Rave if you believe Romney is going to win the Presidential debate

Obama's policies are not right of center, he is a Fabian Socialist who uses corporatism (soft-fascism) to implement his policies. This is where people get confused about where he stands, whether he's a leftist or a moderate. Obamacare is a perfect example of corporatist policy designed to eventually deliver socialized medicine. Now don't get confused here, I'm not saying Obamacare IS socialized medicine, far from it. But Obamacare is not the end goal for Obama, single-payer healthcare is, Obamacare is just phase 1, it lays the tracks for single-payer. When Obamacare fails, then the plan is to go to Phase 2, which IS socialized medicine.

And fascism is not a right-wing ideology, it too is part of modern day liberalism/progressivism, it's a pillar of the left, always has been, starting with Mussolini and Hitler. What probably confuses most people is the fact that both major political parties use corporatism very heavily, perhaps for different goals, but both indeed use it/abuse it.

I watched every debate in 2008, Obama did much better in front of a teleprompter, but then again, he was going up against McCain - now he IS a mental midget and his style was not as polished as Obama's. Obama also had no record to run on in 2008, that's the big game changer with this election. Obama will have to defend the past 4 years, along with all the broken promises. And in doing so, he will also have to remember all the lies he's told over the past 4 years. That's a very tough road to plow since there are so many land mines to step on in that regard. But I have complete confidence that our liberal media will help him get through it all, with very little criticism, just like 2008.

But here's where you need a lesson in history and our founding principles. Your comment that one of the major purposes of government is "to redistribute wealth" is totally wrong. That was NOT a founding principle or purpose of government, whoever told you that is lying. Our founding fathers and several subsequent leaders have expressed great opposition to the idea of redistribution of wealth.

James Madison, who wrote the Constitution, said, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

Of course, we have strayed far from our founding principles, ever since Woodrow Wilson gave us the Federal Reserve and the progressive income tax, we've had redistribution of wealth. And it's only gotten worse. It's a leftist ideology, also called leveling, and it flies in opposition to our constitution and our founding principles. You're correct in the fact that we use it, but it's certainly NOT a major purpose of government.

And I'm not talking about taxes going towards infrastructure, commerce, or the general welfare, those things benefit everyone indirectly. Redistribution of wealth, by definition, directly benefits a particular class of people by taking from another class......or in many cases, a particular sub-group, crony or otherwise. That's taking from the wealthy class and giving to the poor or less fortunate class. Corporate welfare is another example.

Or in stronger terms, when someone takes my money and gives me no say in the matter and doesn't benefit me in any way, that’s called theft - whether they’re using a gun or the government.

At the core of this ideology is envy. And that’s not the same as jealousy. Jealousy just says, “I want what you have.” Envy is different. Envy says, “I don’t think I can ever have what you have, so you shouldn’t have it either.” Decades of horrible economic teaching and the politics of envy have kept this idea alive and growing and moving forward.
