A blast from July that nobody in the MSM gave any mind to noticing.

There is nothing stealth about Obammunism. It is happening because we allowed it ...

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

And I know Buraq supporters that will deny this to their grave.

"Barack Obama has styled himself a centrist, but does his record support that claim"?

No. and be careful of his crafty move to the center, moves. He was trained by the best in manipulation.

"Free" job training (even for criminals).

Training to be a locksmith is popular among this lot...

His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't.

There are too many problems with the whole article or even with just this one sentence to cover them all. By setting the minimum wage at $10, he will price some workers out of a job and force rapid inflation to bring the purchasing power of that $10 down to the market value of the work done by minimum wage workers. Indexing the minimum wage to inflation will prevent the market from correcting for Obama's artificially high wages, leading to stagflation - econgomic stagnation with high inflation. Once you add in forced unionization, the economy will die along with freedom, and we're still nowhere near done with the evil and stupid ideas in the single sentence I quoted.

It will take a miracle from God for our country to survive Obama. [Governor Palin?]

“Economic justice” and

“Compassionate Conservatism”

Both mean exactly the same thiing, socialism. The republcan party must reject all forms of socialism regardless of who the presenter happens to be.

And we should not pretend that any in our party who advocate for socialism are welcome in the party.

It’s bad enough that the left is involved in this cult of personality, but conservatives should know better.

People who think they are entitled to the fruits of another's labor and use the government to take it are thieves as surely as if they had used a gun to take it themselves.

We’ve fought socialist dictators around the world for decades just to see one elected in our own nation. Shameful!

I think that those of us who actually did serve and fight will not take this lightly. We will not be disarmed and we will not be silenced.

From Obama’s years as teenager until now, all of his mentors
starting with Frank Davis, and friends have been anti-capitalist, anti-free enterprise, blame America for absolutely all the evil in the world. To suggest that he is anything but a hard left socialist with Chicago thuggery thrown in is absurd.

The Left is bent on Socialism and Marxism, it is what they do and wish for, in theory.

The push for the working to pay for the non-working, punishing business, punishing innovation and risk are all hallmarks of collectivist theory.

Obama is a Marxist, plain and simple, he wants to tell you how to live, work, eat, drink, drive, worship and invest.

Government regulates everything and control completely others...

In the end, the ACLU’s goals exactly align with what the Left wants...no private property, no private wealth, no moral judgment/vice, a weak military and punishment for those who object.

The “party members” who are looked to as leaders live lavish lifestyles, but the population lives in the communal existance the ideology rests on.

In the end, capitalism keeps the most people out of poverty because initiative is a self-generating system. If taxes are low, governmental intervention minimal, then busineees grow, employ people and create wealth (GDP) and via the recycled tax dollars of expansion and increased productivity, charitable programs are funded.

The Leftist wants to tear down independent wealth and replace it with a false collectivism, when in fact it is a way to consolidate power into fewer hands (see the former USSR, North Korea, Cuba, Cambodia, Venezuela, China).

He is a liar and a Communist.

Economic Justice should mean: “I earned it, I’m keeping it”

A lot of people on our side forget just how much power we really do have. Just think about who voted for this disaster we call Obama. Most of them are freeloaders and think the world owes them a living. We on the other hand are responsible and work our buts off paying the bills for everything. So it seems if we want Obamas sort of change, what we real Americans should do is just get on the handout bandwagon and force the economy into a total meltdown. Just remember this, tough responsible people that work hard and plan well for tomorrow always come out on top, that's a fact of life.
I personally am about ready to just take a part-time job (and food stamps if necessary)to just make ends meet and live poor for the next couple of years. If we were all willing to try this we could starve these socialist parasites of tax money and bring them to submission. I can tell you now that most of the Obama supporters will not be willing to work as we real Americans do. It has not been programed into them by the failing school systems and other socialist propagandist.

No stealth involved. Stupidity on the part of some voters, but it was very clear what Obama was about.

I think the only recourse for us in the US is to promote this socialism as much as we can so that what happened in the Soviet Union occurs here - the whole economy comes crashing down. Once this happens we can rebuild our country on the basis of the Constitution. So let’s spend our way into oblivion and get it over with.
