The looming Obamahitler dictatorship: Deja vu all over again
The "Obama is a Liberal Fascist Hitler" meme has been floating around since at least February, if not before. And now that the election's over and voters can't punish Republicans for spouting this kind of nonsense, it's getting a fresh life.
F'r instance, there's the Georgia Republican congressman who foresees young Brownshirts emerging from Obama's proposal for a national civilian-service corps:
A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
Sounds like someone's been reading too much Jonah Goldberg. Of course, Jonah's adherents at sites like Red State and Gateway Pundit think Rep. Broun is on the right track.
Meanwhile, there's also the Texas state education-board member who fears that Obama is secretly plotting with Muslim terrorists to destroy America:
State Board of Education member Cynthia Dunbar isn't backing down from her claim that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is plotting with terrorists to attack the U.S.
The Texas Freedom Network, a watchdog group that monitors the board, released a public statement on Monday asking Dunbar to retract the statement.
"I don't have anything in there that would be retractable," said Dunbar, R-Richmond. "Those are my personal opinions and I don't think the language is questionable."
In a column posted on the Christian Worldview Network Web site, Dunbar wrote that a terrorist attack on America during the first six months of an Obama administration "will be a planned effort by those with whom Obama truly sympathizes to take down the America that is threat to tyranny."
She also suggests Obama would seek to expand his power by declaring martial law throughout the country.
Though Dunbar is defiant, the article seems to have been removed from the CWN site. You can read the cached version here.
In a similar vein, we're also hearing that Obama is the antichrist from the religious-right wingnuts.
This really is a double case of deja vu. Not only did we hear this crap circulating around the right during the campaign this year, we heard almost exactly the same thing 16 years ago when Bill Clinton won the White House -- the supposed "looming dictatorship" and the nefarious conspiracies with dark forces.
That only produced eight years of "New World Order" conspiracy theories and their accompanying militias and right-wing domestic terrorists. You'll forgive us if we're not very eager to see what this go-round produces.
extremist's think in extremist terms. this totally ridiculous. the nuts get there last words in after being defeated.
One must question the need for a national security force.
Bring all our troops home and they can do what they are supposed to do.
Not that i think Obama is a bad guy but, it is one of the 10 things
authoritarians do a la Naomi Wolf.
Of course this guy is a nut.
Back a few years ago, Bush/Cheney were wanting postmen and UPS drivers to be civilian spies and tattletales for "unAmerican activities." I didn't like the idea then, don't like it now, and I hope Obama steers clear anything with the same scent about it. Sheesh, at least think of a better title than National Security Force.
On the other hand, with the looming economic crisis, I will not be surprised to see a clear need for things like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the full host of similar 1930s-era programs to keep people working and some money flowing.
to replace the "military" sounds pretty damn good to me.
I'd rather have Pissed off Patricia, with a schnazzy uniform on, carrying a Keltec Sub 2000 Foldable 40 calibre than some freakin' Blackwater A-hole!!
What about you guys?!

Projection indeed...
All part of the GOP's MO: Projection, deflection, and intimidation.
However, given that the current president has a grandfather who aided and financed the nazi war machine... the allegations and imagery, of a half black person being part of a nazi conspiracy, are double plus good in the projection and bullshit department.
I voted for Obama... I believe in the changes proposed, for the most part. But this is real... this first step towards becoming, well I shudder to think. stop being petty and trite, see reality. This is a quote from the Obama website. America Serves
"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.
------------Those are in fact Obama's plans. Clinton never said these things
There should be a rule that any politician or pundit who brands someone "Marxist," "socialist," or "fascist" needs to read a primer on what those terms mean. There's absolutely nothing Marxist about "proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him." I'm not saying a national security force is a good thing--it's not. It's just not Marxist.
A private militia answerable only to the President? You mean, like Blackwater?
And here we are again, with conservative wingnuts pushing this 'scary menace will take over the country' horses--t. They're gonna come and make you be liberal, green, or gay. They're gonna take over your state, your city, your neighborhood.
Can't be done. Can't happen. It's just that simple.
No one's going to fight? Protest? Object? (Least of all, given the number of uber-American nutjobs we have in Congress, like Broun, Tancredo, Goode, and Bachmann - I'd expect someone to at least put up their fists.)
between Marxism, Socialism and Fascism if it were lovingly explained to them.
