That picture is great! Perfect for a zot thread.
Buh-bye Snottlick!
Wait unti Friday and see if you still say that...
Your bath day is Friday too?!?!? Maybe you could adjust your screen name as the week progresses to reflect the daily changes? :) You know, such as ...
Saturday=Squeaky_Clean
Sunday=Still_pretty_good
Monday=Gettin_a_little_moist
etc.... :)
After reading the original article, I must say that when you are that far to the left, most of the world must look like right wing extremists. Folks who believe that GWB is a right wing fundamentalist, have no clue as to religiosity or politics in the real world.
Soon to come: "Well there has never been a pure socialist state" argument and apology.
Oh, you're not "dead" yet!
Well then, enjoy what's left of your stay at FreeRepublic!
It used the phrase "corporate controlled media" on another thread, sure troll sign.
Adam Smith called it Mercantilism, which could also be called compassionate fascism.
Currently in the GOP there is a struggle between Capitalism and Mercantilism. Capitalists tend to be supply siders for low taxes and low spending. Mercantilists tend to be for Government helping business.
Thus Bush imposed steel tarriffs to help the steel mills and just sent the factories that use steel overseas rather than enticing them to buy American steel.
Thus there is an omnibus pork bill. A bailout of mis-managed airlines. An SBA. Tax loopholes to subsidize ADM and make The Andreas family the welfare queens of Illinois.
"It used the phrase "corporate controlled media" on another thread, sure troll sign."
It's NOT corporate controlled?
Well, yes. But we are trying to fight you liberals with everything we can...
Let us hope that at least the wiser homeschooled children of our Nation are taught this history. They, in particular, will need it.
Thank you for the post.
I see that a link has appeared in the article header. Could the nature of that link be the reason you omitted it?
In like manner, Adolf Hitler promised the Germans equality and prosperity through regulation and control of private wealth and industry. Hitler called his movement National Socialism (which was shortened to the acronym Nazi) because he was promising the same utopian benefits as the socialists promised, but without the pain of the immediate confiscation of all property and wealth. Like the democratic progessives, the fascist tyrants argued that the fascist way to prosperity and equality was the only hope for defeating the Communists.
Fascism was and is a political philosophy in which a strong central government permits, but regulates and taxes, private wealth and property in order to achieve the utopian socialist ideal.
Because fascist controls of business and private property can never produce the promised result of equality, freedom, and economic prosperity any more than socialist promises can, fascist politicians must always be looking for someone to blame for their failures while continuing to promise even greater future economic and social miracles. Both socialists and fascists must demonize those who object to the state taking over control of their property, businesses, and lives in order to justify the violence that the political leaders will inflict on them. Fascism and socialism grow only in the soil of envy and hate.
no, it was sent to me by a school chum
I just never googled it
Now if you can just get these leftist cheese eaters to stop trying to conceal their true identity by using fraudulent labels of their ideology.
Progressive = Communist
They don't fool anyone here.

Koreans emphasize defense
"Two delegations of U.S. lawmakers, including Tom Lantos, have been visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Lantos, a right-wing Democrat from California, co-sponsored a bill passed by Congress last year that imposes new sanctions on the DPRK (North Korea).
For years the U.S. capitalist establishment, which decimated Korea in a terrible war in the 1950s and has kept over 30,000 troops in the southern half of that divided country ever since, has tried to force the leaders in the north to give up their socialist system. Imperialist strategists thought it would be easy once the Soviet Union collapsed. Indeed, that and a series of natural disasters, plus the death of Korea's legendary liberation leader, Kim Il Sung, created a period of severe hardship for the DPRK in the 1990s."
Snip
What's your neutral opinion of this ever so neutral editorial from Worker's World?
They seem to love the NKorean form of government..How dare they whine about fascism in the US..HYPOCRITES..They excuse socialist/communist tyranny ,oppression, lack of human rights.
As long as it's socialists, communists oppressing..it's just dandy with"progressives"...Jail all dissidents, slit the throats of those who don't follow the leader.Confiscate their property..It's fine if you are "progressive"(socialist, communist, now Islamofascists get a pass)
Suicide bombers and terrorists are merely killing their"oppressors" Israelis or Americans..oops if they kill Iraqis or murder"collaborators...Cop killers are merely killing their oppressors..
Everything is excused by the "progressives" as long as it's against the US.
While I disagree with much of this article, the author is correct in saying that regardless of what you call it, even from the most negative point of view, there's no fascism here.
