ObserverNY: You're putting up a picture of Obama holding a New York Times best seller as proof that Obama is a communist? The author of said book who is a host on CNN, an Editor-at-Large of TIME Magazine, and a Washington Post columnist? You really are pretty funny if you seriously think that fools anyone but the most uneducated conspiracy freaks that walk among us.

Exactly! If Poopyhead pooped on the American flag they would be in denial about that, too.

Let's just say I would find it a lot more comforting if he had been spotted reading something like the Lincoln-Douglas debates or perhaps Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman.

For decades we engaged in a Cold War with the Soviets to put an end to Communism, a Marxist market system that discourages freedom in favor of the state. While America is not at the same point as the former Soviet Union or the republics of Eastern Europe, it is readily clear that the president wants us to move in that direction.

Do you really support Communism?

If not, what are you doing supporting a Communist?

Obama stands for an ideology that is blatantly unAmerican and against everything this country was founded on. Yet, you still support him. Why?

Consider the following:

Obama wants to redistribute the wealth. This basically means that he favors taking from the workers (haves) and giving to the have-nots (non-workers) through the force of the state. This is not charitable giving, something that we should all do. Rather, this is tyranny.
I am surprised that your troll thread is still up. You clearly lack the ability to understand what Communism is.

There are many like this article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/11/op...lose.html?_r=0

It's cute, though, that you have to lie and make things up to even fall short of what you are attempting. You don't even make an attempt to hide the fact that you're a bigot.

Hmmmm, I don't seem to recall President Poopyhead refuting the OWS folks who pooped on a police car, do you?

Please explain the difference between "Social Democracy" and "Socialism". It's exactly the same thing with a different title. I guarantee you that "Social Democracy" matches the definition of socialism.

This is really the money shot. You are so deluded that you think that living in a nation controlled by the wealthy in their own interests is living in a free society, and even as it gets worse you complain about Communism as if that's the problem.
Actually, I don't like the fact that the typical individual has less say because he is drowned out by the money that buys advertising, the politicians, and the like. However, as long as we allow people economic freedom, there is no way to get around this.

Both Obama and Romney have been bought and have strongly supported the interests of the rich in their previous government work, but you buy into Obama's empty class rhetoric just like the Obama sheeple you hate so much.
Of course they've been bought and paid for. Romney wasn't my choice by a long shot. That said, it doesn't mean that Obama is not a Marxist. He's clearly a Marxist.

Stop there, kid.

If you are going to make this thread you better know what you are talking about. You clearly don't.

One example: just because he is or was a casual friend of Bill Ayers doesn't make him a commy..do all your friends share your political views? Mine sure don't.

I do find it hard to understand how anyone that has more then a tiny little brain can vote for him, but many feel the same about me...So far, I can't think of one thing he has done that is positive, he doesn't have a clue, he has told so many lies, I think he believes them himself, but he isn't a commy in my view or examples you have given doesn't make him one.
Of course being for infanticide doesn't make him a communist. In the opening post, I added his support for infanticide as greater reason for him being a horrible president, not only the fact that he is a communist.

It would be one thing if Ayers was simply one person, but when you look at the whole, Obama was raised by Marxist parents. He attended school with Marxists, had Marxist mentors, and his policies and statements reflect that. When you look at everything, he shows himself for who he is, as well as his beliefs.

I'm 35 years old.

I've clearly posted the definition of Socialism and Communism.
I've outlined how his views and positions reflect that (which they do).
I've provided video of him supporting these positions in his own words.

Why the disconnect from you libs? I don't get it.

So he's clearly a Marxist who has been bought and paid for by capitalists.

Got it.

Sorry you don't know the difference between Social Democracy and Socialism, maybe attempt to educate yourself instead of making a fool of yourself on internet message boards?

edit: Wow, you're 35 years old? That's really sad. I pity you, I thought you were a teenager.
