That said, you took that quote out of context. The real focus of it was on "welfare state" and it was presented with the fact that the Food Stamp program is adding 20,000 new people each day. If that's true than he's right about us quickly becoming a welfare state.
Do you have something substantive to say or some facts to dispute what the article said?
Whatever you may think of it, my "small" distinction post here has gotten a lot more karma than the long analyses I usually post.
The slide show altogether had little substance; a few interesting statistics, some standard rhetoric and a come-on for a product.
Still, the craven misuse of the term "socialist" is doing more than a little damage to the body politic. If Obama was a socialist trying to change the nature of American society, that would worth debating. But he isn't, so the repetition of such a claim works according to the "big lie principle" (ironically articulated by Joseph Stalin) - if you take a simple falsehood, even one the most informed people know is false, and repeat it enough times, you get can serious traction. This method of operating is worth noting and so this "semantic" distinction is important to make.
The mindless stretching of the term socialism is getting a bit grating, you think?
