The only reason I compare Obama to a communist is this: he believes in the redistribution of wealth. I admit I'm out of line here. I mean, what could be less communist than the redistribution of wealth?

So then was FDR also comparable to a communist? Was I mean how is Social Security not redistribution of wealth? Then again, I'm sure his New Deal met similar resistance in it's time.

Yes, we are extremely against the New Deal!!! It has led us to where we are today and has not been helpful at all. I recommend you read New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Destroyed America by Dr. Burton Folsom Jr., it details how the New Deal has contributed to our current economic situation and this sense of entitlement our people now harbor. It is not unfairly critical of FDR and does expound on the few good things he did, so take a look at it.

Book for Book? I recommend The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein (granted, even I find it very biased but I have a huge respect for the author and I think it brings up a good point). However, I know that neither one of us will take each other up on our offers, so let's just agree to disagree ;).
