    I would like to give a simple example:
    You are a parent with 5 children. You have set some money aside for each of them. Would you take money from 4 of them and give it to ONE privileged one so he can have education, businesses, houses, boats, vacations, luxury life while your 4 other children will be with no education, no healthcare, no home, no money, no future?
    What kind of parent would that be? They trusted you to manage their finance and you distributed behind their back it in a VERY UNFAIR way benefiting only ONE OUT OF FIVE!

    Well the role of the government is to treat all the children of this great nation equally and with fairness and not benefiting the top 5% and forgetting the other 95%.........

    That s what republican have done ALWAYS and this time BUSH HAS DONE WORST that EVER. That s why we need a real CHANGE of this trickle down economic approach and McCain can now criticize Bush for political gain. Everyone knows his economy policies ARE THE SAME, his economy advisor and possible Treasure Secretary said we had a Mental recession and we were a bunch of whiners!
    What economic plan has McCain different than Bush s? THE SAME ONE!

    We need a CHANGE that is more than a borrowed SLOGAN!!!!

      The only CHANGE that you would get is the erosion of your Constitutional rights. Likely you 2nd Amendment rights woould be traded for a right to government mandated medical care.

        ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE IS ONLY HUMAN, SHOULD NOT BE HIJACKED BY A GROUP TO MAKE TRILLIONS AND 60K AMERICANS DYING EVERY YEAR FOR LACK OF IT!
        IT IS IMMORAL! AND IF THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY, FINE! SELL SHOES! BUT HUMAN LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS TO BE IN THE HANDS OF GREEDY PEOPLE...SORRY IT IS A MATTER OF HUMANITY!

    Obama represents a culture of extreme left wing liberals, with an agenda to reshape the American way of life. He has adopted a Niccolò Machiavelli."The Prince" attitude, justifying any means to achieve the end he desires. His represented positions, with respect to several critical issues, are not consistent with his historical stances, actions, or associations. He is a deceiver of the first class, with a golden mouth with which to fool the people, spewing out what ever will tickle their ears. This man is no patriot, he???s not even un-American, he???s anti-American. Beware Americans, what you see, is not what you???ll get.

      FAIRNESS IS FAIRNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      NO CORPORATE WELFARE, NO BAILOUTS, NO SUBSIDIES TO BIG BUSINESSES OR FARMERS OR INDUSTRIES, NO TAX BREAKS TO THE RICHES....AND THE LIST IS VERY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope the American way of life, is not coming to an end. If Barrack is elected, we will soon be a Marist Socialist Country like France. The only flag we will be able to salute, will be the white flag of surrender. What a sham that would be. What a waste of all the lives and treasures expended to preserve this great nation. I hope you liberal idiots are the first ones to lose your rights to shot off your blabber boxes. Cry me a river, then. What a potential tragedy.

    • Posted By: Democrat-Hillary @ 10/24/2008 11:33:51 AM

      THE END WOULD BE IF McCAIN WINS AND ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS A HEALTH PROBLEM (10 YEARS SURVIVAL RATE IS 36% IN HIS CASE!) AND WE HAVE PRESIDENT PALIN!!!!!!!!!

    HERE IS REAL FRAUD!!!! WHY YOU REPUBLICANS ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS?

    As Paul Nyden reports in the Charleston Gazette:
    Shelba Ketchum, a 69-year-old nurse retired from Thomas Memorial Hospital, described what happened Friday at the Putnam County Courthouse in Winfield.
    "I pushed buttons and they all came up Republican," she said. "I hit Obama and it switched to McCain. I am really concerned about that. If McCain wins, there was something wrong with the machines.
    "I asked them for a printout of my votes," Ketchum said. "But they said it was in the machine and I could not get it. I did not feel right when I left the courthouse. My son felt the same way.
    "I heard from some other people; they also had trouble. But no one in there knew how to fix it," said Ketchum, who is not related to Menis Ketchum, a Democratic Supreme Court candidate.
    Ketchum's son, Chris, said he had the same problem. And Bobbi Oates of Scott Depot said her vote for incumbent Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller was switched to GOP opponent Jay Wolfe.
    "I touched the one I wanted, Rockefeller, and the machine put a checkmark on the Republican instead," Oates said of her experience Thursday.

      ...because this is the comment thread about "History of the 'S' Bomb," and the use of the terms 'socialist' as it related to political battles.

      Perhaps you should take your caps-lock laden issue (a valid one, don't get me wrong) to the article in news week that talks about it rather than trying to write your own article in a thread that's perhaps peripherally related.

      ....just a thought.

    Come on, get real. This guy Obama, is a Marxist Socialist, groomed by leftist radicals in Chicago, to take this country down the road they have been advocating for years. He was tested and vetted in his role as a ???Community Organizer in the eighties, was found to be a gifted, charismatic and intelligent person. From that point on he has been nurtured, educated and groomed, to be the person we see before us today. His agenda is the same as Wrights, Ayers and Farrakhan. His political rhetoric is a smoke screen, to cover the true mission.
    I implore all Americans, of any race, of any color or creed, to look deeper into who this person is.

