We will look at Obama’s socialist bona fides in a moment, but first, an event that really shouldn’t shock any of us took place in the House of Representatives on Monday.

Votes are where the rubber meets the road. Rhetoric is one thing, but when you have to put your name on a Yea or Nay, it becomes real, and it’s often where you see politicians on either side of the aisle break. You can read the entire resolution here, but suffice it to say, it was a factual recital of the evils of socialism writ large, and only 8 Democrats saw fit to join it.

🚨 JUST IN: US House votes to condemn socialism and a whopping 192 DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST IT
Final vote: 220-192
Read that again: 192 House Democrats, a vast SUPERMAJORITY, support socialism!
This is terrifying.
Vote RED in November because our nation depends on it! 🇺🇸
Being a Muslim Soetoro could say that. Being a Muslim, the most evil iteration of TOTALITARIANISM, his mission is to rid the world of infidels. Islam supersedes all other names of collectivism.
FUBO
Obama, known as the liar he is, also stated when he was campaigning the marriage should only be between a man and a woman, later claiming he “evolved” and he no longer believed that.
Yes, Barry Soetoro - D eceiver
What has changed — The mask is off.
IMHO Bernie Sanders deserves most of the blame for the rise in popularity of socialism. He may have failed to become president. But he succeeded in what was probably his main mission — making socialism cool to the youth.
CAN WE STOP WITH THE “RED” and “BLUE” DESIGNATIONS?
An astonishing number of people don’t know which is which.
Just use Democrat and Republican. The word democrat is gettign less and less liked because its getting more closely aligned with ‘democrat socialism’
DONT SAY “VOTE RED” SAY “VOTE REPUBLICAN” OR EVEN BETTER “VOTE TRUMP/REPUBLICAN”

....SNIP....."Chicago Democratic Socialists of America endorsements in the March 19th 1996 Primary Election went to Danny K. Davis, Patricia Martin, Willie Delgado and Barack Obama[6].
In Chicago DSA's New Ground, Danny Davis was described only as...[7].
...certainly not foreign to Chicago DSA. From the very beginning, he has always been willing to help: appearing as a speaker with Michael Harrington, serving as a Master of Ceremonies without peer at the annual Debs - Thomas - Harrington Dinner.
...not as the full fledged Democratic Socialists of America member he actually was.
Barack Obama was given an extensive profile that covered his work with Project Vote, Developing Communities Project and Annenberg Challenge Grant, his education, community activities, education and work for Judson Miner.
Barack Obama is running to gain the Democratic ballot line for Illinois Senate 13th District. The 13th District is Alice Palmer's old district, encompassing parts of Hyde Park and South Shore."...snip...
What in the heck is the matter with Vermont to elect a socialist like Sanders? Geeezzz…
The author about the Maine nazi again. Why do they always forget about the Maine nazi?
The author forgot...
The democrats have been very subtle with their socialism for over 60 years. Barry Soetero had to deny it though he was very obvious. With the MSM (Lying Media) in bed with them, the socialist and marxist amongst America have free reign!!
Fidel Castro denied he was a Communist, until he admitted that he was a Communist.
Yet Obama seized automakers in a “nationalsation” move designed to punish opponents. It was the start of #CCCP
You give him too much credit.
While we were "busy" working our normal jobs, the Left captured all of the important institutions and yes that includes the NFL.
The only thing we can know for certain is that he’s a goddamn liar.
I agree - I hear ‘red’ and I think ‘commie’
He’s Muslim. It’s ok to lie to the infidels.
