New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism
The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.
Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."
"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.
The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

RE: New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism
so it would be better if politicians were forbidden to use words entirely and instead deliver the entire campaign via a troupe of mimes...
imagine the bloodshed...
I guess someone at the Washington Times missed the memo on the death of ideology.

This is a typical Orwellian attack on language.
Communists are regressive, trying to move humanity backward to a time when central authority was absolute, and the individual meant nothing.
Progressives should be called regressives, if they were honest.
Only conservatism, which protects the proven pathways to success and growth and individual freedom, is truly progressive.

Actually all of you liberals are the morans and haven't learned jackshit about history. You think that you are "progressing" but the rest of us see the huge red flags of government control over our lives via socialism.
If not a liberal at 20, you have no heart; if not a conservative at 40, you have no brain. Meaning when you are young you want to change the world and will listen to anyone who sounds like they care. As you grow older and with experience you learn to recognize the con men and their slick talk.

RE: New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism
Well he did not use 'arbeit macht frei'.
And I agree, forward is a progressive term, not a communist term.
And I also think it is the fault of conservative ideology that the US has a government that lies in bed with it's corporations instead of a government that can stop a corporations or has real good oversight.
Monsanto, private prisson system, watchdogs being controlled by the companies they should watch over..... all possible due to the ideology that government should not meddle in the market place. All possible cos some dudes can shout 'communism' and conservatives say 'how high'.

What are you? A f*cking parrot? All you can do is copy and paste the same tired bullshit?
You've bought into the past three decades of programming, hook, line and sinker. Government is evil! Anybody that doesn't agree with your narrow-minded, head-up-your-ass attitude must be liberals and communist! The evil communists and Muslims are hiding under your bed and are just waiting to jump out and kill you!
You are deathly afraid of anybody that isn't exactly like you. Must be tough being a chickenshit coward like you, living in constant fear of your own shadow.
It doesn't matter to you that the Republican policies of the past thirty years dug us into this hole that we're in. The solution to everything is deregulate and cut taxes! When it gets us into the shitter, what's your solution? More of the same!
This isn't a political forum. Why do you right-wing extremists and the Paultards feel the need to spam it with your shit? Why don't you just go to Free Republic or Little Green Footballs?

Why do you f*cking parrot the liberal agenda? What are you afraid to make it on your own without government handouts? Are you afraid to actually take responsibility for your actions and decisions?
Why the f*ck would you want the government to dictate our lives when they are corrupt as hell? There isn't one honest politician, they are all out to screw us. That's not paranoia, that's fact. But you keep your head up YOUR ass and keep your hand out for government money and more laws to restrict everyone so that we all fall in line with the liberal agenda or go to prison.

No you did not. You seem to think that the other ones, the ones who are not liberals, do care. Why else would you rip on liberals.
And as far as I can see now, it is the conservatives who wanna change America. RP runs on big changes....cos he says he cares.
Do you recognize him as a con man, what about anyone who is not a liberal, do you see how they con you?

ALL POLITICIANS are corrupt. What part don't you understand? Ron Paul is a scripted sideshow to get people worked up. Until we totally restructure ALL of Congress and ALL of our states' legislatures we will be screwed.
Are you aware that no sitting Congressperson can be arrested? That's bullshit.
I get on liberals because their agenda is always "government should do this, there should be a law about that". f*ck that. Leave the government out of our lives and revoke a ton of laws that impinge on personal freedom and encourage an entitlement attitude. Stop the frivolous lawsuits.
I can't stand the far right either trying to write laws on their beliefs either. We don't need more laws, we need more people to actually be moral, be ethical, be compassionate. Guess what neither party's politicians are moral, ethical nor compassionate.

We can take the government out of the market and out of the affairs of corporations if those nitwit conservatives take their repsonsibility and show stop doing busniness with the corporations and banks that are shit.
But they do not. They vote to have government be a lame duck when it concerns the market and corporations to have many billions to corrupt government and then they also do not take their own responsibility and learn about what corporations they should not do business with, and use their consumer power to end them.
Help fix it or get out of the way.
