What evidence? His own words were submitted earlier where he said he wanted the only option for medicine to be the government...What evidence is there to suspect Obama is working towards any end? People talk about the health care when almost every first world nation has a health care policy. Are they all socialist nations?
The point is every time the government tries to help the citizens people scream Socialism! The irony is people complain about taxes and say the government never does anything for them.
There is not one nation that has a medical plan where the people want it discontinued. Not one nation.
This idea socialism is some bogeyman is nonsense. The countries people state as examples (Germany, Cuba, Russia) have nothing to do with Socialism. If one wants to talk about socialism many European countries are examples and the people have democratically chosen such a government.
Socialism is not loss of freedom. Socialism is getting the government to work for the people. Dictators taking over a socialist country will result in a dictatorship. Democratically elected representatives governing a socialist country will result in a free, democratic country. Why do people have such difficulty understanding socialism is not the problem?
Come on. We have to actually shut off our brains to be that disingenuous.
And here in the US, up until now, we have sought different solutions than government nannyism which were instrumental in creating the world's strongest nation. The point is you attempt to argue it "isn't socialism" because "it is but not enough of it" or "even if it is, it's what we want because it makes the government 'work for the people'"...
That isn't just a weak argument, it is surrender.
Amazingly, I am not one of the people who argue that Obama is a socialist, but pretending that there is no way a person could come to that conclusion, because you want ever more socialism, from his actions is flat lying to yourself.
