Why cant you address the issues like a man and not a child?

Please explain how temporary bail-outs to address an economic crisis equate to a permanent government take-over of all means of production in the interest of the workers....completely different goals.

Explain how health care reform with a significant reliance on the private sector is socialism....as opposed to a single payer, government subsidized system for all.

How is Obama's war in Afghanistan a socialist ideal when a socialist would call for the immediate closing of all U.S. military facilities at home and abroad.

A socialist would also demand the immediate withdrawal from NAFTA....have you seen that in the Obama/Democratic policy statements.

Socialists oppose the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO.....does Obama?

Explain how government environmental regulation is socialism....NOT government ownership of environmental resources as a socialist would support.

How is Obama's support of the Patriot Act representative of socialism?

I could go on...but address these first, please.

You are intentionally or ignorantly blurring the lines between socialism (as a political rather than economic ideology) and liberalism because they share a few common ideals -- workers rights to organize, civil rights and gender equity, consumer protections, etc -- in much the same manner that libertarians (at least those on the right) and conservatives share a few common ideals -- absolute gun rights, deportation of all illegal immigrants, industry self-regulation, etc.

Its a cheap trick and doesnt fly.
