Obama wins

There really isn't universal health care under Obama's plan. Universal health insurance coverage is a different beast. Increased regulation isn't socialist. Regulation is required in a capitalist system to insure there's competition. Once a monopoly arises, all that "world peace" goes out the window.

Even Ron Paul, champion of the free market and hero of the bandwagon-riding political neophyte, mentioned that the government needs to play a role in making sure companies don't game the market by using deception.

People, for the love of all things, STOP POLARIZING SHIT. Free markets have been shown by history and stated by economists to be susceptible to boom/crash cycles and entities stifling competition. That may be fine for a market, but that's awful for a nation. Instilling rules to prevent that for the betterment of the nation is not socialist i.e. the FUCKING OPPOSITE END OF THE ECONOMIC SPECTRUM.

Do people even know what defines socialism? This is a serious question.
 
Amazon.com: No Contest: The Case Against Competition: Alfie Kohn: Books
While I don't agree with the majority of this book, it makes some interesting points on how protecting competition and preventing monopolies is yet another problem of government propoganda. The idea of competition in general is what creates this "only look out for ones self" attitude. Competition basically means that you can only suceed at someone else's failures. So in order to not fail, you must fuck everyone else over; and it is in large part the fault of our government for perpetuating this ideology.
How does the book explain Standard Oil? They were all for enlightened helping of their fellow man?

It would be worse...if we were Canada

I love it whenever people say that. It makes you guys sound like you're jealous of Canada, and you don't even seem to realize it. This image is further strengthened by the fact that this sentence is getting really popular in the lands of the rednecks.
 
Next Stalin? Serious? The Stalin who killed about 1,5 Million people?

Obama a socialist? Lol. Do you mean Communist or do you think he social? Do you even know what you are talking? Socialism is a wide term. Stalin, WTF.

Dont make yourself ridicolous.

Socialism is not a wide term:
Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

This is what Obama means to do by spreading the wealth, increasing high income taxes and giving his seal of approval to companies in the form of taxes.

All this will have to be regulated by the government. Jobs will be created in these regulating organs. So at first it will be great, because unemployment will decrease. Except that this money isn't created, it will have to be paid by those not working for the government.

Essays and books have been written on the subject. If you would like to educate yourself, you are free to do so, but something tells me you rather stick with your current beliefs. It's a lot easier. Call me a nut, call me ridiculous. I would have done the same 8 years ago. I have enjoyed education, but after that I have not stopped educating myself. When your imagination hits a wall, you resort to these kind of tactics. I am not offended. It's human nature.

Stalin is responsbile for 20 million deaths in his age. This is estimation is on the conservative side. He got into power the same way as Khomeini in Iran, Pol Pot in Indonesia, Hitler in Germany, Moa in China, Castro in Cuba.

Obama did not win because of his actions or his history. He won despite of them. He won because he has charisma and delivers fantastic speeches. Speeches which are built around a few keywords which are vague promises: Change, hope, wealth, a better America, a better World. Around these promises he states facts no one can deny. He associates these words with current troubles in America and fools everyone.

All the people listed above have had the same charisma, appeal and delivery of words. All of them shared another characteristic: Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Don't take my word for it. I'm not an expert in that field. But Sam Vaknin is.

Obama thrives on power and attention. And the cult of personality built around him gives him just that. If he cannot deliver on his promises people will turn away from him and he will resent them for it.

Mankind learns nothing from history.

"I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here, but we’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to struggle. We’re going to have to fight."
- Barack Hussein Obama in a speech for the voters in Virginia


"The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.

By the end of this year the victory of socialism will be greatly assured. Naturally there will be many struggles ahead and we must struggle hard."

- From the writings of Chairman Mao.

I am not an American, but unlike most Europeans I support America. Unlike most Europeans, I support Israel. Unlike most Europeans I did not pretend my embrace of either candidate mattered one bit. I am not telling Americans what to do. I am simply observing.
