Bullshit. Sharpton misspoke. Socialism is what it is, irrespective of what you, Sharpton or anyone else says it is. Obama's objectives do not arc over into socialism as the word is actually defined. The second and third snippets are neither here nor there. Reference to "control" refers to the administrative challenge of such a large undertaking and you know it. That was the correct context and you know it. Any other interpretation is entirely baseless. As for the "neighborly" part, I'm beginning to see why you have a problem with that. You're just cherry picking. No pie for you.
What's bullshit is your understanding and/or motives. The definition you posted is not only inaccurate; it also conflicts with the very first definition below it from Encyclopedia Britannica which describes what's going on now. To say that Obamacare is not socialist is stupid at best. Sharpton didn't misspeak, he slipped... so did Dingle and YOU know it. And for your information, charity is neighborly -- not government confiscation and redistribution of wealth. Are you for socialism because you're too incompetent to stand on your own two feet?
Expanding = Mandatory purchase of a commercial product For our friends here that take umbrage with opponents using the term "socialism", would "fascism" be more appropriate ? What other form of citizen "inactivity" will the Obama juggernaut endeavor to forcibly turn into mandatory activity ? This concept of forced commercial activity is obscene, and seems to be unconstitutional.
dude won't reply to such a straight forward question... The success of llberal radio suffers from the same effect. You get two liberals together voicing their opinions, both will walk away disgusted. RangeBar is frightened by the prospect of reading his own goals.
Feenix, You mentioned in the Limbaugh/Jerry thread that you are currently addicted to many substances. I'm curious as to what they might be?
alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, internet, and chicken skin .. although, I could quit any one at the drop of a hat (and if health care is free, and drugs are legal and plentiful .. who knows) (oh, I excluded, gambling ... ) I'd include sex ... but shiit , I aint got that kind of pull
LOL..I'm surprised you're not a pot fiend. You are in the SF Valley right? Or am I mistaking you for someone else. Vineland and Victory is a place where you might make some friends that could chill you out a bit.
