First, what did Barack say regarding “state-ism” and second what is state-ism? Barack said (paraphrase) “that rich people did very well and could afford to be taxed more on their giving because they gained from the economy”.The problem with this thinking is that these people gained in a good economy because of right choices and their individual circumstance. Not because the “state” gave this to them. These people don’t owe the government anything more than a small obligation. This leads into statism. State-ism is where liberal left wing progressives (backwards) want everyone to get their “sustenance” from the state. Healthcare, money, jobs everything. This type of thinking destroys invidual achievement and dignity. Yes dignity. When people are faced with hardship they change and have two choices. Either they make right choices or make wrong choices. State-ism wants to stop people from making wrong choices thus crippling their growth.
This thinking is leads directly to socialism (state welfare society) and then to communism. God help us.

I remember when conservatives were deemed by the left… neo-cons. I had to research what this meant.
What do neoconservatives believe?
“Neo-cons” believe that the United States should not be ashamed to use its unrivaled power – forcefully if necessary – to promote its values around the world. Some even speak of the need to cultivate a US empire. Neoconservatives believe modern threats facing the US can no longer be reliably contained and therefore must be prevented, sometimes through preemptive military action.

I have come up with the left wing Democrats version of neo con. Neo Comms aka Neo Communists.
What do Neo Comms believe:
“We want our country to be liked by Europe, and thus we want to model our society after the government-run societies of Europe which are built on fairness. Since Americans don’t really understand socialism we can create government programs that will “take care of people”, and make them beholden to us thus Americans will elect our philosophies, and thus move American toward communism instead of consumerism”. Our tag line is: “You deserve more taxes because we say so.”
Scary…
