We are experiencing growing pains because the "moral values" of the new age we are entering into heavily conflicts with the values of the Christian age - that being the dark ages roughly through the late 20th century. This is more than just a small cultural revolution we are experiencing. This change is global and is completely transforming the way humanity views the world. The progressives may not be able to completely silence and rid themselves of the old guard without a dictatorship rising. Most democracies transform into dictatorships as it is, but when we have a nation that is willing to give up individual liberty in the name of progress, that is a sign that danger is ahead. Obama bears many qualities of a dictator but I don't believe America is quite ready yet, though it is getting close. There WILL be a dictator rise to power likely within the next 30-50 years and that dictator is going to bear many similarities to Obama. He will inspire all who listen to him speak and be able to rally the nation around him.

The media is helping Obama transform this nation to take away American's rights. That is a fact.
The sixties were the last time the communists were pushing for reform. Today we have a far left president who is a communist radical and hater of America because he sees it as a country that is controlled by white power. His church of black power of which Obama subcribed to for 20 years is his background. Obama has attacked capitalism by attacking the rich. And Obama describes the rich as Republicans which is a huge deception on the American people. Obama wants to destroy the Republican party at all costs because he wants dictorial rights and no opposition .

The republican party doesn't need Obama's help, they're self destructing themselves with your every post. Everyday, they chip away at their own block of stupidity, they don't need democrats to help them, however, when the R party is in the six foot deep hole, we'll come along and kick some sand on top of them. just to help out.

Plutocracy is what you have in communism as well. The worker owning the means of production isn't literal truth. The government owns the means of production. The ruling elite live in luxury just like corporate CEOs do. The people are exploited by the government just like they are by corporations. Society is run for the benefit of the state just as it is for the benefit of business.

One of the really big problems with liberals is too high an opinion of government. By casting business in the evil overlord role, they cast government in the champion of the people role. The government isn't out to save you. Corporations have the power because they buy politicians, that's true. So there's your proof that politicians are corrupt. How does taking the power out of the hands of corporations and giving it to government help? It just lets the politicians exercise control directly instead of manipulating regulations and taxes to let corporations do the dirty work and then taking the benefits as campaign contributions and job offers when they leave office.

Oh those horrible CEOs, we just need to get government to regulate them and then they'll be kept in line. Sure, they'll be kept in line. But so will you. It's like you learn nothing from Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez, Ho Chi Minh, Mao, Kim Jong-il, etc.

The solution to corporatism isn't socialism. It's free markets.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The government is a puppet of the very wealthy. If this is your defintion of communism, then yes, we are communist.
