How can you be sure it’s an improbable scenario? It’s no secret that Obama is the most liberal socialist in the Senate. His voting record proves it. I imagine any country pushing communism would take what they can get no matter the skin color.

Maybe it’s not as you say, “people unwilling to accept a black candidate” but more to the point not willing to accept a person as president just because he is black. Except for the white guilt crowd that’s not a qualification. As I don’t suffer from that affliction Obama’s incompetence and deceptive nature is more the issue.

Stupid propaganda from people unwilling to accept a black candidate.

Capitalism was never said to work in an unregulated form. It only suggests that business works best, both for itself and the consumer, in the long run, when the threat of force is removed from business decisions. The source of these threats, be they criminals or Government regulators, is irrelevant. The flaw in capitalist theory is that it assumes an informed and interested consumer. Thus, like all the big, general social-economic ideas, capitalism, socialism, and communism are trumped by stupidity. On the other hand, as history shows, capitalism requires less restrictions on individual freedom to function in a modified form that the other contenders. For that matter, with the current exception of China and their capitalist-communist hybrid experiment, the other communist and socialist experiments have all proved to be failures. The only proven successful social/government mix we have evidence for is the limited government – loosely regulated capitalist form we had before the New Deal.

Hi LC,

Good post.

Socialism only works in theory, but never in practice. This means Marx’s socialist ideas are flawed and incorrect. Therefore, it’s not a great leap to also discount the idea that Socialism is a natural evolution of Capitalism.

Marx seems to have been wrong quite a bit. For Obama to follow the teachings of Marx means he will be just as wrong.

My post was fairly short. Basically, it looks as though the Husseins long for global communism. Those, my friend, are the changes they must have in mind.

You usually have to pry power from their cold dead hand. Maybe that’s one of the changes Obama has in mind?

I look forward to reading your take on the Global Poverty Act.

Will we discover the real Obama before it’s too late?

Let’s hope so LC. I just did a quick post that’ll be coming out later this afternoon on that $845 Billion Global Poverty Act.

Do you know of any communists who were willing to leave office without being forced to do so? Makes me nervous to say the least.
