Is this too extreme of a question?

Not much of a difference but that “modern socialist” believe that revolution is not essential to the ideal for workers to control the state.

Obama is an enigma, although he appears to be a blend of fascism and communism.

THings like this should be public knowledge and taught in schools, but, no, instead our schools and the newspaper hide and confuse the truth.

I agree. It always amazes me when the left and the elitists glorify Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. They fall for the propaganda, thinking that they will be the ones in power if they follow in their footsteps . . . They have no idea of what it all really means . . .

All Bill really wanted was the goodies - the skirts, the TV appearances, the fawning press. Obama is hollow on the inside and is looking for power to define himself. He has always gravitated to vicious radicals, such as Wright or Ayers, because they give him a sort of mold in which to cast his undefined personality.

I don’t think he’s really soft, and in fact every time he has been challenged (such as by other Dem candidates) he gets quite vicious. But he doesn’t really have a well-developed program of his own, and he needs these people around him to define him and supply his program. Looking at them, I’d say this is not promising for the rest of us.

Yes, he’s a communist or a socialist.

No, it’s not too extreme a question.

Great points. I noticed you used the word (and aptly) “vicious” twice. it is interesting to observe that while in interviews, public appearances and debates Obama will show annoyance on occasion, but he has the sociopath's gift of deception and never seems to lose his cool.

The viciousness can be perceived, however. I see it in his eyes, his occasional slip of the tongue. Subtle and non-verbal, but there it is, just below the surface.

He enables his surrogates to act upon his viciousness - the attacks on Staney Kurtz, the attacks on Joe the Plumber, the impending attacks on this reporter.

Do you find it interesting that Obama supporters seem to have a green light and have taken license in defacing cars, vandalizing McCain offices, tearing down McCain/Palin signs, tearing down the sacred, time honored institution of voter registration via the criminal ACORN? Not only is this anarchistic behavior tolerated, it is condoned and tacitly encouraged.

Pelosi and Reed will be quick to plumment the nation into a total socialistist/marxist government.

Far too many of our fellow citizens are insulated from society. They do not understand much of the world beyond their 4 walls. Public education is an abysmal failure. It has not taught our children to become patriots. They are taught, rather, to be selfish, immoral louts. Drug abuse, promiscuity and a penchant for criminality are the petals on the public education flower.
For these reasons and much, much more of the same, a preponderance of electors will vote to install a man of no known character whose only friends are anarchists. We will reap what we have sown.

Call him a Marxist. It covers both.

I would think more on the lines of Warsaw, the French Underground, and the first Civil war rather than running off to Mexico or wherever. This nation’s too big and too many hard-working people stand to suffer if we let it go into the hands of the extreme left.

Fits my thinking too. Stand and fight is what this country was founded upon. It is time we learned that patriotism is intolerant of all forms of tyranny.

WOW!
A sometimes brilliant sagery. We will, indeed, be held responsible for eroding the foundation of our nation's greatness. Addiction to crisis mitigated by incremental forfeiture of our honor to government's hypodermic is our curse. We play the system at our peril.
The mongrels of democratic fascism stand at the door, ready to rip our voices from our throats and enslave us to their will. Catastrophe is hard on our heels.
