Noted political intellectual Joy Behar calls Obama a socialist, I guess

Joy BeharIf you don’t know, comedienne Joy Behar is the reigning doyenne “The View”, that overwhelming hot bed of daytime chatter, said this of Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders (emphasis mine):

“He calls himself a socialist. He’s just a liberal. He’s a liberal. He’s as liberal as Obama.”

Well now, that pretty much pegs Obama, doesn’t it?  After all,

If A = B, then B = C; remember that back from elementary school?  Now, that math theorem doesn’t always apply, but in this case of politics, I think it does.  Ask yourself, if Bernie has self-declared as a proud Socialist and his policies are just about the same as Obama’s, what is that difference?  And if Behar is adamant that Bernie is aLiberal, and Bernie is calling himself a Socialist, then doesn’t “if one then all” also apply?  After all, Hillary really is an accolyte of Saul Alinsky (she wrote her Master’s thesis on him and continued their relationship for years afterwards), and Alinsky said he was a Socialist and created the on-the-ground tactics for socialists, and she is now trying to fight on the issues to the Left of Bernie, well, what is the right side of that equation.

And Behar didn’t stop there, either. Please remember Socialism is just to the right of Communism (even as Marxist theory says that socialism is just a train stop to communism) andFascism is Socialism without the de jure  ownership of the means of production but de facto ownership via regulation and operational laws.

“He’s not going to nationalize all the industries. He’s not going to make the state own industries.”

She’s correct – but not entirely truthful either.  He certainly does want to nationalize our healthcare system by unilaterally change it to a single-payer government monopoly.  And he wants to effectively nationalize all public colleges and universities as well as take over the banking and stock systems.  If you have the power to destroy something, you own it and he has promised to destroy the banks and Wall Street.

And to be truthful and for full disclosure, I certainly do not recommend that one watch The View for their political education.  Frankly, I think that the show is hosted by left leaning Progressive harpies that generally believe they know more than they do.  Yes, like a stopped clock, they can be correct once in a while, but for the most part, they hate a guy like me.
