So there I was, minding my own business going to the grocery store. As I was about to walk in, I was confronted by a couple of young men standing in front of a table that was covered in the most disturbing images of Obama and Hitler, Obama AS Hitler, Hitler, Obama, Obama with a Hitler mustache. I have never regretted not having my camera with me so much! They were part of this movement that believes that Obama is being told by the Brits how to destroy the world. Ostensibly, they were there to gather support and donations to use against Obamacare. When I spoke to them I told them while I appreciate the cause, I am terribly dismayed by their approach. I was polite, they were polite but seriously, they are so brainwashed it was like trying to reason with a moonie. Or someone from EST or a Scientologist! Sheesh.
Nazis are automatically bad. That's like a rule or something.
It's weird but I think Obama is a fascist of sorts. Not the Jew-hating (oh, wait)- umm, sort, but still a fascist.
As for being a puppet, I don't really care. For whatever reason he is messing up this country pretty bad. I don't give extra credit for good intentions at this point.

RJ...I wasn't sure for awhile if "the won" was just not smart enough to know he was making bad decisions, or if he was deliberately trying to send this once great country right down the tubes. I'm still not sure he's that smart, despite the "degrees", but I think there are sinister forces (Soros & others) at work behind the scenes who would like to see the US reduced to third world status, except for them, of course. Just my gut feeling.

That's a good point about Soros, but I would go the extra mile and look at The Fed and certain select banks and investment houses on Wall Street like Goldman Sachs who are having a field day under Obama. Mix in a charismatic leader who tramples the rule of law and voila! Fascism. I also think socialism is a phony-baloney premise for fascists. There has never been a socialist "utopia" where the state goes away and bunnies and squirrels come in out of the woods and dance with naked people near magically appearing cornucopias.
I know it's not the funnest word in the world to call it - but darn it, I don't know what else it is!

Correct, RJ. I was talking with one of my lib friends one day (brilliant concert pianist, but he cannot see straight with politics) and he was trying to hand me the line that socialism has failed but only because it was taken too far and not tried by the correct people. He was in hopes that Obama was the "right" person to bring it to life here. I'm getting ready to start Mark Levin's book, as well as Jonah Goldberg's to be ready the next time my friend & I have lunch.

"I'm getting ready to start Mark Levin's book, as well as Jonah Goldberg's to be ready the next time my friend & I have lunch."
Good choices. Levin's is much easier to read, and Goldberg's is slower but well worth the time to digest. I think Goldberg's is much better for the purposes of your debate with the piano player. Cheers!
