I just keep hearing about how China is kicking our butt. Why don't we beat them at their own game? Let's become even bigger communists then they are and turn the tables? Why. This has nothing to do with communism or democracy...it's all about capitalism does not require democracy. There is no doubt that China is a capitalist economy with an authoritarian government.

Yes, the bull market and record coporate profits are proof positive. And how about those numbers the Socialist Party is putting up every election ? This could be the year for them. When that socialist healthcare mandate to buy health insurance is in place,the shadow government will come out of the shadows.

From the (sad attempt at) sarcasm, I see you do not understand the difference between "towards socialism" and full blown socialism.

Lots of things are easier, it doesn't mean you want to do it. And the Wizard of Oz called, he wants his strawman back. Um, if Huffington Post is frowned upon, that goes quintuple for American Thinker. It's mostly a collection of unsubstantiated right wing blogs. The last two I read contradicted themselves. China Average Salaries & Expenditures www.worldsalaries.org/china.shtmlYeah, just like a "good" capitalist country, the people on the "bottom" (average salary) make about $8K a year, while I'm sure those on top make much, much more. So, you wanna be like China, do ya champ? Tell your boss you only want to make $8K this year; I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige. Tell us how it goes, and I bet it won't be long that you'll gladly run down the "moronic" socialist route of better pay equity. And I'm sure you can put yourself under a more authoritarian sort of lifestyle if you love China so much. So remind me why you're an "independent" again? Ssshhh, you're letting facts get in the way of their rants, some of which hasn't really changed since 2008. I see you're pulling out your sad attempts at self declared victories. That "spin and win" routine is getting old. Hint: prove it. Maybe we're tired of doing your homework for you? I and other people have listed/linked them before. How about pulling up your big boy panties and all you have to do is type something like "Obama"and "accomplishments." Wow, I did it and got 615,000 hits on Aol Search. The internet is your friend and all that.

Champ? Is there an actual point to your post other than to throw barbs? You completely fail to actually address anything I typed and simply move straight to a pathetic attempt to make this about me. Please point to where I said I love China. I'll wait. More complete misunderstanding of the simple word... towards. With such "great" comprehension skills this morning, did everybody forget to spring ahead?

Speaking of waiting for a list of Obama's accomplishments, I'm still waiting for a list of measures that shows Obama wanted "full blown" socialism.
Remember ... FULL BLOWN socialism, not merely giving companies like GM a federal loan or wanting to fix the health care debacle we still have going on in this nation. There may be elements of socialism involved, but it doesn't come anywhere near "full blown" socialism.

FULL BLOWN SOCIALISM = GOVERNMENT OVEREXTENDING INTO EVERY FACET OF OUR LIVES....Obama did in fact admit to the government being seen as overextending which is Poltical Speak for Full Blown Socialism....if you believe Glen Beck and Sean Hannity of course.....I will not mention Rush Limbaugh's comments for this term because I know his name will make you seriousy ill..

Obama, just happened to be unlucky enough to come to office after 8 horrible years of bush and problems are surfacing that have been kicked down the road for 20 years or more not just from bush. It was bound to happen that one day it couldn't be kicked further. And all we get from congress is obstructionism with none trying to solve the issues. The repubs were elected to deal with jobs and they are back on abortion and gay rights, say what? I'm not sure we have anyone who doesn't owe their fundraisers so much that they and the congress can effectively attack and fix it. My husband says we can vote in the people to fix it. I say there is really noone representing real people out her anymore like their used to be. And I can see is it deteriorating over the next 20 years with all money sucked to the top that the only answer may well be revolution. When a party takes all the rights like collective bargaining, and trying to take women back to the dark ages, then they will take more and more away until the people have no choice left. I never thought I would again see and hear situations for labor like there were in the last century and early 20th century, that the little guy would have no voice but the reps are going to make it so. We all know reforms need to be made but that's not what they want, the reps want total control to be a one party system, they almost succeeded under bush and the destruction wrought is still with us. If there wasn't dissent among them because of their tea party members and they could control the vote like before we would be in even deeper caca. I wish some common sense would prevail in Washington but sadly it seems to have gone away. Obama is left with trying to herd cats. "Obama is left with trying to herd cats.[/quote]" I luv it, and watching the talking heads , the Congress, both sides , their rhetoric..yadda, yadda, the tears, the proclamations, the dire threats of the Tea folks, the canned quotes , most having been said by the politico's before. I think the House and Senate have a room where they , "canned quotes " are all there to be looked up and when one of them is going to make a public pronouncement out side the Capital, White House lawn inn front , off to the side in back ground, ever notice how oftn thats done and these folks don't even live there, always seem to be a good spot, they first check in there , "room of canned quotes "and look up a few, tuck them away and sure enough, lights on, mike in front ....off they go. Your right ..herding cats. where is Papa when he is needed.
