Really?
If the people want to elect a fascist I absolutely will do everything I can to stand in the way. You do realize that the founders actually set up our government in a way that was supposed to moderate the opinions of the masses which they feared.
They deliberately split the legislative power between the house and the senate and had the senators elected elected every six years and by the state legislatures rather than a popular vote in order to protect against the passions of the masses.
Who is this fascist of whom we speak? Or did you forget the < /rhetorical statement > tag?
Amazing how fascist your comment is. Project much?
If the people choose to elect Trump over the establishment, then you can either live with it or leave. Just like the rest of your liberal authoritarian crowd. Calling yourselves “conservatives” used to work as camouflage, but no longer.
The nation has finally seen thru the globalist scam you neocons have run for the last 30 years. Good riddance.
well, bye.
Well color me a fascist then. Can you have a conversation without labels?
Doubtful.
That why you “never Trump” supporters have no credibility you thrown around the term “fascist” as fast and loose as every demagoguing leftist does.... pure left-wing tactics...
any conservatives know this is same old demagoguing BS we’ve heard for years.... just because you’re doing it claiming it’s from the right it doesn’t change it
do you think you have any more credibility now that your a Glenn Beck school alinskyite?
“If the people want to elect a fascist I absolutely will do everything I can to stand in the way. You do realize that the founders actually set up our government in a way that was supposed to moderate the opinions of the masses which they feared.”
Oh will you knock it off, Drama Queen.
There isn’t any boogieman Fascists running, no matter how much you dont like Trump, or wish Cruz had the support he has.
The establishment is actually fascism.
I too oppose Bernie and Hillary from gaining the White House.
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the "Great Society," or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must accept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people. But they've been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves; and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations. For example, they have voices that say, "The cold war will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says, "The profit motive has become outmoded. It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state." Or, "Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century." Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the President as "our moral teacher and our leader," and he says he is "hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document." He must "be freed," so that he "can do for us" what he knows "is best." And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."
Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
“Fascist”? You don’ know what the word means.
One of the great hallmarks of the real loser is that when he can't intelligently communicate his unreasonable fears he resorts to calling the object of that fear a 'racist' or a 'fascist' or a 'nazi'.
Liberals make a career out of it.
Nice job.
Ted Cruz isn’t exactly a Fascist, not quite yet. His wife is on a leave of absence from the bank. When she returns, that’s when I’ll worry. Trump should win though, we’ll be fine.
Adios.
Good riddance.
Well, bye.
“If the people want to elect a fascist I absolutely will do everything I can to stand in the way.”
But looks like you won’t be doing at FR. Guess you could always move to Daily Kos or Democratic Underground. You’ll be much more effect there anyway in trying to stop Trump.
You can help elect someone guaranteed to appoint Barack Hussein Obama as the fifth communist to the Supreme Court, in which case the the U.S. Constitution will thus finally be permanently relegated by the “Progressives” to its well deserved position as a historically curious piece of meaningless dusty old parchment scribbled by a bunch of irrelevant dead white men, and any rights you may formerly have enjoyed under its former protection will be gone forever. When they come to confiscate all of your firearms, please remember your proudly principled support of President Hillary Clinton.
Who on the Republican side is a fascist?
“If the people want to elect a fascist I absolutely will do everything I can to stand in the way.”
Then your “everything you can possibly” do isn’t very good, because we’ve been run by facist oligarchs in the executive and judicial branch for quite some time now. Oh yeah, that won’t change regardless of who is elected either.
“...enmasse”
Really?
Trump is not a fascist and it is sad that someone on this forum is lame enough to think he is.
Same here.
