Dick Morris has a piece at The Hill.com called, “Obama’s Leap to Socialism!“  Here’s a small portion:

“President Obama showed his hand this week when The New York Times wrote that he is considering converting the stock the government owns in our country’s banks from preferred stock, which it now holds, to common stock. This seemingly insignificant change is momentous. It means that the federal government will control all of the major banks and financial institutions in the nation. It means socialism….And whoever controls the banks controls the credit and, therefore, the economy. That’s called socialism.”

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has 89 or more scandals on it’s official duck scandals list, then it’s a socialist duck! ConservativeAmerican.org has been Leading the way Right with this issue as well.  We were using the socialist word to describe Obama before national critics and radio hosts began to do so consistently.  We’re glad it caught on.

The New York Times recently asked President Obama point-blank if he was a socialist, as conservatives like us have been calling him.  He gave one answer that he didn’t like, so he called the reporter back to change it.  You know, it’s hard to stay on talking points without that darn teleprompter!

From the NY TImes question, Are you a socialist?

“The answer would be no,” he said, laughing for a moment before defending his administration for “making some very tough choices” on the budget. When he called, he said he had been thinking about the question as he boarded the helicopter taking him back to the White House. He then dismissed the criticism, saying the large-scale government intervention in the markets and the expansion of social welfare programs had begun under his Republican predecessor.“I just think it’s clear by the time we got here, there already had been an enormous infusion of taxpayer money into the financial system,” said Mr. Obama, though he refused to refer to former President George W. Bush by name. “And the thing I constantly try to emphasize to people if that coming in, the market was doing fine, nobody would be happier than me to stay out of it.”

Listen to Obama’s own words call back to the NY Times’ Jeff Zeleny, by clicking here.

Obama says he didn’t think Jeff was serious in asking him if he was a socialist.  Obama fails to mention that he has massively increased the prescription drug plan he criticized Bush for.  He also failed to mention that he continues to put even more huge sums of taxpayer money into the financial system.  He even said he’s “been operating entirely in line with free market principles” and that people like us at ConservativeAmerican.org “can’t say the same.”  I beg your pardon?  This is another Obama tactic; he just makes things up out of thin air.  He has absolutely no facts or nothing to base that ridiculous assumption on, but he blurts it out and it gets reported as if it were true!

Fox News has a headline tonight asking “Are Obama’s Policies Ushering in Era of Socialism?“  For that question, I need one of those “easy buttons” they show on TV.  YES!

It’s about time that some of the main stream media start noticing that this guy is taking our nation down a  slippery slope into an anti-capitalist pool where all wealth is redistributed.   Now that Bailout II is law (if your keepting tabs its 1,487-Billion dollars so far!) Fox says “serious questions are being raised about whether all the government intervention is taking the country down the path to socialism.”  Need the Easy button again.

From Fox:

“A technical definition of socialism is that the government owns the production, it owns the factories or the plants or the businesses,” said Heather Boushey, a senior economist with the left-leaning Center for American Progress. “That’s not what’s happening here,” she added. “It’s not that the U.S. is buying up all the factories or businesses. What’s going on is we’re making investments to get the private sector back on track.”  Peter Morici, a University Maryland business professor, said the all of the government spending “runs counter to the basic idea of Jeffersonian democracy, that it’s the individual who knows best. The government is there to set up a framework for the individual to prosper, succeed and create wealth.” Morici said America is headed for a European-style social democracy of the 1970s. “A large state sector, some state ownership of enterprises, big enterprises like banks and automobile companies and a lot of inefficiency that goes with it,” he said. But Boushey disagreed. “We are looking at an economic crisis caused by the collapse of our financial sector,” she said. “If we don’t get people back to work, the problem will spiral out of control.” Critics warn that’s exactly what happened in Europe when it implemented socialist reforms, forcing unemployment into the double digits.”

We started talking about this socialism heading our way back in September.  We were on the fringe then.  People thought we were just right wing nuts.

By way of reminder, this is what we posted on September 19th, 2008:

What’s Next? Auto Bailout? Airline Bailout? -By Peter Andrew ConservativeAmerican.org

Sept 19, 2008

With daily announcements of the government taking over more and more of the economy, we are reminded of a line from one of the Star Wars movies.  The line was supposedly a slam on George W. Bush by critics who said he was into “imperialism” and wanted to take over the world with pre-emptive wars.  Do you remember it?

Only the “liberty” the Queen refers to apparently is capitalism.  So why are the wall street types offering the applause? Everyone is nervous about the economy, but is this the direction we want to head…where the government runs everything?

Or even this?

Amtrak Everything?  We cannot let the democrat-socialists and their fearless superhero leader Barack the Obaminable Snowed-man take us down this route folks.  Obama is no superhero.

Seems we called this one spot on. Interesting we used the Star Wars thing to make the point. As the radical Obama signed the porkulus bill today, his signature was met with “thunderous applause.”  What the heck are these people clapping for? Did they see the DOW drop almost 300 points after he signed this? Do they even know what they are clapping for? Did they read the stimulus bill? Even their elected representatives didn’t read this nonsense!!

This topic, this story is one reason why we say at ConservativeAmerican.org we are Leading the way Right. Five months later, national media outlets are opening their eyes and at least starting to discuss the true historic nature of Obama’s presidency: our nation’s first socialist President, Barack Hussein Obama.
