(666 posts)For the most he acts like a republican, every so often he throws us a bone. He won't go after the people of Wall Street, the other bankster or gangsters can not tell the difference. I could go on but it sickens me to think that I voted for change and that is all we the working people got was the change.

(4,473 posts)That Obama is a Marxist, a fascist and an anarchist. He is, of course, a Rush Limbaugh conservative; a group who apparently consider ignorance to be a positive virtue. Certainly, he does not know that those are mutually exclusive groups. (I said that it would be like calling someone a Hassidic Methodist, and it turned out that he did not know who the Hassidim are.)
He wants to believe that Obama is a socialist, and when I have quoted socialists damning Obama because he is not a socialist, he pooh-poohs this. Apparently, he sees himself as more knowledgeable about socialism than actual socialists.
I'm afraid that I did not please him when I asked if ignorance of history, economics and politics is required of conservatives or merely strongly recommended.
