Political Rant Week

Day #1
Topic: Socialism is fun!

Before I get into how much I hate the GOP right now I would first like to say that I DO NOT dislike ALL Republicans, Libertarians etc etc - I know that the few "bad apples" don't speak for everyone but they DO damage the ones who aren't complete douche bags.

Moving on. I've decided to do a whole week full of rants mainly because it helps me calm down - so I don't blow up at someone- and also I've come in contact with more idiots than I would like to, and am tired of people (mainly the right) blowing things out of proportion.
What I would first like to touch is the whole "Obama is a Socialist....Watch out!!!" thing. This all started when Joe the "Plummer" asked a question about Obamas tax plan during his campaign , "he wants to spread the wealth" McCain and other Republicans ran with this. "HE'S A SOCIALIST!!!" and since hes a socialist, he must like communist too right? and of course Obama had to defend himself, at this time I was thinking...Yeah, and? See, I highly doubt that McCain and other GOP members even know the difference between Socialism and communism, buuut it doesn't matter because they're both BAD!!! BAH! Bullshit. Look at most of Europe - especially Scandinavia and the Netherlands - they pretty much run on Socialist based Gov'ts (i.e. everyone gets health care, free daycare, both parents receive time off when having a child) and that's bad why?? don't all people deserve these things?? The gov't has a DUTY to make sure ALL its citizens are taken care of. People have no need to be afraid of Socialism - Communist...that's another story. So in closing, I do think that Obama is somewhat of a Socialist in that he thinks everyone, rich, poor, middle class deserves free health care etc etc. He has already proven that his is willing to work with everyone to get these things in motion as well.

Tomorrow I tackle every ones favorite...TAXES!!!
