I don't believe in censorship at all. I do believe however that if people don't want it shoved in their faces then they shouldn't be forced to look at it
That is a story from the Ulsterman report. All stories from this site come from competeley unnamed sources. In fact, the whole site is based on their claim they they have two insiders; one in the white house and one in wal street. I'll give then credence once they can name sources. Oh, and when they even identify themselves (and by that I mean the writers of the stories).

because they are far more worldly and educated, then say....someone who thinks that the Obama government is communist.

Communism is an idea of collectivism. That government owns and operates business and industry, breaks down the class system, and redistributes wealth. That is exactly what Obama wants to do.

I agree that communism is bad system of government.

As a person in business, a property owner, and a landlord I think capitalism - while not perfect or ideal - is a much better system. Free markets.

I am a liberal, though, because I believe in the absolute separation of church and state, the right of women in reproductive choice, the legitimacy of society to protect our environment from pollution, the civil rights of all minorities including LGBT folks, the right to marry the person you love even if they are your same-sex partner, and the right of employees to organize and for collective bargaining.

Hollywood is not an educated bunch. Most interviews with actors reveal them to not be too intelligent either. The thing is people have a picture in their mind of most times they hear these people speaking, which is always scripts, lines and words someone else wrote down for them. Anyone can be made to look great that way.

No it isn't. The government doesn't own business or industry here. It's not a one-party system. We still have classes, however the gap between them is too big, and most 1st world nations have some level of wealth redistribution. They are not communist.

Is Germany communist? They have more wealth redistribution and socialist policy than we do.

Creative? Hollywood people?

Since when does memorizing words and being told what to do by a director constitute being creative?

Being creative is taking a lump of clay and turning it into a beautiful vase.

Being creative is taking a blank canvas, a few little pots of paint, and turning it into a beautiful landscape.

Being creative is taking a bolt of fabric and turning it into a one-of-a-kind gown.

Standing in front of a camera is not being creative.

You appear to have no idea what the word communism even means, you're just parroting Rush Limbaugh and other talking heads. Please post a link where Obama has said he intends to confiscate land and the means of production and have the government redistribute them. If you can't do that, you will be shown to be ignorant about the very term and a liar.
