True, however Republican in party or conservative often is not small government or personal liberty and privacy at times. A "war on" insert topic is not small government, even if it is sugar coated as being "defense". Economically not all no government involved policy is always controlled in the end by the morally good, it can lead to being exploited by the powerful.
I agree. Republicans are not for small Government. They are for smaller Government than Democrats, but both support a huge and powerful government.
And both want to restrict our rights. The two parties just have a different list of rights that they want to restrict.
when you send a child to their room away from video games you have liberated them from video games.
If you liberate someone from their freedom you still have liberated them from something.
Liberal-------Liberate
Hahahahaa and liberating people from their wallet is still theft. If that means employers controlling the market price of labor it's so, if it means a representative raising taxes that's so, if it means a representative devaluing currency, or recklessly hyperinflating the cost of living claiming it's an economic boon... it's all the same 'liberation' from my wallet?
The difference between professions & crooks seems more the ability to legalize theft where most poor folks sit and stare in utter bewilderment sick at heart wondering what the heck to do about it. They aren't entirely wrong in that observation and I have no ready made answers for anyone. Small biz & resurrecting barter system seems the only logical way to go so that's where I went.
In today's world, liberal means big government telling us how to live our lives. And liberal means big government controlling markets and restricting freedom, personal rights and privacy.
In today's talk radio world, it means that.
Very few Americans are "liberal" in that sense. And yet the government keeps getting bigger and privacy continues to recede, no matter what party is in charge. Why is that?
Republicans (other than perhaps Sen. Paul and Rep. Paul) do not differ from Democrats in principle, only in what they want to spend our money on. And frankly when it comes to that, I prefer the Democrats.
Perhaps, "the natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground." Thomas Jefferson, 1788.
There is nothing like Jewish Civilization in Europe spanning 2000 years. Hadrian and his successors quelled them and sold them as slaves across the empire.
I disagree. There are books on European Jewish Civilization, universities teach courses on it, and museums are filled with artifacts attesting to it.
Perhaps you object to the term "civilization" and have a narrower definition of what constitutes a civilization. If it is a semantic issue, so be it.
By civilization I was referring to the development and creation of a unique cultural identity by the Jewish Diaspora in Europe ... some examples are the flowering of Jewish poetry and literature in Spain, Jewish religious mysticism in Medieval Central Europe, the building of synagogues and yeshivas, the artistry of ritual objects and art, the evolution of Jewish liturgical music, the rise of the Ladino and Yiddish languages, distinct Jewish musical forms such as Klezmer, etc.
Excellent quote. He is blatantly saying the masses are idiots. Do not trust groups, masses, or herds: they are idiots who are easily manipulated, brainwashed, and angered by destructive leaders. The Nazis, namely Goebbels, were heavily influenced by the work of public relations "genius" Edward Bernays.
There was a common tatic that almost all facist dictators used in order to get into power. Mussolini was the first to use it. In the begining of his political life he was a very "pink" journalist. This liberalism appealed to the poor who of course were the majority and then once he had gained and consolidated power he sold out to the big money, the corporations, the Roman Catholic church and all the traditional right wing power that had ruled for ever.
Hitler did the very same thing only on a much bigger scale. Hitler's popular message was that he was going to abolish the big money concerns that ruled the economy. The banks who he said were a part of an international Jewish cabal to take over the world. He promised full employment and a lot of benefits for the average German working man.
Now Hitler ran into a problem and that problem was $$$. He needed lots of it to finance his revolution and he got the money from guess who??? Big steel, big chemical, mining and coal interests, munitions industry and so on.
These money masters actually thought that they had Hitler in their pocket and once he came to power they would easily control his policies. Man were they wrong. I would aslo like to add that many American economic interests also helped the Nazi's a lot right up until 1941 when congress passed a law to prevent it. Just as an aside, this law did not prevent many Americans from trading with the Nazi's and one of G W Bushs uncles was one of the only Americans to be prosecuted for it.
Anyway Hitler didn't have it quite as easy as Muso. The entire left wing of the Nazi party wanted Hitlers liberal reforms once he became the leader of the country. These were the Brownshirts who had been with him since the begining and made it possible for him to rise to power. So the party was split one side extreme right and the other far left. Hitler was surrounded by a hoard of self seeking Nazi's pulling him this way and that. Goering gained the upper hand and pulled off the "Blood purge" where all the left wing leaders of the party were either killed, 1200 or so. or imprisoned in concentration camps. From that point on the Nazi party was the ultimate right wing system.
Hitler was supported by the right wingers from all over the world including the USA, Canada, UK, France, Spain, etc.
His appeal to these right wingers was two fold. One, he would put down communism once and for all. Two he would crush unions and create complete labour stability.
If you look closely at who the driving forces are in the right wing world of today, you will find them the same folks who supported Hitler and his economic ideas.
Crazy with serial killer tendencies. I can't put him in any category of liberal or conservative. He was just nuts. Those around him and the German people at that time saw the craziness coming in, too bad they couldn't see it.
