[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 905820, member: 7966"] Because it is inflammatory, political rhetoric. That is the nature of the Current Events Forum. No post on here is supposed to be taken seriously but rather to generate strong emotional responses. Don't come to Current Events if you desire meaningful, rational and logical conversation with posters taking the time to present their arguments in a thoughtful, logical manner although there are some responses and posts that do fit this criteria. It is a place where people come to throw barbs back and forth with very little dialogue or thoughtful responses. Now, for the real reason I posted, is because I do think Obama is a Socialist in the manner that West European government leaders that call them selves Socialists. They take pride in this descriptive label (as does Bernie Sanders -the Senator from Vermont). Even though these people call themselves Socialists, perhaps the best phrase to use is Democratic Socialist. Every time I call or refer to Obama as a Socialist, Democratic Socialist, or a Capitalistic Socialist, I get these Obama apologists on here saying I'm stupid, I'm ignorant, I don't know what I'm talking about. So I took the time to lay out the logic as to why I refer to Obama as a Socialist. Perhaps a Democratic Socialist would be more correct and that was part of the reason for this thread - "what to call Obama that describes his tendencies towards the West European Socialist Democracies". And BTW, I don't totally disagree with the all of the Social Programs prevalent in West European Democracies and not even National Healthcare program here in the US. The big question is how does the government pay for all these Social programs. Do you have a word or phrase that would describe Obama's tendency and actions to recreate (CHANGE) the US to resemble the West European Democratic Socialist governments? [/QUOTE]
