It will not work!
Here's a hypothetical situation for you; a socialist leaning leader of a large capitalist country wishes to guide the country down a different path. The country is torn by strife and a war that has been waged against them for many years. The socialist leaning leader decides to nationalize the banks, media and other major industries. He does this in a nefarious manner while appealing to the masses for change from what they have had. The masses respond in a very divisive manner with the nitwits winning out in the long run, and the country becoming totally socialist in nature. Individuals who no longer have the incentive, or the desire, to work because everything is now taken care of by the government, quit working. The economy, once the strongest in the world, slows down and production finally stops. Citizens starve, and the military is called out to quell the rebellious (and hungry!) masses. The socialist leaning leader declares himself dictator, and uses the military for his support. The country dwindles in obscurity, and the once bright beacon on the hill is extinguished. The dictator continues to rule the country until he is finally knifed and killed by a group of people who think they can do better. The country is torn even more, and finally is overthrown by a democratically led capitalist society. Sound familiar? It has happened throughout history, and guess what? It's happening again. All I can say is; we better not let the nitwits win!

Holy Hyperbole, Batman! There is no way that America is turning into a dictatorship, nor is Obama trying to be one. Secondly, if you want to talk about mediocrity, look at the No Child Left Behind Act. Let's hold back the good students that want to work so that the kids that don't give a damn can possibly ruin the education system a little more. It's not like that will positively skew the school's exam scores or anything because we don't really want to know how poorly our schools are really doing. Why should we spend tax money on programs that don't work that try to force people to learn? Thirdly, history does repeat itself. Andrew Jackson "nationalized" banking and the only thing that came from that was our finances being protected. I would much rather have the banks spending and losing my hard earned money.
Oh! I almost forgot! This Orwellian view of the world's future you have reminds me of one thing- Orwell was a Socialist. So in calling Obama a socialist isn't such a bad thing now. He doesn't like communism, fascism, totalitarianism, and he believes in using government money to further philanthropic ventures. Is that really so bad?
FYI: Orwell became disenfranchised with the socialist movement after he figured out that it was unworkable. Sorry to burst your balloon, but it took him a while to figure it out as well. Perhaps when you get a little older (and presumably wiser) you'll figure it out as well.
I couldn't take it anymore....I had read back through your bloggs and responses, and could not stand by as so many stupid things were spouted as truth. LV you may never read this....but your naivete concerning the world we live in disturbs me. You think that a man so obviously consumed with the desire for power with stupid masses so obviously ready for any change that he is willing to offer that it is such a big step from the socialist order he is setting up and dictatorship....it is not. Read your history a little more clearly Lenin, Mouselini, Castro, Chavez (best buddy of our sweet president),and generations of chinese dictatorship and yes even Hitler all started out with the same slogan CHANGE from the situation we are in now to a better one. Yes and look where it has gotten them and if that is not proof enough have you ever experience a country outside of this one where socialism is prevalent. If you had or if half of the ignorant people who think that system works would just go and look at the quality of life of people in those countries they would not be so keen on it believe me. The joke is on them however because the people we have in office all the behind the scenes people and their stupid puppet poster boy know it doesn't work but if the people in this country are stupid enough to think so it is the easiest route to total and complete power which is their end goal. Every move they have made since their regim began has been to furthering their power and lessening of the people the hardworking, informed, motivated, outspoken conversatists because if they can just shut us up then the rest of you will go like lemmings right off the edge of the cliff where they point.
