But then again, now rewatching this scary video with the sound off, blasting K'Naan instead of the scary music you posted, I got some thoughts.

1) If the SP does say that stuff, that's because that stuff is good for the country. This is like an ad for the progressive program for the SP.

2) If Obama does believe in this stuff, then good for him. But you see, a year into his term, and he has done the opposite of what he apparently "believes in". So don't you feel dumb!

[Concern4US]

You must be joking. Over that last year Obama has FAILED miserably. He ia scaring even many democrats because he is so radical.

Scott Brown winning Drunk Kennedy's seat in liberal Massachusetts? This doesn't tell you anything?

Wake up, dumb ass.

As a member of the Socialist Party I find this hilarious. First of all, we are non-violent. Second, we do not fully endorse Obama by any means. and finally... what is wrong with you??? Who doesn't want people to have a livable wage and the right to health care? You're insane!

[Concern4US]

1. I never said The SP was violent

2. I never stated the SP's thoughts on Obama either way.

3What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? And what video did YOU watch?

BTW, I thinkit would be great if everyone could have a livable wage and healthcare, in a perfect world that is. It should NOT be done at the expense of MY quality of life, qulaity of healthcare, etc.

To take from some to GIVE to others is by DEFINITION, unAmerican.

I believe that Lincoln mentioned in the Gettysburg address a government of the people by the people and for the people. Now, does that not sound like socialism? or communism? look up the definitions of both. Neither are bad, if you think they are you are relying on the 1950's propaganda and cannot think on your own.

[AssyMcDoodle]

He totally is a socialist. Poeple need to wake up!

[pebblebudy]

Haha, I love your sense of satire. You have brilliantly exposed fallacious arguments of the radical right.

[nikzalesky]

To take from some to GIVE to others is by DEFINITION, unAmerican? Really? Where does it say that? Why does your opinion of what is an American matter more than mine? Don't I have my right to my beliefs, as an American? Besides, the President of the United States is a Conservative.

[VarietyBassist]

This is pure propagnada! Ignorante things like this is what make non-americans think bad of american people, thinking they are all stupid.

I´m an socialist my selve and believe me; OBAMA IS NOT A SOCIALIST, HE IS A LIBERALIST.

It is two very different ideologys, and liberalisme are not a left-winged ideology, as socialisme is.

So wont you please stop this madness!?

P. S. I dont believe that all americans are stupid. I´m against prejudices and racisme.

They are striving to re-distribute the wealth but it is not being taken from the "rich" but the middle class or pauper class...subterfuge to extract ALL resources from all people-so all will be beholden to BigBother and the Orwellian 'utopia'-all will be under "their" peace...which means millions are to die for not being "peaceful" their way....RFID in healthcare Bill makes it a "healthcare device" even if it is a FOREIGN BODY they will want all scanning their hand or forehead-

@Concern4US

I really need to talk to you about your Obama-conspiracy lifestyle. It's dangerous for America. I can't believe that you don't want your fellow Americans to live healthy lives in a just society. It's not communism he's after; it's common sense and decency.

Jesus did give food to the hungry and medical attention to those with "pre-existing conditions", and never once asked to see an insurance card, or for any monetary support for his offerings of assistance.

Interestingly enough, many of the earliest communists were devout Christians who wanted to emulate the society in the Bible that had communal ownership with resources managed for the community by a council of wise elders. I can find the book and passage if interested.

[S201676]

Interestingly enough, Richard Nixon proposed having a guaranteed minimum income during his presidency ...

Now, when I see significant parts of the private economy being seized and run by the government for the public good, then maybe we can discuss whether or not the government is acting in a socialist manner.

And, to stop you immediately, GM doesn't count - why? private CEO, government is a shareholder, but not owner, and the government's share is being sold to private investors as we speak.

[PsychoPunk1965]

Obama is not a socialist. In addition, the Socialist Party USA is irrelevant. I would know. Why? I am a democratic socialist. Barack Obama is not governing all that different from George W. Bush in terms of policy. In fact, one could call the Obama presidency "Bush's third term." And two, no one listens nor takes the Socialist Party USA seriously either. As a former member of the party, I could tell you that they were a waste of time.

[birex2000]

Jesus preached socialism : )

[g4macdad]

There is NO need for concern if you OBEY Jesus. Why are YOU concerned then?
