You cannot be communist and socialist at the same time. Please pick one or the other and THEN build your case, with the same speculation, fantasy and innuendo. I don't support him, I also don't support any of the other idiots up there.

Nikita Khrushchev once said that Socialism Progresses to Communism. Coming from a hard core Communist, not much difference between the two.

Still, you cannot be both at once.

Actually Reagan did contact Khomeini. The message was short and sweet. Reagan told him, "Listen, asshole, if I win this election, and it's a good bet I will, you will have 20 minutes to release all hostages alive and well or we're gonna turn your fu*king nation into a glass parking lot." :mrgreen:

What adjectives would you use to describe:
Fast and Furious and its coverup,
Benghazi: DELIBERATE false tales by Obama and Amb Rice for several weeks after they knew the truth- and the loss of 4 Americans without any effort to help- and "What difference does it make" by Hillary

IRS Illegal targeting of conservative groups - (still no approval on most) in support of Obama's re election.

Obamacare-the DELIBERATE "mistakes" of telling everyone that they could keep their policies and Drs in order to pass an income redistribution system.

The Unnecessary/deliberate closing of the War Memorials to Vets during the govt shutdown as political punishment. and barricading the roads so national monuments could not be viewed?

And all of these, Obama knew nothing until he read it in the paper..Right!

Let's see; I'm gonna try to describe it differently for you...Nice doesn't quite fit, let's try patriotic, no, not that one either.....Great, Wonderful, Caring, .... (You come up with some to describe these acts for me, OK? , or, Can we just say "he didn't know", would that work?)

Further, this is not about Obama as a person, it is about the acts being perpetrated, (which is an ongoing process, if you haven't noticed) in order to "transform" this nation as Barack Obama promised. If you just "go along", get ready for a Nanny state, or WORSE.

What is tiresome is that this administration seems to always get away with all of these with no consequenses and no one held accountable, and many other persons who seem to be saying, Move on, nothing here! (some in these political forums)
You need to remember that you too are going with the rest of us citizens if and/or when we go..

Come on, you can not get away with making such a incriminating post, without providing details and documentation (and Time Magazine don't count as being authoritative)----and Reagan would not have done that as the "behind the scene" worker bees always operate independently to prevent such issues being attributed to those running for office. And, why now, after so many years have passed and the principles are dead and records are "who knows where"? This is a scam just to take our focus off of the real issues at hand. And for the "believers", what if Reagan had said, "Release those prisoners on so and so date, else when I get in office I shall "turn one of your major cities into a free standing "parking lot"?

Don DeHoff

Why such a question? Do you forward the names to FEMA so they can make reservations at one of their "Summer camps"?

Ipnmajor,
Your comment is apparently just an attempt to obfuscate and ignore/hide the fact that Barack Obama had an upbringing by persons who were devoted to Socialism or Communism and he wrote in his book that when he was in College he sought out those persons with those views also.
To be clear, a person can put this nation on the path to both socialism and communism, the PATH IS THE SAME, you just get to socialism first as a precursor to communism. In my opinion, True Communism is not sustainable and could not survive for any appreciable time as the sole political system because of human nature. It would devolve into a Socialist State like North Korea. (COMMUNIST North Korea is a misnomer).

In the words of Hillary Clinton, "What difference does it make" (whether we call it socialism or communism), both require a strong central authority (or anarchy) that has the power to take anything they wish and do with it whatever they wish, the individual has one option; the "right " to comply with the government edict.

For my part, I believe in individual freedoms, I believe that is what provided the incentive to make this great country prosperous in the past, to which all the rest of the world wanted to immigrate.

The country can become prosperous again if we can go back to true capitalism/free enterprise with its incentives and with only limited government intervention.
We are rapidly losing those freedoms with this administration,and approaching Crony Capitalism (government and business collusion such as Obamacare law and the insurance industry-that is not going to turn out well).

Government control is what Obama meant when he promised "Total Transformation" when he was elected the first time. Were you listening, just not hearing?

I'd use none. These issues have been debated to death. Nothing has changed. There is no new information. Endlessly harping on old and over with material changes nothing. You sound like an old women constantly updating her husbands faults and going through the list every single time! Give it a rest.

So much fascist bullshit and never any truth from those on the right. Being anti-American is all they have.

Now come on, if you're rich and come from the right family, America is still the "land of the free". Why complain? We simply are not as valuable as they are and certainly don't have enough monopoly money ( stocks/bonds) to support them so, we have to go.
Welcome to the ununited states.

Thank you, kind sir.

Mmmm, and you have no reason to suspect that the sources you cite might not be telling the whole truth?

How does what Obama is doing now tie in with what happened then?

The caption on your avatar says "Grasping at Straws". Is that what you're doing?

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

They want others to do everything else for them; why shouldn't thinking be included?

Phase One: Socialism, Phase Two: Communism according to the Communist Manifesto of Carl Marx. Terms have been used interchangeably for a long time now. No one has ever been able to maintain a pure communism ( although the early Christian church tried a form of it successfully for a little while. Then came Annanias and Sapphira ) because for it to be successful human nature - grasping, selfish and ambitious - would have to do a complete 180.
