He is a marxist. Do i need to go over this with you again:
1. His friends and mentors are marxists (Rev. Wright, Ayeres, Rashidi, et al)
2. His policies are marxist (Nationalizing industry after industry, massively punishing businesses and massive taxation, "spreading the wealth")
3. His own book said he was friends and allied with the "marxists" in college (Its in Dreams of my Father)
4. He sides with Marxists (Chavez, Ortega, Zelaya)
You want more???
1. Reverend Wright is not a Marxist - he is a Christian and one of Karl Marx most famous quotes are: "Religion is the opium the people." Ie, Marx was anti-religion. Wright is religious.
Ayers however, yes. You are correct. He considers himself a Marxist.
2. Obama hasn't nationalized "industry after industry". And even if he did, that is not something that necessarily could be considered Marxism. It depends. Ie, look at Europe during the medieval era. Many kings would "nationalize" the land from small counts and farmers, and tax them. It wasn't Marxism then. Rather, it was Feudalism.
3. So you're going by the old "guilt by association" here? Because I post on a board with conservatives and liberals, I then am... both?
4. Ortega is a Socialist, and have a strong tie to the Catholic Church. Hard to think such a man would be a Marxist. Chavez - not a Marxist. However a promoter of his homecooked version of socialism. Bolivarism.
Chavez has a tarnished democratic record.
But again, guilt by association? And what association?
I think critisism like this against Obama is total bullshit to be honest.
It's not legit. He's got a solid record in these areas.
Where Obama is flawed - and this is fcuking serious – is integrity issues.
He is still not gonna stand up for the internet users against all these big fat record companies.
That's a disgrace.
I think it's also a big fat warning sign that he may not be prepared to protect civil rights in other areas either.
What the fcuk happened to making the pics of those criminal militaries public anyway?
That was weak.
