Who cares what jeb Bush thinks or how he defines socialism. Socialism/progressivism is not in question. It exists and there are many in office now who believe in every principle of that philosophy. No Obama’s not a socialist he is a flat out communist. Lets quote him…well Marx actually and see if this isn’t exactly what his whole redistribution of wealth plan is about:
” The distinguishing feature of communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois [rich people's] property. But modern bourgeois [rich people's] private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.
In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes…
-A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
-Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
-Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
-Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
-Centralization of the means of communication and transport in he hands of the state.
-Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
-Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
-Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
-Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.

and for the record Obama is not a socialist, he’s a populist who is governed exclusively by political opportunism. in reference to the employing of folks to build infrastructure etc, that is a good thing in a down economy but if you believe that the stimulus package is mainly about direct employment for a finite time period, you need your head examined and it would be worth your while to at least read the budget because most of the approved stimulus is actually a permanent increase in the size of government, not the bolstering of private sector jobs. if you run that one out to its natural conclusion you end up with what many would consider to be socialism: state run services operating as monopolies and that structurally preempt the ability of private enterprise to compete in those markets. nighty night lefties…….

lmao rotfl. you lefties are such a cute bunch. limited real world experience but full of words and opinions. seriously, why are you so married to this incessant Bush criticism? if you had half a bone of journalistic capacity you would at least focus on what is not happening in our current political culture versus what was promised during a lengthy vetting process over the last two years. but then again, that would suck for you since your guy hasn’t made good on one damn thing he said he would. get ready for higher taxes, Barney Frank up yer butt and Uncle Sam peeping into your medical records. take your vitamins, pray your mommy gave you good genes and don’t smoke because you will not want to get sick. oh yeah, and while you guys stay glued to your narrow interpretations of what is cool versus what is relevant, i’ll be watching the One’s favorable ratings sink like a ship. as Arnie says, I’ll be baaaahhhck when Obama’s unfavorables break the magical 45 (which will be in 4 weeks at this rate). but don’t take my word for it – do your own diligence…..me thinks you guys are the ones who are afraid because the reversion to the mean is happening and it ain’t the east coast elites who are going to benefit.

Hey look folks, Obama is selling us out. At least Jeb B. is telling it like it is, and I admit, his brother could not articulate. Obama cannot articulate without his prompts. He us selling us out and causing an even larger debt. Save the illegals and give more of my hard earned income to the lazy unemployed who don’t even go out looking for work. BS. and I am one of the many who are pissed off….Get it?

Oh, Cracker Crusher (I realize that addressing you will only make it worse, but here’s my plea): Stop being a fake (as in, you’re not a real person), stupid, ignorant, disgusting, uninformed prick asshole.
