They may not be "soviet", but they are communists.

Whatever you call it, the above IS obama's vision for America.
Sweden, France, the UK etc. are not even remotely "communist" by this definition. I've been to each of those countries, and in each of those countries, most property is privately owned, and most productive activity is run by private enterprise.
a) can see Russia from her house
b) has some half-assed degree in communications from the University of Idaho because she didn't want to roll up her sleeves
c) is white trash
d) looks more like she'd hand you a bottle of water when you're in a mortgage office in the suburbs waiting for your appointment
e) is effin' clueless about the workings of anything economically, socially, or politically complex
Sarah Palin is a disgrace. The mere fact that there is Social Security, Medicare, grace periods on student loans, and other governmental transfers means we already ARE a socialist economy, albeit a modified one.

She also sees no problem with grabbing a big share of oil-company revenues and sharing them with every Alaskan.
Socialism for us, capitalism for you -- that's how the right-wing mind works.
Sarah Palin is a socialist, just like every Republican. The greatest thing in politics these days is that even accepted dictionary definitions are subject to interpretation! Maybe Palin thinks Webster's has a liberal bias?

A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.

You do realize the U.S. fits these as well as those other contries you imagined.
Cradle to grave multigenerational welfare, cel phone plans for mothers of mulitple children by multiple daddies NONE of which living in the home, Foodstamps, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, universal education, worker's compensation disability pensions ......ad infinitem. All these and more are the haulmarks that compare favourably to those other countries you like to villify.
Now let's talk about your income taxation and it's distribution "for the good of the whole". State planning and controlling the economy, oh boy, I guess your TARP and Stimulous funding with a Car Czar doesn't fit in there somewhere eh?
Authoritarion government spending your money on things you wouldn't such as Solar companies that have since gone belly up with more failing as we write these missives. support for GM and an electric car no one is buying except your own government with YOUR money.
Financial institutions too big to fail so the collective gets to fund them to indemnify them from collapse, ooopsy, not looking good here are you?
Yep you're the lone shining beacon of a "free market" capitalistic economy by which all those others are coming up short. What a bunch of maroooons!
So being Ageist is ok in your world? Maybe it's time to make a black or Female joke since those groups are so much fun to make fun of and they don't grow old
My, my, we're touchy. Even Republicans in 2008 agreed that the Old Man White ticket would have gone exactly nowhere. Duh. What a moronic reply. How nice of you to assume I'm not a minority (I am) or a specific gender. Then again, I'm apparently talking to a Sarah Palin fan, in which case, I should use smaller words and crayon.

What a load of crap, and not even in the same galaxy.
It's a very accurate reflection on Fox news that they would have this half witted moron commenting on public policy. But just consider that she was on a complete and total azzhat's programme. Sean the goofball Hannity.
OK so 1.8 million people watch this idiot show. Whe should it matter one single iota what this lunatic fringe thinks???
It's completely irrelevant in terms of reality.
