Well, a iota of coherence wouldn't hurt people who -as you said- embody 'socialism', right?
Otherwise it's a free for all hogwash fest...which it is...
Therefore I don't understand why you raise to defend a man who apparently violates the very basic rules of the credo you credit to him (=socialism), much like all 'liberationist', 'communist' or 'socialist' leaders...
Sure he may not be a devil...but he's not very believable, too.
Me?
I am a middle class or bourgeois person.
I remember when I was very young I was asked why I had not joined some far left group...to which I objected that would amount to an absurdity...I couldn't wave red flags and burn cars during the day, preaching against wealth and inequalities...only -as you say- come home in the evening to a better house than many possess...I am not a hoaxer...
"My station and its duties" from philosopher Bradley is an interesting start.
I don't like the big capital, but I find Robin Hood rhetoric nonsensical and dangerous...
What will Obama do first?
Much like Cheney, he will try to bribe his overt (or occult) financial supporters into self-satisfaction with favors and public money (contracts, laws, etc )...
Or do you think he'll just show them the big finger and tell them off?
Louis Robichaud was the first Acadian elected NB prime minister (1960-70) with the sympathy of the Irving group...when he no longer nodded to the wishes of his powerful supporters, he was swiftly swept from power.
What about the unwashed?
They can wait and dream about taboos being pissed over...

He's a Quaker now
So I ask you again, how do you know this?
What source did you obtain this information from?
How do you know he's not a Quaker?
Which hard evidence can you offer?
Please do not tell me 'because he said so' or 'because he attended so&so church for n years', because he also attended a Muslim school for years and recently was taped claiming to be one of them...and left the church he was last with, right?
And after all, who cares...you said the country is a free one, right?
