Lmao someone save this dude's posts somewhere for the sake of posterity, there's so much to study and analyze. once I saw a thread in realgm with this title I immediately went to the last page hoping to find "that guy" and I am not disappointed.
and p.s. bro, you not only clearly have your own ideological box you're comfy in (to each their own), but plz cut that "Democrats and Republicans" faux-"middle common sense" false equivalency bull like you're not just peddling your own distinct political brand because last I checked Barry Goldwater had a firm ideological foxhole and it sure as **** ain't moderate. The fact that Richard Nixon would get chased out of the current GOP these days for being "too liberal" doesn't change the fact that your ilk have always had a clear and identifiable place on the political spectrum and it's definitely not one that provides you with a middleground position lmao
Plz take the Republican party back from the Christofascists that stole it from your wing of the party so we can just go back to calling a spade a spade, because an America where someone with your distinct political ideologies and lines (lines ive seen parroted a thousand times before) can play the "awww shucks, both these parties are craaaazy" card is a violently **** up America.
for christ sakes, Obama isn't even close to left wing or progressive. Dude wouldn't be too politically different from George H.W. Bush, just with Romneycare. **** is soooooo skewed these days. Wake up and remember who you are, soxfan!!!1111
Actually Obama is Far Left. He's a student of Saul Alinsky. Stop pretending that Obama isn't Far Left because he has strong ties to big business.
And Sox doesn't even appear to be a Republican to me. He sounds like a libertarian.
He's was a student of Saul Alinksy? Please enlighten me how that is possible, as Alinsky died in California 1972; at the time the President was 10 years old and living with his grandparents in Hawaii. I don't recall Alinsky's biographical background including a stint as grammar school teacher.
If you're attempting to argue someone is a "student" by the mere fact of reading a book, then every political science major of the last 100 years is a "student" of Karl Marx, who was a "student" of Adam Smith. Give me a break.
If Barack Obama is your definition of the "far left", I can't even imagine what you consider center-left or the mythical middle.
The health care reform created a mandate to buy private-issued insurance, something which has been a platform position of the Republican party, and is the complete opposite of the Left-wing which is calling for eliminating private insurance companies and opening access to Medicare for those currently ineligible (basically everyone aged 18-64), with minimal/no costs for use.
The Left-wing tends to be made up of people who dislike wars. Obama has yet to close Guantanamo, is still using money to fight in Iraq, and just recently announced that a planned troop reduction in Afghanistan will be delayed (likely through the end of his term). Again i'm not seeing leftist. If you want an example of far-left, look at Congresswoman Barbara Lee, who voted against the war in Afghanistan. The Congresswoman has also been in favor of another far-left idea, a new cabinet position with a "Department of Peace" (the idea goes back to the 1960s).
At the federal level, especially in his time as President, Barack Obama has been firmly center-right on most issues. And before you bring up the word "amnesty", the last time the United States gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants was in a bill authored by a Republican, which President Reagan chose to sign rather than veto. The Republican party has been moved so far to the right over the last 15-20 years by the radicals that have hijacked AM-radio and cable TV, that you actually believe their spin that he's a "far-left student of Alinksy" for acting like a pre-1994 Republican? For your sanity and the rest of us, dump the kool-aid and change the dial.
