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.”

“The globalists have planned a combination of bastardized Communism with a bastardized form of tyrannical monopolistic capitalism for the world for many decades.”

That’s the “New World Order” in a nutshell....

It’s so CUTE that you think you’re a Revolutionary!

LOL.

All while you are quite happy to spit on the Founders and the Constitution they bequeathed us.... as long as it’s a Republican Administration in office.

The middle class must be destroyed, or he won’t get his “dictatorship of the proletariat”... otherwise known as rule by the elites for the elites and everyone else be damned.

Long live the Constitution, and may the conservative Revolution we are in succeed in removing the Marxists from Washington, and restoring our Republic!

And may God richly bless us and guide us as we seek to do HIS will for this great nation. God bless America!

If we sit idly by we will lose everything. Get moving!

Thanks for your kind reply.

I don’t think Sam Walton was a globalist. I do think the globalist jumped on supporting his system as a great way to shred a lot of mom and pop shops.

I wish I had a lot of confidence that anything like that would work . . .

I suspect that Christ at Armageddon will be what is necessary to remove the scum from hell.

You would have a lot more credibility if you viewed Republican socialism and tyranny in the same light.

So much for his discernment.

I'm not at that point yet, Quix.

We are surely in the last days, but I believe we are called by God, as Christ-followers, to defend the freedoms He has so mercifully granted us. I believe that His desire is for us to fight for our liberty, and the God-inspired, God-given freedom we have in this blessed country.

We need to be on our knees in prayer and spreading the word of Christ's redemption, but we most certainly need to be engaged in the fight, because we, as Christians, are going to be on the chopping block very soon if we don't.

I am confidently awaiting Christ's return, but I'm not sitting around waiting in the mean time (not implying that you are, dear FRiend!).

May God bless and protect this great Republic as we, who love it and are willing to fight, and even die for our liberty, continue the struggle we are now engaged in.

The more we have in the fight, the stronger we become. Please don't stand in our way.

You are a partisan Republican who is fine with destroying the Constitution as long as it’s a Republican doing it.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner!

Don't add to your dirty lies, rabs.

You're on very thin ice with your non-stop unethical behavior and incessant, unprovoked false accusations.

Where is your conscience? How can I pray for you to help you through whatever you're going through that's creating your inability to tell right from wrong?

I'm serious. You may freepmail me a response. If your friends won't help you, I will try.

For me, the battle between us is over with the moral line you have crossed in the past weeks. I want it to end, and I want to help you recover.

Stop projecting yourself onto me, Bushbot.

It's getting tiresome.

If I told you what you merely are I'd be banned from posting at Free Republic.

And that just might be a good thing.

You have crossed a deep red moral line, after which rational discussion is no longer possible.

I hope you find peace. I really do. One of your friends has privately asked me to pray for you, and I am doing so, not only at his request, but because of the understanding in my own heart that you need it.

It ain't over until the "fat lady" (that's you) sings.

Or are you already waving the white flag of surrender?