The first thing out of their mouths is "Well, Hitler was a Socialist." No ass hat that's what he called himself.
I can call myself a leggy super model all I want. But until I bust up over 5'2", I won't even to begin to fulfill the definition of what that is.
me-oww!
National socialism (nazi) is not the same thing as proletarian socialism (what is implemented in most of Western Europe).
For example, a catholic priest is not the same as a satanic priest. Both are priests... but their contexts are quite different: Satanic priests don't molest little kids for the most part.
Nice shot.
Will you bee here all week?
me-oww!
Where do you think the word "Nazi" came from? It stood for National Socialist German Workers Party from the German: Nationalsozialismus----damn you're stupid.
[Damn you are RUDE. Bye bye-Sitemonitor]
Reread, troll.
Nazis can call themselves 'Socialist' until the cows come home, peabrain. People can say The Chimp was our greatest Pres, or talks gooder than Obama, asshole.
Doesn't. Make. It. So.
me-oww!
obama is talking about a national peace corp type group
they wont be armed
for example...look what happened in katrina, while waiting for the army to be deployed
under obama's plan, this would be handled by a civillian team
Every time I heard the term socialist or Marxist throw around, I usually request the utterer to give me a brief overview of the tenets of the communist manifesto, or a recap of the major points from Das Kapital. I am usually met with blank stares.
Oooooga Booooga!
Man, I'm terrified.

Why didn't John McCain warn us that Barack Obama is a fascist socialist markists terrorist? Oh wait... he did and no one believed him. Continue marginalizing yourself wingnuts, it will only make 2012 that much easier.
This guy is way behind the times.
Kennedy established this corp of brown shirts years ago.
He called it the Peace Corps, and oddly enough a doofus congresscritter called it then exactly what this doofus is calling it now.

dont have to be nice...the man apparently is too mentally incompetent to hold high office
i called...and trust me...i wasnt nice
Just wait, some "Timothy McVeigh" like sub-culture "patroit" will buy into this hateful, anarchist bullshit and will try to take Obama out to save the Nation. This is scary.
"Anarchist"? Hardly.
Yeah right...I'm sure in your world it's quite alright to baselessly accuse a Democratically elected President of being a Nazi dictator before he's made a single act as President.
"Hateful, anarchist bullshit." Explain.
You're kidding, lying or lobotomized. Learn to read...and comprehend.
Aren't you confusing Anarchism with Fascism, and there's no need to get personal. I'm having my lobotomy stitches out tomorrow.
...Obama(because you're unhappy from the results of a fair election...Yeah, that is what this is really about) is also an attack on the recently spoken will of the people....anarchy.
You're saying Anarchy is an attack on the will of the people?
I'm unhappy about the election, I can't believe 58 million people voted for McCain.
Anarchism has nothing to do the violent overthrowing of an existing governing party. The central tenet of anarchism is the idea of a least intrusive form of self-governance. I think that you are confusing anarchism with revolution or coup-d'etat.
"Secular humanism -- a fearless, realistic world view replete with doubt and scepticism that attempts to attain an unachievable state of equilibrium between and among the human qualities of reason, intuition, imagination, memory, ethics and common sense.
This is nothing new; equating Democrats and liberals to Nazis has been one of the standard right wing tactics for a long time. Santorum compared the Democrats to Nazis on the Senate floor. It's a clessic case of projection.
How these fascist/dictatorial fantasies are always hovering near the surface with these wingnuts. I don't think "projection" is a strong enough description.
Well this is starting to get old. As I said earlier today on another site, these people need to get hit with a clue bat.

So he's now NOT in favour of a Unitary Executive?
Well he wouldn't want the executive to be bisectual would he?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
It does sound a little bit crazy....now try to figure out why.
I've lived in Atlanta for the last 13 years and the backwards nature of Georgia politics continues to amaze me. We elect and re-elect people like Broun without any thought for reasoned discourse, civil or otherwise. It's depressing.
Astonishing! The Neo-Cons, under BushCo, damn near destroy our Constitution, the country, the military, the banking system, the rule of Law, and then they fear an extremely popular well educated young man who has his heart and head based in reality!
