Socialism- any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property.
b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state.
Maybe so but the current resident of the White House promised to end it all. Did he? Nope, expanded it. Again, just because something has been done before doesn't make it right.
How funny is that" modest" yet if Bush was saying that the same people would be sooooo upset. Really doesn't make sense.
The "same people" were saying that and are upset now. Don't you remember? There still are a lot of liberals[not me] that are just as upset with Obama as they were with Bush. You dont hear them as much, but they are still here.
I switched over a long time ago when Republicans used to call Moderate/liberals/Democrats unpatriotic if we questioned the goverment on issues like this.
We were told by flag waving Americans that were had nothing to worry about and that we should just "love America, or Leave it". Election after election, Republicans beat "Liberals" over the head with accusations of being unpatriotic.
Liberals/Moderate/Democrats had to relinquish on harsh opposition to "All things Governmental" to be able to compete in elections.
After 9/11 most Americans said... lets do what we have to. But some lawmakers went way to far. That's why Congress/Justice Department/Supreme Court had real procecutions of Bush officials on matters of Civil and Politcal Liberties.
So If you would like to blame today's civil liberty questions on Liberals...we deserve some of the scrutny...but you need to squeeze in with us in fornt of the mirrow as well.
I don't think anyone is trying to place the original blame on liberals and you are right, there are many liberals that are upset with Obama here.
Obama is more of a believer in big government than he is of liberal ideas. Now in a large percentage of issues big government usually coincides with the liberal ideas but not always.
The government has simply become too big and intrusive. It won't do some of what it is supposed to do but wants to get it's finger's into all sorts of things it has no business being in.

It gives the government (leaders) power and control. Those two things are important to removing all obstacles.
Now?
this is nothing new.... our lives are no more or less different.
you guys are just paranoid and negative.
no matter what the president does you're going to complain
This is nothing new they have been doing this since technology has been able to do it. Why all the outrage towards Obama at the same times from Republicans oh because they do not want to do anything to help the country move forward they would rather trump up these BS scandals that are costing us taxpayers 100 of millions
While you would ignore them and sacrifice the soul of this Nation.
That does not excuse further and ever deepening abuses.
Then for the love of all that is good, if you want anything to improve, stop voting for Democrats and Republicans!
