Re: "Like YOU know "what it is"! Too funny." It's not just me, we both can know a certain amount of "what is" concerning his childhood and adult associations with communism/socialism/marxism, i.e at the very least he's had them. That's not debatable. I haven't pretended to have been a party to the conversations Obama has had with such folks in his life, and I've said I can only strongly suspect (for reasonably good reason) that there is a warm spot in his heart for such ideas, with his rather weak denials accounted for(i.e. distancing himself from "textbook" Marxism). Re: "You guys talking about Obama's "socialist" ways is such a joke" I gather that's just because you favor his socialist ways. That's fine, you are entitled. Yet whatever your views if you pretend socialism is not socialism, you become a joke yourself. Re: "you have no idea what has been going on in this country for the past 30 years" Presumptuously silly. I lived it in full adulthood. But you mean because I don't share your socialist views (and they would seem even redneckish views, from reading you) I have no idea what has been going on. In this, you are very closed-minded. There are other views which may actually be correct, rather than a socialist view. Re: "You saw what is going to happen at the FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE..." Yes, Barack says he is going to support a policy which is based in socialism again, which isn't really disputable. For what it's worth, what you quoted from the Taxation Explained in Beer bit has nothing to do with the fact that the math is correct. The math is enlightening for anyone of any persuasion who thinks the statistics spouted from each side of the tax debate are contradictory. The math shows plainly that both sides speak accurately. Re: "THEN GET THE FUCK OUT!!" You include a lot of ALL CAPS stuff containing ad hominem BULLSHIT of no value in argument. Anger and good sense often don't go together. You could take a pill.
