A Marxist, c'mon. Obama is the same thing as Bush, a Fascist. Oh, btw, my ideology is Left, I'm just not a liberal, progressive, democrat, socialist or a communist. Furthermore, I hold NO allegiance to any specific political party.

I'm sick of stupid name calling as well. I just know Obama isn't what America needs in 2012, regardless of what people label him.

Look at Mussolini.
Was he a socialist?
Was he a fascist?

Obama is modeling his agenda on that of Mussolini.

I wonder how many people who don't like that name for Obama have looked at the people he surrounded himself with. He said that was the way to determine things like this and he has surrounded himself with far left advisors.

Actually...YES, I have, along with many other books. But you see, progressives as a rule have terrible reading comprehension. LOLOL Yeah, I have probably read many more books that you never have. So what? I have read and understand the Quran. Have you? I have over 20 different variations of the Bible and 4 of the Quran and even have 2 sets of the Tora and many other books. Now what? Want a race or something? Do you feel superior now? It was a dumb question you asked.

Well really... he's just a hack. But those who unwittingly support him without fail are socialists.

Never heard of it.

So what's the difference between Marxism and Socialism. You throw out the word progressive, do you believe progressives are Marxists or Socialists?

The only label I ascribe to Obama anymore is "bad for America".
