After perusing some new information, I can no longer truthfully claim that presidential contender Barack Obama is a socialist. It seems that Obama’s personal mentor, referred to in one of his books as “Frank” is Frank Marshal Davis. Davis is who Obama credits with helping him to find his identity. Frank Marshal Davis is a Communist. A favorable article about Frank M Davis still shows the communist aspect(Note communist buzz words like fascism, class struggle and imperialism).
And of course World Net Daily, has an article that ties in some of Barrack Obama’s current political and social communist leanings.
From the article:
Kincaid noted Obama has admitted attending “social conferences” and seeing Marxist literature. “But he ridicules the charge of being a ‘hard-core academic Marxist…’
Remember, we had a president who admitted to “smoking pot” but boldly and sincerely claimed “I did not inhale.” I would further add that the shock troops of Lenin, Mao the Viet Cong and Castro were likely not “hard-core academic Marxists” and yet they believed, they placed HOPE in the concept of communism, that it would eliminate inequality, sexism, racism, or whatever problems they were facing.
Lenin himself “campaigned” on the hope of PEACE! BREAD! LAND! Barrack Obama’s campaign is focused on PEACE! (ending the iraq war and raising peace time spending to the current war level) HEALTHCARE! (that would raise everyone’s cost of living and cost some there livings) HOPE! (a vague hope that seems solidly grounded in “change”).
Interestingly, the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia promising change to a citizenry that was tired of Czarist corruption. What they brought was one of the most abusive, abrasive and intrusive regime of the 2oth century.
So basically, Barack is NOT a socialist, he is a Communist speaking in the language of “liberal democracy and socialism” He hides his radical views in charismatic speech, catchy graphics and clever phrases. He will press for greater social spending and taxing than any president in history.
For those who think Communism is dead, consider this: over a billion people live in an openly communist country, China. The progressive income tax, universal health care, massive social spending (RE: Medicare, welfare, social security, etc) as all tenets of progressive socialism/communism, and are used as tools to extract money from private individuals and companies and give it to the government to trap the downtrodden.
I conclude with the words of a self proclaimed American Socialist:
