The American Spectator : Obama Steals Mao's Slogan

Deborah D| 5.3.12 @ 6:24AM

I think they want this slogan out there because if Obama wins, they will believe they have a clear-cut mandate to do whatever they wish. They'll believe -- "hey, we were up front in our intentions -- it's not our fault the voters were too stupid to figure it out."

Ret. Marine| 5.3.12 @ 7:00AM

They may think they have a clear mandate to do whatever they wish, because of stupid voters, or voter fraud, or ballot stuffing, dead voters rising up for the occasion, funny isn't it they only come out for this occurance to vote demo-rats, straight party line for some of that "obama's stash" or what ever. Personally I think they are in for one hellofah surprise, if they win, or lose it won't matter at all. The two different surprises, one is an all out rebelion by the Patriots from their intended/preceived actions, steal the elections, again, and an all out rebelion from the race baiters for losing, not because of policies enacted during this regimes ( enslavement ) arogances, like I said, surprised by both counts. It is that serious. Damned if we do damned if we don't. How much worse can it really be? I'll let you know when all of the so called leaders are either in prison or hanging from a tree. That's just how serious it really is, but, to listen to them, one would think there's no way this senerio will EVER BE played out in our times, yeah really, tell that to the survivers of the 6000,000 who died in the last federal tryanny play. I'm just readying myself, family members and friends alike for the spark which will lite this fire, it coming, everyone feels it, knows it, and are past the "fed up with it" part to not notice. The real surprise is if this Country ever agains regains the foot hold upon individual liberties so many have perished for and to do it without a fight, has all come about because of choices of individuals our so called fellow sheeples have made their entire lives is going to be nearly impossible, simple fact of the matter is, this so called pResident of these United States and his fellow dead men/ladies walking ( spiritual sense of the words here) know damned well they are toast. It doesn't take a student of history to understand what is happening, intended or not, to read these TEA Leaves, but it will take the efforts of all Patriots to stop it in their tracks if we are to survive as the home of the free and brave, and that shining city upon the hills of this ugly world. I wish I had a better attitude about this entire affair, I have never in my long life seen this Nation so divided, in such a short time as it has occured, and by, of all things a so called healer, of course, that too is code for my way or the highway, from kenya. Never thought I would see the day the forefathers warnings would be so real and misunderstood or understood as the warning they intended. Good luck and God Bless. Semper FI.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:07AM

Excellent post.
But - I think you have too many zeros in the losses from the War of Northern Aggression. 630,000 is more accurate, not 6,000,000.

The question stands, unanswered...

And to any holding bitter remembrances of the "War of Northern Aggression" I say two things:

and

how would you have ended slavery or would you still have it in place?

Don't Tread On Me

Von Mises Jr| 5.3.12 @ 8:01AM

Little Alan, of course I am talking about intellect, would have slavery back for the 1% to pay for his dope. He is just too ignorant to not have learned from John Lennon "money for dope, money for rope."
What can you say about a collossal moron that plots his own destruction. Brooksie, the 99% in Mao's China were slaves to the 1%.

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 8:22AM

England banned slavery without a civil war. It could have happened here too. Also, the actual war was not over slavery, but over secession.

Ryan| 5.3.12 @ 8:33AM

Why did the Southern states want to secede? Sorry, it was right principle, wrong issue with them. Slavery was at the core of it for the rich planters for their cheap labor.

TLP| 5.3.12 @ 10:15AM

Can you say......ALL IN?

The Narccissist is getting Careless. And, by careless, I mean - Reckless. And, by reckless, I mean - Dangerous.

Everybody saw The Omen, right? Everybody saw The Boys From Brazil?

Now, combine the two, add in the Book of Revelation, and you've got "The One we've Been Waiting For". Only now, he's starting to get anxious.

Forward. What a beautiful display of Homage, to the Progressive Works of George Orwell, and his Prophetic use of the term: "NEW-SPEAK". Forward.

The choice of the word should come as no surprise. Like the "Bread Crumbs" left for Will Smith's character, in the Movie - I Robot - this is just one more CLUE. (As if we needed any more.)

These "Bread Crumbs" have been popping up since the Campaign. Joe the Plumber was one of the more obvious ones. Maxine Waters, being keenly aware of whom he was, let the next one out of the bag with her 'slip of the tongue' about what "This Democrat would do" if the Oil Companies refuse to bend their knee.

Her Excellency dropped a Breadcrumb on the Campaign Trail, when she announced that: "Barack will never let you "GO BACK" to your old lives. He will change the way we do things, moving "FORWARD". He will change our History. He will change our Traditions."

SIEG HEIL!

(Isn't she great?)

We got a Bread Crumb in the admission of the former SEIU Chief - Michael Lerner - who, upon seeing that his Movement was in good hands, resigned his Post, proclaiming that he was going FORWARD, to make the Slogan: Workers of the World Unite, in to a reality. The Arab Spring would soon begin, and the Flotillas would soon follow. They were on the ground in Tunisia, in Egypt, and in Libya. They are NOT on the ground in Syria. (Interesting)

FOREWARD.

We had his Press Liason - Anita Dunn - announcing that The greatest Mass Murderer of the 20th Century - Mao Tse Tung - was one of her two favorite sources of inspiration, whenever the grinds of every day life, would get her down.

The Muslims Economic Czar (I don't care what his name is.) proclaimed that: "We get it. The Free Market is a joke, and Mao was right when he said that Power flows from the Barrel of a Gun."

His FCC Chairman went all "Premature" in his pants, when he gushed about his ENVY of the way Hugo Chavez had stormed all the Radio and Television Stations, on his way to "Preserving his "Beautiful Revolution".

And, of course, who can forget the CLENCHED FIST of Marxist Revolution, so proudly displayed on the Protest Placards of the Union Street Gangs in Madison, and elsewhere, belonging to this Son of an Atheist Communist, and a Muslim Marxist?

Although the openness of this blatant change in Strategy, comes off as Brazen,we can see that this move FORWARD has already started, as The Boy from Indonesia, works tirelessly to drag us backward. Away from the Factories, and back in to the Fields. That's what Mao did. That's what Lenin did. That's what Stalin, Min, and Pol Pot did.

It didn't work, because it never works. Because it can't work. It's like putting the Square Peg in to the Round Hole. But their Egos will never let them be swayed by the FACTS, or by HISTORY, or by REALITY. They will have their way, the only way they can. The only way one ever gets the Square Peg in to an uncooperative Round Hole. They will use a Hammer. And, when that doesn't work? They'll get a BIGGER HAMMER, and they'll hit it HARDER. Until the Peg, inevitably, shatters in to pieces.

Just as it always has.

tlp. unfortunately for every person who sees what you see there are ten who see nothing. i also think that some of the ten agree with the communists. there are difficult times ahead because more than 50% of americans are in favor of some degree of socialism.

Robert Pinkerton| 5.3.12 @ 11:26AM

Slavery is anything but cheap labor: First, a slave must be bought, in most cases; and they cost dearly. Then the slave must be fed, clothed, provided with the tools of his/her intended usage, medicated when hecessary, and all of this costs money; moreover, these costs persist whether or not the slave is well or ill, productive or not. The slave must be guarded against tendency to escape; and when the slave dies, the cadaver must be disposed of: More cost.

If the abolitionists had not been so fanatical, at least in my humble opinion, economics would have abolished slavery without war. Add international pressure on a pariah-state, even the Confederate government would not have been able to preserve slavery past the 1880s.

Too Late To Impeach| 5.3.12 @ 5:50PM

On the other hand...

For those who were enslaved, it was probably nice to know that those who could effect change weren't satisfied to just sit and wait it out to see what the "economy" would do. Just think what the racial repercussions would be today if descendents of slaves "remembered" that folks did no more to end slavery than to wait it out. Wouldn't THAT be a lovely legacy.

Too Late To Impeach| 5.3.12 @ 5:55PM

But I understand your point, and I don't necessarily disagree.

Magnifying Glass| 5.5.12 @ 10:38AM

Yes, it would be so much THE SAME as the way they act now.

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 12:39PM

There were a variety of issues, including taxation, restriction of trade, and yes slavery was one of them, a big one. But my point holds. A war was not necessary. England banned slavery without a war.

Tired Taxpayer PRM| 5.3.12 @ 3:14PM

I will take a stab at this.

Slavery would have ended in the United States without the massive losses of a civil war through capitalism. The south would never have been able to compete with the north economically and would eventually have voluntarily abolished slavery in order to survive. The country would have also avoided a lot of ill will that exists, even to this day. I believe that, without a civil war, the civil rights era would have come much sooner because the attitude of the people involved would gravitate more to shame over slavery rather than the bitterness of defeat from the war.

Throughout history free societies have always won out over slave societies. Review the history of the fall of the Soviet Union for a recent example. It happened without a costly war and freed a lot of people.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:44AM

My point was not about the abomination of human slavery but the methods by which it was ended. Every other Western civilization ended slavery by legislative action. Actually massive use of slavery would have ended in the South long before the Civil War if it had not been for the invention of the cotton gin by a Northern person. Slaves planting, growing, harvesting cotton and then picking the seeds out by hand was very labor intensive and not worth the cost for what the Northern mills were willing to pay. You have to remember the Northern Industrial group promoted the growth of cotton in the South because of the lower cost and better quality than the Egyptian grown cotton. Bottom line the North purchased the cotton grown in the South and therefore helped finance the abomination of human slavery.
If slavery was such a big issue to the Northern Industrial group why didn't they boycott Southern cotton? We are told today to boycott certain companies because they are not PC – but the North was not willing to put it's money where it's mouth was to abolish slavery. On the one hand the North was financing slavery and on the other wanted it abolished.

DTOM!| 5.3.12 @ 7:52AM

So the ownership of slaves was the fault of those seeking cheaper cotton? Seems to be thin gruel, that. 'See what you made me do?' is schoolyard stuff!

Would your legislation have provided compensation for the financial loss to slaveholders upon the emancipation of their slaves? Should it have?

Would the South have not fired upon Fort Sumter if Congress had just passed a law? It was the South with the hasty cannon.

DTOM!| 5.3.12 @ 7:54AM

Hasty cannon and hasty Confederacy...

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:58AM

"So the ownership of slaves was the fault of those seeking cheaper cotton? Seems to be thin gruel, that. 'See what you made me do?' is schoolyard stuff!"

Your analysis is correct.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 8:06AM

DTOM! - where did the Union movement start? In the South or the North? It started in the North because of the ill treatment of the workers by Northern Industrialists. Check out the reasons why we have child labor laws – use of children to run the Northern Mills because children were cheap. Where did the labor riots take place – the coal fields of Kentucky because of working conditions.
The people that worked in Northern Industrial plants were slaves in everything but name – they were in economic slavery.
Economic GREED by friend.

DTOM!| 5.3.12 @ 8:40AM

OF,

How long has it been since the Labor movement had the interests of people who worked as its raison d etre?

The answer, in years, has at least three digits, no?

The Union movement only objectives have been feathering union officials nests and spreading communism for at least 90 years. It started in the North because that's where the workers were..

And communists love having slaves - they just use different terminology...don't they?

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 9:11AM

Agreed

chuck| 5.3.12 @ 7:47AM

DTOM,

The industrial revolution would have made slavery obsolete within a few short years.

Very few Southerners actually owned slaves, and certainly fewer slave owners were marching along side Gen. Lee. Southerners hate being told what they have to do by a tyrannical government. I believe this is what led to many poor Southerners to take up arms against the Northern aggressors.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:56AM

chuck - right on target!

Von Mises Jr| 5.3.12 @ 8:09AM

Right on, chuck. A read of Tocqueville explains how the Industrial Revolution ended serfdom. The struggle ever since has been for the Nobles, Aristocrats and Intellectuals to raise serfdom and a caste society from the dead.
Obama is our Robespierre. Soros and Maurice Strong (Agenda21) are the Nobles. Congress is the Aristocrats. And Small Business is the bourgeoisie that must be cast back into serfdom.
BTW, "Forwared" is no more of a mistake than Sandra "Fluke" is an accident.

USSAlabama| 5.3.12 @ 9:58AM

Showing your brilliance again Jr. No doubt "Forward" is as deliberate as Fluke and all of their other exploding cigars of late.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 8:12AM

Of course the slave owners on their plantations did not personally want to risk their lives, that is what the peons are for. You and oldfart are engaging in historical revisionism, not the actual reality of what happened.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 8:41AM

Should we quote Lincoln and Sherman that the war was not about slavery at the start? Slavery was the moral excuse to justify the slaughter of people. Lincoln made slavery the primary focus after the emancipation proclamation which was a political move to keep England and France out of the war because it changed the focus from econommics to moral issues.
There is no discussion that human bondage is evil but don't use one evil to justify another.
France and England ended slavery without a civil war - why did slavery continue in the USA?
Because the technology was not yet perfected make the purchase of humans more expensive than the purchase of machines.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 9:44AM

yada yada, Lincoln is bad and the South was a poor victim of yankee aggression

KennesawJack| 5.3.12 @ 9:46AM

I think the entire direction this thread took is ridiculous. Let's back to discussing the primary problem we face in the here and now. You know, the Marxist in the White House. By the way, all you need to know about Lincoln's attitude towards slavery is contained in the Emancipation Proclamation. Try reading the part that frees the slaves held only in those States that remain in open rebellion. Now, can we get back to business?

USSAlabama| 5.3.12 @ 10:28AM

How about this Jack,

He’s a dandy in aspic, forever suspended in the gelatinous world-view of the angry Baby Boomers who run him. He was their dream candidate come to life, molded and formed in the image and likeness of the “revolutionary” Sixties, his very lack of accomplishment and experience a feature, not a bug. He could be anything they wanted him to be. Unfortunately for him, what they wanted him to be was Abbie Hoffman in a well-tailored suit. It never occurred to them that Abbie would not have made a very good president. Just a destructive one — but perhaps that’s a feature, not a bug, as well.

USSAlabama| 5.3.12 @ 10:02AM

Paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson with regard to having a wolf by the ears -- Southerners agreed!

There was no desire to maintain slavery but Southerners well knew the nature of the beasts they 'owned'.

What happens to people who own tigers? You always hear about them on breaking news.

chuck| 5.3.12 @ 11:15AM

Todd S,

Did you ever watch Ken Burn's Civil War series on PBS. He states that many Union soldiers, already sick and tired of the slaughter of 1000s of their fellow soldiers, were ready to lay down their arms and go home when Lincoln signed the Emancipation. They were willing to die to same the nation, but if it came down to just an issue of the slaves, their attitude was "screw this".

And where is it written that states can not leave the Union? I see nowhere in the Constitution the States are forbidden from leaving. So why did Lincoln have to send the Union troops into the South and force them back in? Talk about trashing the Constitution, Lincoln was one of the worst offenders.

BTW, I'm originally from PA, moved to TX, now residing in GA. So I get a rather wide range of opinions on the War Between the States.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 2:25PM

Why do you insist on discussing this when it has nothing to do with the article? You Lincoln haters disgust me almost as much as the Obama lovers.

Tejano Jack| 5.3.12 @ 5:40PM

"Forward" was originated by Marx & Engles, not Mao.

If using the word "F0rward" in a campaign slogan makes you a Marxist, just because Mao also used the word in a slogan, then George W. Bush was also a Maoist. All the inferences of bad intent that the Spectator feels compelled to heap on the President for using that word would apply to an equal extent to Mr. Bush.

Why?

One of the primary slogans of the 2004 Bush campaign was (drum roll): "Moving America Forward" (see press release below). By the logic (or lack of) used in this article to attack Obama, that slogan must have meant that Bush wanted to move America to Maoism, since Mao used the word "Forward" to describe his vision of China's future.

The same would also apply to Adlai Stevenson, who used the slogan "Forward with Stevenson" in 1952. Also, clearly a Maoist reference, right?

Ehud Olmert's Kadima party in Israel was also Maoist, they used the slogan "Moving Forward" in their 2006 campaign.

I could go on and on, from Mayoral and Gubernatorial elections, on up to a myriad of foreign heads of state - the word "Forward" (or words interpreted to be synonymous) may be one of the most commonly used words in the political lexicon.

This means that one of two things must be true, either;
1) Every political campaign anywhere, in history, that uses or has used the word "Forward" in their slogans or publications is pushing a Maoist agenda, or
2) That the Spectator has once again stitched together a few flimsy threads of supposition and happenstance and tried to pawn it off on their readers as journalism.

Logic and precedent support the latter conclusion. To try to paint the entirety of a particular political philosophy onto any number of utterly unrelated campaigns or philosophies, simply because they include that word in their slogan or publications, is absurd.

But I recognize that none of that matters, since the objective of the piece was not to make sense - it was to attack.

A footnote: Absent the context of Mao, the word "forward" is not directly translated into Chinese as the character 进 which Mao used. Translated from Chinese the character typically means "in", "into" or "enter". The translation provided for the word "Forward" in online dictionaries is "转信", pronounced "zhuan xin". Which, of course is not used in Mao's slogan.

So, not only has the Spectator built a house of cards on the selective application of their very broad "forward = Maoist" brush, it appears they have, in fact used the wrong word. They should be condemning any campaign whose slogans or publications include the word "in". I'm sure they could find equally legitimate way to narrow that field to include only Obama.

At the very least - the article displays a considerable contempt for the intelligence of their readers. The Bush Campaign was only 8 years ago. Did you really think nobody would remember "Moving America Forward".

Really?

BUSH, 2004 CAMPAIGN ARTICLE -

Bush-Cheney '04 Launches New Television Advertisement: "Changing World"

ARLINGTON, VA - Today, Bush-Cheney '04 announced the release of the campaign's newest television advertisement, "Changing World." The new ad highlights President George W. Bush's vision to keep America moving forward and his conviction to make tough decisions in today's changing world. The ad also points to the values that make our country strong. The ad will run on national cable and select local markets.

Script for "Changing World"

Voice Over:
The world is changing.
Sometimes in ways that astound.
And others that terrify.
We depend more than ever on our values - family, faith, the freedom we celebrate.
In today's changing world the answers aren't easy.
We need a sense of purpose, a vision for the future, the conviction to do what's right.

Graphic:
President Bush
Moving America Forward

President Bush:
I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message. Together, we're moving America forward.

Alan, I remember the Bush administration. I remember gas at $1.84 a gallon. Unemployment at 5%. The deficit at trillions less than it is now. I remember there weren't any tent cities in my state back then or idiots camped on the capitol steps in my town. Fewer troops were being killed in Afghanistan. I remember when we had a President who knew how to LEAD, even if I didn't always like where we were going. I remember a president who didn't promise Russia he'd have more "flexibility" in his next term. I remember a President loved by the troops, not loathed. Yeah, I remember all that.

TLP| 5.3.12 @ 8:04AM

Can you say......ALL IN?

The Narccissist is getting Careless. And, by careless, I mean - Reckless. And, by reckless, I mean - Dangerous.

Everybody saw The Omen, right? Everybody saw The Boys From Brazil?

Now, combine the two, add in the Book of Revelation, and you've got "The One we've Been Waiting For". Only now, he's starting to get anxious.

Forward. What a beautiful display of Homage, to the Progressive Works of George Orwell, and his Prophetic use of the term: "NEW-SPEAK". Forward.

The choice of the word should come as no surprise. Like the "Bread Crumbs" left for Will Smith's character, in the Movie - I Robot - this is just one more CLUE. (As if we needed any more.)

These "Bread Crumbs" have been popping up since the Campaign. Joe the Plumber was one of the more obvious ones. Maxine Waters, being keenly aware of whom he was, let the next one out of the bag with her 'slip of the tongue' about what "This Democrat would do" if the Oil Companies refuse to bend their knee.

Her Excellency dropped a Breadcrumb on the Campaign Trail, when she announced that: "Barack will never let you "GO BACK" to your old lives. He will change the way we do things, moving "FORWARD". He will change our History. He will change our Traditions."

SIEG HEIL!

(Isn't she great?)

We got a Bread Crumb in the admission of the former SEIU Chief - Michael Lerner - who, upon seeing that his Movement was in good hands, resigned his Post, proclaiming that he was going FORWARD, to make the Slogan: Workers of the World Unite, in to a reality. The Arab Spring would soon begin, and the Flotillas would soon follow. They were on the ground in Tunisia, in Egypt, and in Libya. They are NOT on the ground in Syria. (Interesting)

FOREWARD.

We had his Press Liason - Anita Dunn - announcing that The greatest Mass Murderer of the 20th Century - Mao Tse Tung - was one of her two favorite sources of inspiration, whenever the grinds of every day life, would get her down.

The Muslims Economic Czar (I don't care what his name is.) proclaimed that: "We get it. The Free Market is a joke, and Mao was right when he said that Power flows from the Barrel of a Gun."

His FCC Chairman went all "Premature" in his pants, when he gushed about his ENVY of the way Hugo Chavez had stormed all the Radio and Television Stations, on his way to "Preserving his "Beautiful Revolution".

And, of course, who can forget the CLENCHED FIST of Marxist Revolution, so proudly displayed on the Protest Placards of the Union Street Gangs in Madison, and elsewhere, belonging to this Son of an Atheist Communist, and a Muslim Marxist?

Although the openness of this blatant change in Strategy, comes off as Brazen,we can see that this move FORWARD has already started, as The Boy from Indonesia, works tirelessly to drag us backward. Away from the Factories, and back in to the Fields. That's what Mao did. That's what Lenin did. That's what Stalin, Min, and Pol Pot did.

It didn't work, because it never works. Because it can't work. It's like putting the Square Peg in to the Round Hole. But their Egos will never let them be swayed by the FACTS, or by HISTORY, or by REALITY. They will have their way, the only way they can. The only way one ever gets the Square Peg in to an uncooperative Round Hole. They will use a Hammer. And, when that doesn't work? They'll get a BIGGER HAMMER, and they'll hit it HARDER. Until the Peg, inevitably, shatters in to pieces.

Just as it always has.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 8:32AM

Tremendous. Just one point about him being Muslim. While it is true his deadbeat father was Muslim by culture, he actually was a Marxist atheist and that is Obama's " religion" is as well. It is true Obama likes to kiss the ass of Muslims in praising their religion but that is more due to liberals slobbering over multi-culturalism and to poke his finger in the eyes of tradional Christianity and Judaism. Obama personally could care less what is actually in the Koran which are the ramblings of a disturbed megalomaniac. Das Kapital is more his kind of "scripture".

I am even seeing unbelievable ignorance of any past (recent or distant) on our own side....While I am thankful that the ones on our own side just happen to fall with us right now...I am not sure that we can keep them there regularly....

That's why Obama can sucker punch a group...any group...then step back and point at the Group for attacking some other group that he chooses to be his victim of the week...

And the play drags on and on and on....

I think we are beginning to understand just how others in the past have felt...when they were the lonely voice "crying in the wilderness"....or screaming about the iceberg....but can't scream loud enough because the liars are seducing the masses and drowning out any dissent with crazy loud music.

Mike Hawk| 5.3.12 @ 6:51AM

Ah, yes, Mao's 'Great Leap Forward'. (For you leftist trolls, I am old enough to remember that.) The ChiComs backyard manufacturing including those idiotic primitive iron smelters. Too bad bad they didn't have any wealth to spread around via Porkulus funds. The result was the same, failure and ecomonic disaster, only our great leap is Green. Redundant central planning if Chairman BHO is in charge.

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:03AM

In spite of massive failure over the past 100+ years in the implementation of total central control of EVERYTHING, today's progressive/socialist movement refuses to own up to the fact that the theory is basically flawed. Total centralization only works with machines and people are not machines. They seem to have this idea that the previous implementations of this theory were somehow undercut by 'outside forces' that caused the project to fail. The best example of a 'success' of sorts to this theory is North Korea, which actually can only survive because of the semi-capitalist state of China.
In stark contrast our own Constitution used the Constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy as a model.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/iroquois.asp
The Iroquois Confederacy is a successful model that has existed for hundreds of years. Yes, that Constitution and the American are not perfect because people are not perfect – but are still is use today, surviving the test of time.
So how long have these progressive/socialist governments survived?
A strong central government tends to bring out the worst in people who thirst for personal power and 'glory' to the determent of all.
Anyone out there every study the reign of terror after the deposition of the French Monarchy? How was that stopped – by years of terror under a Corsican despot.
Normalcy was restored, but at what cost? What was the coast of the Great Leap Forward?
Hmm – 'Forward' – right back to Mr. Lord's theme.
We need to return to the balance of power built into the design of our Constitution.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

DTOM!| 5.3.12 @ 7:38AM

Things can look pretty rosy when viewed through a lens of oral history, "written" by the victors.

Did the Iroquois Confederacy recognize private property? I'm guessing not. Taking the wealth variable out of governance really simplifies a lot of issues.

Not having detailed, written history lets a lot of ugly stuff get swept under the rug, quickly and easily. I don't wonder at the supposed wisdom of a polity that held sway for five or six hundred years, when there's no minority report...

Were the Illini protected by the Iroqouis Confederacy? There are still some surviving Chinese peasants, there are no surviving Illini...
and it wasn't Europeans or their diseases that massacred them...

Rose-colored glasses are so much fun, til reality breaks them...

I'm just saying...

Don't Tread On Me...

oldfart| 5.3.12 @ 7:53AM

Actually the Iroquois recognized personal property. They were also a matriarchy, that is a female run society. Bloodlines were passed through the female line. When a couple married they each retained ownership of what they brought to the marriage. The man moved into the lodge of the female line. They had divorce, in that the woman could through out the man, if he failed to provide for the family and she retained ownership of her stuff.
In addition the women were the only members of the society allowed to vote to go to war. The reason for this is the woman had to bear the burden of providing the 'replacements'.

All of this information is available on-line for your further research.

So DTOM – next question?

DTOM!| 5.3.12 @ 9:53AM

OF,

Still trying to eke out a living over here.

But my original observation that a lack of a written history and a minority opinion does leave a lot of wiggle room for auguring that the IF was such a good deal. Haven't you found that far more things sound better than actually are?

PS. I'd call myself an old fart, but I'm trying to cut down, especially since the Missus doesn't particularly like the idea of an of husband...

Another amazing coincidence - Wisconsin's state motto is "Forward". Looks like the reds are everywhere nowadays. Oh and that Christmas decoration was from an Andy Warhol print from what I remember.

Rodman820| 5.3.12 @ 6:30PM

Amazingly, George W. Bush was also a Maoist - he used the slogan "Moving America Forward" in his 2004 campaign.

Or does that not count, since recognizing that would blow apart their attack on Obama?

If "Forward" is Marxist/Maoist codeword, then it is ALL the time. This kind of selective application and extrapolation of broad conclusions from the most meaningless coincidence is, unfortunately, the basis for most of the Spectator's content.

Charles Van Dorn| 5.4.12 @ 4:15PM

FORWARD is also a motto used by the National Socialist (Nazi) Sturm Abteilung (SA). Forward was also the motto of the National Socialist Youth Movement. My guess is that Obama's use is more in tune with that of his Nazi mentors, than the communisit Maoists.

Tim B| 5.4.12 @ 8:18PM

The clues where there for the awake or the aware to see. He told Joe the Plumber he was going to redistribute the wealth. Its good for everyone, you see. He said he was going rasie the capital gains rate because it was "fair". He hold us in Dreams from My Father, that his high school mentor was "Frank". Frank was Frank Marshall Davis, a communist with a FBI file a mile thick.
He believed in Global Warming (or Global Climate Change) and that building a new coal fired energy plant would "necessarily" bankrupt them. He also gave us clue to his energy policy: inflate your tires. He hired Van Jones, Anita Dunn, and Lisa Jackson which all fellow travellers.

Since Socialism (or communism) never works he has set up FEMA Camps. Why would a free country need FEMA Camps spread out in every state (at least three to a state). That would be a minimun of 150 camps? A little reeducation anyone? Its Holdern that adheres to the nudge, push strategy to social engineer. What's the next phase, the a little gun to go with the gulag?

kwan| 5.3.12 @ 9:53AM

The two most incomprehensible sentences ever uttered by a candidate for President of the United States: “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.”....Barack Obama July 2, 2008 Colorado Springs. Marxists are always paranoid about a counter-revolutionary movement somehow rising-up against them. Cuba's "Committees for the Defense of the Revolution" are an example of this paranoia. The Committees are the "eyes and ears of the revolution" and report on counter-revolutionary activity to the central government.When Obama says, "in order to achieve the national security objectives we've (Who is this we? What objectives?) set", he is talking about something like the Waffen-SS that would strike back against those that would attempt to overthrow the "Revolution".

Though I know this is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Mao, I think a more appropriate slogan for Obama's campaign can be found in the words of Colonel Saito, the POW camp commandant from "The Bridge on the River Kwai", though I've updated it a bit to reflect the "new normal' of the Obama economy:

"Be Happy in Your Lack of Work".

Pecos Pete| 5.3.12 @ 8:56AM

ACjr: Comrade, you done said it! Excellent. Forward!

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 8:46AM

"Unless, of course, this slogan is in fact a genuine reflection of the Obama campaign's thinking."

One, it IS a genuine reflection of Bozo's campaign thinking (if you can call it "thinking".) Two, it will not backfire since the bulk of America's voting public has absolutely no idea that "Forward!" is a Socialist slogan. "Forward!" is a slogan designed to elicit an emotional reaction, not to promote thinking. "Forward!" is an amorphous, empty, meaningless thing to say, but it inspires, it stimulates. Who can argue that we should go "Backward!"???

Socialists think that ANY move toward more socialism is by definition a move "Forward!" (Hence their chosen label "Progressive"). History is not important ("You're just hung up on FACTS, man!"). What is important is the "progress" moving "Forward!" toward the goal! What is the goal? Well, all you will get from Socialists is that the goal is "Forward!" to a utopian, communal existence where everyone is enabled to achieve their highest ambitions without struggle or competition. And those "reactionaries" who see the World differently, will simply have to be eliminated so the "Progressives" can achieve their move "Forward!" This has been the justification for the millions who have died at the hands of the Socialists, that some must suffer and die to eliminate counter-revolutionary ideas, that those who would think only for themselves must be eliminated for the universal good. This is, after all, "science," as in "good scientific government" that utilizes the "best of each person for the betterment of all people."

That people can actually think (as do Ayers, Dohrn, and Soros, et.al.) like this is bad enough, but We the People have elected them to office where thay can carry out their revolution from within. President Bozo is just a puppet for these people, a figurehead, the "electable" frontman to mouth "feel-good" platitudes like "Forward!" while his handlers destroy freedom and implement their sick vision.

Teaghan| 5.3.12 @ 9:08AM

I love to referr to them as "regressives".

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 10:45AM

One additional point: In response to President Bozo's single word slogan "Forward!" we see here 74 comments (at last count) plus numerous links to additional articles and published works, plus Mr. Lord's original article. All these volumes stacked up against a single word. And that single word will nullify everything. There is a reason tyrants utilize propaganda, it works. The American People have become sheep, hearing their master's voice, and blindly following the flock. Democrat voters will hear "Forward!" and vote according to their programmed emotional response. Democrat voters will be unswayed by the volumes of facts, history, and logic, just as Democrat politicians will be undeterred in their quest for other people's money.

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 11:10AM

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. They produced Michaelangelo, da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."
(Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles, in "The Third Man.")

This is the mindset of the Socialist, that great suffering is good for society overall because it produces great "art." What Mr. Lime left off of his list was the first great event of the Renaissance, indeed the inspiration FOR the Renaissance: The Black Death. Great suffering inspiring great art. It is hard for a logical mind to understand this way of thinking. I personally would prefer 500 years of peace and a cuckoo clock, to centuries of suffering that results in Michaelangelo's works. But Socialists see if exactly the opposite. Because of its simplicity, Bozo's one word "Forward!" gives "hope" to those who see themselves as "suffering" even if their "suffering" was brought on by those who cry "Forward!" Mao murdered millions and is still seen as a great hero by Socialists, for no other reason than he wanted to move "Forward!".

Indy| 5.3.12 @ 8:51AM

Interesting how these "progressive" coincidences keep showing up.

Remember the 17 minute video "The Road We've Traveled" funny how it sounds oddly familar to anyone who has studied the progressive era.

"Out of sheer coincidence, supposed coiner of the term New Deal, Stuart Chase, wrote a book in 1942 called "The Road We Are Traveling." Or is it a coincidence? Read on an you be the judge. Is this a path toward greater freedom for mankind or is it the road to a new serfdom?...

In the book, Chase outlines how the world in 1942 is changing from a system based on "free enterprise" into a new, unknown system that he calls "X" Here is an excerpt from pages 94 to 97. One might go so far as to call this a "fundamental transformation."

much more at the link...

Is Axlerod just amusing himself as he toys with those of us who study history or is Team O out in the open? I've not read Stuart Chase's book, I wonder if I can find an old copy.

Melvin| 5.3.12 @ 8:52AM

Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, all had one thing in common. They murdered millions of their citizens conducting their purges or cultural revolutions.
Mao alone murdered over 55 million Chinese, and that is the number that we know about.
The Left loves to tout the evils of Adolph Hitler.
But the truth of the matter is, Hitler was nothing compared to the millions upon millions of destroyed and crushed lives of Marxism.
The Russians, the Soviets, and the Chinese were promised a Utopian society, were every citizen was equal, and greeted each other as Comrade.
There was to be no rich or poor, but there was an elite. An elite that was very well insulated from the horrors of Socialism. They had summer homes or Dachas. They had motor vehicles with private drivers, and they never had to stand in long lines at the state run shop that was selling inferior toilet paper.
I suppose to the Socialist elites this was the Marxist utopia, that subjugated the masses into a life of misery, and indentured servitude to the state.
Can it happen here, to a Country that has fought Marxism for almost a century? Come to think of it the citizens of Russia, the Soviet Union, and China probably asked themselves the same question, before the darkness enveloped them.
Remember when the Empire State Building in New York City went Red for Communist China to celebrate it's 60th Anniversary in 2009?
How many of us will suffer under the Marxist Jack Boot, when our young idealistic brainwashed youth, bust down our front doors all in the name
of the, "The New Forward Revolution?"

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 10:54AM

You are absolutely corrrect. It is coming here. Socialism is about an idea, not about results. Ideas and slogans, "Forward!" looking, feel-good platitudes with no concrete accomplishments. Without the struggle, there is no victory. Without the disease, there is no cure. Without suffering, there is no going "Forward!" For millennia politicians have created and fomented artificial crises in order to provide the "solution" and move society "Forward!" And of course, those politicians have reaped the rewards of other people's suffering in the form of a very rich lifestyle and great public adulation.

JT| 5.3.12 @ 2:21PM

And their army of brainwashed drones educated in what is a pathetic educational system is growing by the year. Can't have a revolution without the cannonfodder to spend blood on to get it done.
Ignorance of history is the greatest weapon these tyrants have and they are using it to full effect. To see young people embracing the very same system that killed over 100 million under its jackboot is stunning. "It can't happen here" is the matra of ignorant fools as history repeats itself over and over, and the graves of the multitudes crushed under Marxist totalitarionism grows. This is truly the age of ignorance in this country.

mleppla@ec.rr.com| 5.3.12 @ 3:57PM

Does it always have to end like this JT? How many millions must suffer and perish, before someone gets tired of walking through all the killing fields, and says, "This philosophy just doesn't work."

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 6:24PM

Socialism is these people's life-blood. They will never admit its failure and never allow their philosophy to be held responsible for the millions killed by Socialists. It would render their entire adult lives worthless and wasted, and this is something they will never admit, no matter how many suffer and die from the practical implementation of their beloved philosophy. Remember Stalin's dictum: "I don't care if 3/4 of the World's population dies, as long as the remaining 1/4 is Communist." There is no reasoning with Socialists.

Mr. Lord could have benefitted from reading the recently published Frank Dikötter, “Mao’s Great Famine: The History of China’s Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962” (New York: Walker & Co., 2010). Among other things, it was an attempt to use the methodology of a command economy to raise mainland China to Britain’s level in paralled to Khrushchev’s use of similar methods to exceed the West. As Khrushchev told Western diplomats in 1956, “History is on our side. We will bury you.”

People think I'm crazy when I say if this marxist gets re-elected we'll all eventually be wearing those dingy grey chinese suits, like they wore in China under Mao. The Left is absolutely evil in their belief that they are smarter than the rest of us, and their endless desire to have certain Americans permanently control (rule through government) the rest of the population. Reagan always warned that we are just a generation away from losing freedom. And it's been a generation now since the 1980's and we are now at such a dangerous time!

Silly "6 degrees of separation" games for simple right wing minds.

Time to break out the tin foil -- right wing Mad Hatters are off their meds again.

Hmmm. "Country First" sounds an awful lot like a Nazi slogan promoting The Fatherland ... in the same warped, delusional manner that "Forward" is connected Marxism ... or fascism ... or communism ... or Satanic worship ... or ....

Who needs facts and evidence when it's so much easier to use innuendo and speculation.
Desperate times call for desperate inferences and accusations, and the Republican Party has become increasingly desperate as November approaches.

Ground Control| 5.3.12 @ 11:17AM

You need to overcome your own ignorance. While "Forward!" SUGGESTS progress, it is in fact a word used by people who have caused REGRESSION of society and economics, and have directly caused the deaths of over 100 million people during the 20th Century. This is not a overwrought claim by "simple right wing minds." It is historical fact.

And there is no simpler or more simplistic way of thinking than the left wing. "Stupid" is an accurate description, since such minds eschew empirical information in favor of feeeeling good about what they want, but never accomplish. Frankly, you "get" nothing at all.

To be fair, Nixon was referring to a white man and a black neighbor. Going to China? That by itself doesn't say anything. However... he did give birth to the EPA so you may have a point. What better way to celebrate communism than introducing an agency whose sole function is to eat away private property rights.

Junius| 5.3.12 @ 11:07AM

Dear Leader Obama is not a socialist. He never was one. He is a communist and always has been. It was there for all to see from the very beginning of the 2008 campaign. It always puzzles and enrages me that even Republicans and Conservatives use the much less threatening label of "socialist" when discribing this wanna be Dictator and his commiecrat party minions. Now he feels strong enough to start revealing who he really was all along. A Communist. Everyone wake up, it is still not too late. Start calling him what he really is and enough of the pussy footing around the truth. Obama is a communist. Can't put it any plainer than that. Now you know what we are dealing with and we need to act accordingly.
If you vote for a democrat you are voting for communism.

Jack London| 5.3.12 @ 3:29PM

Solyndra was a commercial company that received government support, just as many others have in various forms (eg tax breaks).

Brainless liberal| 5.3.12 @ 3:46PM

The only reason Solyndra failed is because they did not receive enough stimulus money and the oil companies paid off the Chinese to bankrupt the noble green company. You can't expect to run a business with a measly $500 millions, $50 billion like GM got and we would have affordable solar power panels for all! But the oil companies won't be satisfied until every last polar bear has drowned and the 50th floor of the Empire State Building is the new sea level, I saw that in a movie.

idalily| 5.3.12 @ 4:12PM

Really? How much stimulus money would Solyndra have needed to be a success?

THIS is what I'm so tired of. Working my ass off only to have liberals keep demanding more and more and more. The Dept of Energy was created by the Carter Admin to lower our dependence on foreign oil. How'd that work out? We've spent billions on it, and we're more dependent than ever. The Dept. of Education was created to give our children a better education, and things have only gotten worse, leading to liberal demands for even more money to fix the problem. The stimulus wasn't big enough. Give us MORE and we'll fix it. All we need is enough government money and we'll have affordable solar. Affordable for whom? Not the taxpayer, who spent billions to give us this affordable solar that's nowhere near a reality. Gimme, gimme, gimme is the liberal philosophy. It's like listening to a two-year old.

This is the problem with liberals. They are insatiable in their demands for my money. And yet nothing ever truly gets accomplished with the dough. And I am tired of working like a dog to dump money down the rathole that is liberal philosophy. There isn't enough money in the world to rid us of your incessant demands. There never will be. Go away, liberal, and if you want waste money, fine. Waste yours. Not mine.

Sorry, I don't usually need a sarc tag to see the sarcasm. I guess I did this time! It just touched a nerve.

George S| 5.3.12 @ 6:02PM

Hey, Jack... long time. Tax breaks happen after you risk your own capital and make money. That is, you first have to risk the capital, make a return and then incur a tax liability that can be credited or made deductable. Risk means that you have to be willing to lose in order to gain; if you lose, no one can be forced to pay you back. However, the market (society including government) can benefit from certain innovations -- such as energy, food, medicines, etc. -- therefore the public (government's masters) can agree to entice the risk of capital by rewarding investors with a tax credit or tax deduction in exchange of taking a risk on an unrecoverable loss.

Solyndra was not a risk venture. The people were stripped of their sovereignty and robbed at threat of imprisonment (try deducting the Solyndra loss from your 1040 Schedule A) to give that cash -- in the form of an unsecured loan that needn't be paid back -- to Obama's campaign contributors in lieu of them soliciting private funds. Name one Democrat who risked their own money.

So this is not public support. This is robbery; theft of the U.S. Treasury. Of course it does not compare with the heinous crimes of ripping off people by selling low cost Chinese imports or pricing health insurance premiums to cover the disbursement of claims. Products, by the way, people freely and willingly choose to buy.

The left has always had a problem with people who earn a lot of money because they think money is a resource and the rich get to hog it all. But when certain rich people -- who happen to support Democrats -- get their money from theft of public tax dollars, why... why... that is capitalism breaking some eggs to make an omelet.

Purp| 5.4.12 @ 3:57PM

"available from China" is the operative words. They were out-competed, something you enjoy I thought - market forces, right? Bunch of bs - China does not play by fair market rules. But go ahead, let them do it and let them own all the technology. So much for American exceptionalism.

Dick Nome| 5.3.12 @ 3:43PM

Solyndra was Fascism pure and siple, crony socialist capitalism at best. Certainly not free market commerce.

Jack London| 5.3.12 @ 4:01PM

Private investors lost a lot more than the gov. And Solyndra was only a small part of the government's investment program, which as this extract from Forbes shows:

"Critics have seized on the news of Solyndra’s bankruptcy to condemn the Department of Energy’s Loan Guarantee Program, which provided a $535 million loan guarantee in 2009. The National Review’s Greg Pollowitz writes that Solyndra’s failure shows “why the government should not play venture capitalist.” Yet the fact is that, when judged by its entire diverse portfolio of investments, the LGP has performed remarkably well. Indeed, with a capitalization of just $4 billion, DOE has committed or closed $37.8 billion in loan guarantees for 36 innovative clean energy projects. The Solyndra case represents less than 2% of total loan commitments made by DOE, and will be easily covered by a capitalization of eight to ten times larger than any ultimate losses expected following the bankruptcy proceedings.

"The broad success story of the LGP shows why federal investment in clean energy is necessary to help early-stage clean energy technologies achieve scale and reach commercialization. The inherent uncertainty in investing in novel technologies, coupled with the high capital costs and long time horizons, prohibits most venture capital funds from investing in large-scale clean energy projects. Financing tools and direct investment from the federal government can help bridge this well-known “Commercialization Valley of Death,” and the LGP is an effective way of doing that."

Marx yes but Mao and Stalin I think don't sit well with Obama. His kind are more uthopian Karl Marx stereotypes.

Karl Marx was no dreamy Utopian, he would have approved whole heatedly with Lenin's revolution and always pushed for a violent revolution with no half measures.

Maxine Waters, being keenly aware of whom he was, let the next one out of the bag with her 'slip of the tongue' about what "This Democrat would do" if the Oil Companies refuse to bend their knee.

Her Excellency dropped a Breadcrumb on the Campaign Trail, when she announced that: "Barack will never let you "GO BACK" to your old lives. He will change the way we do things, moving "FORWARD". He will change our History. He will change our Traditions."

SIEG HEIL!

(Isn't she great?)

We got a Bread Crumb in the admission of the former SEIU Chief - Michael Lerner - who, upon seeing that his Movement was in good hands, resigned his Post, proclaiming that he was going FORWARD, to make the Slogan: Workers of the World Unite, in to a reality. The Arab Spring would soon begin, and the Flotillas would soon follow. They were on the ground in Tunisia, in Egypt, and in Libya. They are NOT on the ground in Syria. (Interesting)

FOREWARD.

We had his Press Liason - Anita Dunn - announcing that The greatest Mass Murderer of the 20th Century - Mao Tse Tung - was one of her two favorite sources of inspiration, whenever the grinds of every day life, would get her down.

The Muslims Economic Czar (I don't care what his name is.) proclaimed that: "We get it. The Free Market is a joke, and Mao was right when he said that Power flows from the Barrel of a Gun."

His FCC Chairman went all "Premature" in his pants, when he gushed about his ENVY of the way Hugo Chavez had stormed all the Radio and Television Stations, on his way to "Preserving his "Beautiful Revolution".

And, of course, who can forget the CLENCHED FIST of Marxist Revolution, so proudly displayed on the Protest Placards of the Union Street Gangs in Madison, and elsewhere, belonging to this Son of an Atheist Communist, and a Muslim Marxist?

Although the openness of this blatant change in Strategy, comes off as Brazen,we can see that this move FORWARD has already started, as The Boy from Indonesia, works tirelessly to drag us backward. Away from the Factories, and back in to the Fields. That's what Mao did. That's what Lenin did. That's what Stalin, Min, and Pol Pot did.

It didn't work, because it never works. Because it can't work. It's like putting the Square Peg in to the Round Hole. But their Egos will never let them be swayed by the FACTS, or by HISTORY, or by REALITY. They will have their way, the only way they can. The only way one ever gets the Square Peg in to an uncooperative Round Hole. They will use a Hammer. And, when that doesn't work? They'll get a BIGGER HAMMER, and they'll hit it HARDER. Until the Peg, inevitably, shatters in to pieces.

Just as it always has.

Man, what a stupid article. So the new claim is that the word "forward" means Obama is a communist. The fact that he talks about "hope" makes him just like Mao. What are you guys, seven years old?

Didn't anyone ever tell you it's better (read: more accurate) to judge someone by his actions than his words? Especially, it's never a good way to understand the world by judging someone by the hyper-partisan interpretation of those words.

Instead, look at Obama's actions, and then try and find an example of communist policies. Obamacare? That was written by republicans in the 90s, and implemented by Mitt in Mass. If that's your example, then you'll need to take a hard look at the commie pinkos in the GOP.

Every rational political observer sees Obama as a modern centrist who would be to the right of most past republicans. I know that doesn't create an effectively scary rallying cry to go vote him out. I guess that's why you guys all prattle about this nonsense; you think it makes for a strong campaign. Sad...

The fact that most of you don't think it's silly to call Obama a communist because he used the word "further" really underscores what's gone wrong with the modern GOP.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 5:28PM

Try forward dummy. Why doesn't he just make it "Forward to fundamental change", doesn't that just inspire you? It is not like he appointed any open communists (Van Jones) or admirers of the biggest mass murderer (Anita Dunn) in history? Or mentored by a guy named Frank in Hawaii who just happened to be Frank Marshall Davis who was a card carrying member of the Communist Party. Should I continue?

Paul| 5.3.12 @ 5:47PM

Please, by all means, continue. But I have one request: rather than bring up all these inferences of communism ("Oh, he appointed that guy!!"), instead show me actual communist policies that were enacted. I mean, if the administration is chock full of communists as you say, we must be midway through a full-on Bolshevik-style revolution, no? Show me that.

Todd S| 5.3.12 @ 6:06PM

They don't have the foot soldiers for a good communist revolution, look at the pathetic turnout for the Occupy rallies. Obamacare is his plan to transfer our health care system to single payer system like all communist and socialist countries have, just need a transition period as he has stated himself on tape as there is no general support for it just to impose. We have checks and balances to try to prevent his socialist agenda and in November we will get rid of the socialist clown once and for all. And the Supreme Court is likely to rule Obamacare unconstitutional by the sounds of it. His constant demonizing of oil companies and banks is straight out of the Alinsky playbook to polarize and freeze which he was well schooled in as a community organizer in Chicago. Not to mention Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers among others, the bozo loves his leftist radicals.

DRed| 5.3.12 @ 7:14PM

So no, you've got nothing to show he's a communist. Canada has single-payer health (and a red flag!!!!!) care-should we be worried about the red menace to our north? What about England? Is England a communist country? (redcoats!!!!)

Paul| 5.3.12 @ 9:56PM

So, if Obamacare is the "plan to transfer our health care system to single payer system like all communist and socialist countries have," what do you think of the fact that this model was conceived by republicans in the early 90s and implemented by that guy you're voting for in November? Are you really claiming that Romney and the GOP are all communists?

Paul| 5.3.12 @ 11:20PM

Funny how none of you can answer my question. Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to the country ever. Except the plan was formulated and originally implemented by republicans. Following that inconvenient fact......silence.

10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people

The reason, however misguided, state government medical insurance was implemented in Massachusetts is that it is in fact constitutional. Republicans, all too often all too similar to democrats, are, unlike demcrats, from time to time capable of learning from the mistakes of the past.

The reason, however self-evident, implementation of national mandatory government medical insurance has been contested - even in fact by the very organizations that in fact supported its implementation that have in fact been granted waivers from its very implementation to date by the very democrats in fact that unconstitutionally in fact began implementing it - is that it is in fact unconstitutional. Republicans, from time to time capable of learning from mistakes, are currently implementing procedures to insure that the in fact unconstitutionality of national mandatory government medical insurance is self-evidently obvious to the degree that in fact known unconstitutional ideologically democrat supporting supreme court justices will even agree it is in fact unconstitutional.

idiot:
any liberal; Paul re: 'implemented', 'fact', 'communism', 'delusion', 'non sequitur', 'derp'

Paul| 5.8.12 @ 4:34PM

So your halfwitted claim is that the 10th amendment reserves this power for the state, or the people. So which is it, the state or the people?

To answer that question, you'll need to show me where in the MA state constitution this power is enumerated. Show me how the state of MA has the constitutional power to require people to buy products from private companies.

What's that? It's not in there?

So your whole argument is invalid. Republicans do not oppose Obamacare because they've learned from mistakes. They quite obviously have not learned anything, given that the same disastrous Bush team is now advising Romney. No, the republicans are congenitally unable to learn from mistakes. That's perhaps their defining characteristic. Rather, republicans oppose Obamacare out of the congressional goal they set for themselves in 2010: to deny a 2nd term for Obama. That's their singular objective in politics right now. To accomplish that, they realize they need to make things bad for the American people. They're doing that in many ways, including attempt to repeal Obamacare which a majority of Americans want. They're also working to keep the recession going and unemployment up by stopping any further stimulus or tax cuts for the less-than-ultra-rich.

Trying to make all this sound principled only makes you seem even more stupid.

idiot liar Paul on 9/4:

"all your questions boil down to the fact that you don't know what Marxism is, and yet here we are on an article where that term is getting bandied about by you and others who don't know what they're talking about. At least you've had the honesty to ask!

