What? They didn't refer to him as "Grammy Nominee Barack Obama"?
The problem is?
Ah, the "new Democrats." Just like the old Democrats.
Why am I not surprised?
""They have a philosophy they have implemented and that is doing exactly what it was designed to do. They basically don't believe in government. They have a different philosophy that says, 'We're going to dismantle government'," Obama said."
That is, of course, wrong. He's confused us with Libertarians.
We simply believe in a very limited role of gov't. We believe that a government that is big enough to satisfy all of your wants is big enough to take everything you have. We don't believe that social ills are best handled at the hightest levels of government.
We believe that government should handle only those things that the private sector can't handle, and then it's handled at the lowest possible level of government. Once we declare that the role is a legit role we believe in funding it adequately so that it is done well (ie, the military).
Nate says the RATS practice Termite Mound socialism. So there.
Translation: The Democrat party is the party of losers.
Hey! Waitaminute!!!!
thoughT the Dims *worshipped* at the altar of Darwinism!!!
Capitalism, social darwism, individual freedom of choice... whatever... just keep your communism off my check book.
If he's the best they've got, they are in a heap of trouble. (YAWN).
He's just another phony moderate, and no doubt feels that his recent remarks urging the Dems to be cautious in the 'they lied us into war' mantra has made him questionable to the kook base of the party, so he says this to mollify and reassure them that he's still with them way out there on the Left.
if only this were all more generally true and thoroughly applied.
but we have made a bit of a start, at least.
"Social Darwinism" is not good?
Lemme see:
Evolution is good, except when it applies to obsolete political parties?
When was social Darwinism discredited, and by whom? I assume by "discredited" the reporter means "doesn't fit with my socialist fantasy worldview."
He is right that republicans want people to be on their own. What he does not say is that the democrats want people to be "NOT ON THEIR OWN, THAT IS DEPENDENT UPON A RULING ELITE WHICH IS THEM".
Now let's take a quick vote. Anyone who became happy by doing something on their own, raise your hand. Now, anyone who became happy because you were dependent on a government program, raise your hand.
He has all the insight of an 8th-grader who just learned the term and is convinced that-- "IT MUST MEAN A LOT!"
Sure, and Demos practice unintelligable design.>
Obama, speaking to the assembled masses at the headquarters of "Let's Pretend".
Do they even see the irony?
Democrats believe you are on your own to pay for health care, buy retirement security, buy your own roads and levees AND pay for all the Democrats' as well.
Plus he knows very well that the Republicans authorized over $40 billion worth of spending on the levees that the local "government" managed to spend without getting any worthwhile work done on the levees.
Hypocrite!