    • Posted By: Democrat-Hillary @ 10/24/2008 11:28:48 AM

      On Obama friends may influence his views or tell about ???judgment???...........
      Well you should ask McCain how palling with Gordon Liddy, Pastor Hagee, Keating five, Mustafa Abu Naba'a, Ali Jawad, Oliver North, John Singlaub and U.S. Council for World Freedom, Kemper Marley, Don Diamond, Marylin Shannon have shaped his views. And what does that say about his judgment.

      What about his association with segregationist senators and ex- KKK like Byrd, has that make him a segregationist as well?

      And what about Sarah and Todd Palin membership with Alaska Independence Party ??? the party of anti-American Joe Vogler What is Todd s influence as husband and shadow governor getting involved in her job and policies. And Sarah s friend Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll members of the AIP as well. What are their influences?

  • Posted By: apexmech @ 10/24/2008 11:28:02 AM

    Please, find out for yourself, what it is that Obama has subscribed to for the past 20 years. It???s not a matter of the ranting of Rev. Wright, but rather the doctrine, teachings and political implications of the theology.
    Look into the teachings of James Cone and Cornel West, and how they accepted and integrated the principals of Carl Marx into Black Theology.
    Black Liberation Theology is a makeover of the Marxist Liberation Theology that came from the Marxist party in Cuba after the revolution in the sixties, to offset the influence of the Catholic Church over the majority of the citizenry of that country.
    This theology is at the heart of the historical beliefs and associations of Barrack Obama.
    My conclusion is that this man is a Marxist Socialist, and has a hidden agenda, that is disguised by campaign rhetoric designed to fool the people.
    I would rather you came to your own well informed conclusions. I hope you will consider the theological proclamation for the ???Redistribution of Wealth??? and the denouncing of all Zionist influence in this country and of the state of Israel.

  • Posted By: apexmech @ 10/24/2008 11:26:48 AM

    Obama is no patriot. He's not even un-American. He's anti-American.
    The Black Liberation Theology he has subscribed to for over twenty years, bids the destruction of virtually every American Ideal that is responsible for making this country the greatest force for good, the world has ever known. It is his allegiance to this theology, that prevented him from wearing a flag pin, saluting the flag, and caused him to turn his back on the flag, when the National Anthem was played. He's a traitor.

    al-Mansour may have been a ???political godfather??? for Obama, responsible for promoting his entry to Harvard Law School and launching Obama???s political career by engineering his first autobiography, ???Dreams From My Father.???
    This is the smoking gun. Consider tyhe implications. Why would this Arab supporter of Hamas, fund a guy he didn't even know? On who's request? Find out. Don't be stupid.

    Take a moment, Google this name, Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tario Al-Mansour. Check out the connections. This is beyond belief. Truly fascinating.

  • Posted By: apexmech @ 10/24/2008 11:17:51 AM

    To demonstrate the connection of Obama to various radicals, especially his ties to Bill Aires, further investigation into whom, by what means and for what reason, sponsored his enrollment at Harvard (Khalid Al-Mansour). The record will illustrate that his further education was part of a grooming campaign, initiated by this radical group. The connections all fit the pattern. The actions all fit the pattern. This guy is exactly what he has been groomed to be under the tutelage of Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, and others. His true purpose; deceive the American public by a "change" rhetoric that morphs into what ever is politically expedient. He has been tremendously successful at persuading the far left wing of the Democratic Party, into believing that he is simply liberal like them. With this support and the very negative feelings with respect to the Bush administration, a large faction of voters, has had the wool pulled over their eyes. Fact is he is a radical with a secret agenda that is bent on the destruction of virtually all the values most Americans hold very dear. If elected, the destruction he will level on our democracy will be greater then ten thousand of Mr. Ayer???s bombs, wreak more havoc that ten million of Mr. Farrakhan???s militant Black Muslims, and loose a demonic force greater than even Mr. Wright might imagine.

    In almost every case, people associated with a particular faith or denomination of that faith, do so because they are comfortable with its tenants and teachings, and how it impacts their lives.

    Why would Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Black ( can???t say the M word here ) movement, admonish his young disciples to listen to Obama, because he is their Messiah? He must know the true intent of Obama???s heart hatred of Zionist and of Israel. Yet, the Obama campaign would tell us he is a friend to Israel. All these associates of Obama???s from Chicago, Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, Jesse Jackson, they all seem to know a different Obama. Most all these people have known him for more than fifteen years. Did he fool them, or is he trying to fool you?