Marxism is the philosophy of Karl Marx (1818-1883). (That's why they call it that.) He's primarily known through 2 works: The Communist Manifesto and Das Capital. To be a Marxist is to follow the ideology as written in those books. Since you've never read those books and have absolutely no idea what they're about, it frees you to refer to people as "marxists" even though they're the furthest thing from.

Marx boiled down all human interaction to its fundamental component, the labor power provided by an individual worker. He believed that this labor power must result in the ownership of the products of that labor, and to separate a worker from the fruits of his labor was to separate man from his own nature.

That's what Marx believed. However, just as we see with Christianity, what has passed as Marxism rarely conforms to the ideals espoused by its leader. Marxism normally includes the concept of "continuous revolution," where the people are constantly renewing the primacy of their ownership of the means and results of production.

By the way, I am no Marxist. Simply because I know about a topic doesn't mean I'm a follower of that topic.

Now, compare the above to anything Obama has done, and the stupidity of this comparison quickly becomes apparent to anyone with an IQ over 60."

~

just one of dozens of rebutters with one of the dozens and dozens of rebuttals to the idiot liar Paul that exposed that Paul the idiot liar was an idiot and a liar without any integrity or credibility:

"all your comments boil down to the fact you don't know what teabaggers are, and yet here we are on an article where the term is getting bandied about by you and no others but you don't know what you're talking about. And you're not honest enough to admit it!

Teabagging is the activity of teabaggers. (That's why they call it that.) It's primarily known through 2 groups: homosexuals and liberals. To be a teabagger is to engage in the abominably sexually deviant perverted actions of a degenerate. Since you've not understood this and have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, it somehow frees you to refer to tea partiers as "teabaggers" even though they're the furthest thing from.

Teabagging boiled down is human interaction that is based on the fundamental component of irrational desire, a loathing and disrespect for themselves and each other. It is believed that this behavior is unhealthy physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, financially, and spiritually, and it separates the participants from their Creator and from their own human nature.

That's not what teabaggers believe. However, just as we see with liberalism, what passes for morality rarely conforms to the will for them espoused by their Creator. Teabaggers normally include the concept of "continuous defiance of reality", where the teabaggers are constantly renewing the primacy of their ownership in their relative morality.

By the way, you seem to be a teabagger. Simply because you call others teabaggers doesn't mean anyone else is really fooled by that.

Now, compare the above to anything a tea partier has done, and the stupidity of calling them teabaggers becomes apparent to anyone with an IQ over 60."

Paul, you have clearly identified yourself as ignorant regarding the Obama Regime and their Liberal Socialist way of government. Sadly, my friend you have shown that YOU are on the Liberal Socialist moron "schtick." Obama is a Socialist and would gladly create a Liberal Socialist DICTATORSHIP, if he thought he could. If you think that a Socialist police state is to your liking, why not migrate to Cuba? I hear they always like to get guys like you out on the farms to cut sugarcane, "for the Revolution."

Paul| 5.3.12 @ 5:45PM

What you've demonstrated through omission is that you have no idea what "socialism" means. If you did, and if you had a firm grasp of history, you wouldn't be a republican — sorry, I digress — you wouldn't be able to say with a straight face that Obama has any common ground with any socialist in history. There are zero examples of Obama's socialist behavior. Zero. That is why this article focuses on words, because Obama's actions do not support the claim.

You understand that on some level, which is why you didn't offer any concrete examples of Obama's socialist policies and actions. Oh, and before you write a feverish screed about Obamacare, stop and ponder that that policy was written by republicans in the early 90s and was implemented by that guy you're going to vote for in November.

Also: one of Mussolini's favorite invocations to whip up fervor in mass meetings was "Avanti!" ('Forward!'); not so ironically, this was also the name of the Socialist newspaper Mussolini edited before 1914, which eventually became associated with the leftist opposition to his regime, and then the voice of the Socialist Party in post-War, post-fascist Italy, On the other side, we have the slogan of Franco's Falangists: "¡Arriba España!" ('Forward, Spain!') As a slogan, the word has all sorts of wonderful historical associations with absolutism and totalitarianism . . .

ArmyAviator| 5.3.12 @ 5:22PM

FORWARD was also the motto of the National Socialist (Nazi) SA and the National Socialist (Nazi) Youth Youth Movement...The Hitler Youth! We forget that the Nazis were SOCIALISTS too, but Hitler and his cronies deserve credit for this motto as well as Chairman Mao!

Paul| 5.3.12 @ 6:00PM

Oh, it gets even more insidious!!

In 1848 (before any word of Karl Marx had reached American shores), the state of Wisconsin changed their official state motto to "Forward!" Clearly this is proof that socialists can time-travel.
http://host.madison.com/wsj/ne.....002e0.html

It gets worse. Turns out the Arsenal football team in the UK changed their motto to "Forward" as well. What communist revolution are they cooking up?
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/c.....ilisation/

It looks like other athletes are susceptible to Karl Marx' workers paradise. A guy named Andrew Colquhoun entered an iron man competition and also used "forward" in his motto. (You'll have to Google that one yourself, as AmEx only allows 2 links per post.)

If it's a fact that the motto "Forward" is a clear indicator of communist/socialist sympathies, then we've got some bad news: the socialists already surround us, embedded into the fabric of society (even in Scott Walker's Wisconsin!).

Based on this shaky understanding, you seem to acknowledge that you don't know what you're talking about and you can't begin to support the claim that Obama is a communist.

I see. You have no way to defend anything you write, so you simply write new nonsequiturs one after another.

Your figures indicate the problem. The bottom 50% is broke and barely making ends meet. Compare that to the 50s when most of the bottom 50% had a chicken in every pot and 2 cars in every garage, on a single income. At that time, the top tax tier was around 90%. Under a republican president (Eisenhower) and much more shared prosperity.

OK, next you'll pivot to another nonsequitur. I see this is your way of admitting you have no real argument. I appreciate that just as much as I would an open admission.

In fact, the association between the "Forward" theme and international Communism is so deep, that the ONLY Americans who would use "Forward" as a political slogan in a national U.S. election are either (a) those who think references to international Communism are COOL; or (b) idiots with little knowledge of history.

I'm appalled by the ignorance displayed in these comments by leftist "deniers" (particularly by the obnoxious know-it-all named "Paul," who obviously doesn't know sh*t).

EVERY student of political philosophy knows that the central idea of Marxism is that history inexorably moves FORWARD to its final stage, which is Communism.

And every student of Soviet history knows that the very first Bolshevik newspaper, founded in 1904/1905 and edited by none other than Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was entitled "Vperiod," which means "Forward."

Every student of Soviet history also knows (as commenter "A Pismo Klamm" correctly pointed out above) that Communist propaganda posters featuring the slogan "Forward" were ubiquitous in the Soviet Union.

Similarly, every student of international Communism knows that Mao Tse Dong was HARDLY the first Communist to use the word "Forward" in Communist propaganda when he used it in the name of his reign of terror and death known as "The Great Leap Forward."

So to deny the strong connection between the slogan "Forward" and international Communism is simply to display one's own profound ignorance.

So what should we make of the Obamacrats who thought it was a GOOD idea to use "Forward" as their new slogan? Well obviously, either (a) they knew about the strong connection between the slogan "Forward" and international Communism, but are so sympathetic to the latter that they thought it was a COOL association to make; OR (b) they are incredibly IGNORANT of history.

Either way, the Obamacrats look like IDIOTS.

Comrade means friend, forward means forward. To try to put the Great Leap Forward into President Obama's mouth is ridiculous. It seems writers like you will use any stretch of imagination (and that's what it is...your imagination) to demonize a good man. Perhaps you should consider a career change if this is the best you have to offer.

JPL17| 5.7.12 @ 9:16AM

Hey Melissa -- I guess you didn't read my 2 posts above, or else you might not have posted a comment so deeply ignorant of history.

Mao was HARDLY the first Communist to use the word "Forward" as the central theme in his propaganda. To the contrary, the "Forward" theme has been central to nearly ALL Communist ideology and propaganda since its inception. Examples:

1. THE central concept of Karl Marx's theory of history, which he dubbed "Scientific Socialism," is that it moves inexorably FORWARD through certain prescribed political-economic systems, culminating in Communism, the final stage of human history.

2. The very first Bolshevik newspaper, founded in Geneva in 1904/1905 by none other than Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was entitled "Vperiod," which means "Forward."

3. The word and concept of moving "Forward" appear EVERYWHERE in Communist propaganda posters and essays throughout the world; including: (a) Russian civil war-era Soviet propaganda poster: "Forward for the Motherland, for our victory!" (b) Stalin-era Soviet propaganda posters: "Under the leadership of the great Stalin - forward to Communism!"; "Young builders of communism! Forward, to the new successes in work and study!"; "Under the banner of Lenin and Stalin, forward to victory of Communism!" (c) Mao-era Chinese propaganda poster: "Let's march forward under the banner of Mao Zedong!" (d) Statement of policy on International and National situation as passed and adopted
by the Revolutionary Socialist Party at its Third All-National Conference, 1948: "Forward to Socialist Revolution"; (e) essay published by Democrat Socialist Perspective: "Socialism-The Way Forward"; (f) essay published in UK Socialist Party publication, Socialism in the 21st Century: "The Way Forward for Anti-Capitalism"; (g) Essay published on Marxists.org: "Can We Go Forward If We Fear to Advance Towards Socialism?" (h) Propaganda poster of South African Communist Party: "Forward to Socialism!"(i) Actual name of communist party in India: The "Forward Communist Party"; and, of course, (j) Mao's revolutionary campaign of terror, death and impoverishment of China: "The Great Leap Forward."

For poster images, links, and further examples, see: http://hackwilson.blogspot.com.....ed-by.html

Indeed, the association between the "Forward" theme and international Communism is so deep, that the ONLY Americans who would ever use "Forward" as a political slogan in a national U.S. election are either (a) those who think references to international Communism are COOL; or (b) idiots who are profoundly ignorant of history.

So which is it? Does Obama think that international Communism is "COOL" (even though it was responsible for the deaths of over 100 million civilians during the 20th Century through execution, assassination, intentional starvation of select populations, man-made famine, forced marches, forced labor, etc. -- see, e.g., "The Black Book of Communism", available at http://www.amazon.com/The-Blac.....161&sr=1-1)? Or is he profoundly ignorant of history? Take your pick, Melissa. Because either way, he's an idiot.

