Lunch Break - the socialists love him so. and Across the Universe.
Hey kids - plenty of Western democracies elect socialists and then throw them out. Why should we be any different?
The facts here are overwhelming that BHO was committed to the "New" Party and the DSA platforms until relatively recently. There is no dispute about this yet. The pod line of defense is that calling the Dem a socialist is an old "canard". They have a point. The Right has called every Dem a socialist for so long it is hard to take it seriously. In this case, though, the accusation carries some weight. You have to go back to Henry Wallace to find someone this close to the Presidency and so close to a loopy Left agenda at the same time. (though Wallace had a remarkable turn around after Stalin died, and the truth was revealed about the Soviet state under Stalin. Wallace left behind the loopy Left and returned to a muscular "Truman" liberalism.)
I am not much afraid of old line socialists - like Bernie Sanders. My fear is that Ayres and Obama and crew are not merely socialists - they are radical control freaks :the Left's version of Cheney and his cabal. Hence the FISA flip flop.
But right now, I am more interested in the Obama campaigns lies and spin on this than I am afraid of a Socialist president. Finally, Obama's ideology is Obama.
and a friend's mom passed yesterday and this song came to mind when I heard.
