For me to go around saying that Barack Obama is a socialist is a violation of the Ninth Commandment

[KeepItReal]

"I refused to use the word because I have this view that the Ninth Commandment must mean something.

I remember one year Bill Clinton — the guy I was out to get (when serving on the House judiciary committee in the 1990s) — at the National Prayer Breakfast said something that was one of the most profound things I've ever heard from anybody at a gathering like that. He said, "The most violated commandment in Washington, DC" — everybody leaned in; do tell, Mr. President — "is, 'Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.'"

I thought, "He's right. That is the most violated commandment in Washington." For me to go around saying that Barack Obama is a socialist is a violation of the Ninth Commandment. He is a liberal fellow. I'm conservative. We disagree...But I don't need to call him a socialist, and I hurt the country by doing so. The country has to come together to find a solution to these challenges or else we go over the cliff."

Those are quotes from Congressional Rep. Bob Inglis (R - South Carolina). He got his ass handed to him by a Tea Party candidate in the GOP Primary because he would not lie about the President of the United States.

4. Me and you both.

If he was half as socialist as the Tea Party claimed then this country would be well on its way to a brighter future.

6. And yet ANOTHER socialist chimes in, WISHING

Obama actually WAS a socialist. It insults socialism to call a centrist like Obama a socialist.

5. Only if you're a Protestant.

If you're a Catholic, it's a violation of the Eighth Commandment.

Or, if you're an agnostic like me, it's a violation of one of those Ten Suggestions. ;-)