And what's this nonsense you're spouting about Jeffrey Lord being out "to demonize a good man"??? I assure you, Barack Obama is NOT a good man (whereas Jeffrey Lord certainly is). Obama is a typical power mad utopian narcissist whose policies are impoverishing the youth of our country, destroying small businesses, doing profound damage to the U.S. economy, and encouraging the forces that will usher in the next major regional Middle East war (if not world war), who has candidly admitted that he hates the U.S. Constitution and the traditional American values of self-reliance, individual responsibility, traditional family, deeply personal religious faith, and independence from overbearing government meddling.

In short, Obama is an extremely dangerous man. It's to our eternal shame that he has undeservedly and foolishly been given an extremely dangerous amount of power by U.S. voters, under the manipulation of corrupt corporate, media, union and education elites.

Power, by the way, that the adults in this country are coming to take away from Obama this November.

Paul| 5.8.12 @ 4:39PM

So, your claim here seems to be that when people use the word "forward," or if they embrace concepts that involve forward motion, then that means they're communist.

I'm sure this idea was regarded as sheer genius by the slackjawed dipshits you call friends. However, I've got some bad news for you. Your sub-100 IQ means that most Americans are smarter than you. To those people, your entire point should make a 5-year-old pause for a second and say "Man, that is dumb."

JPL17| 5.8.12 @ 6:47PM

No, Paul, my argument was NOT "that when people use the word 'forward,' or if they embrace concepts that involve forward motion, then that means they're communist."

Indeed, that would have been a stupid argument to make. Which is why I didn't make it. It's too bad your reading comprehension sucks so bad that you couldn't understand the argument I actually DID make.

But I guess that's not your fault, Paul. I shouldn't have just assumed that all readers of Jeffrey Lord's columns have at least a 4th-grade level of reading comprehension. So NEXT time I'll try writing something more at your level -- say, so that a 3rd grader -- or maybe even you -- might understand it.

Paul| 5.8.12 @ 7:12PM

Sorry, JPL, but if you were aiming for a different point, it failed abysmally. You copied/pasted a good 1,000 words consisting of examples of communists using the word "forward." What other point were you trying to make?

I see you've also included the usual boilerplate about Obama being bad for the economy and a power-hungry ego-maniac. Which would be a fair point if left on its own. However, you imply that all this could be corrected if we simply elect a republican like Romney. That saps your point of any credibility it would have otherwise had. If you think Romney would be one iota less corrupt in serving the corporate interests of the world at the expense of American middle class, much as Bush did as he trashed the economy, then you and I really need to talk about the wonderful Amway product line. You can get rich working from home!!

It's okay. Don't struggle. You and I both know you have no other point. There's no sense in making yourself look more foolish.

JPL17| 5.8.12 @ 10:35PM

Paul, be as willfully stupid as you like, but don't you dare pretend you know me, or think you know what I know, or think you know where I gained my knowledge of Soviet history and ideology (hint: it had something to do with getting bachelor's and masters degrees in Soviet politics, extensive travel in the USSR, and extensive reading and writing on Soviet history), or think you can read my mind, because you can't even come close. You have no idea who I am.

Indeed, you seem to be so willfully stupid that you can't even comprehend the following incredibly simple idea at the heart of my posts: Namely, (a) that in political philosophy, the theme of moving "forward" is closely and inextricably associated with Marxism and international Communism; (b) that we have a President who was raised and mentored by Marxists, who networked with Marxists for most of his political career, who frequently expresses agreement with Marxist ideas and uses Marxist symbolism, and who has implemented policies that, although not purely Marxist, incline the country towards socialism; and (c) when SUCH a President adopts an explicitly Marxist/Communist slogan as his own political slogan, we are justified in thinking that Obama either (1) thinks that associating his campaign with international Communism is "COOL"; or (2) is ignorant of the significance of the word "forward" under Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist political theory.

By the way, here's a hint: Alternative (2) is impossible. I guarantee you Obama knows full well the significance of the word "forward" under Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist political theory, even if you don't.

Which leaves us with only one possibility: Obama thinks associating his campaign with international Communism is "COOL." Which means he's an incredibly dangerous fool.

Which was my point. Which you missed entirely. Because you're being willfully stupid.

Paul| 5.8.12 @ 11:12PM

When you find yourself having to make up a backstory to give you extra credibility to make up for the insipid things you've written, that's how you know you've lost. To sum up your profound conclusions from your spurious degrees (ha...classic!!), you've made the following points:

1) Communists have made frequent use of the word "forward".
2) Obama is using the word "forward"
3) Obama is a communist and is engaging in #2 either because he thinks it's cool, or to let the world know that he's a communist.

These points are the product of a feeble mind. Points #1 and #2 mean nothing on their own. Lots of people have used the term "forward" as a slogan, as I've pointed out earlier. The great state of Wisconsin for one. Are you saying Wisconsin is a communist republic?

Point #3 shows a profound lack of insight into American politics and PR. As you may have noticed over the years, communism is not a popular ideology in the US. Any politician who wanted to do well in elections would take great pains not to identify himself as a communist. But your claim here is that Obama did it because he thinks it's cool. You're saying he would risk losing the election over that.

Not to mention: there is not one single thing Obama has ever done which conforms with communist ideology. Not a single one. At best, you can point to Obamacare, a concept that was written and implemented by republicans as an alternative to the socialized medicine systems that work in every other developed capitalist country. If a true communist had to choose between socialized medicine and a republican plan to funnel customers over to large corporations, which one do you think he'll choose? (Take your time...)

By now you're feeling stupid. I invite you to write more, so I can demonstrate precisely how stupid you are, because I have a feeling it goes much deeper than this.

JPL17| 5.9.12 @ 12:43AM

Because Leftists like you lack honesty, you haven't addressed a single actual argument I've made, but have instead twisted them into simpleton arguments that weren't made -- apparently because that's the only kind of argument that Leftist idiots like you can counter.

So instead of giving you another chance to distort my words and show off your smug hostility, let's see if you can justify the disastrous Obama unemployment rate, obscene deficit, unstimulating stimulus, anemic GDF growth rate, outrageous gas prices, corrupt bailouts of auto unions, encouragement of domestic racial hostility, screwing of young blacks who face the highest unemployment rates in decades, increased poverty rate, increased dependence on federal government, decreased household income, destruction of jobs in the traditional energy sectors, and foreign policy that turns allies into enemies and invites a third world war.

Oh -- and while you're doing that, maybe you can also explain why independent voters are running away from him as if he were poison ivy.

Paul| 5.9.12 @ 11:19AM

OK, so now you realized you have utterly lost your attempt to prove Obama a communist. But because you lack any trace of integrity, you can't simply say that. You have to pretend I didn't address your arguments when anyone with basic reading ability can see I clearly did, with very sharp focus, and showed them for the nonsense they are.

Now with that humiliation, you need to pivot to other arguments, basically throwing anything you can think of at me in hopes that something will stick, such that you can regain a smattering of your dignity. Sorry, I'm not going to play that game with you. On this thread where the discussion is about the word "forward" and whether or not that makes Obama a communist, you have made a fool out of yourself good and proper. You need to sit and think about that before attempting to discuss politics again.

Silent Tiger| 5.11.12 @ 3:41PM

This is not the only communist slogan Obama has used. His "Change" mantra was used decades ago - by none other than Karl Marx.

Karl Marx is buried in Highgate Cemetary in London. His tomb/memorial was erected by the Communist Party of Britian in 1954. It reads on the monument:

"Workers of the World Unite" (Taken from the communist manifesto). The other part of the inscription reads:

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways—the point however is to change it"."

End Quote. Yes, there is your "Hopey Change" mantra. Obama also campaigned for Raila Odinga in Kenya, Africa in 2006 - Raila Odinga subsequently organized massive protests and attempted genocide in Kenya - including burning Christian Women and children alive in a church, and he openly promised sanctuary to Jihadist terrorists if he won the election. His slogan: "Your Agent for Change".

Here is link to the "Agent for Change" in Kenya, Raila Odinga - and Obama on the stump campaigning for him in Kenya:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5iLVlkFePE

Obama's mentor in his youth was communist Frank Marshal Davis. So it is perfectly natural for him to quote Marx and Mao in his ideaology.

What I cannot understand is how the American people could be so gullible. When a socilaist stands before a free republic and declares there must be "Change", it would serve that republic well to consider the SOURCE of such change.

Rather than follow like lemmings to the sea, we should remember the blood and great treasure that is our inheritance as the children of patriots, and we should shun such "change" and "leaps forward" at all costs.

Finally I will simply say, had the press been more concerned with vetting Obama instead of Palin's wardrobe and Joe Plumber's thousand dollars in taxes, we would not be in this mess. He never would have won the election. The press failed the American people horribly in the last election. Maybe now, four years later, enough Americans are awake to demand more accurate reporting.

Good work on your article, keep them coming.

Paul| 5.11.12 @ 7:04PM

Jesus, another republican retard. From which crack do you all continually issue forth?

Lots of people have used the word "change," moron. It's a powerful slogan. To claim that it makes you a Marxist is hopelessly stupid.

Rather than draw these tenuous connections, since you're so convinced that Obama is a communist, perhaps you could show some examples in his actual behavior. I don't mean things he's said, people he's talked to, folks he's "palled around with." I'm talking about specific policies he has attempted to implement while in office that conforms with communist ideology.

Some examples please. Just one.

Silent Tiger| 5.12.12 @ 10:05AM

Paul:

I have no obligation to respond to your rude and biased disrespect, but I will say this: If that was your best shot, you just wasted a bullet.

Examples? There are many. His utter oppostion to basic principles of the Constitution of the United States speaks for itself (See Second Amendment, and please note the highest court in the land is about to strike down his Healthcare bill as unconstitutional.) And do I really need to point out his determination to destroy captilalism is a DEAD GIVE AWAY. Maybe your fine with "re-destribution of wealth". Or maybe your just too stupid to study history and understand that Obama's planned involuntary "National Civilian Security Force" where American students from middle school to college were to be recruited is taken straight from the playbook of Nazi Germany (See Hitler Youth Groups and Brown Shirts).

If there is any positive side to the destruction of our economy it is simply that he was unable to put these plans in place at this time.

The bottom line: Obama is a socialist, and if your too stupid to grasp the big picture and track his record, his efforts, and his agenda, that is not my cross to bear. So talk to the hand - or better yet the finger.