The Republican Fascist are international war criminals and they spew their poison on the rest of us. I say enough these Repukes need to be sent to detention hall so they can get back to the real world and learn the history of America.
President Elect Barack Obama presents a chance for the common folk to get back to a democracy of, for and by the people!
Ban Stupidity! Outlaw the GOP!
So let me get this straight Obama is a Nazi. Those same Nazis who created a quasi-universal health care system, labour unions, took the hardest hit economy by the Great Depression in the Western World and turned it into one of the strongest in less than 6 years, those same Nazis who took an industrial system which France had spent more than a decade trying to destroy and made it capable of challenging the entire Western World. If this is the accusation being leveled at Obama I have no problem calling him a nazi. If they are accusing him of being a racist who advocates a new Shoah then I have even less respect for the right than I already did.
I am sure most of you understand this but my take on this type of rhetoric is that is has been propped up by our government. Nazis were the bad guy so all Germans were bad. Japan was bad so all of Japanese was bad. Communists were the bad guys so they were exactly the same as Nazis. Fascism, Communism, Nazism, Socialism, all bad, all the same. Al Qaeda are the bad guys so all Muslims are the bad guys. Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan all the same. During the big "Red Scare" I doubt that more than 25% of people could tell you why. I doubt now that more than 25% of people can tell you what the definition of Nazism, Fascism, Communism, or Socialism more than they are bad and we are good.
This from a party that has shredded the Constitution, enabled the Bush administration to spy on all of us, and deployed Christian mercenaries on US soil (Blackwater in New Orleans)? Too funny.
Look, these right wing zealots are out of power, and should be marginalized-I say keep them out of power, but encourage them to voice their insane beliefs, becuse it will further discredit them, and will lead to another Democratic win in 2012. Right wingers are too ignorant to realise that their views are fascist- A bit of projection on their part?
My therapist will be proud to know that all I can do is laugh. The smear merchants have painted themselves into an irrelevant corner, and the US mainstream now recognizes it.
Of course, it only takes a few nutcases to stir up problems. I think the obama administration realizes that security for potus and family will be job #1 for the foreseeable future.
Right wingers often call Obama a Socialist, a Marxist , a Communist and a fascist- often in the same sentense.
Do you ever get the feeling if a right wing republican were asked to describe in detail the definition of socialism. communism and fascism, they would be clueless?
I debated with one clueless right winger, who refered to Hitler as a 'communist'. Umm, didn't Hitler, who was a fascist, dispise communism?
Last time I checked, communism and fascism were as about as far apart two ideologies could be...
they're trying to taint the obama administration before they even get started. BUSH has been the authoritarian ruler. this is known and coming out more and more. the extremists are being exposed. to me they're trying to mix obama with their own negative identity. it's ridiculous and only people that hate
people NOT like them will listen to this nonsense.
I know many on the left want these right wing imbiciles to quiet down..but let the righties call Obama a fascist, let them voice their racist venom, let them demand everyone worship jesus, let them voice hatred form Immigrants...
They will be doing our work for us in making sure the radical right wing scum stay OUT of power in washington-because the country and world will see the right wingers for what they are- bigoted hate merchants...
The right wing will hang themselves with their own words of hate...
...to actually talk to someone who thought Obama was the Antichrist. I was at a doctor's office, and the discussion got around to politics. After the doctor left the room, her nurse looked around like she was just about tell a racist joke, then said sotto voce that she thought Obama was the Antichrist and we'll all be dead within a year. I thought she was joking. I mean, I know if I truly thought I'd be dead within a year, I wouldn't be so compacent as to be yakking about it at my place of business. Yet she was serious. I didn't even know what to say except "No, I don't think he's the Antichrist, not even a little bit. You'll just have to wait and see." "We only have a year."
Yeesh.
Any adult who really believes Obama is the anti-christ clearly has psychiatric problems.......
Obama has only been the PE for 7 days and already the right wing fringe is attempting to label him with the same terms that both McCain/Palin and HRC tried-and failed-to make stick. Never fear, the names and the connections to both Hitler and of course the biggie that Obama is in fact the *antichrist* will continue as those whose contact with reality is somewhat tenuous and who depend on their worldview reinforcement from their chosen leaders Limbaugh, Hannity and billo the clown will continue to flog that worldview and desire for 15 min of fame to the always credulous MSM who believes everything that comes from the mouths of the self proclaimed republician spokespersons
On this 90th anniversary of the end of WW I , it's important to realize that even a tool like Rep. Broun has a right to his opinion and that the burden is on us to shine a light on his misinformation and expose it for the lie that it is .
