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.”

What is unfortunate is freepers ignoring the issues and turning personally on each other day after day. A GIANT distraction when we need all the unity we can muster to fight REAL enemies.
“And calling the patriotic mothers of American soldiers “anti-American.”
You continue to support a globalist former President who REFUSED to defend the territory of the United States or even close the visa hole used by the 9/11 attackers. So, yes. I do.
“Your opinion is of no consequence to a patriot, especially regarding the protection of America from its enemies.”
I don’t think you understand what “protecting America” looks like. There hasn’t been a President truly interested in “protecting America” since Reagan or, perhaps, Ike. You support big government, if it’s your party doing it. You support the violation of the Constitution as long as it is cloaked in an “R”. You are no patriot - at least not to the Constitution. You are merely a partisan.
No excuses. And no more conversation until you apologize (which you won't do, so, "Good bye")
Any further insipid posts of yours will be ignored.
If I told you what you merely are I'd be banned from posting at Free Republic.
“You have called the patriotic, pro-military, pro-American mother of a twice deployed American hero, “anti-American.””
You may be the mother of an American soldier, but so was Cindy Sheehan. In your own way, you aren’t much different. Both just partisans. Actually, she’s more consistent than you. She protests Obama too.
“Any further insipid posts of yours will be ignored.”
Good.
“If I told you what you merely are I’d be banned from posting at Free Republic.”
Liberals and partisans generally have thin skins and are quick to anger... as long as they are safely behind a keyboard.
Smartasses generally run their mouths without fear of reprisals...as long as they are safely behind a keyboard.
“Smartasses generally run their mouths without fear of reprisals...as long as they are safely behind a keyboard.”
Yes. You do go on a bit.
*eyes shifting nervously back and forth*
:-)
You say I'm the same as Cindy Sheehan to get a rise out of me.
But the only thing it does is indicate that you have either a mental disorder, or are so desperate that you will say anything, no matter how inflammatory and stupid to 'defeat' the enemy.
My enemy, however, is not cowardly chumps like you, but is Obama - you know, the one you aren't lifting a finger to get rid of?
So.........you see me as the enemy, and I see Obama as the enemy. Our positions are clear.
You can fight your fight against me, but I choose to fight for America.
Thank you Mr. Capote.
SFB.
Ya know, I was wondering what that word meant. Can you ‘splain? ;*)
I didn't say that you were the same as Sheehan, just that you use similar tactics to try to win arguments.
“But the only thing it does is indicate that you have either a mental disorder, or are so desperate that you will say anything, no matter how inflammatory and stupid to ‘defeat’ the enemy.”
It's called “being direct”. Clearly I hit the X-ring pretty regularly.
“So.........you see me as the enemy, and I see Obama as the enemy. Our positions are clear.”
Yes, I see liberal Republican partisans as the enemy. You're the French division behind us and Obama is the German divisions ahead of us.
“You can fight your fight against me, but I choose to fight for America.”
No, you choose to fight for REPUBLICANS. Republican Party interests - at least the leadership - aren't really any more aligned with the best interests of the United States than the Democrats. That's something you either will not accept, don't understand, don't see, or you tacitly agree with their soft-socialism.
It's okay, I'm PC approved to say that.
Far from "hitting the X ring" you have shamed yourself beyond redemption.
Now, as I said, you may consider me the enemy, but you will not divert me from fighting the real enemy, which you choose to ignore.
You can't win this battle, but WE the PEOPLE can.
Join us, centrist, or get lost under the trampling feet of the revolutionaries who will mow you down.
Now you may call me a traitor again, and I will allow you to make a complete jackass of yourself, as is your custom. You can't seem to control the urge to look ridiculous.
A little Spanish lingo thrown in. ;)
So much for peace. The posts after yours are more venomous than before it.
The globalists have planned a combination of bastardized Communism with a bastardized form of tyrannical monopolistic capitalism for the world for many decades.
“A comparison of a patriotic mother of a brave soldier who is bursting with pride in her son with an evil leftist traitor, is vulgar, reprehensible, irresponsible, and deserving of scorn.”
You use your son as a weapon to attempt to win arguments. Just like she does.
That’s vile.
Perhaps you should stop using that tactic?
“Now, as I said, you may consider me the enemy, but you will not divert me from fighting the real enemy, which you choose to ignore.”
I don’t ignore the real enemy, but you ignore or side with half of them.
“Join us, centrist, or get lost under the trampling feet of the revolutionaries who will mow you down.”
Lady, I’m far from a “centrist” and you are VERY FAR from a revolutionary. LOL. You are a partisan Republican who is fine with destroying the Constitution as long as it’s a Republican doing it. That’s pathetic.
You're his friend. Help him grow up, OK?
