I'm not a statist, I'm like the majority of people who vote against this kind of stuff.
That's the great Crazy Rightwing Labeller Guy irony. They decry government involvement in the marketplace but expect the state (federally or otherwise) to enforce their own social morals to the rest of society. What's hilarious to me is your second post:
I didn't vote for gay-rights, either, just in case you didn't know, so stay out of my sex life.
Stay out of your bedroom but have the government biased towards your personal relationship preference. Spot on Crazy Rightwing Labeller Guy!
There are a few other problems you have:
1. Partisan BS, as though no Democrat disagrees/Republican agrees with Obama and the Republicans didn't have anything to do with
getting us into this mess in the first place.
2. Offering no alternate solution. It's the same thing many Democrats have been guilty of when Republicans were in power. It's fine to critique the majority's actions, but it's not really worthwhile unless you have some kind of alternate solution. I suppose (because any time ANYONE ever agrees to let the government do ANYTHING they are a 'socialist' or a 'statist') your economic position would be to let the banks completely fall apart (and with the banks millions of people lose their homes, jobs, life savings, health care, on and on) and let the system sort itself out. Really teach those bastards a lesson, huh? Unfortunately the entire financial system falling apart tends to have wide reaching ramifications. That's okay, though, I'm sure you'll just buy a dozen asault weapons, build a hut in the woods, and shoot those crazy cannibalistic n homosexuals who come near your hut to ask you if you've got any cell reception. All in the name of Jesus, naturally.
3. You don't even know what the labels you're throwing around even mean, which is just tedious for everyone else here and reveals you to be another Crazy Rightwing Labeller Guy.
4. The guy's been in office for THREE of FORTY-EIGHT months. He was voted in FIVE months ago by The Majority who expected him to do something - anything - to help this crisis. What sh**ts me is that you guys are more concerned with what Obama should be labelled than with actually offering solutions and alternatives. It's like debating whether the author of a book should be considered a writer of Science Fiction or Horror without even considering what the book is about. What's important is the content. Does Obama doing A, B, and C make him a socialist? I don't care so much as wanting to know if A, B, and C are doing any good in the long run. And frankly it's too early to tell.