David Neiwert & John Amato:
I know you're trying to make a point with the photoshop illustration of Obama with a Nazi flag, but let's not let give the other side any ammunition they can use. I understand your point, but it's still as offensive as hell to many people, myself included. I suggest that if it was found on a right wing site, please put a disclaimer on it and label it as such. Thanks!

No, I made the photoshop back in February for Orcinus.
I just wanted to make sure that satire stays at least slightly ahead of the American right. Not sure that it's far enough, unfortunately.
Godwin's Law strikes again, I see.
Of course, these are the same sort of people that likely support vigilante bands watching the border with Mexico, but what else can you expect from the masters of blind hypocrisy.
The Republicans are trying their damnedest to become a regional fringe party if they keep this up.
Just look at who is making these outrageous claims. Ms. Dunbar is a graduate of Regent University, sound familiar. It is Pat Robertson's school. And she lives in Texas. Enough said. Paul Broun, I am ashamed to say, is the person who represents my district in Georgia. That's why I laughed when people actually thought Obama had a chance to win Georgia, really! Broun's campaign contained only that he was a good family man, a Christian, and pro-life. This man has been in congress for 2 years and could not name one thing he has done in those 2 years legislatively, except to introduce a bill to remove the comma from the phrase "One Nation, Under God". And yet these yahoos where I live re-elected him to a new term. Chris Hedges is right when he wrote on Common Dreams about America the Illiterate. Good luck with the South ever coming around to join the rest of the country and move in the reality-based world.
Really. First there was Lynn Westmoreland who we have to thank for: (a) calling Barack and Michelle Obama *uppity* and (b) introducing legislation to put the ten commandments in the House and the Senate but who struggled to name three of those commandments when asked by my personal hero, Stephen Colbert. Then there is Saxby-Chambliss (Mr. I-can-find-a-way-to-slime-a-decorated-war-hero-so-I-can-steal-his-Senate-seat). Now we have this picture of abnormalcy, Broun, likening Obama to a Marxist-Nazi. A round of Thorazine for everyone!!
Check here http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.com/ for tons of comment on Obama the antichrist, Obama hitler etc.
In a speech given this past summer, President-elect Barack Obama said, "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." (Read full story here).
Where have we heard this before? It was Adolph Hitler, writing about the creation of the Gestapo, who said: "An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation..We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."
Who created the bureaucracy known as 'The Department of Homeland Security' when the phrase 'homeland' does not appear in any of our key documents, the pledge of allegiance, or our most-beloved patriotic songs?
Hint: It wasn't Obama.
starts and ends with the Bush Regime.
I think 'Homeland' is a disgraceful epithet for our country. It smacks of brutality and injustice. And Facsists and Nazis, comparisons earned by the Neocon faction which overthrew our gov't in 2000.
bluzshark, that fucking catholic site you pimped in your post can fuck off and all with your 'Obama sounds like Adolf to me' bullshit.
Remember, Catholics, under Pope Pius XII were big Nazi collaborators. So you pope lovers need to quit pointing the finger elsewhere. Through your fault, your most grievous fault, Hitler was allowed to kill Jews, especially in Italy.
Pointing the finger at Obama, based on some bullshit extrapolation is beyond the pale. And bearing false witness, which is a mortal sin.
me-oww!
Not familiar with Godwin's Law and its corollaries, are you?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
This jerkoff acually believes this crap and regurgitates it. Like it's real. Like it's not some right wing lunatic talking point.
LOL. Oh man, I can hear this clowns head exploding from here.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
... will be what it will be. Meanwhile speculation abounds.
If we see a cvilian brigade or militia in said configuration then we should begin to ask some very serious questions. Until then we should be patient.
he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
Um,..you mean like Bush and Blackwater? BushCo has been employing more paid mercenaries than U.S. troops in Iraq for almost 6 years now and the guy is worried about Obama?
