Obama is not a socialist

[cathrasher1974]

So what ? you expect him to carry a DSA card and say " Hey Look america Im a Socialist. Socilist especially ones in the public arena are very private about it. If you think his domestic programs aren't a form of socilism then where do they come from ? They sure as hell dont come from Adam Smith,Bostiat,or any of the founding fathers. Go read the communist manifesto and you will see exactly who this man is. He thinks hes a dictator,just listen to him speak. No president should sound like that.

[quakefiend]

Obama's not a socialist eh? That's strange.. then why is he affiliated with the Chicago DSA?

[shredderM2]

Obama is a socialist. Americans seem rather confused about what socialism actually is, as if they think that if you are a socialist then you must be a marxist leninist or a stalinist. Let's weigh up the facts, Obama believes in redistribution of wealth (a socialist ideal), multiculturalism (a socialist ideal), welfare dependancy (a socialist ideal). If he was a european politician he would be a member of a socialist party. Socialism is about forcing the poortobedependantonthestate,en­slavingthem.

[jackwilshiresfakeid]

You speak rationally and sound quite intelligent, are you sure you're American? This has gotta be a hoax

[superjeff14]

Are you sure? I mean, his last name is Hussein.

[JamesnNoell]

I really like that this video points out that no matter how taxes are adjusted it is a 'redistribution of wealth' only now it's a matter of the very well off to the filthy rich getting just a teeny bit taken off and a little less tax burdens on the poor. Jesus would approve. ;D

[chibinaruto360]

oh and btw him and his progressives are doing exactly what the Nazis did economically. Would you support a Nazi? He might not be killing jews but he is doing everything he can to destroy the most important document that originated in the head's of men, the United States Constitution. He is an enemy to it.

[chibinaruto360]

He is socialist, hands down, he surrounds himself with Marxist thinkers who proclaim that violent communist leaders from the past are their idol. He is destroying the prosperity of an entire nation and our posterity will b hit the most by it. He wants 1/2 of your estate when you die, half of your entire life's work. That is ridiculous,

[seanseanseanseansean]

He is redistributing wealth. Face it. That is not the American way. You can move to a socialist country and suck from the government's tit.

[PsychoPunk1965]

Hey frriend, did you vote for Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney? I, myself, voted for Ralph Nader in 2008.

[biped19]

benito-obama is a fascist.

I am sick & tired of these neo-con-artist pushing this garbage of Socialism & Marxism. Most of these troglodytes can't even differentiate between the two.

Neo-con-artist reactionaries are a fringe collection of sociopaths & will continue to obfuscate the truth at the expense of everyone. That "do you miss me yet" governor bush sign is proof of that. The agenda for them is to continue the left right paradigm.

Neo-liberalism = neo-conservative.

[dukee155]

well i do not support any tax increace on anyone however i support to cut non effective or un neccisary government programs and legaliseing mary and that way we will save money on police also getting rid of gun control so that way people can secure themselfs and we can crack down on illegal firearms which are more likely to kill someone than a legal firearm these and many others can bring down spending and that way we can someday establish a flat tax on everyone

[Kmcampbell92102]

Only Morons and lunatics and losers think Obama is a socialist. The republicans have been in the senate and power since the 90's. We need a change for the people that is less fortunate here.

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

@Kmcampbell92102 what do you expect mainstream conservative americans are incredibly stupid and paranoid

[slickrickdarula]

Obama (like Bush) is a fascist: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

@slickrickdarula well done

[ConstableJonze]

If you're a socialist why don't you get the fuck out of my capitolist democratic country and go to some superior socialist country where you can reap it's rewards.

You make me sick. You live in the best country on earth but you think we could be even better if we were to follow the stellar example of socialist shit through out history.

Why don't you step the fuck up rather than sitting around on your faggot ass waiting for the rest of us to be legislated down to your level?

[LovexandxRage]

That's is the best response ever. You have summed up everything...His "faggot ass" is being oppressed by your fucking ideology created by the Best Country in the WORLD! Why don't you go to Stalin's socialism and censor freedom of speech. Socialist....

[ConstableJonze]

Oppressed??? Were you lobotomized as a child? What do you claim to know about oppression? On second thought, based on the ignorance of your comment I'm sure I don't want to hear your History 101 definition of the term. This country has fought and defeated tyranny and oppression since it's inception. This is the most racially, ethnically and religiously diverse nation on the globe. It's not my problem if that fact does not fit into your incredibly SMALL minded world view.

