Just don't call Barack Obama liberal, okey doke?
Boston Globe ^ | February 26, 2008 | Peter S. Canellos

Posted on 02/26/2008 5:20:48 AM PST by GQuagmire

AUSTIN, Texas - In his radio and TV ads that are blanketing Texas, Barack Obama claims a chief executive can make more money "in 10 minutes" than an ordinary worker makes in a year. Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, enact a national health plan, offer a $4,000-a-year tuition reimbursement in exchange for national service, and have the government intervene to prevent home foreclosures.

But he doesn't want anyone to call him a liberal.

How about the college kids getting a job on their own? Why should it be the government’s responsibility to find them work?

Yeah,it would be great!! If only my kid could compete with the illegals!

please explain the “crypto” part.

Does it mean that they try to hide their communism?

I actually don’t see a problem with national service for tuition, put the kids to work building roads and fixing bridges I say.

That is EXACTLY the way a socialist thinks. It sounds a noble and responsible idea, doesn’t it? Everyone wins, don’t they?

You’ve just stated the FUNDAMENTAL difference in the view of the role of government in the lives of citizens, between liberals and conservatives.

This exact principle is the basis for nationalizing health care. Nationalizing this, that and EVERYTHING.

Then...time goes by...and your LIBERTY is GONE.

He’s playing his cards very close to the vest. He’s either
a communist or the anticrist.

OK, did some research on the “crypto” part.

A crypto communist espouses all the ideals of communism, without stating, and most frequently denying, that he supports communism.

There is a shade of crypto communist, and this applies to a lot of democrat voters, that doesn’t understand that they ARE communists, even though all the issues they support put them firmly in the communist camp.

NO NO NO NO NO.

You don’t understand the concept.
Here’s what it really is:
1. taxpayers gets bilked to pay for college
2. colege kids get free tuition in exchange for ..
3. ‘community service’ project work that turn them into life-long sheep-dipped leftie-liberals.

This is ALL ABOUT CREATING A SOCIALIST MAJORITY.

As I’ve posted before: Obama is the Communist, Hillary is the Socialist, and McCain is far to the right of both of them - as a liberal.

Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy

The tax cuts were across the entire income spectrum. In fact, the middle class got the largest cut percentage wise. But liberals - yes, liberals - never tire of of "the Bush tax cuts were only for the wealthy" lie.

But he doesn't want anyone to call him a liberal.

Liberals are never inclined to call a spade a spade.

“Why doesn’t he complain that the movie stars make $20 million per movie while the people who pop the popcorn in the theater don’t make that much in a lifetime. And why doesn’t he complain that sports starts make more money in one game than the groundskeepers make in a year?????? Why only pick on evil corporations?”

That’s easy: Movie stars are almost exclusively die-hard liberals, and thus they are among Obambi’s most ardent supporters. Most sports stars (especially pro basketball) are black, and thus are another of his most ardent supporters. CEOs tend to be white males, though, and therefore are the Ultimate Evil.

“And don’t forget dismantling our Military.”

All the Republicans have to do is air that speech on a regular basis, and Obambi is toast. The hard-left will eagerly embrace Obambi’s surrender platform, but most moderates and independents will see it for what it is: Suicide.

Liberal?

Nah, that's still too right-wingish.

If Mister Obama ever gets (what I suspect is) his way and converts this great country into Utopian collective "paradise", perhaps even "Marxist" might too centrist.

Could Obama be a (well-concealed) "Stalinist"?

One thing for certain, he is certainly not an "Economist".

"Marxist", "Stalinist", "Utopian collectivist"...it all adds up to "change", n'est ce pas?

Actually after reading about Michelle Obama, her beliefs and acts, I would have to say that the Obamas are international fascists.
