His statement was so ridiculous I didn't realize others would actually think it had merit.  So for those of you reading this thread from Zuccatti Park, the following actions by the man you elected would be considered socialist:

-nationalizing Chrysler
-nationalizing General Motors
-individual healthcare mandate

Those are three pretty big ones.  And never mind the appointment of radicals throughout the administration and the left-wing social policies such as going to war against Arizona's attempt to bring order to immigration in the state.

Of course you'll respond with 'he's not a socialist, he's a fascist', but fascism is just another form of socialism.  And maybe Bush was that type of socialist too.  Who cares?  No one here is defending Bush.  He would be yours to defend.

What's pathetic is that anybody still believes socialism is a viable solution to anything.  Name one jurisdiction where socialism has done a better job than capitalism at elevating people out of poverty.  North Korea over South Korea?  East Germany over West Germany?  Sweden over Switzerland?  Pre-1980 China over present-day China?

Socialism enslaves, both figuratively (America's inner cities) and literally (USSR, Poland, Hungary etc. etc.).  How socialists sleep at night, having foisted such a soul-destroying forumulation on people, is beyond me.  They seem to think the world is their laboratory and we are just lab animals to be used in whatever evil experiment their minds can devise.
