Check out this CNN article:
“Ask the card-carrying socialists: Is Obama one of them?”
That author is being cheeky. By his use of words, Regan didn’t support “free markets” or “capitalism”, the USSR was not “socialist” or “Communist”, and the Democrats don’t believe in practicing “democracy”.
Who wrote this – John Blake – a high school kid learning Civics vocabulary? LOL
When people in America say “Socialist” in this way, they’re describing policies that move toward a socialist society in the way Canadian, (pick a country) French or English Socialist or Liberal parties currently govern those countries. They aren’t accusing anyone or anything of being a socialist according to the socialist definition held by Marx or one of the current – we just haven’t done it right yet – hard socialist organizations that want all national border dissolved and replaced by a one-world workers’ democracy.
Hey, let’s ask hard-and-fast advocates or pure democracy if Obama is a democrat. Or let’s ask an anarchist if Obama supports Liberty. Let’s ask a child pornographer if Obama supports free speech. Let’s ask a fanatical fundamentalist Christian is Obama is ‘saved’. Let’s ask a pot-smoking chains-himself-to-trees-to-stop-green-energy-construction hippy if Obama supports the environment.
Get the picture, mister definition? One more hack attempt at making Obama critics look ignorant instead of facing their logic and math.
