Bush is a Christian Socialist?
Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 11:07 AM by leftyladyfrommo
Dana Milbank in the Washington Post wrote and article about a very conservative group that met and they all dissed this adm.

www.washingtonpost.com

They called Bush a Christian Socialist? Whatever that is.

Anyway, I guess he is not a "conservative" by any stretch of the imagination. These people really came down hard. Said the only good thing he has done was to get his appointments to the Supreme Court. I'll have to go out and find the link because it's well worth reading.

Well, this is what it says but I can't get the link to come up for some reason. But it's out on the Washington Post today and is by Dana Milbank.

3. No. He is a Christian NATIONAL Socialist

If you want to know about Christian socialism/anarchism, read the tomes of Leo Tolstoy ("The Kingdom of God is Within," "Resurrection"). He was a profound inspiration to Gandhi.

On edit: Davepc beat me to it.

5. Well, none of this makes sense to me.
I can't see where anything he does is socialist - rather it seems to be pretty elitist. I would call him for of a corporate shill. And a bear of very little brain.

7. I can only say that he claims to be a Christian. He doesn't
exhibit any of the qualities that I usually associate with the Christian faith.

For sure he's not the "compassionate conservative" that he ran on in 2000.

9. If he was a Christian Socialist, Bush would be all about lifting up
the poor. He's neither Christian nor a Socialist. He's a gangster. The height of capitalism is using all available means to generate profits for one's self or one's corporation. The government is the best imaginable means for realizing this goal since the government is able, not only to command the labor of present and mandate demand, but ALSO to enslave the future as well, in the form of borrowing at interest, and thus drain both present and future into the pockets of capitalists.
This is capitalism perfected. For a moving parable on this theme, watch the film Chinatown.

10. CHRISTO-FASCIST! Get it right!!!
Right wingers are trying to distance themselves from the very person they helped elect... why would anyone listen to what these fools say now. They are just as responsible. Fuck everyone of them.

Socialist my ass... the nazis ran on that as well. Gee, looks like we have another example of Bush going by the Nazi playbook.

13. Maybe because some social programs are still tax-funded
For some, only complete privatization of everything is enough, and anything short of that is at least socialist.
