Freepers live in Sean Hannity Glenn Beck self serving illusion land that fascism is actually leftism

Freeper logic means all right wing ideology is a OK

Franco,,,,a phalangist fascist would be amused to hear he’s a leftist now

Jeff Davis ditto to learn since by same insane reasoning that all dems are the same.....old Jeff must support transgenderism and abortion on demand and open borders same as Maxine waters.....

This sort of reductionist simplicity logic is for the uninquisitive dullards

And I like Franco for the record......fascist or not.....any catholic should appreciate Franco

My view of fascism is that it was nationalist socialism, whereas communism was internationalist socialism. But even in Soviet Russia, there was a kind of messianic view of Russia. The philosopher Berdyaev talked about it. Putin may have - sincerely or not - tried to tap into that old idea of Mother Russia.

The former gets an article 32 hearing, followed by a general court-martial, followed by a period of confinement, followed by a dishonorable discharge.

The latter gets a fat pension and lucrative “consulting” gigs with defense contractors.

Does not bode well for the future of the Corps, or the United States.

That’s why I always tell people that I am “OLD CORPS”; not this new PUSSY BULLSH!T contract corporal crap they are now days.

Back in the 60’s and very early 70’s when I was in, our job was to blow sh!t up and kill people!
We were pretty damn good at it to!

In the OLD CORPS you didn’t see male “Marines” kissing at the end of a deployment. You didn’t see female infantry commanders. You didn’t see Sikhs given permission to wear a turban in uniform. And disturbingly, you didn’t see young girls who should have been starting families blown away by enemy bombs. You didn’t see suggestions that males who want to chop off their penises should be respected.
And you NEVER saw communism and blatant contempt for the constitution.

They attacked the USMC because it represented old America.

I agree, and it’s really a problem.

Look, I agree that the rank and file should not be criticizing
the leadership, but if the generals are going against service
policy and really screwing things up, there should be a way
to get it out there.

Remember back when Kerry was shooting his mouth off, lying
about everyone? I don’t remember any disciplinary action
back then. And then there should have been.

The military became WOKE as a result of the magic negro firing a couple hundred high ranking officers and replacing them with his sycophants.
A-holes like Milley.

“fascism” is a term the LEFT lied about and said it was a right wing movement. The truth is it is LEFTY thru and thru.

There’s a simpler dividing line:

A) Those who feel the State should control people and make decisions for them and that people have a duty to work to advance the goals of the State, as laid down by the Leaders, or

B) Those who feel that people have the right to make their own decisions, and pursue their own goals and dreams, and that the purpose of government is to maintain a safe and orderly environment for them to do so.

And I agree with you that Franco was one of the good guys, who saved Spain from a Communist blood bath.

“Milley actually discussed our nuclear weapons policy with
Communist China, and had a plan to circumvent the President
of the United States from fulfilling his duties to protect
this nation.”

Funny how that story has disappeared like Brian Laundrie. Brian will be found, the story won’t be.

This is what happens when you don’t have an opposition party. The House GOP recently voted to increase the Biden/Austin DOD budget. This is one party state fascism.

The military became woke long before the the kenyan arrived on the scene.

If one were to take just a moment to look at everything going on across the nation from the removal of due process for the capitol “rioters” to the vaccine mandates, it’s really hard to find any remains of the republic we used to be.

Since January, the Democrats have systematically destroyed our nation. They’re tearing down the walls to the studs.

He will be remembered as the only Marine officer who seemed to have moral courage.

I thought he has also resigned? If so then how can they jail him? Or am I thinking of another officer?
