Sorry, but you have no trained thought. Hate of a republic that Neil, I and others stand for spews from your mouth. It’s either a conspiracy theory, or the “rich” people, republicans etc. are to blame. You have never defined “rich” by the way. Typical. You will never change. By the way, I’m a “commoner” as you call the little guy that we allegedly take advantage of.
What are you? I came from nothing and made something and now I’m bad???? Rob, get a life!! As previously stated, you don’t know, nor have been throughout the world to see the other side. I have. Other than the left wing side propaganda, that’s all you really know. Please corect me if I’m wrong.
Enough said about this entire issue.

We have more important issues, such as “Global cooling”, not warming and Cap and Trade.

Now, if you look at the definition of Liberalism, this is not what Liberals in America are following today. If you are really a Liberal, you would be against the takeover of the auto and health industries by the government. But what are Liberals doing? Taking over private industries.
What system above does that fall under? It’s not Liberalism, or Capitalism. No, that is Communism.
And what about AGW? They want to regulate industries through centralized control. That is not Liberalism, or Capitalism either.
So what do you call it?

And what you think is not possible is exactly what happened in Germany in the 30’s and 40’s. Nazi is the term they used for National Socialism.
So, what started out to be National Socialist policies brought a raving lunatic Fascist into power.
I think you need to do some historical research before you call me ignorant. Because you have no idea what you’re talking about.
AGW is a lie!

Word History: It is fitting that the name of an authoritarian political movement like Fascism, founded in 1919 by Benito Mussolini, should come from the name of a symbol of authority. The Italian name of the movement, fascismo, is derived from fascio, “bundle, (political) group,” but also refers to the movement’s emblem, the fasces, a bundle of rods bound around a projecting axe-head that was carried before an ancient Roman magistrate by an attendant as a symbol of authority and power. The name of Mussolini’s group of revolutionaries was soon used for similar nationalistic movements in other countries that sought to gain power through violence and ruthlessness, such as National Socialism.

So get off of your high horse Rob. I think it is you that has been the victim of propaganda.
AGW is a lie!

Although the ultra-right usually cringes at the comparison to Hitler, he is the ultimate fascist, and certainly, up to now, came closest to imposing the obscenity of fascism upon us. Hitler hated the working class and believed them to be mere tools, at best, and useless hindrances, at worst, to ubermensches such as himself. This disdain for the commoner found its ultimate expression in the ovens of Hitler’s own special little hell. If not for the widespread revulsion caused by the blowback from Germany’s failed attempt at fascism, we would be experiencing it right now (and many argue that we are, an argument seldom heard by the public since it is banned by the corporate controlled media), and if an equally vile current generation of uber-wannabees gets their way, we will again indeed.

Deception is what got fascists into power in Germany, and remains their ultimate weapon. This is an essential element because the majority is despised by the worshippers of elitism and must not be allowed to catch on that there is nothing but exploitation and victimhood ahead for most of them. Fascism takes from the majority and lavishes ALL upon the minority of those identified as ubermensches by the ruling fascists. Deception requires control of the media, obviously, but is not limited to that since all statements to the public must be similarly carefully crafted to hide the real agenda, whether invading Poland for lebensraum or Iraq for oil.

One of the Cold War deceptions is that we are forced to choose between a state owning everything or a few private individuals owning everything. Our republican (little “r”) democracy allows us to mold a far better system than either fascism or communism.

-”Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.” (From Prof. Lawrence Britt’s “Characterisitics of Fascism”
- “Sure we’ll have fascism in America, but it’ll come disguised as 100 percent Americanism.” – Sen. Huey P. Long
- “Fascists are first and foremost illiberal and anti-liberal.” Mussolini
- “Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” (Benito Mussolini, Encyclopedia Italiana)
