I’m a conservative.
A federalist.
A constitutionalist.

I believe the purpose of government, both state and federal, is primarily to protect the liberty of individuals.

Obama is the antithesis of these ideas. He boldy proclaims that healthcare should be a right and that wealth is a product of “luck” and needs to be spread around.

He is the most pro-choice senator in the United States Senate and opposed legislation that would make healthcare for babies who survive abortions mandatory.

He believes that governments create jobs. He believes our progressive tax system isn’t progressive enough.

He believes the solution to our 2/3 dependence on foreign oil is cutting our consumption by 2/3. How? By limiting what consumers can buy and what producers can produce.

He believes that corporations are evil and their profits are “inappropriate”. He would impose “windfall taxes” to correct this inequity.

He worked with communists like Bill Ayers, whose education ideas include the discouragement of patriotism to country and the encouragement of allegiance to the world.

And, he has literally come from “nowhere”. He’s a junior senator with only 173 working days in the senate.  We can only guess what he will do with the office of the presidency.

So, I ask: In what substantive way do Barack Obama’s views differ from that of Karl Marx and his followers?

It would be foolish to assume that the days of Marxism and its subversive techniques of achieving power are long gone.
It would also be foolish to assume that the next Marxist leader will gain power by proclaiming himself to be a Marxist.

Barack Obama scares me.
