But He's Not A Socialist

Really, he isn't, says (Dare we say it?) an authentic Socialist. As might be expected, this commie rat bastard is given space in the Liberal Bible of Washington to deny The Usurper's stealth socialism.

So stealthy it's virtually unobservable. Yes, the Prez is often referred to as "The Usurper" in Bizarro World commentary. In the real world? Not nearly as many such references. Which is dull, so to hell w/ so-called real life.  What does Billy Wharton have to say? 

Not only is he not a socialist, he may in fact not even be a liberal. Socialists understand him more as a hedge-fund Democrat -- one of a generation of neoliberal politicians firmly committed to free-market policies. [...] [H]is administration is avoiding structural changes to the financial system. [...] Socialists support nationalization and see it as a means of creating a banking system that acts like a highly regulated public utility. The banks would then cease to be sinkholes for public funds or financial versions of casinos and would become essential to reenergizing productive sectors of the economy.

Best idea this reporter has heard since losing 18 yrs. of his life as a wage-slave in the banking industry. We'd like to see all the "productive, bill-paying" Americans (the real ones) given the opportunities to start, or perhaps "purchase," Joe the Plunger style, an already going concern, & put their Heartland small business drive & entrepreneurial job-creating spunk to work — thanks to Socialized banks! And the flame crash & burn of these start-ups, Amway schemes & worse scams would be a joy  to watch as well. Not so enjoyable: post-bankruptcy wails of "Regulation! Bureaucrats! Not my fault!"

Yet the president remains "the world's best salesman of socialism," according to Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. DeMint encouraged supporters "to take to the streets to stop America's slide into socialism." Despite the fact that billions of dollars of public wealth are being transferred to private corporations, Huckabee still felt confident in proposing that "Lenin and Stalin would love" Obama's bank bailout plan.

All are welcome at the membership meetings.

My guess is that the president will avoid these questions, further confirming that he is not a socialist except, perhaps, in the imaginations of an odd assortment of conservatives. Yet as the unemployment lines grow longer, the food pantries emptier and health care scarcer, socialism may be poised for a comeback in America. The doors of our "socialist cubby-hole" are open to anyone, including Obama. I encourage him to stop by for one of our monthly membership meetings. Be sure to arrive early to get a seat -- we're more popular than ever lately.

We're not quite ready to hold our breath in anticipation. Fingers may be crossed.
