Pardon my misunderstanding of Webster’s definition of socialism or a socialistic government (or any other references to the English language, that we use to teach our children), and indeed prescribe to as our primary source of understanding the basis of our communication with one another In the United States any knowledge that I have attained is amiss. I realize that it may be time consuming and in direct conflict with our media, if a comparison is made, by his own website for goals and agenda, one should be able to see the direct connection in regards to Obama and socialism. In these times of concern and fear of health care, financial crisis, and of our own distaste for paying what is considered excessive taxation, remember that none of these issues pertain to the basics of our Constitutional rights. The pursuit of happiness, the right to (no guarantees), just the ability to purse this fundamental right is our primary basis for a considered right. Taxation is rarely seen as fair by the bulk of payees, (Boston Tea Party) and that we can make an effort to correct. Yes, it does require effort on our part, but we choose not to pursue this avenue. Electing any leader who promises to end these problems and guarantee what the Constitution does not, should be considered circumspect at the least. Each of us must vote according to our beliefs and should do so, but whomever you vote for, remember this is the U.S. of America. Not England, Europe, Sweden, etc., or any other entity. We fought for our form of government; let us attempt to keep it should we follow in other nation’s forms of government. Ok, all who want to argue this take your shots. I ain’t scared (lol), of anything, except of socialism and spiders.

stinkerpants, I rarely if ever agree with you on anything, but your 12:14 a. post is the most honest, lets get back to reality, statement I have seen posted in at least 2 months.

Percy F., that was good.

The latest word from the S.A.P.'s wrinkled old white dude, whose wife makes $4.7 million and all the beer she can exchange for drugs, and the baby he needs to abort, Sarah, are really "plumbing" the depths of credulity to ask us to believe that the Great Ossification Party cares about the sick, the elderly, the poor, the homeless and children. Their records speak volumes in the S.A.P. They demand that the sick heal themselves, the elderly get out of the way, the poor to wait for Jesus, the homeless to keep moving, and children to just be seen and not heard. They have one redeeming feature: they oppose abortion. That will be their ultimate downfall. Like the legislator who brought his dog's new puppies to the office one day, and was asked what party they belonged to. He replied, "they were born Republicans, but then they opened their eyes and became Democrats." There is hope! Just not for the S.A.P. Thats the Say Anything Party.

Robin Hood, I mean Obama will save SS. He will rob from the middle class and give it to the lazy. Have no fear, Obama will save us all.

"High-income workers?" Slanted story. "Workers" are NEVER high-income. Does anyone know a "worker", as in "worker bee", who makes $250,000 or better a year? I bet you don't call him a "worker". I bet you call him boss.
