This is today's GOP. Just oblivious and flinging poo.
Right, because the people in City-Data politics are representative of the population as a whole. Just like the dummies who say on video they vote for Obama for the free phones, by your standards,

Obama is clearly a Marxist, a communist to the core. While the U.S. is not Communist at this point, nor is what Obama advocates truly Communist positions, he has to water down his ultimate goals to that of a Socialist position.

Communism


b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

(ie: Spread the Wealth Around is a baby step in this direction)


a : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

(Communism is revolutionary Marxian Socialism. Socialism is Marxism-lite, while Communism is full-blown Marxism.)

b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of product

(Government control of industry is a baby-step in the direction of state-control of industries. After all, it is government-owned.)

c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably

(Eventually, the goal is an "Equal society". Hence, Obama's call for redistribution.)


Socialism

any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

(This is exactly for what Obama advocates: distribution of goods (money), government ownership of means of production: autos & healthcare)

a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

(again, control of healthcare and the automobile industry by the state)

: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

(What do you know, Socialism is a transition between Capitalism to Communism. While not everything is yet "equal" under Communism, some things are still unequal.)

Under definitions, Obama is clearly a Communist guiding us under Socialism.

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.

In his own words:

Obama In 1998: "I Actually Believe In Redistribution" - YouTube

"Spread the Wealth Around"

'Joe the Plumber' Becomes Focus of Debate - YouTube

"New Vision of America Shared"

Obama - New vision of America in which prosperity is shared -8/12/12 - YouTube




Obama supports government takeover of industries, something communist countries do.


Consider the GM and Chrysler takeovers:

Dr. Ron Paul on Fox Business on Obama's Takeover of GM 03-31-09 - YouTube






Obama uses the radical environmentalist agenda to support the destruction of private enterprise. Consider his previous calls for bankrupting the coal industry, as well as his support for Cap & Trade, a policy that would put caps on emissions from industry. Such a policy would force companies to close, which would result in a lot of people being out of work. This is Marxism.



Bankrupt the coal industry & support of cap and trade


Obama's Promise the Bankrupt the Coal Industry - YouTube




Obama supported Marxism as it relates to Healthcare through the promotion of "Obama Care". That's government control.

Obama's Choice to run medicare: For redistribution

Donald Berwick, Obama candidate for Medicare and Medicaid chief shows his Marxism - YouTube

Actual plan: Marxist in nature. Control through mandates.

Obama's Health Plan In 4 Minutes - YouTube

Why Marxism in healthcare doesn't work. Seen from Britain

SEE AMERICA'S FUTURE Under Obama Marxism :: Britons Now Living It Say IT DOESN'T WORK !! Just FYI - YouTube




Also consider Obama's Communist background and ties:

"THE UNVETTED" presented by America's Survival, Inc & AB INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS - YouTube

Ties to communist Frank Marshall Davis, whom he claims is his mentor.

Obama's Mentor: Frank Marshall Davis

Ties to Marxist terrorist, Bill Ayers

Obama's Ties to Terrorist Bill Ayers - YouTube

Obama's Marxist Upbringing

Why did the Liberal Media ignore Obama's Marxist upbringing? - YouTube

Obama Student of Marxist Professors: His own words

Obama - student of Marxist professors - his own words - YouTube



Obama believes that if you're successful, "you didn't build that". This is rejection of the individual in favor of the collective, a Marxist viewpoint.

Obama: If You've Got A Business, You Didn't Build That - YouTube




Other Information with lots of links to support that Obama is a Communist
Obama Communist, Marxist, Socialist, Gay, Islamic, Muslim, Lies


Not only is Obama and the fact that he is a Communist a huge problem for this country. He also is not likely truthful with the American public.

Obama's Muslim Faith

Obama Admits He Is A Muslim - YouTube


Obama: "My Muslim Faith" - YouTube



Obama's home country: Kenya

Michelle Obama Admits Barack Hussein Obama's Home Country is Kenya - YouTube


Michelle Obama - Barack Is A Kenyan - YouTube


Obama ADMITS Born in Kenya!!! - YouTube


Obama Said He Was Born in Kenya Up Until 2007! - YouTube


Obama says he's not American and born in Kenya (mirror) - YouTube

Just so you know, if indeed he was born in Kenya, he is not eligible to be president and is therefore a usurper.



Obama supports some very vile acts.

Support for "Infanticide"

Obama & Live Birth Abortion / Induced Labor Abortions / Infanticide Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video - YouTube

"If they make a mistake, I don't want them "punished" with a baby"

Barack Obama on Abortion in his own words - YouTube

Her body, not the developing child's being destroyed?

Pro-Life Kid Asks Obama About Abortion - YouTube


Think about it, do you really support such an individual who is:

-Communist
-Kenyan-Born
-possibly Muslim
-pro-infanticide

Obama is, of course, a commie. It is too bad that the libs simply ignore all of the statements he has made which support this contention without question.

Could you please explain what acts of governing Obama has done that are communist?

Anyone who thinks that Obama (or anyone else) is a Communist because they believe in the progressive income tax system; the right of government to regulate; the right of government to tax and spend for specific social goals, etc., needs to go back to school.

By their definition of "communist" the founding fathers were communists.

By the reasoning of the likes of Sound of Music and Hawkeye, Franklin Roosevelt was a commie. Yet, the USA somehow has retained a decidedly capitalist economy. Indeed, Ike and Nixon (who proposed a guaranteed minimum income/reverse income tax, and who instituted price controls) were evidently both commies. Further, every country in Western Europe, the UK, and Canada are all communist states.

Roosevelt did as much as he could get away with at the time, these days were much farther down the road to serfdom...

"Can we get away with it???" That's always the first question they ask, the answer; "YES WE CAN!!!"

This thread with an endless number of vid clips on the OP ought to be closed.
Done in one.
