Most of ...Stan, I agree with you 98% on this issue. Most of the cries of "Marxist!" or "Fascist!" that we hear in current discourse are uninformed hyperbole. But there are intelligent things to be said about Hitler, Stalin, and historical parallels thereto. And I think Dr. Newquist is on to something in identifying similarities in the rhetorical tactics of today's hard right with the tactics of Mussolini and Hitler. <br /><br />I'll keep your link handy, Stan, but somehow I suspect if you use any of those terms, you'll actually be making a thoughtful, valid point.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-17683211668312649612010-03-21T23:11:45.411-06:002010-03-21T23:11:45.411-06:00The instant I see any of the following words or na...The instant I see any of the following words or names (or their variants) in a blog post or comment, used with the intent of comparison to current political parties or figures, I instantly stop taking said post or comment seriously:<br /><br />Marxist<br />Communist<br />Fascist<br />Nazi<br />Hitler<br />Stalin<br /><br />Them words is <i>sooooo</i> old.<br /><br />Cory, if I ever commit such a blunder in one of my comments, call me on it, and link right back here!

It really is sad that you are not only alienated from truth and sanity, but from your very own country that provides the many blessings you enjoy--with no thanks whatsoever for those blessings, I might add; only whining and bellyaching about what a terrible place America has been. <br /><br />Neither you nor Newquist would recognize real facism because you're desensitized to its face; you see it every morning when you shave.<br /><br />You really stretch beyond the bounds of creduilty when you try to make the claim--in defiance of multiple examples throughout history and around the world--that socialist "solutions" resemble anything like good "policy" or "make America better" (for who? Leeches, parasites, and the "pigs" of George Orwell's "Animal Farm"?)<br /><br />Oh, and there is one final fallacy of yours I should point out. America is not a democracy. We are a republic, a constitutional republic. <br /><br />And unlike you and your anti-American ilk, real Americans who love our country mean to preserve that constitution and our republic, no matter how far you go to rip them both to shreds.<br /><br />And we will.Bob Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413354616356999953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-34163954980447071032010-03-21T20:05:01.794-06:002010-03-21T20:05:01.794-06:00If this snake-oil does get passed into law, it is ...If this snake-oil does get passed into law, it is never coming of the books.