  • Posted By: apexmech @ 10/24/2008 10:37:04 AM

    The term, ??? redistribution of wealth??? is a principal tenet of Marist Socialism. Black Liberation Theology, the so called Christian doctrine under which Obama has sat, and the philosophy he subscribes to, is pure and simple, a Marist orientated belief system. It comes from a theology developed in the sixties, by the Marxist regime of Cuba after the revolution. It was presented as a theology to displace the then predominate Catholic faith. It was designed to play to the feelings of a people that had been oppressed, and called for them to rise up against their oppressors. This Theology was adopted and enhanced by Dr. James Cone and Cornel West in the late sixties, as a vessel to organize the black community into a political force. It has been adopted as Gospel and preached by the likes of Reverend Wright, and even seeped into the more radical groups such as the Black (Mus??? Can???t use the M word here)Nation, under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan. Mr. Obama???s agenda, is founded in this Marist Socialist agenda. If allowed, he will take this nation into the pit of socialism.

      THERE IS WORST BLIND THAT THE ONE DO NOT WANT TO SEE........

      WE ARE ALREADY DISTRIBUTING WEALTH TO THE RICHEST, TO OIL COMPANIES, TO INSURANCE COMPANIES, TO PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.

      FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS 600 BILLIONS DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SHIFTED FROM THE BOTTOM 80% TO THE TOP 20%........

      TWO THIRDS OF US COMPANIES AND FOREIGN COMPANIES DO NOT (YES DO NOT) PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.................

      CORPORATE WELFARE IS A RE DISTRIBUTION OF MAIN STREET TO WEALTH STREET, WALMART ALONE RECEIVED 1 BILLION LAST YEAR.....

      DON T BE IGNORANT, DO YOUR RESEARCH, BUSH HAVE BEEN POURING ALL YOUR MONIES AND SWEAT INTO THE RICHEST OF RICHEST AND THAT IS NOT STINKY SOCIALISM?, THAT S WHAT YOU GET WHEN JOE PULL THE PLUG!

    Just look at who's calling this out; Barry Goldwater; and he said it to Johnson indicating that JFK was a weak man??? Goes to show you how the GOP actually think, and it's certainly not for the dare I say, REAL, American people!! MCCain talks about welfare, and as usual he is playing on words; as it says in the Constitution that certain things are done for the welfare of the American people. As usual, he will twist and turn anything to try and win!! And the bit about an all Dem gov is only bull. The Court, as we all know, is most Repub and will be for years to come. Also, please don't forget that it was an all GOP gov under Bush until the congressional of '06; but the Senate is still GOP in the majority!! Lies, lies, lies, is all MCCain knows!!!!!!!!

  • Posted By: theCelestrian @ 10/24/2008 11:05:34 AM

    Ah...so now everyone on the red and blue teams are talking about 'socialism' again. Fantastic. So let's get down to the nitty-gritty:

    Almost ALL of you are socialists of a degree.

    Don't believe me? Chances are if you're a republican / "conservative", you want more of our tax dollars to go to law enforcement, the military, and the "securing of our borders, language and culture" Those tax dollars come from everyone, even those who may not agree with those policies. Perhaps you're against gay marriage, even though gays/lesbians still have to pay taxes that go to the running of the bureaucracies that handle state marriage licenses (the only legal marriage documents in the US).

    That would be forced wealth redistribution,... a.k.a 'Socialism' as we seem to be defining it for this article.

    If you're a Democrat / "liberal", then chances are good that you "wide-sweeping social reform" where the government "takes care of people" and everyone has a "right" to healthcare, even though that requires others who may not want State-run healthcare to pay for it. Perhaps you also want to ensure that [X] programs are taught in public schools, even though it may fly in face of the religious beliefs of certain families, and they would rather not see their taxes go to such programs.

    That's also forced wealth redistribution.

    So it seems like the only *real* difference here, is which bureaucrats/programs you wish to force your fellow Americans to pay for. So *is* there really a difference between the Red Teams and Blue teams, and are *you* not by your very own definitions.....

    A SOCIALIST! (Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn)

      On CNN it was commented last week (last presidential debate week) that 80% of the bottom taxpayers lost 600 billions and the top 20% gained 600 billions. Is that a transfer of wealth or what. What Bush have done with his tax cut and now the 700 billions bailout, isn???t that a transfer of wealth?

      Cindy McCain is paying 28% taxes out of 4.2 Millions and people around the 200K are paying 33%-36%?. Can someone do the math here? Benefit to richest only?

    Observations:
    Apparently no Republican has ever needed any kind of government assistance.
    Apparently Republicans hold all of the jobs in this country because to listen to them all Dems (and only Dems)are standing in welfare and unemployment lines.
    Apparently there are no Republicans without health insurance and they all are able to pay for their health care.
    Apparently none of them give a hoot about our environment because only Dems are (in their words) "tree huggers".
    Apparently not one Repbulican has ever been faced with making a choice about an unwanted pregnancy. Of the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed legally in this country, apparently not one of those women were Rebulican. While I personally do not believe in abortion, I support choice wholeheartedly. Why do the Republicans throw the Pro-choice / Pro-Life issue up every chance they get. We have had a Republican administration 20 out of the past 28 years. If they truly were Pro-Life they had ample opportunity to change things.

    in line
