I don't care...haven't finished my coffee yet... I could have spelled Saipan

Or we could link to a dictionary. Point 1 is the common US usage, point 3 the global usage of the term 'republic'.

ETA: and since we're getting into definitions of things, why not look at the word socialism. Socialism is a period of revolutionary transitions in which the means of production are no longer private property, i.e., they are socialized.

Obama is no socialist, neither is Eisenhower. The idea of socializing production means is so far from those guys as actual tea******* is from the 'tea******'.

ETA II: by the way, rhubroma, it's senatus populusque romanus, if my seven years of latin have taught me anything.

Excuse me I was exchanging popolo for populus.

Just love those laser guided bombs
They're really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
3,000 miles away
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gained terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range .

Havent we had enough yet?

Obviously not.

President Palin and VP Bachmann are gonna show you who's boss!

BTW, I like Sarah because she's a mom! Yay!

Seriously, re your question. It's possible. The MSM in the US media is completely corporate owned so I don't think there's much credibility in anything they report.

That is true. But that does not make President Obama ....NOT a socialist. That is not a bad thing. It is WHO HE is. WTF is wrong with calling him that?

Yall are some poor behaving folks. I am NOT putting President Obama down when I say that he is a socialist. Good luck and have fun.

Red....please do not call me names any longer.

There is a common misconception (actually, it is an ignorance of the actual meaning of the word) that someone who believes in a mixed economic system is a "Socialist." The two things are not the same thing.

 

[usedtobefast]

Obama a socialist? don't make me laugh. i know socialism and he is basically
a black Bush. very far from being a socialist.

what ever. Just like I thought. Even I voted for the President and think his social ways are ok with me. It helps my family members. You know the Whisky tango types in my life. I think he is a socialist. I have no ****ING problem with that. IT is you M!!!!!!! ****ERS who have a problem with it.

You have it precisely backwards. I'm unhappy because Obama is not a socialist. He's not even a social democrat IMHO.

No, I don't. I'm a socialist. Obama isn't. Sorry that word meanings are not a priority to you, but don't take your ignorance out on me.

Man you are sooo stubborn. Spending a little government money on a couple social programs does not a socialist make.
If Obama was a socialist instead of namby pamby Obamacare he would close up Healthnet and all the other health insurance corporations and put all the agents to work in maintenance jobs in the hospitals, or records keeping jobs where they were actually accomplishing something, and we would have affordable health care for all.

the movie was cast away, not lost; and wilson was a volleyball, not a basketball.

hint: before you talk about others being bright you might want to check your spelling. a typo now and then is one thing but that post about lambchop is pitiful.

Hugh I gave in. President Obama is Not a socialist. Not even a hint of it. Thanks for the lesson. BTW all of you folks who refer to the President of the United States by his last name only,,,,,have no respect for the office.

I appreciate all the hate... from my fellow stubborn members.

Hey I got to go...I am trying to watch a movie called Lost with a basketball star named Wilson. Trouble is on Netflix it does not come up on any search that I am trying...

 

[Hugh Januss]

We covered this the other day. He claims dyslexia, or as he puts it dislexia, on the face of the evidence I am inclined to believe him and give him a pass. Maybe you could invite him to Tejas to do your big ride, you could sit on his wheel and probably go real fast until he dropped your a** about 20 mi. in.

The closest you will come to finding a socialist in this country would be some missionaries.. Like the Catholic nuns your hero Ollie North's friends raped and threw out of helicopters..Even those who claim to be socialists are not..they want a ferrari just like you do. Then there are republicans who give some of their excess to the needy as an ode to a socialist ideal, but they value telling others of the lack of gratitude they receive in return.