Rove 101: Accuse the other side of what you've been doing for ages and make their case against you seem like sour grapes.
GTFOH!
This is more evidence that right wingers are hypocritical douche bags. Where have those f___tards been for the past eight years, toe tapping in a airport restroom? Where were they all the times George Bush, Dick Cheney, and John Yoo were shredding the US Constitution? Those neocon bobble heads were the ones who parroted the Bush Administrations 911 scare tactics anytime questions were raised about their Unitary Executive Theory power grab. They were the ones who defended torture, and turning America into a police state. Right wingers were the ones questioning peoples patriotism if they didn't wear a flag pin, or if they didn't support their braindead puppet president George Bush. Karl Rove's stated goal of a permanent one party government. If those ass clowns had any shame or common sense they would keep their fear mongering mouths shut.
Give Barack Obama a chance to repair the damage that the Bush Administration did to America. Unlike the neocons, if our leaders do something unconstitutional we progressives stand up and make our support for democracy and the Constitution heard.
I wish I knew a wingnut really bad. I would bet my life savings that Obama won't create a fascist or marxist paramilitary force (i know, i'm crazy right?) I want that easy money! time to put your money where your mouth is repugs!
I would love to seem them actually defend this shit. I want clear cut examples and examples from Nazi rule that it's being compared to.
It's easy to scream "socialist!" "marxist!" "fascism!"
but uh...when called to actually give examples, most of these morons don't know what they are talking about.
Reslugs are just POOR LOSERS and prove daily that they are really sick f--ks.
It was George W. Bush who publicly said he wished he were a Dictator as things would be easier for him as he ruled. Now what the GOP is worried about is that Obama/Biden will succeed and have another 4 years with a new Democrat waiting in the wings. Fear makes people do strange things and the GOP is scared. Look all they have now is Sarah Palin so that finishes the Party right there. Republicans would do well to stop looking at themselves and start looking at what they can do for America. McCain wanted the White House for personal reasons only, Sarah just wanted to get free money and travel.
It would be just fine with me if Obama secretly plotted with Muslim terrorists to destroy the Texas State Education Board. Those asshats are destroying public education across the country owing to their overwhelming market influence on textbook publishers.
This is yet another example of Republican strategies. They keep accusing the other side of what they themselves do. Case in point: 'The Democrats are gonna steal the election!' WTF??
And here we have another...Bush and his cronies have paved the way for army forces to act within US borders, softened the legality of declaring martial law, hired so-called 'security contractors' (wearing black shirts, ahem) to do their bidding, et al. And now people on the right are saying *Obama* is going to declare martial law?
Is this not the Big Lie over again?
The wingnuts love to call others fascist, e.g. Islamofascist, FemiNazi, etc. The problem is the Cheney/Bush regime are the fascists. My American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language has the definition of fascism: "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership together with a belligerent nationalism."
The Cheney/Bush regime brought us Blackwater, warrantless wiretapping, oil interests writing energy policy, industry de-regulation, invasion of Iraq who was no threat to us, etc.
We have been living under a fascist regime, now the fascists are calling Obama fascist. Give me a break!
BTW, is Broun going to freak out when he realizes that after noon on Jan. 20, all the military will 'answer to him'?
We don't live in a fascist state.
It wasn't so under Reagan, Clinton, HW, W, and won't likely be under Obama. (I'm optimistic about our future in general, though concerned about specifics.)
Yeah Obama and his own family definitely have the blond hair and the blue eyes of the ubermensch.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
betchya somebody is going to spin the "military is loyal to support and defend the constitution, not some faux commander in chief" which is the crap Tim McVeigh consumed prior to his attack.
those fringe militias from the clinton years will raise their head again, to become propaganda tools serving as examples to fearmongers..
we just got to use the same tools the southern poverty center uses, and shut them. down
If only we did have a "radical" socialist for a president. Then we'd be sure of getting society-wide health care and a vastly improved and consistent education system.
But why do Americans always act like fascism and communism are virtually the same thing? Why do they so often equate Hitler and Mao, or Hitler and Trotsky, or Hitler and Allende, or Hitler and Castro? It's one of those strange "only in America" things and it's common to both the right wing and the rest of the country.
We've already had one for almost 8 years. Blackwater anyone? H E L L O
They've been using the lie in Iraq as a training ground.
