What does Obama's "socialism" look like?

"If they think he will turn the nation communist they won't vote for him"

That graph just shows the total absurdity of Obama's opponents calling him a "Socialist".

No. The fact that they drive on roads built by a socialist construct shows that absurdity. The fact that they send and receive letters through a socialist construct shows that absurdity.

The fact that they chant support for a military which receives its funding via a socialist construct shows that absurdity.

Is that why the U.S. highway system is name "Dwight D. Eisenhower"?
Highways and military are the only two things government should be involved in. Everything else they soil.

Okay, how about this "internet" thing? Or the "GPS" thing? The "International Space Station" thing? How about the "wastewater treatment" thing?

OH! I GOT IT!!! The "HOOVER" Dam!


You conservatives are hilarious. I'd love for you to give up, for one single day, anything that the government had a role in creating or maintaining. I'll let you use the roads and military... everything else is off limits.

Yes, I will prevent you from seeing traffic lights. The gov't installed them long after our first roads

The government makes space activities possible by taking money from the people and making it available to NASA and those who create gadgets for them.
It has not spit to do with the accomplishments achieved.
Private business gives the geniuses that create, a place and the tools for their accomplishments.
Government bogs down everything it touches. Bureaucratizes everything to a snails pace. Waste is rampant. The people are nothing more than victims of government. And that is already starting to multipy under this leftist government.

Do you know where most of NASA's best come from? The military. So they come from a government based job to another government based job. Where do you think the knowledge and technology to cover the skies in satellites comes from? Where does the work come from to build and launch them?

You don't wanna pay that part of your taxes? Fine. I want to see you make do without ANY of the benefits that have come from government funded research and labor. You think they're so bad at it, show me someone that's done it better. If private enterprise were so good, we'd be living on the Moon. Also last time I checked, there were no privately owned probes on the edge of the solar system.

Me? I want my "Faith Based Initiatives" money back. Show me what good THAT has done.

NASA's best may come from the military, but the gadgets are not created by them, they are "used" by them.
And of course no privately funded endeavor can compete with the unending flow of cash stolen by the government to fund it's program.
Government creates nothing but deficits.

Here's why:

Where is the profit in building a 363 foot rocket filled to the hilt with fuel and pointed to the moon with three people strapped to the top?

Where is the profit in sending an SUV sized probe costing millions on a 30 year trip to the edge of the solar system?

Where is the profit in driving an RC car on another planet?

Where's the profit in sending a probe to a planet whose atmospheric pressure will crush it within a half hour?


Any privately funded company can build a rocket comparable to the Saturn V. The reason they don't is there isn't enough money to be made in such a thing. How much money did the Apollo missions make? Spirit and Opportunity? Voyager, Pioneer, Viking, Cassini, or the Pluto Express? Were any of these missions profitable?

No. Of course not. That's not their purpose.

THAT is why there's a "sucking sound". The government does what private enterprise won't and what people can't because its either too expensive or not profitable. Stop thinking the government is a business.

No stated goal, just because. Brilliant. That does clarify for me why I trust private industry over government. They have a goal.

So, you're defending the government spending all that tax money just because they "have" a bottomless pit for resources. Good argument.

Obama's Socialism looks like a super-jetliner exploding in bright flames and black smoke. The name on the fuselage is 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'.:no:

It's mere fear mongering tactics, the GOP so loves to employ.



that's all it is.
