Doesn’t like the “S” word. What a wimp.

I may not be here in person but I'm watching you from above. Yes, I'm talking about you, Hussein Obama. "Don't mess with America"

Government is taking over the means of production in banking and medicine and stepping right up to the line in automobiles. If it isn't socialism yet it is something hairsplittingly close.

Calling a spade a spade.

Al Sharpton would consider that a racial slur.

Mitterand, the French Socialist President, is the one who coined the Change campaign theme years ago in order to justify all kinds of crookedness.

Obama cares not about the economy. This is an undeclared war.

Those who accuse the present crop of Democrats of being socialists are pretty much right on the mark.

It seems that “socialist” has supplanted “liberal”

The truth hurts.

Obama is starting to look a LOT like a “Salvador Allende”. Obama, like Allende was elected by the people and the Socialist bastard proceeded to destroyed Chile.
The US DOES NOT need an Allende!

Remember, folks, these are the same people who demonized and ridiculed Joseph McCarthy, called him a red-baited who saw non-existent communists in every dark corner.

Hussein isn’t even hiding his socialism.

the Conservative Political Action Conference here over the weekend, a kind of Woodstock for young conservatives.


Let’s see. Woodstock was a rock festival that was held outdoors on a farm. CPAC is a three-day conference in a large Washington, D.C. hotel. Would the NY Times write that the FOSE conference is “a kind of Woodstock” for federal office systems users?

And when did “Woodstock” become a pejorative reference in the NY Times style book? Interesting.

OK, if they don't like the S Word, we'll just go straight to the Big C Word.

The early fiscal activism of President Obama...

Like all (I'm just assuming here) socialists, Mister Leibovich describes socialism in the most benign of terms. "Fiscal activist"?

I, for one, am not so sure that Marxist Obama (notice, I didn't say "socialist") would be content with European style socialism. From all outward appearances, and reading between the lines of his speeches, I would say that I fear that his designs on this great Republic are more inline with EASTERN European Socialism.

But here are some questions I have for Mister Leibovich.

Mark, ol' chum.

Have you, or anyone at the NYT, or any of your journalistic associates ever posed the following to alleged President Obama?

1. President Obama, please rank yourself on the following spectrum, with (1) being most disposed toward communism, socialism, government ownership of businesses, and less freedom and private property, and collusion with groups to thwart fair elections; and with (5) being the most proud of our Republic, and the most disposed to personal freedom, personal resonsibility, property and gun rights, and free and fair elections. (Bill Ayers and Frank Davis rate ones); (Ronald Reagan would rate a five.)

2. Please rank the following leaders in order of whom you would most model your presidency...

- Ronald Reagan

- Pol Pot

- Mao Tse Tung

- FDR

- Winston Churchill

- Margaret Thatcher

- Woodrow Wilson

- Josef Stalin

- Fidel Castro

- George W. Bush, and...

- Hugo Chavez.

.

(3) (Bonus question) How important to you is character? How important is it to you to tell the truth? How important is it to you to allow dissent (among reporters and the general population)? Being clear, concise, and specific, what do you mean by "change"; and name 5 things about America that need changing (from what to what). No generalities, please.

.

I'm quite confident that you never will never ask these questions, or questions like them.

.

I call Obama’s dream the Socialist Republic of America (SRA).

“as the go-to slur”

This coming from the New York Times. When did they start worrying about slurring people? Don't they make their living using this practice?
