If Obama is a socialist dictator, he's going about it wrong.
Obviously you skipped your high school education regarding government and world politics. I was lucky. I wasn't a resident of Mississippi or any other conservative, southern state.
FACTThe government sector has slashed jobs steadily since the recession, shrinking government payrolls to their lowest level in eight years.
At this rate, there won't be enough people to run the FEMA camps.
FACT]Under George Bush, the government grew by 4 percent. If it had grown at the same rate during Obama's first term -- which, we should note, included the same two wars Bush started, along with the worst recession since the Great Depression -- then the government sector would have been 2 million jobs bigger by the end of Obama's first term in January.
Pay attention to this republicanchick:
That 2-million-job number just happens to gibe with academic studies suggesting pointless and destructive austerity measures have cost the U.S. about 2 million jobs since the recession.
Yep, worst socialist dictatorship ever.

I belive it is fair to question whether the U.S.l government should have bigger powers.
Careful readers of American history show us that the U.S. has, to its credit, has debated this since it first began.
But, hey, republicanchick:
But let’s be clear about how frightening socialism actually could be.
***Marx wanted to wipeout inequality and Lenin wanted a classless society.
***But facts and evidence set in, as they always do. And the results were devastating.
***Russia's streets turned bloody and the bloodlood flowed.
*** The Soviet elite took away all privileges. The wealthy were allowed some and the lower class none.
***The entire Eastern region, including Czechoslovakia, failed miserably.
I’m not sure you appreciate quite how predatory socialism was. It was not--as republicanchick and Obama’s other detractors suggest--a government so centralized and bloated that it hobbled private enterprise.
it was a spoils system that killed off everything, all in the name of "social justice."
What do I want?
What we need is not to strive for a perfect social justice--which never existed and never will--but for social harmony.
Musical harmony is soothing and exhilarating. The different players and instruments perform together.melody.
Today, our democracy, a miraculous gathering of diverse players, desperately needs such unity. If all participants play fair and strive for the common good, we can achieve a harmony that eluded the doctrinaire socialist projects. But if just one section, or even one player, is out of tune, the music will disintegrate into madness and vitriol.
I am not asking Mr. Obama and the Republican leaders to stop playing instruments of their choosing.
I am asking republicanchick every other citizen to keep in mind the song of our country.
People like her seem to enjoy being a suicide bomber in our politics.
The shock and noisy dissonance might just become loud enough to wake another Karl Marx.
Or worse.

I don't think it is. I think it is a common experience for those who have no absolute commitment to truth/honesty

Oh I wouldn't say I missed it.
But I rarely read her.
I'm going to go out on a really strong limb here and suggest you haven't studied human psychology on the point and have no experience with memory and how it degrades over time with a great many people.
Heck, you should see how it does when you're examining witnesses to a fairly recent event where you know the people you're talking to were all literally witnesses to the event. It's a bit like the old Chinese Whispers game of passing a secret from classmate to classmate and hearing the last person in line and how the initial message has distorted.
Honest people frequently look like liars in the right circumstance.

oh, 4 SURE!
that one totally hit home
and no, there is absolutely NO sarcasm here.. You hit on a great truth.. one I have learned the hard way.. and will continue to learn...
for one thing, many people just CAN'T wait to catch you in a lie or what even LOOKS like it MIGHT be or COULD be a lie...

Happens in courtrooms a great deal. That's why lawyers prepare their clients on how to answer and when to be silent and how to comport themselves. Some completely human reactions to having an outrageous charge set against you, by way of example, will cause you to react in a way that will actually do you and your testimony damage.

FOX "news" talking heads have been singing the praises of Jordan's King Abdullah II since his country stepped up its attacks on ISIS after the militant group burned one of its pilots alive.
...And FOX commentators even suggested that President Barack Obama hasn't shown the same resolve.
What they are saying is "Why can't Obama be like this Muslim king?"
HASN'T THIS BEEN THEIR PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ABOUT OBAMA ????

--Tell me please what is hateful about clarifying an incorrect posting by you that said that all who listen to FOX who are liberals are ungodly?
--My grandmother is a pure liberal and watches FOX. Is she ungodly?
--Show me also what is hateful about asking about you and your family of origin?
And by the way, if you would be willing to show me how I can ask these questions to you without provoking your anger and upset, please feel free.
I am always on the lookout for better ways to communicate my thoughts and ideas. I need criticism from others. Other people's reactions and suggestions are the best way for me to learn to start working on real change.
