Ron Paul: Barack Obama is Not a Socialist

NEW ORLEANS–Republicans and tea party activists are fond of accusing President Barack Obama of being a socialist, but today party gadfly Ron Paul said they had it wrong.

“In the technical sense, in the economic definition, he is not a socialist,” the Texas Republican said to a smattering of applause at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

“He’s a corporatist,” Paul quickly added, meaning the president takes “care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country.”

Paul doesn’t get the bigger picture. Obama views these corporations as the means to an end. Obama’s heart is pure communist.

Like I said before, nutjob Ron Paul is somewhere between Ross Perot, and Aunt Clara on “Bewitched”...with maybe a touch of “Rainman” thrown in.

LOL!! Totally agree!

Mussolini was also a “corporationist.” Obama is a fascist like Mussolini, except for the lack of military trappings.

That’s right, he’s a full-fledged COMMUNIST!

A ruling oligarchy doesn't care what the nominal legal structure appears to be.

He was pretending,

just to get elected.

He is no longer pretending:

Read this and weep:

Obama was a MARXIST in college, and still is now today.

Here is an interview with a Dr. Drew, PhD ... a fellow student at the time, and therefore it is from someone who knew him very very well: send to everyone you know if you wish to spread the (blocked) word:

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/13/marxist-obama-why-the-media-has-been-silent/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBGBszZ2Qw0

The full interview is devastating.

Too bad Fox News ignored Dr. Drew in 2008 when he contacted them.

We now know the details of Barry’s Occidental years.

He was an avowed and committed Marxist.

He looked forward to the revolution when the Marxists would overthrow our government.

His love for Marxism was unusually strong.

He looked forward to the revolution when the Marxists would overthrow our government.

His love for Marxism was unusually strong;

He was in passionate agreement with the most radical Marxist Leninist professors.

LOL! I have seniority no matter who's being a tattletale, because you've been here only two months (unless you're a retread).

But it doesn't matter who you are, your hero, who is not a conservative, opposes the work of our troops and that makes him a bad guy in my book.

(btw, If you subtract my "banned" time, which was really a time out because JimRob thought I had opused, I still have you by seven years, newbie. And your behavior is highly suspect of being something other than what you claim to be).

I am EXACTLY who I claim to be, and your calling me a troll makes you look like a dope.

Whenever you want to fess up as to who you really are, I'll be happy to know.

Until then,say HI to your friends at your other site. I'm sure they're interested in this little victory dance you're doing. LOL!

Exactly. He is the enemy of our military, and the idea of making him Commander in Chief and protector of our nation is almost as frightening as the imposter who’s pretending to do that right now.

Oh, and I doubt you're pro-life either.

The President we elect must be BOTH pro-life and pro national security.

Pitting one issue against the other is the work of a .....of a.......of a...............troll. ;*)

The primary Constitutional duty of the President is to protect us.

Ron Paul has no interest in doing that, and therefore is unqualified to be our President.

Just get him out of the way so we don't have to watch the country collapse with Obama.

We need to elect a CONSERVATIVE in 2012, and Ron Paul doesn't qualify.

Not sure about anybody any more. There are some aspects to Paul that trouble me but increasingly less and less esp when I see that the GOP has made of things.

We had 8 years of NWO Clinton and then 8 years of Obama lite - Bush. I do believe that Obama is a corporatist.. which is another way of saying a socialist but instead of government bureacrazis running everything the corporations along with govt bureaucrats do.

That is a dangerous thing. Making the world safe for democracy? Not any more...hasn't been for a long time. It's making the world safe for corporations by bailing them out, by ensuring their markets, by promoting govt takeover of obligations towards their employees, I could go on.

My only "other site" is a personal blog I maintain to archive articles I like. I honestly have no idea what you're babbling about.

But it doesn't matter who you are, your hero, who is not a conservative, opposes the work of our troops and that makes him a bad guy in my book.

Lemme tell you about one of my "heroes".

Senator Tom Coburn is a great Fiscal Conservative, and a great Pro-Lifer.

Tom Coburn would STILL be a great Fiscal Conservative, and a great Pro-Lifer, even if he was an "Old Right" Isolationist on Foreign Policy.

The fact that you can't see that, just proves that everything I've guessed about you (and everything I've been warned about you in FReepMail -- apparently you are a known troublemaker on this website) was correct: you ONLY care about War; you do not truly care about any other Conservative issue. Which means that you aren't, truly, a Conservative at all.

LOL, Ron Paul.
Whew... years ago I thought this guy was a principled, small government libertarian.
Turns out he’s just a simple goofball. ..A loser.

Any way, “socialist” is just a polite word for “communist”.
Ubanga is a communist.

I LOVE it! You've been "warned" that I ONLY care about war.

Well, newbie, you've been "warned" by a complete liar. But if you choose to trust that liar, so be it.

I am an across the board conservative with a long record of activism on social issues and electing conservative candidates.

Next time, it might be best to trust honest people. I'm honest. Your 'informant' is a bald faced liar.

Thanks for the conversation, CC. I've learned a lot about you in a very short time, the most important of which is that you can't be trusted.
