O gets a pass? Certainly not, but neither does he exactly deserve the label of socialist any more than any other president in recent US history.

It does NOT alarm the shit out me because the US is NOT the size of Montana, with 63 million people living in it. Out of those, nearly 500,000 of the youngest, most impressionable men were in the Wehrmacht. The population of the US is virtually uncontrollable even in the biggest cities, except through media, which is easy enough to turn off.
Our leaders have been trying to find ways to control the population for decades. The problem is America's diversity, which has prevented any particular philosophy from gaining too much ground. But look at the GOP's message these days: they've aligned themselves with the Religious Right and continue to attempt to legislate their brand of morality. The message has narrowed to "be afraid of the other". The other being rather loosely defined. It might be gay people one week, or immigrants another, or anyone with a non-Christian religious preference, and the pundits echo these "threats" ad infinitum.
And please- what "progressive rhetoric"? Progressive as in far left liberal? Nah....my friends think of me as very conservative in a lot of ways, but not a religious conservative which is a whole 'nuther animal.

Hey, let me know when O starts a few wars for faked reasons, kills many thousands of non-combatant civilians and seriously weakens the American military by running it into the ground. When that happens, I'll happily stand up with an "Obama is a War Criminal" sign. Mkay?
And saying Palin is a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles is misogynist? Dude, even if she was a man, he'd still be a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles as in Can't Understand Normal Thinking.