[LovexandxRage]

What the fuck do lobotomies have to do with anything? You twit. Oppression is more occult and less blatant in the current state of the reigning spectacle. Only those who oppress and benefit from the oppression of others are blind to it. It's a shame you wish to dismiss any understanding of history I have being that you may benefit, or perhaps a brief definition of socialism will suffice?

Keep your head in your ass you Nazi sympathizing piece of shit.

[LovexandxRage]

Additionally, if you are a Constable, as your name alludes to, I hope you catch a bullet in the line of duty defending liberty in the face of oppression you so valiantly uphold. It isn't oppressive calling one a faggot, is it?

[longlivetheloud2]

@ConstableJonze you're such a fascist. you think you're higher than the other people in the world because you're from america.

[TheSplashMan]

Heh..It's kinda funny..where i live, Obama would be considered to belong to our most conservative/right-wing party, while the real socialists ("The Social Democrats") usually have about 35-45 % of the swedish votes every election. ;D

Great video by the way! ;D

[tonyman1989]

"You would vote for him if he was a socialist?"

Indeed I would.

"I doubt that you understand what Socialism is. "

I know what socialism is. It is the right that doesn't seem to.

"Being against Bush does not make you right about everything."

I didn't say it did.

[HDNKR]

I dont know about your voice but I think your hair is getting a cough too! BTW Obama is a communist!

[hedgehog58]

I'm always amazed that people who have obviously been listening to their liberal professors, and have no real understanding of history post inane things like this.

You would vote for him if he was a socialist? It is time for you to read a few history books.

You have no concept of what fascism is, and I doubt that you understand what Socialism is. You probably think it is some version of John Lennon's "Imagine".

Being against Bush does not make you right about everything. Think, study, learn.

[steyzon80]

Obama is an IDIOT for giving the Queen of England an I-Pod! He is just a socialy inept dumbass! He's worse than Bush on that front.

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

@steyzon80 gave the Queen of England an iPod?

what the hell did he do that

[tonyman1989]

"hes a socialist BEACUSE HE WANTS wants the government to run basic services such as the car industry,oil companies,hospitals,banks." Regulation and government control does not equal socialism. His politics are in line with keynesian economics. He supports capitalism, just not the type of capitalism you support.

[mikeiswylde]

Look buddy I have been studying Economy for a while now more the Austrian school, and keynesian economics does not support capitalism at all. It lends to government meddling inside Capital markets. I think that when a government has something to do with work unions, health care, automobile industries, Price and commodity suppression/regulation, not to mention oppressive civilian privacy and rights being ignored,

[mikeiswylde]

when that happens its not Capitalism, Democracy, or freedom anymore. I think we will come to define what obama is doing in the future after he does it, as a mixture of democratic socialism-fascism. Not democracy

[ILUVJEZUZ94]

@tonyman1989 uh regulation and government control does equal socialism. Capitalism is private owned that doest benefit the governemnt or the people.

[realdeal119]

people are so fuckin stupid. obama is a fraud and nwo puppet. hes a socialist BEACUSE HE WANTS wants the government to run basic services such as the car industry,oil companies,hospitals,banks. and he wants to tax shit that shouldnt be taxed. too many people fall for his bullshit cause they are too dam stupid and lazy to do research. he wants more illegal wire taps, the draft, more troops in Afghanistan to fight a fake war. hes a fuckin socialist dictator.

[raysfan2]

What I am saying is ...A patriot understands how this country is based on freedom and recognizes when the ones in charge are taking them away..and standing up to fight to keep them..Not to try to make taking away freedom an OK thing in the name of "CHANGE"....A rose by any other name is still a rose

[tonyman1989]

Then you are trying to silence opposition. You are saying I must agree that the Dems are stealing our freedoms or I am not a patriot. You are also saying I must agree with your definition of freedom or I am not patriot.

There doesn't appear to be room for dissent in your world view.

[dumanator66]

I believe in freedom and the right to do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Our constitution basically protects us and lets us do just that, but our leaders want to control everything. Our constitution is not being followed and that is a shame. They promise to uphold the constitution, when swore into office and then completely do the opposite.Everyone needs to open their eye's and make them uphold their pldge or we all fall and lose are freedoms!

[tonyman1989]

The idea that the government is power hungry isn't a matter of socialism or capitalism. There are forms of capitalism and socialism that use government control and there are forms of capitalism and socialism that do not.

