And you still have a socialist like Obama. Only now are examples of Obama's thinking emerging through the News Media filter. The two latest include a taped interview he had in 2003 where he talks about both positive and negative rights and the Constitution. Only a socialist would see the restrictions on what the Federal government can do for us in the Constitution as "negative rights". They are restrictions included in the document to restrict the power of the new government, imposed upon it by the people and the states, because the founders of this republic did not want an overbearing Federal government being imposed upon them. Only a socialist would see these restrictions as negative impositions on the Federal government's overarching tendencies to grow and oppress the people as impediments to a government created utopia. The word utopia was coined by Sir Thomas More (later St. Thomas More) in a story of the same name, by combining two Latin words which, together, means nowhere. That is where the people end up under communism and socialism, with or without lipstick on the Big Brother of the moment.
Now Obama wants a new bill of rights. Who are these new rights created for and on whom will they be enforced and imposed upon? I have not heard the details, but the impositions will no doubt be shackled upon the producers in our society and made for the benefit of those (the liberally stupid) who feel entitled to our money and labor. After all, Marx said it and Biden become enraged by hearing the mantra of the Left read to him by Barbara West in an interview in Florida because it is true. "To each according to his needs, from each according to their means." Socialists and communists are never satisfied with their wants and are always jealous of those with the means; which they will destroy once they gain control of those means from their producers. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez and Mugabe never learned from their own utopias forced up their subjects. Neither will Obama, Biden and the rest of American Left.
Now, as a way to deflect any criticism of Obama, the phrase "socialism" is said by the Left to be code for black. Since when did Hitler and Stalin have soul?
