    Are you ready for Socialism?
    Because I certainly am not but. That is certainly where we are headed though. Obama or as I like to call him
    One
    Big
    Awful
    Mistake
    America

    Is slowly trying to change the constitution and change out country into a socialistic society. Apparently we do not learn from our mistakes. Socialism does not work on any level and no one does anything about it. Why? Because Americans today are uneducated they only listen to overbearring liberal media that only presents what they want. They listen to polls that are largely taken in New York because of "diversity"(ha). I do not want to rant about our corrupted society, media and government. I simply want to ask if you've braced y ourselves and are ready for socialism because that is what it is heading towards.

    We've had socialism for years -- Social Security, income taxes, Medicare. How on earth has he tried to change the Constitution? Are you going to cash and spend your stimulus checks?

    Because that is what conservative talk shows (or rather "independant" talk shows... that's what they like to call themselves) have been saying for the last month... that "Obama wants to make the US socialist" with no real backup or examples.

    The only example that gets tossed around is that he wants to tax the rich more... when in reality he is simply allowing a Bush tax cut for the rich to expire and go back to the 2002 levels. There was a 4.9% tax cut for the highest income bracket under Bush and it was set to expire in 2010 or 2011 (I don't recall) he will simply allow it to expire

    I have been warning people of this for the past 35 years and they all say I am crazy

    I call him Obamanation. He is a puppet for George Sorros though.

    It is going to get worse by 2015. People will still refuse to see it even when we are in the midst of the worst of it.

    I just pray that I somehow by God don't end up in the Fema reprogram camp.

    I think with very little modifications I could add the devil onto that flow chart... what a bunch of crap.

    Yes the New Party endorsed Barack Obama but his campaign manager, back in 1996 and again today, said this was not an endorsement they sought... but once again lets ignore facts so we can make an interesting headline...
