What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship.
Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is his grab for unchecked partisan control over the conduct of the next census. Skillful manipulation of the census could make the decisive contribution to establishing an electorally unchallengeable party monopoly, which would then provide the basis for consolidating party dictatorship. If such dictatorship were not part of their agenda, the Obama faction would leave ultimate oversight of the census process where the Constitution places it in the hands of the legislative branch. As it clearly is part of their agenda, only ignorance or willful stupidity blinds people to Obama's ambition to establish a better tailored version of Soviet-style government in the U.S.
Of course, there may be another name for what keeps some of the so-called Republicans from speaking out about it. Could it be cowardice?

We are now in day 34 of our national holiday from reality
Nice tagline lol
I'm really not looking forward to the return to reality.
But it is coming. Soon.
You want me to define brave enough for you?
Fine I can do that, Dr. Keyes is the only politician in this country brave enough to stand up and say into a microphone that Obama is not eligible to be president and willing to take him to court to prove it.
Facing the sort of eternal damnation the media is more than willing to bring down upon his head for even daring to question the anointed one alone is damn near political suicide, but to actually question his presidency is perhaps the most courageous act of this era.
Your Anti-Keyes examples are too trivial to justify the intensity of your Anti-Keyes efforts.
But I know the Democrats are very afraid of Keyes, and will say or do anything to discredit him amongst Republicans and Conservatives. Especially by magnifying trivialities, or repeating derogatory labels, since substantive rebuttal is impossible.
Just a thought.
Why are the Democrats afraid of Keyes?
