many are simple tools which can’t think for themselves.

I watched some of them at the St. Paul “protest”. All most of them could spout were “rant chants” and obscenities.

As bad as Fascists are, they’re pikers compared to Communists.

I've used nearly this exact phrase myself.

BTW, I've noticed that liberals get irritated when you compare Fascism and Communism. They tend to want to come to Communism's defense. It's evidence of an interesting asymmetry in the way conservatives relate to Fascism and liberals relate to Communism. Conservatives utterly reject Fascism from first principles, but to liberals Communism is just a little too much of a good thing.

I agree with your comments. I would perhaps rephrase the communist end of it though. Leftists think the only reason communism didn’t succeed was because it was corrupted the only times it was tried.

They still think that under the right circumstances, communism would beat the pants off capitalism.

Russia, the leaders were flawed. China, the leaders were flawed. Cuba, the leader may have been flawed, but the U.S. ultimately caused it’s failure.

“Too much of a good thing.” LOL, that is funny huh.

Sitting in a Texas airport, three men awaited their shuttle flight, an Apache Indian, a local ranch hand on his way to Ft. Worth for a stock show, and an Arab student, newly arrived in Texas from the Middle East.

To pass the time they strike up a conversation on recent events. The two Westerners learn that the Arab student is a devout Muslim, and the conversation falls into an uneasy silence.

After a while, the Indian clears his throat and softly, he speaks: “Once my people were many, now we are few.”

The Muslim raises an eyebrow and leans forward, “Once my people were few,” he sneers, “and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?”

The Texan shifts the toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says, “’Cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet”.

The mass market media would have you believe that fascism equates to conservatism. Not true at all.

'Nazi' is actually short for the national SOCIALIST workers party. Both fascists and communists are on the same side of the political spectrum.

Add it all up and the democrats these days are straight up fascists in the original sense.

You may already be familiar with this piece, which contains some amazing quotes. Said Hitler:

"There is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists. I have always made allowance for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communists always will."

I had not seen this before. Very interesting read.

As you may be able to guess from the Cyrillic writing accompanying it, it was a Soviet Swastika -- used by the Red Army during and after World War I. It was worn as a shoulder patch by some Soviet troops. The Swastika too was a socialist symbol long before Hitler became influential. Prewar socialists (including some American socialists) used it on the grounds that it has two arms representing two entwined letters "S" (for "Socialist"). So even Hitler's symbolism was Leftist.

Very telling that Hitler lifted a lot of Friedrich Engels ideas...just like Clinton lifted Hitler's gun control platform almost word for word.

Ron Paul may be against the war, but he does not deserve to be put in with this bunch. I am not a Paul supporter, but have read his comments on the Constitution for over a decade. He is not a Marxist, nor a Muslim apologist, but an Isolationist.

You may be right, however these guys sure do love him and he sure is not actively refusing the support. So I’d just call it a draw

Yeah, they love him. But only because they can point to him and say he agrees with them on this one issue. If they could comprehend why he takes that stance, they would rapidly lose enthusiasm.

His basis is a document and philosophy which is juxtaposed to the whole liberal/socialist agenda.

In this instance, much as subduing the Barbary Pirates, I agree something needs/needed to be done, and in this case I disagree with Ron Paul. However, we are in for a protracted conflict, especially if the American people do not realize the stakes here, and who the enemy really is.

And that is the sole issue I have with him, mostly. But it is one hell of an issue.

Re: “’Cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet”

Now, that's pretty damned funny... I like that 'en, True.

Good thing he does, True, old sport... Gus is still itching to shoot at an educated man, if we can convince him lawyers are educated
