    New Obama Campaign Slogan has strong ties to Socialism

    The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

    Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."
    "The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.
    The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.
    The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning.

    So why are they pretending to be socialist? Trolling the Republican's again?

    I think we need some more socialist services from out government really...Like healthcare...capitalism is out of control right now here, so why not numb it a little by applying a little socialism?
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!

    That is what I am starting to like about him. My brother is a union delegate and my dad was in a union for decades, both are rather pro-Obama which also got me thinking. Then in his latest ad, there was a line "Don't underestimate the American worker". I'm starting to like this guy. He isn't just creating jobs, he is creating incentive to work. There is no fear mongering involved either, he doesn't use that tactic. Even Ron Paul does, such as his advice to buy gold. Or Faux news tactics to garner support for Iran intervention. Domestic spending won't break the bank, the money stays here, it is foreign policy and defense spending that sends our money out of our borders.

    No, not at all. Just voicing my opinion of labor unions based on decades of experience.

    Unions:

    Groups of people that don't understand their employer should have the right to fire them, change their wages, cut their hours, change their job-position, or alter their job-hours at free will. A group of people that doesn't understand, you work for your employer, on their terms, the employer does not work for you, on your terms.

    A group of people that don't understand they took a job at their own free will. A group of people that don't understand, that if they don't like the terms of a job, they have the right to quit at their own free will.

    In other words, a bunch of selfish cowards who use legal extortion because they think they have a right to be employed.

    Anytime one tries to justify the violation of natural human rights, in order to increase the quality of another human being's natural rights, not only have they attempted to justify hypocrisy, they've lost all worthiness in what they believe, are credible opinions.

    There is a reason Unions have dropped dramatically in the last decades because they are not needed despite the little decline in actual public support. WHy would you want to pay dues to be part of a union they don't even do anything for you anymore. THey can come into a business claim they will get you better wages but often times don't and the only one's benifiting are the top people making decisions in the union.

    And getting more government aid isn't the answer. IF you know anything about economics you'd realize it's quit opposite of what we need to keep experiencing GDP growth. It's funny just recently Obama proposed reduction on corporate taxes. Wonder what the occ-tards think of that. Anyways oh shit he finally is realizing that since he's been making it harder to do business in USA no one is investing anymore our FDI is dropping by like 3% annually because no one wants to invest here anymore. THus business's are moving out of the states in order to stay in business we should be helping our business's not stunting them.