[ProfMTH]

Alas to say, Tony, our society is populated with a significant number of paranoid, fact-impervious morons. They know nothing about socialism or just about anything else. Yet their ignorance doesn't keep them from ranting about things about which they know nothing.

You do well to try to correct them.

[1234heckman1234]

MMMMMM KOOL AID!!! WAS IT GOOD ??

[raysfan2]

Wow..you are so clueless

We have been going socialist for a century.Obama just put it into hyperspace.Try reading judge Napolitanos .."A Nation Of Sheep " for all of the evidence you seek....Be a Patriot not a clone of the propaganda you have been taught in school..before its too late

[tonyman1989]

"Be a Patriot not a clone of the propaganda you have been taught in school"

Interesting way to silence opposition. So what you are saying is I either have to agree with you or I am being unpatriotic?

[chancew44]

You can't deny the fact that they are moving the US in that direction.

[tonyman1989]

"You can't deny the fact that they are moving the US in that direction."

There moving the nation towards keynesian capitalism. You may not agree with that, but lets try to keep our definitions straight.

[truthrulz]

Might not be full socialism, but they are laying the groundwork, and they have already implemented or suggested socialist ideas like socialized medicine, forced service (was suggested but currently removed from legislation), heavy regulation of food production and forced closure of some farms, gov. takeover of banks, Gov. regulation of churches, etc.

[ProfMTH]

"forced service (was suggested but currently removed from legislation)"

Forced service, eh? Do tell, Truthrulz. And quote the language from the proposed legislation that talks about "forced service." Thanks.

[truthrulz]

"Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled Duties, in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, 'Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed. . .'"

[ProfMTH]

""Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled Duties, in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, 'Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed. . .'"

Well, that's quite a bit different from what you said initially, Truthrulz. It seems that for you truth does *not* always rule.

[truthrulz]

No it's not "quite a bit different." What does mandatory mean? I don't even know if that is how it was originally stated or if it is the new HR 1388. It makes little difference to me in principle if they were going to make it mandatory or if they are now only exploring if "mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed. . .'" Just the consideration of such action is disturbing. Maybe we should consider transparency "mandatory." Obama has not lived up to his word.

[ProfMTH]

"No it's not 'quite a bit different.'"

Oh, yes, it is *quite* a bit different from what you suggested earlier. In any case, I don't happen to be an advocate of a national service requirement, but my opposition doesn't spring from paranoid fantasies about President Obama's "agenda," socialism, and "government regulation of churches."

[truthrulz]

You mean laying the groundwork and socialist ideas. Wooptydoo. I did not even say absolute socialism. However, if HR 1388 is as it seems to say then it will no longer be a fantasy. I never said anything regarding that was truth yet. However many things about this admin. has been proven to be true such as the AIG blunder that was partially created by Obama's cronies. Obama promised transparency, and they rushed the spending bill through in less than a day from what I have read etc etc.

[tonyman1989]

"socialist ideas like socialized medicine, forced service, heavy regulation of food production and forced closure of some farms, gov. takeover of banks, Gov. regulation of churches,"

These points do not necessary equal socialism. Regulation and government control is part of keynesian capitalism. There is more to socialism then just regulation and government control.

I have heard of the forced service ideas and this is not a socialist idea.

[truthrulz]

I said they were laying the groundwork. It's a lot closer to socialism than what you will find in the constitution. I really don't care what you call it. It's not the defining word that counts. It's what it is and does that counts. If your only point here is to argue what socialism is, then I think we are in the gray--neither absolute socialist/communist, but not real freedom either. I don't think they need any more foothold. They created the mess, and more overspending will not fix it.

[dumanator66]

your two cents are worth about 2 handfuls jack crap,just like our dollar will be when obama is done.Keep printing money and let china own us.Your college professors must love you,eating up every word they say.Good luck with socialism and have fun!

[CaliBeach0007]

Dumanator: Isn't that the truth! Tony, please feel free to move to Scandinavia or to one of the other European socialist paradises--or even better yet, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, etc. Anemic economic growth rates (if any growth at all), unemployment rates (every year, indefinitely) in the 10-15% range, below-replacement demography, eroding defense and military structures--but as you said, you "don't want to bash socialism," so maybe I should be likewise more accepting of such dysfunctionality.

[tonyman1989]

In the video I am not advocating socialism. I am addressing the claims by the right that obama is a socialist.

[tonyman1989]

All I am addressing in this video are the claims that obama is a socialist. I do not support obama nor do I support his policies. If you believe he is a socialist then provide evidence. Otherwise Fuck off.
