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.”

“May God bless and protect this great Republic as we”

The Republic has been dead for generations. Partisanship killed it.

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

When you understand that Republican socialism is as bad as Democrat socialism, you might be part of the “we”.

Whether or not you responded, rabs, I was preparing this to say to you. I am pinging a group of people that I hope will keep me accountable for what I am about to say. It may seem a bit melodramatic, but here goes.....

I am promising, before God and these witnesses to leave this battle to the Lord, and never take it back.

I am offering my forgiveness to rabscuttle385, and asking him to forgive me for the things I have said that have fanned the flames of the hatred he feels for me.

I am promising never to post an unkind word to rabs again, and if any of those of you I have pinged see me doing so, I am asking you to hold me accountable and correct me.

This is, for rabscuttle, far beyond politics and has become a very personal attempt at character assassination, and I believe the only thing I can do to stop him is to never post anything other than an occasional post in response to one of the threads he posts.

It is very important for me to have these repeated attacks be over, and should rabs post any in the future, I am vowing before all of you and before God, to not respond.

I will, however, report the comment to the Mods (which I have chosen not to do before), and let them decide if rabs is over the line.

And I am also promising to continue to pray for rabscuttle.

This may seem a bizarre post to many on the list I have pinged, but I am truly asking for your help, whether you agree with me politically or not.

Thanks for helping me to be more like Christ. Forgive me, Lord, for my sin.

As much as I love political fisticuffs, this is far different, and I need it to be over.

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

You get more juvenile by the hour.

Every community, online and otherwise, has its punks.

You're a typical Paulbot: Disrespectful, adolescent and retarded in several ways.

GWB was not my favorite POTUS, but he is no longer in power. Right now we need to do something about the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime. 2010 can be a very good year for conservatives if we keep that in mind.

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.

Then post the evidence here, Bushbot.

Obama is an interesting combination of communist/fascist.

You really don't get the whole "privately" thing, do you?

You're a coward...calling a woman names, knowing she's attempting to take the high road, trying to ignore your pre-pubescent bait and be unresponsive to your dumbass Paul-trolling attacks.

Grow the hell up, pimple-breath.

Oh, I do. And I have been privately advised by FRiends that no such request was ever made to OhioWbot by any of them.

Well that's a new one, RINO tool.

Of course you were. They too are attempting to keep the matter private (between themselves and ohioWfan).

Cowardice is rampant among the paulbots.

Paul is right about this. ObamaCare is a great example: benefiting PhRMA and the insurers at everyone’s expense.

Well, we DO know one thing, don’t we ohiowfan.

1) we both agreed not to post to one another back in October.

I did not post to you.

3) In the past month, you have posted to me about 10 times.

4) I did not post to you.

Conclusion?

1) Your word is NO GOOD.

I explained why I would post to you, and you have indeed posted to me, so if my word is not good, neither is yours, and we both know that's not the case with either of us.

I pinged you here so that you could help keep me accountable. It's fine if you don't want to do that.

I'm sorry for the imposition on your time.
