    Is Obama leading America toward Socialism

    If you watch Glen Beck, Bill O Reilly or Sean Hannity they are always preaching that Obamaism is leading the USA toward socialism. (These three commentators are the three most watched news programmes in the USA at the minute)

    They all cite that the government now controls a huge part of the Banking, Automobile sector and also trying to expanding government run healthcare and the fact that Obama associates with left leaning groups.

    So are they right, is Obama leading America toward Socialism?


    The three shows are on Fox News. If you have Sky Digital you can watch them at

    Glenn Beck-10pm (Irish time)
    The O Reilly Factor- 1am and 10am (Irish time)
    Hannity- 2am and 5am (Irish time)

    As much as the above three are hysterical, neocon c*nts, it's also true that Obama is indeed both a socialist and a mass immigrationist liberal at heart.

    And if California is anything to go by, that doesn't tend to work out very well. At all.

    "Multicultural" California ( soon to be majority hispanic ) will run out of money to pay state employees within 50 days.

    Bankrupt and balkanised? Now that's what I call "progressive".

    Oh my god, don't let them export their brain dead programming over here ffsake! Our population are not dumb enough to absorb it.

    State control does not equal socialism, anyone who knew ANYTHING about socialism would know this.

    Billo and Hannity and Rush do what they do because they know a large portion of Americans are retarded and are ripe for this kind of stuff, they do not believe a word of it they say it because it makes them a f u c k l o a d of moooonnnneey!.

    Obama is not a socialist, he's not even a Liberal.

    'Most of' might be a bit more accurate, alas.

    My own opinion is that, i dont believe that he is a Socialist.

    In terms of the three commentators i have outlined- O Reilly- who has been number one in the news ratings for about 6 years now- seems very conservative but atleast will point out when Obama does something good.

    Glenn Beck- Is crazy, he does a chart which shows Obamas Road to Socialism but what annoys me is that he doesnt know his history- he asserted once that Hitler was on the left- even though it was actually the right wing parties that put him in power and the leftist parties were ones who opposed Hitler. But what is worrying is that Beck is the Third most watched news show in America.

    Hannity- At least he says he is a Republican.
