I know I don't!


I think most that voted for Obama don't want socialism- but they don't understand that is what they were voting for when they voted for Obama! Obama voters also don't believe that socialism will ever happen! To late to change your vote now people!

Obama is all about socialism! He would love for us to have no choices.

Certainly not. I am not so sure about many on the left today though.

Oh heck, why not?
We may have reached the tipping point.
We might as well get line for our free stuff.

Americans have wanted socialism since the New Deal. It's not going away, sorry folks. By the dictionary definition of socialism, all US Republicans are socialists.

Apparently so.

President Obama was re-elected.

Welcome to the Socialist States of America - my comrades.

technically it is fascism, not socialism. Socialism is government ownership of the means of production. Fascism is gov't regulation thereof, sometimes to the point where private ownership becomes a legal fiction.

That is what we have. Let's get our terminology right.

Thanks to the Tea Party, people like me are happy as hell. Why? Because all these screams of "he's a socialist!" didn't stop Obama from winning.

So, the Tea Party have shown us that America is now ready for our message. I am coming out of the closet: I AM A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST

Time to be open and let the people decide. More and more people agree with us and this is now a left of center country.

We want taxes on the rich, an end to all these wars, social justice, gay rights, women's rights, and end to the war on drugs and a rebirth of the labor movement. We are here to stay and our numbers are growing. The right wing rage has only helped us grow.

Most of you clowns don't even understand what "Socialism" means in the first place.

It's no wonder the world thinks we're a bunch of overweight idiots.

Yes, but limited. People like social security. Social security is a socialist program. People like Medicare, its socialist.

Lots of things we have are socialist, the truth is we should restrict what they are, what they do, and make them as cost effective as is humanly possible.

But yeah, Americans like a little bit of socialism.
