Where's the gold confiscation in recent times?
Where are the FEMA camps that are in use?
I just can't fathom comparing anybody in today's political arena to people who lived 70 years ago. At least not to that extent.
I still maintain the RightWing/consertatives has a more Fascist agenda.

You said SPECIFICALLY and I QUOTE:
I'll be honest, when you compare the modern liberal to the people that worshiped Hitler before ww2, there is a striking resemblance.
The federal government had nothing to do with a New York city law. Please don't confuse local, state and federal interference.
Besides, the Federal government has no right, or should have no right to meddle in the affairs of the state. You don't like the law? Challenge it, get petitions for a ballot vote.
I don't see how you could encourage folks to stop thinking red vs blue, while your OP creates the illusion that one side is better than the other.

I spoke out just the same about the bullcrap Bush did. But people do need to get over this red vs blue garbage. All it does is divide this nation.
But don't you see that is exactly what you did in this thread by insulting and comparing a section of the electorate to Hitler worshipers? That wasn't hateful?
sheesh....edit on 6-4-2013 by olaru12 because: (no reason given)

Look, that wasn't even what I was comparing this to, it's the mentality of it all. You have 95% of the black population voting Democrat. Do you think our President being black is a coincidence? Honestly? The man was given a peace prize without doing a damn thing. The media completely ignores everything this administration does, including running guns to Mexican drug cartels. Why? It's state run media.

No, I don't think it was hateful because I stand behind my statement. Those people were not evil, they were simply misled. And that's honestly what I see when I look at the woman on welfare standing there crying for Obama like he's the 2nd coming of Christ. Call it racism, liberalism, stupidity... whatever. Those are the people that I'm talking about. The man can do no wrong in their eyes and to a certain extent, most Democrats simply because they refuse to separate themselves from their party.

It's taboo because it's the answer. And it's a damn shame that we can't have honest politicians in this country. So much pride and history yet no honest men to defend it? It's really not so much to ask for.

Wow ok, that's not creepy at all.
I think we are becoming socialists, little by little.
My kids came home yesterday to tell me how they learned to
barter at school. They made things then traded to get what they wanted.
Not make things people wanted then learn to sell it, and how to haggle.
It is just kids though maybe teaching trade, and not capitalism wasn't the
goal. Just having fun, so I'll over look it, but if my kids come home saying
they learned how great socialism, or communism is. The fights on.

Bartering is just an early form of capitalism. Think about it for a second, exchanging a good or service for a good or service is the same as exchanging a good or service for money in order to pay for a good or service. It just cuts out the monetary middle man. It is still capitalism. A lot of large corporations will make nonmonetary exchanges like this. Definitely NOT socialism or communism.
And you still have to report it as income to the IRS.

There are plenty of reasons for you to hate Obama, but him appealing to a demographic shouldn't be one of them.
I remember rabid Palin supporters.
Criticize Obama because he broke his promise to end the wars. That's my reason for bailing on his presidency. And I really resent being lumped in with Hitler devotees because at one time I believed him. You are guilty of being divisive as any partisan. Actually your partisanship shines brighter than a neon sign.edit on 6-4-2013 by olaru12 because: (no reason given)
Clearly the state owning your kids is nonsense, and this sort of rhetoric is extreme, but then again so is the way this article is presented. Infowars is notorious for making a mountain out of a mole hill.
It is the progressives that seek a fundamental transformation of the US.
