Thank you, John McCain, this is a start:
At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives…
But soon, Mr. McCain, we need to hear you say something much more like this.

Barack Obama Pledges To Take Your Money And “Spread It Around”
Friday, October 17th, 2008It’s very simple, what Barack Obama has in mind for this country: Communism. (This video soft pedals the issue a bit, but is basically spot on).
He believes it is time for the government to take your money and spread it around.
And the reason I believe we are talking about communism rather than socialism is because in my definition communism represents a much more aggressive dissolution of economic class distinctions until there are only two: a tiny ruling elite and a massive remaining population of government dependents. A few who got on the good side of the game, and a whole bunch of poor mofo’s who got the shaft.
Listening to Barack Obama’s post-debate comments on “Joe the Plumber” is there any question what he thinks of the working class?
Oh, and also on the “communism” definition: I don’t equate socialism so much with the goon squad factor, which is a growing element of the Obama campaign every damn day it seems.

Sanity in Venezuela
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Reuters is reporting the Venezuelan people voted against President Hugo Chavez’ sweeping constitutional reforms which would have swept the nation back in time to approximately 1980s Soviet Union.
The president’s initiatives would have allowed him to run for an unlimited number of terms and provided enhanced presidential powers. Chavez said explicitly he intended to turn the country into a socialist state.
A couple weeks ago news stories revealed that food lines were commonplace for items that had come under national price controls.
“Do you think it’s good to be here waiting in line?”
Chavez’ term ends in 2012 and it appears he will not emulate Cuba’s Fidel Castro as president for life.
