Which is better, Liberty or socialism, free market or central planning, gold standard or fiat currency?

Which of these can we expect from an Obama administration? What did George Washington give us in the Constitution? Hey, Nick. Jefferson made no contributions to the Constitution. Yup, Tony, it's true Jefferson made zero contributions to the Constitution. He was out of the country at the time it was framed. As a matter of fact, that's why he mischaracterized the first amendment, he only had a verbal summation of what it was about, and he paraphrased it in his now famous, but incorrect lettter.

1. You can expect socialism, central planning and a new "world" currency from Obama. How we know this is who he has surrounded himself with along with his own past that many choose to ignore.
2. The answers to your questions are these. Liberty or Socialism: In the true and real sense, neither have ever been tried or implemented. Free Market or Central Planning: In the true and real sense, neither have ever been tried or implemented. Gold Standard or Flat Currency: Gold Standard allows for a 'real measure' of wealth but it severely limits growth to thw few who have the gold. Paper currency allows more growth and makes it impossible to accurately determine value or weath. AND it allows for corruption if paper currency isn't severly regulated because its all based on the promise of the Gov't to repay it. What did George Washington give to the Constitution ? Nothing. He wasn't a delegate to the constitutional convention. Liberty and the Free Market are my own preference but there needs to be rules and regs to balance liberty and tyranny. The Rights of the Individual can't be taken away by the tyrnanny of the majority. Conversely, the few who have the wealth and the connections can't be allowed to control the apparatus of government and production for thier own benefit and to the detriment of the majority.
3. liberty, free market, gold standard were given to us, but we won't see them from Obama.
4. Socialism, he will try, it will flounder....we don't have the economic resources to support national health care or distribution of wealth...not to mention there would be rioting in the streets before you part hard working americans will their cash!!
5. Soros bought our presidency he's a one world orderer we're just little mice to be socially engineerred slaves for the bankers our suffering is none of their concern
6. Certainly a government should serve it's citizens first and not merely it's wealthy backers. The tax tables were not created to determine the quality of an individuals electoral might but the levels of ability to pay for needed services without which their fortunes may not have been made to begin with.
7. Whatever feeds the people so they don't revolt.
8. all republicans who believe we have a free market now are complete idiots and hypocrits. bailouts, 'nuff said. edit: are you people f*cking retarded? nick: jefferson was definately not a liberal, he was a moderate, do some research before you talk. and it is simply astounding that one can sit there and say jefferson did not contribute to the constituion.....if this is the core of the republican party they will die a slow most painful death.
9. hahah.. this is a crazy loaded answer... And this is 3 questions. And it's comparing 6 things all which are too different for logical comparison. It's obviously a setup for one of your cronies to come and reitterate the Rush Limbaugh crazy train.. What's better, liberty is better than all. Socialistic ideals can be very positive when debating how to distribute national treasure. Money in the treasury. A free market and central planning are both good since they are not related. Gold standard slows inflation while fiat trading has been our conventional monetary system of trade for thousands of years. From Obama we can expect all of those things. George Washington didn't write the Constitution - Thomas Jefferson did, who was a liberal Jeffersonian (the most liberal type of liberals).. have a nice day!
10. LIBERTY... I DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT RUNNING MY LIFE! FREE MARKET... DON'T LET THE GOVERNMENT RULE THE ECONOMY!!!
11. The Gold Standard will be great for those countries that produce gold. They are: Australia Bolivia Burkina Faso Dominican Republic Ethiopia Fiji Ghana Guinea Guyana Kyrgyztan Mali Mauritania Namibia Nicaragua Papua New Guinea Peru South Africa Tanzania Uganda Uzbekistan Zimbabwe I don't see the USA on there. So you want to create a new OPEC to dominate us? You truly disgust me.
12. liberty and socialism are not mutually exclusive; neither are free market and central planning. The most successful countries have mixed economies - including the US.
