For a very long time, right-wing bloggers have been calling Barack Obama a socialist. And now they say they have proof. Barack Obama is a secret socialist? Be still my bleeding heart. Barack Obama has a secret plot to make the U.S. into a social democracy? Like all those countries in Europe? Please goddess, let it be true. I would crawl across cut glass for the privilege of having a president who is a secret socialist. Single payer health care! Equal pay! Equal Representation for women and minorities! Paid family leave! Education for everyone! No more homeless children! No more hungry children!
Back to reality. Like conservatives could even recognize a socialist. The so-called Socialist Party that Obama allegedly belonged to wasn't even as far left as the Green Party. Conservatives also think Barack Obama is the most liberal man in the U.S. Senate. More liberal than Ted Kennedy! More liberal than Bernie Sanders! Give me a break. It just goes to show, this election has made some conservatives stark-raving foaming-at-the-mouth mad. (It hasn't been kind to some of us progressives either.)
