Is Obamacare Socialism or Fascism?
American Spectator, by David Catron

Original Article

As a general rule, I avoid “healthy” food whenever possible. I try to eat things with extra fat and lots of additives. (Snip) For a brief period this week, however, I was on the verge of bestowing my custom on Whole Foods Market, despite its deplorable policy of “selling the highest quality natural and organic products available.” Why? Because it seemed that the grocery chain’s CEO, John Mackey, was that elusive creature for whom Diogenes searched so fruitlessly — an honest man. Mackey is currently promoting his new book, Conscious Capitalism, and has therefore subjected himself

It´ more like Chinese style economic Communism. And in it depends what state you are in (e.g. 32oz soda rebels in New York).

Rather than a community organizer it turns out that this president is a community agitator.

Dividing the country into friends and enemies he has created a world unsafe for anyone.

My life has spaned 14 POTUS´. Obama is a "loose canon" or more perhaps like the proverbial loosed bull in a china shop ie,"anything he doesn´t break he ´executives orders´ on.
Socialism or Fascism,I´d say more like Hoolliganism. Like his recent separation of his campaingn funding from the DNC. That seems to be his way to not want to take any more directions or inputs from the DNC.

I think Obama is more fascist--really a wannabe dictator--than a socialist.
I think he spouts spreading the wealth, taxing the rich, etc., to increase his popular support and power.
He doesn´t care a whit about the poor or low-income people, except for their votes and how they can provide him support and power.
The blatant crony corruption and profiteering by Obama and his circle, the extravagant spending and vacations, demonstrate he is no socialist. He is pushing socialism to gain and maintain power.
He would issue an Executive Order making himself President-for-Life if he could get away with it. Who knows? He might try yet.

"Friends" on Facebook are boycotting. Yippee! Whole Foods is safe to shop now that elitists are going elsewhere! I´ve always loved the store, hated the attitudes.

Hitler anyone?

This is how it started in Germany in the mid thirties...it all sounds good to the morons then day by day it goes really bad and ends up with the round up an murder of those that don´t support der Furer!

Anyone that thinks Obama is a benevolent person needs to wake up. He is a hate monger that is out to destroy this country so he and his sycophants can rebuild it as a Communist State!

I´ve been pondering for the last week, what would have happened in Nazi Germany after all the Jews were gone? Who would Hitler have blamed for his failures? In Obama´s case, it appears he´s been successful in blaming his metaphorical Jews even after they´re gone.

The word "dictatorship" covers all those "isms".

Obamacare is definitely Fascist in the vein of Juan Peron. He recruited drug companies behind closed doors to help garner support for this monstrosity.

Why is it necessary to call it Fascism or Socialism? They are the same.

Wait! Wait! You are all wrong!

It is called Obamunism.

Socialism where he and the insiders made millions and Fascism where hundreds have already being murdered by the guns he supplied to drug cartels, millions to be killed when healthcare is denied.

In short he is a criminal like hitler, stalin, mao. He is being held back by all of our guns but given a chance he has the same mindset as any dictator.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Eheu Fugaces, 1/18/2013 10:11:06 AM     (No. 9124116)

Well, fascism is just ultra-nationalistic socialism. (Socialism means the government graciously allows some private ownership of the means of production, but directs every aspect of it.) Communism is Internationalist Socialism, carried to extremes. Since Obama is certainly no nationalist -- he despises this country -- and is certainly inclined toward extremes -- he and his crew are obviously communists.


Reply 17 - Posted by: skedaddle, 1/18/2013 10:55:34 AM     (No. 9124219)

I´m going to say 0bamacare is communist, right down to the dacha´s that 0bama and his favorites enjoy at our expense.

#10 - If Hitler ran out of Jews, he´d have made new Jews. Simply declared anybody making more than a quarter million RM a year to be a Jew.

Eric Holder versus journalism
Salon, by Alex Pareene    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/24/2013 10:19:23 AM     Post Reply
Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the warrant naming Fox News journalist James Rosen a “possible co-conspirator” in violation of the Espionage Act, Michael Isikoff reported yesterday. Which is sort of awkward, because Barack Obama also yesterday told the country (the whole country) that he didn’t want to criminalize reporting, and that he was going to ask his Justice Department to make sure not to do that anymore. Rosen wasn’t charged. In truth, the government never really intended on charging him. (Snip)That’s the scandal: That the government could charge a journalist with, effectively, spying, simply for reporting.

A Toxic Combination

Of all the scandals in his administration that President Obama knows nothing about, the one Americans find most appalling is the decision by the Internal Revenue Service to target the president’s political adversaries. What’s more, as subsequent congressional testimony has made clear, the IRS isn’t particularly repentant about its actions. One thing Republicans and Democrats should therefore be able to agree on is that this is no time to significantly expand the IRS’s power. Yet that is exactly what will happen under Obamacare if no action is taken. A simple proposal: Remove the IRS from any role

Rookie Florida Senator Marco Rubio continues to work tirelessly to get the United States to annex Mexico, though an exhaustive (and exhausting) search of his 2010 election campaign reveals no promises to do, nor even a mention that he might consider doing such an outlandish thing. Au the contraire, the pre-election Rubio said all the right things about line-cutters and lawbreakers. That’s one of the reasons he’s a senator today. There are only two sure consequences of the current 800-page immigration hairball before Congress. The first is that a minimum of 11 million citizens of other countries, more Mexicans

   

 



 
President Obama dreamily wants
to scale back the war on terror
New York Daily News, by Editorial    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/24/2013 6:04:56 AM     Post Reply
President Obama declared on Thursday that it’s time for the U.S. to leave behind the global war on terror. He might first try convincing America’s war-waging global enemies to do the same. Almost a dozen years after 9/11, the President wishfully hopes to demilitarize national security in the age of Islamist radicalism. He judges the country ready for such a step because a long fight has markedly degraded the attacking capacities of Al Qaeda and affiliates. Even so, Obama dared not utter the word victory in his address at the National Defense University, because plainly the hostiles are still coming

The Mystery of the Queens Accountant
Held for $3 Million for 32 Days

In a strange true-life story that seems ripped from TV crime drama (rather than the other way around), a New York City man was kidnapped and held for ransom for over a month, before the NYPD rescued him this week. Pedro Portugal was grabbed off the street in broad daylight on April 18, and held hostage in a Queens warehouse (pictured above) while a group of men attempted to extract a $3 million ransom from his family in Ecuador. Police in both countries (with the help of the State Department) tracked down the kidnappers,

Obama Asks Staff to

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”

O ‘ends’ terror war
New York Post, by John Podhoretz    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/24/2013 5:28:38 AM     Post Reply
Amid catcalls from a Leftist heckler too blitheringly stupid to understand her dream was coming true, President Obama yesterday declared his intention to end the War on Terror — not quite 12 years since the 9/11 attacks. In what may have been the most important speech of his presidency, Obama said he would ask Congress to join him in efforts to “refine, and ultimately repeal,” the Authorization to Use Military Force passed three days after 9/11. In other words, he intends to write the War on Terror out of US law. “This war, like all wars, must end,” he said.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