The two things that have made me a little upset about Barack since the election are:
1) Saying that night that there will still be "sacrifice" needed by Americans in the coming years.
2) Hiring Rahm Emmanuel White House gatekeeper,er,Chief of Staff.
1.) Uhm, yeah, if you haven't been paying attention we're about to fall of a cliff into a Depression or hopefully just a deepish Recession. Obama is a human being, just like you and me. He's kick-ass, but he's still mortal, he's going to make mistakes, but telling us honestly what we're facing is not a mistake. We'll be more calm and rational facing the coming dark days because he forewarned us.
2.) I'd hire farking Asmodeus, Demon Prince of Bureaucracy and the Game, if he was available to be hired as the White House gatekeeper. Rahmbo is not going to be setting policy, he is going to be guarding the line. Plus, Obama and Rahm are personal friends, and it's hard to find real trust anywhere these days, and to be able to put a person you trust into this specific position is good. Rahm will understand why Obama put him there and will understand that he cannot violate that trust. Obama is no dumb cookie.
Fascists kill Marxists, but both words scare the GOP base.
far left loon >.<
He's worried that Obama will create a Marxists or Fascist dictatorship. HA! Yeah, it's really Either Or with Obama. Those two systems are so close he could really go either way.
Hahahahahahaha - I just imagine all the millions of dead Russian soldiers buried in the mud along the Eastern Front slapping their foreheads in unison when those words were uttered.
Shouldn't the journalist taking notes point out that Marxist is diametrically opposed to Fascism?
It's sort of like saying he's going to be a Black Panther White Supremicist.
Yes, he should have.
"In a similar vein, we're also hearing that Obama is the antichrist from the religious-right wingnuts."
When I was in the 7th grade, I was dating a girl whose family was Pentecostal. The elections were coming up, and her family was scared sh*tless that Ronald Reagan would be elected. Why? Six letters in each of his names: Ronald Wilson Reagan. I kid you not.
So the idea that the Great Saint of the Republican party would be considered the Anti-Christ, and the reaction of the Republican Party, especially the fundies, makes me chuckle. A lot.
...and the first people that will be rounded are Republicans from Georgia.
I’ve had enough of people referring to such Western European countries as England, France, Sweden, etc., as socialist. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Webster defines socialism as:
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
2 b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism
None of these can be ascribed to the governments of Western European countries. Most of those are governed with varying versions of the welfare state – nationalized medicine, in some cases transportation, energy production and the like. There are billionaires in all of them.
We already have socialist programs in the U.S. First, ask any recipient of Social Security if he or she is willing to see the program phased out. Next, isn't Amtrak owned by the government? As for “socialized medicine,” in this country it goes by the names of Medicare and Medicaid.
The historic election is over now and what Americans need most is to rally around the new President to refix the economy and get America on track again to lead the free world and bring fredom to many enslaved nations of the world.

I got an email today from my sister, a stoner who works in a very republican doctors office. It linked from AOL (don't get me started on AOL) about this story.
I wrote a 5 page reply about how stupid she was to send this shit to me, all my other sisters, her mom, and her doctors. And I made sure to reply to all.
My favorite exerpts of what I wrote:
"You're crying because you're scared the Second Amendment will be reduced. Funny, the only other emails I ever get from you are pro-torture and pro-killing the shit out of brown terrorists. So, let me ask you, you're still scared of losing an amendment? Where were you the past 8 years?
Oh, that's right, I'm just an idiot liberal Democrat. You're right.
Silly me forgot there were THREE Amendments that this current administration ruined. (Included details from the DOJ, Supreme Court, and FBI about how 4th, 6th, and 8th Amendments were violated, cited, and quoted)"
Response? My mom called me and told me I was stupid, and she had to go watch Bill O'Reilly since he was THE ONLY PERSON THAT STILL TELLS IT LIKE IT IS.
It's sad that in Utah I'm more liberal and less stupid than my family in New York who hates blacks and jews and gays more than even the Mormons do...

All this Maxist/Hilter BS is their fear talking. They can pretend Obama is the worst human in the world, it doesn't change the fact that Obama won the election by a wide margin and the people have chosen him to be our next president. The truth always hurts.
