To answer your question directly - yes, the programs you list are socialist by definition.
Great civilizations did not fail because they did not meet new challenges. Almost all failed because they ceased tending to daily challenges and threats. Socialism is an incipient threat to the healthy, wealthy society that (semi) free capitalism has created in America.
Leftist socialists believe the State and its people should take care of - even enrich - people who chose not to advance their own lives or who have opted for pleasurable addictions over self-development. Taking your socialist foolishness a step further has led us to building homes for dopers and drunks. There will be further steps too so long as Leftist
dementia is not reigned in.

I wish you would make the effort to grasp one or two of the human principles that make national socialism an impossible dream. Begin with the obvious reality that the easier we make it for people to minimize their efforts the more people will become lax. Who needs to work when everything is free? Who needs to work when the fruits of their labor are handed over to beggers and theives?
Dream on. Out.

If he thought there were cannibals registered to vote, he would be promising to deliver missionaries to their doorstep.

In answer to your question about his promises being socialism, yes most, if not all, of his policies would probably qualify. More importantly, everything he has been spewing for the last two years would qualify as fodder for fools' votes, also.

McCain is basically a liberal. Yet, Obama's stance is far to McCain's left in the political spectrum. It remains to be seen if the average voter is so dumbed-down and ignorant of the actual threat someone like Obama poses to the security of themselves and their nation. We'll know come November, won't we?