An even better idea would be for you to stop pretending to have a genuine interest in the truth, and educate YOURSELF - rather than playing liberal troll on the internet. You see, I have seen your kind before many times in many forums and arenas. And I have made the mistake of thinking it was worthwhile to debate with such. But it isn't, and I won't waste my time doing so.

However, it does occur to me that I neglected to mention Obama's benefactor: Al Mansour. Who is Al Mansour? Well, lets just say he makes Obama's "God Dam* America" Reverend Wright look like an Eagle Scout. But where were we? Oh yes, Al Mansour. You can read about him here:
http://www.conservativedailyne.....ma-backer/

And now Paul, feel free to have the last word. Your just not worth the trouble - and thank God, you and your party are about to be toast come election time. We took back the House last election, and this election we will win again. When we do, we will turn this boat around before you and your party utterly destroy this nation.

And now I leave you with a final word from Al Mansour, the man who helped make it possible for Obama to attend Harvard:

"“Whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that’s when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don’t worry because God wants you to do it.” - Al Mansour

Silent Tiger| 5.12.12 @ 10:49AM

Whoopsie! Gosh Paul, shame on me. How could I be so silly as to forget the best part?

You say Obama is not a Socialist. Well, you and I are never going to agree, so lets agree not to waste each others time with nonsensical flame throwing.

There are bigger fish for you to fry you see. If Obama is NOT a socialist, instead of hanging out here wasting your time trying to convince folks who know better, why not surf on over to the websites of the Communist Party USA, and The Democratic Socialists of America, and let THEM know that Obama is not a socialist.

And you better make it snappy - because they have already issued their endorsement of Obama for the 2012 election - just as they did in 2008.

Here Paul, let me save you a bit of trouble - you can read about The Communist Party USA and their repeated endorsement of Obama here:

http://azpundit.com/congrats-c.....-election/

And you can read about the support for Obama of the Democratic Socialist Party here:

http://keywiki.org/index.php/B.....nd_the_DSA

Now this is no suprise to some of us. Because some of us are aware that both groups also supported him in 2008.

Obama is not a socialist? Wow. Both of these parties are making a serious error then by supporting Obama. So step it up Paul, and give it all you've got. Don't waste your time on "retards" here - head on over to the big dogs field and let THEM know Obama is "not a socialist".

Paul| 5.12.12 @ 1:18PM

My tone is particularly short with you because all your arguments have already been refuted on this very thread. Only an imbecile would write what you did. Now I'm going to refute your points one by one in as few words as possible.

Obama's disdain for the constitution: I agree, his behavior is almost as extra-judicial as Bush's. He hasn't set up a torture program like Bush did, but he has assassinated 2 Americans without due process. But you specifically mentioned the 2nd amendment. Obama has done nothing to thwart the 2nd amendent.

Obama's desire to DESTROY CAPITALISM through redistribution of wealth: The tax rates on the wealthy are the lowest in our history. The top tier when Eisenhower was president was in the 90 percentile. If the current rates make Obama a communist, what do the rates during the 50s make Eisenhower? Face it, Obama has done very little to redistribute wealth, and if what he has done makes him a socialist, then there is no word too socialisticly-sounding to describe Eisenhower.

"National Civilian Security Force": When something actually happens with this, let me know. Until then, I'll put it in the same category as the black helicopters you all used to whine about in the Clinton days.

Al Mansour: By mentioning him, I take it you realized it's impossible to focus on things Obama has actually done and prove he's a socialist that way, and that instead you need to attempt guilt by association. You make my point for me.

Telling the American Communist and Socialist Party that Obama is not a socialist: They already are very well aware of this, dipshit. That's very clear from the statement you linked to. Says the Communists: "It is obvious that there is a growing feeling of frustration and even anger among supporters of the Democratic Party with its performance over the past two years." You should have read that first. They've chosen to support Obama over Romney as a lesser of two evils, not because Obama is one of their comrades.

So, to sum up, I asked you to show us some actual examples of Obama performing true acts of communism, and by your response you say that you've got nuthin. Like the rest of the dipshits on this site, you will now abandon the thread and nurse your ego. And you'll make sure and say that Obama is a socialist even though you now know it isn't true.

I remember when republicans used to have intellectual integrity. I miss those days.

Silent Dragon| 5.12.12 @ 5:49PM

Paul:
I remember when I was reading just a little bit ago the comments here.
I remember when I got to this point that there was a dictionary definition of communism that said communism was a politics based on class warfare or something like that.
I remember when I remembered this I checked a dictionary myself and found out it was true.
I remember when reading the definition was true it reminded me I had also read something about a link to somewhere where about you.
I remember when I remembered that I went to it.
I remember when I went to it and read a bunch of your comments that it was obvious you don't have any intellectual integrity at all.
Did you miss those or don't you remember?

Paul| 5.12.12 @ 5:57PM

Seriously? I refute every single point you make, and all you can manage to stammer back is some insipid set of sentences all beginning with "I remember?"

If that were me, and my worldview had been entirely trashed, I would have simply said nothing rather than demonstrate the point.

Silent Dragon| 5.13.12 @ 6:04PM

1- In fact you did not refute a single point I made you loser turd.
2- In fact I repeated "I remember" to make fun of you being a loser turd for using it to say you remember republicans having "intellectual integrity" you loser turd.
3- In fact I was making fun of a loser turd like you because you were "entirely trashed" by those posts and that link for not having any "intellectual integrity" you loser turd.
4-In fact "I remember" you were "entirely trashed" because you are a loser turd and don't have the "intellectual integrity" to know Marxists and Communists from loser turds.
5- In fact "I remember" "entirely trashing" you only because of those posts and that link that "entirely trashed" loser turd.
6- In fact you are so "entirely trashed" you loser turd because you "insipidly" can't tell the difference between a "Tiger" and a "Dragon" because you have no "intellectual integrity" because you are "insipid" and "entirely trashed" because you are a loser turd.
7- In fact "I remember" to flush "insipid" "entirely trashed" loser turds to the like you every time to get rid of you.

Wince!! It pains me to see someone make an ass of themselves like that.

So you know, the only thing of substance you wrote above - interspersed between silly repetitions of "in fact" and "loser turd" - was to deny that I had refuted all of your points, a fact that any sentient being can confirm just by scrolling up a bit. Abject denial of irrefutable fact, and otherwise meaningless rantings. If your purpose in commenting on this thread was NOT to provide an example of yet another republican who is ill-equipped to deal with reality, you might want to sit down and ponder what went wrong.

You loser turd didn't refute one point "Hidden Dragon" made you loser turd.

You loser turd still don't get "Hidden Dragon" is not "Hidden Tiger" you loser turd.

You loser turd didn't even refute one point made by "Hidden Tiger" you loser turd.

You loser turd didn't refute one point made by anything entirely trashing you loser turd for anything "any sentient being can confirm by scrolling up a bit" you loser turd.

Look, I've addressed every single substantial claim you've made and now they've all been refuted. If you have a problem with that, address what I wrote when I refuted them. If you can't address that, then pipe down and ponder why you lost this debate. But to prattle on like an imbecile is in very bad form. I'm embarrassed for you.

OK, I see you've abandoned any attempts to be coherent. Bizarrely, you've changed your screen name to Hidden Dragon, and are referring to your past screen name Silent Dragon in 3rd person as Hidden Tiger. I gather this was caused by the cognitive dissonance you feel at having all your points shown to be bullshit while you are at a complete loss to do anything about it. Why you linked over to a past thread where your fellow compatriots also got a thrashing can probably not be explained by anyone.

My work is done here. Until another imbecile says another substantial piece of nonsense, I'll leave you to twist in the wind.

By "them," I assume you mean republicans who are to the left of Obama. That list is vast, so I'll isolate it to presidents for now:

1) George HW Bush: Understood that reducing a budget shortfall in a modern economy generally must include raising taxes. Understood that simply reducing the capital gains tax is merely a giveaway to billionaires that does little or nothing to shore up the issues affecting society at large. Expanded civil liberties through signing the American Disabilities Act. Signed the Clean Air Act, a major environmental policy.

2) Richard Nixon: Started the EPA, and was the first president to openly discuss environmental policy. Supported the Clean Air Act, OSHA and the National Environmental Policy Act.

Based on your comments so far, I gather that you lack the resources to marshall facts and logic to mount a coherent argument, and that your next response will be a single-sentence snippet of stupidity. Feel free to prove me wrong.

You seem to be of the ilk that believes Obama is a crazy socialist that would make Che Guevara pause and say "Daaaammmn!" So please lay it on me: what has Obama actually DONE (not said, not pretended to do, not rumored to have done, but actually DONE) to live up to that.

You haven't provided even a little. You haven't provided any names. You show no sign of any intellectual integrity. The only thing you've provided is proof that your intellectual integrity has been entirely trashed without any help from anyone else.

Take some time while you can to take the comfort provided by the modern communist centrist who approves of your sexuality the few short months left any rational political observer sees he will be at all relevant while you're fantasizing about Che.

Paul| 5.17.12 @ 1:42PM

I...see. I provided no names. (George Bush and Richard Nixon apparently are not names but...something else.)

Meanwhile, you completely failed at showing what makes Obama a communist. You didn't even try. That's because you realize you have nothing to show. But I expect you're going to rip off my words (prattling on about intellectual integrity of which you've shown none) while actually saying nothing of substance. Feel free to continue denying what any literate human can read for himself on this very page. I get a kick out of that.

Next, you have to pretend that I'm gay, because as I recall back when I was in 4th grade, that's a real zinger when you have nothing better to say.

In total, your contribution here has provided a textbook case of someone whose worldview is not reflected in reality and who therefore has to rely wholly on denial and obfuscation in order to convince himself (and no one else) that he's not an idiot. These are the kinds of responses I'm used to from republicans. It doesn't portray you guys in a great light, but what to do?

Just a reality check while you're flailing:

It's true. I haven't provided a single name, because as we both know, Richard Nixon and George Bush are not actually names but regular nouns. (See, I'm trying to speak idiotese so you'll understand me better, so give me some credit.)

Now, skim back up the thread and consider what you have provided. You have adequately demonstrated your command of the copy-and-paste functionality of your computer by copying my statement over and over. That's more than your average republican can do, so you should be proud. You've asked me questions. You've suggested that I'm gay. You've engaged in denial. That's about it.
