Why doesn't Obama deny he's a socialist? ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph Farah asks some important questions in this commentary. And if Obama won't even admit that he's a Socialist/Marxist, then can he be trusted about anything?

If you're not a socialist, Obama, what are you?

Are you a free-marketeer? Do you expect anyone to believe that?

If you're not foreign born, which Hawaiian hospital were you born in – and where is the proof?

Have you noticed the way Barack Obama loves to talk about the crazy people out there in America who think he's a socialist?

He did it again last week during an interview on NBC about the tea-party movement.

"There's still going to be a group at their core that question my legitimacy," he explained. "There's some folks who just weren't sure whether I was born in the United States, whether I was a socialist."

Let's get down to brass tacks. I don't know anyone in the tea-party movement who has any doubts whatsoever that Obama is a socialist.

If Obama isn't a socialist, why doesn't he come out and deny – just once? Why doesn't he swear publicly that he absolutely is committed to fostering free enterprise and market capitalism. Have you ever heard him say such a thing? Of course not. Even better, of course, would be if Obama would actually govern like he believed in those principles. Yet, to date, he has done the opposite – governing like someone who believes the state has all the answers and needs all the power.

I don't have even a grain of doubt that Obama is a socialist. If he walks like a socialist and talks like a socialist and governs like a socialist, he is probably a socialist.

• Obama appoints avowed socialists to key positions in his Cabinet.

• He talked in the campaign about the need to "spread the wealth around."

• He belonged to socialist organizations during his community-organizer days.

• As president, he has nationalized automakers, the entire health-care system and redistributed more wealth than any other president in history.

Whether or not he calls himself a socialist is really immaterial and beside the point.

If I rob banks, I'm a bank robber – no matter what I call myself.

Words actually mean things. If you look up socialist in the dictionary, you ought to see a picture of Barack Obama.
