Call them socialists

Sometime after the collapse of the Soviet Union, three words were banned from public discourse by the liberal establishment media, especially with reference to Democrats and the left in general in the United States. Those words were: Marxism, socialism and communism.

President Barack Obama's actions have been: massive politically directed government spending bills without any sustainable way to pay for them, government takeovers, handing over to unions, vote buying and terrorizing tax proposals based on lies. Future actions will include: radical income redistribution, wage and price fixing, more taxes, forced compliance, rationing and required servitude.

If it looks like a duck, and it sounds like a duck, it's a duck!

If Obama and his allies are Marxists, socialists and communists, then they should be referred to as such without reservation.
