State Rep. Floyd calls Obama ’socialist’
State Rep. Richard Floyd, R-Chattanooga, ventured into national gun politics this week with an e-mail to GOP friends in which he called President Barack Obama a “socialist leader” and top administration officials a “gang of thugs.”
And? That’s exactly what he is, and his minions ARE a “gang of thugs”.
In the e-mail sent Thursday from his personal account, Rep. Floyd wrote, “I pray all of us will take heed to what socialist leader Obama and his gang of thugs are trying to do to this country. We had better fear the government that fears our guns. Thanks to my friend Ed Warren and many others who are helping expose this bill.”
This is one of the major problems with a great many forwarded emails. One thing I always do is check the validity of the info that’s contained in the body. If I find it to be off target or totally false, I will respond to the person who sent it, and let them know what I found. I really wish more people would do a bit of investigating before forwarding these emails. I’m thinking Rep. Floyd is wishing he had. 
State Rep. JoAnne Favors, D-Chattanoga, said regarding Rep. Floyd’s calling President Obama a socialist that “fortunately, we’re in a democratic society where we have free speech. … I am sorry that Rep. Floyd feels that way because as elected leaders, I think it’s incumbent … to look at more than one side of an issue. I think that we should really be informed.”
Well, actually madam, we are a republic, NOT a ‘democratic society’. Don’t you wish those who are elected to “representative” knew the actual history of the country? Rather sad, isn’t it.
Rep. Floyd said in a Chattanooga Times Free Press interview, “I didn’t research that thing (SB2099) back far enough before I sent that e-mail. It just made me mad when I saw it.”
But he isn’t backing away from his criticism of President Obama and Cabinet members.
“I tell you, right now we’re so close to socialism it’s not even funny,” Rep. Floyd said. “We now own the auto manufacturers, we now own banks and we’re trying to own the health care system. … We got a great socialist leader up there.”
If anyone bothered to actually look at the facts, then they’d see the same thing most sane people are seeing. There IS a socialist sitting in the Oval Office.
He said “you can’t deny he (Obama) has a band of thugs around him. You look at Rahm Emanuel, and what’s the guy (Eric Holder) who’s the attorney general right now?”
The lawmaker doesn’t think it is unduly harsh to characterize top Obama officials as a “group of thugs” given many of their backgrounds stem from the rough-and-tumble politics of Chicago.
“Cross them and you’ll find out how big a thugs they are,” he said. “I don’t know if we can survive four years of this.”
Thugs is actually a polite way of putting it. No sir, I don’t think we will be able to survive this administration. I pray that people in this country will snap out of their stupor and take the Congress away from them. If he doesn’t have Congressional support, his policies can’t be implemented.
I congratulate Rep. Floyd for speaking the truth!
