Wow. My parrot doesn't learn that fast. How'd you teach yours to catch on so quick?
Not.
One.
American.
Voted.
For.
Obama.
The logical corollary is, thereforre, that people who voted for Obama weren't Americans. As I pointed out, already, they may have been US citizens, but that doesn't make them Americans.
I'm an American and a socialist as well.
the problem with Obama is that he is not a socialist but he is a fine president anyway.
You may want to look up the difference between social programs and a socialistic government.
Has Obama asked you for all the land yet? I don't think he will so he is not a socialist. Thanks

Man chill out.
No need to insult anyone.

It is only an insult if one strives to adhere to Scarecrow's subjective (and therefore irrelevant) definition of "American".
I understand political differences but that is going to far, bordering on mod action.
What I have said, or what he has said?
I've stated facts.
Do you feel insulted when people state facts?
Maybe your standards are failing, but the Americans' stantards are not. Then again, not one American voted for Obama, so maybe you're just not sure of who we are anymore.
The Germans loved Hitler, all the way until he started WWII. Even after that it took them a while to figure out the problem.
Why should peasants in Venezueala be different from educated Germans?
USSR had elections. Warsaw Pact nations had elections. Cuba has elections. China has elections. North Korea has elections. etc.
How is he a "fine president"? Most of his administration's fiscal policies are going to be devastating to the economy, to the point where they could be (probably will be) irreversible.
Unlike the conservative policies that have done such a great job so far?
Teh Stoopid is RIFE amongst our forum conservatives, it would seem.

So your implying that the elections are inadequate? How so? Also the word authoritarianism has been throw around alot in this thread. I dont think this is accurate as an authoritarian system is one in which political particiapation is limited and/or controlled. I dont see any evidence of this in Venuzuela.
No doubt the people like him, he's a populist but in terms of things like property rights you could draw a parallel of authoritarian rule with his seizure of private property.
He and his party control all aspects of Venezuela's political system..from the lowest police station to the highest judge.
The primary opposition leader had to flee the nation recently do to questionable charges from a Courts run by Chavez.
Interpol seeks arrest of opposition leader: Venezuela - Yahoo! Canada News
Chavez shut down an opposition TV station and has actively been silencing dissenters in all forms of media in Venezuela.
Chavez has organized a Militia force which has been seen and used recently against people who protested against give him the ability to be President for Life.
Since he gained power he has dismantled or taken control of anything that threatens his power.
He's a Dictator and will remain in power until killed or he dies naturally.
Funny how a Far Right military man who tried to seize power in a bloody coup
Then again, not one American voted for Obama, so maybe you're just not sure of who we are anymore.
Trust me, in time you will see crap like this say to yourself "meh, business as usual for Scarecrow."I just couldn't believe you meant to type that.
Only with a select group of them. We have a very intelligent lot of conservatives on this board who don't feel the need to talk down to you in order to make their arguments. Unfortunately you have met one of the "others."Teh Stoopid is RIFE amongst our forum conservatives, it would seem.

It sort of makes me miss ToT. Ahh, the memories...
It depends on what kind of private property this is. Murray Rothbard suggested declaring a lot of property unowned because it "owners" were so dependent on the state. When these corporations abide by the common law idea of private property and get no state support then I'd care a lot more. It seems like switching one kind of centralised, socialism for another.No doubt the people like him, he's a populist but in terms of things like property rights you could draw a parallel of authoritarian rule with his seizure of private property.
