Why does CNN put “socialism” in quotes?

It IS socialism.

Nothing more fun than watching a leftist scream when they are stuck with a Palin knife.

Go Sarah Go!!!

We have known for a long time the leftist elitists are socialists because they decided at a young age to pursue elitist vocations that do not pay well. Now that those elitist leftist snobs are in their 50’s they are demanding a portion of the money being made by hard working folks.

I think McCain/Palin (one or both?) are making a campaign stop here in Colorado Springs tomorrow evening. I'm going to the GOP rally. Hopefully I can get my Nikon D-60 in and bring back some pictures to post here.

We need more people like Mrs. Palin to stand up and call Obama what he is - a socialist. The poster is right - this is no time to experiment with socialism. It has never worked anywhere it has been tried. That's right, a 100% failure rate. Of course, today's socialists like Obama believe that is just because the right people haven't been in charge - ie. them.

Every new socialist thinks they can do it better than the millions who have failed before them.

The fact is, we have had socialism since FDR. Taxing one citizen in order to give the money to another citizen is socialism, even if you call it "welfare state capitalism." The only question is to what degree you can have socialism and maintain some semblance of a free market.

Our mixed economy has stayed capitalist in nature, while absorbing the inherent inefficiencies of government redistribution. Our ingenuity was able to overcome the hit on our productivity. We survived (barely) the social programs of FDR and LBJ, and started to push back with Reagan, which is why the economy soared these past 28 years.

Obama is a true believing socialist, moreso than FDR or anyone who has held any office in the federal government, ever (except perhaps Henry Wallace). He will make the nationalization of the financial system permanent. He will nationalize health care. He will de facto nationalize the auto industry, although he might leave it in private hands. He will move taxes to punitive levels. All while imposing liberal social policies and demasculating our military. In the military's place, he'll create a "youth volunteer" program, which will provide all kinds of welfare and educational benefits, and morph into a brownshirt brigade.

He, with the connivance of Nancy and Harry, will fundamentally change the structure of the US economy and society. At some point, the balance changes, and it goes from being a free market system with some socialism to a socialist state with some limited freedoms. That point is probably crossed when you have that much of our economy nationalized, and especially when you have a majority dependent on the government. Not to mention 20 million new illegals that Obama's minions would welcome in.

We have never been able to get rid of one program from the New Deal or the Great Society. Not one. If Obama gets these things, even if he doesn't become a dictator and willingly gives up power at the end of his term, it will be exceedingly difficult to undo the damage. Not without a re-boot of the Constitution. How do we get that?

This is a dangerous time.

That’s my girl! No wonder they hate her, she speaks the truth and exposes their lies to the light of day. God bless her and be with her.

That is why I just LOVE Sarah! Yes, Sarahcuda, USE THE “S” WORD! REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS AT THE HEART OF SOCIALISM, BOTH IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE, SO CALL OBAMA’S TAX-CUT BY ITS TRUE NAME.

The rest of the CNN article was scary. As a rule, I don’t read CNN — can’t stomach it — but I was shocked at how overtly in the tank it was for Hussein Obama. When Sarahcuda brought up the redistribution via tax-credit, the article immediately editorialized by writing “Tax credits are part of the McCain healthcare plan.”

Uh, yeah, but (i)McCain doesn’t call his “tax credit” a “tax CUT”, and (2) his tax-credit does not create any new subsidy. Both the WSJ and IBD have written many times on this issue.

Sarah is getting good information and she knows how to use it (i.e., just tell it to people - straight talk). Team McCain should buy some TV time, write her a great speech, and let her knock it out of the park again. No holds barred: let her bring up Ayres, ACORN, Wright, Rezko, Odinga, Philip Berg and the birth certificate issue (she would only have to suggest here that there is cause for concern), and the welfare-statist, socialist nature of Obama’s policies. Let her compare that witches brew to McCain’s character, and her own record of improving the economy of a state by encouraging competition and cutting taxes; “returning government to the people” as she called it in her St. Paul acceptance speech.

Sarah can change hearts AND minds.
