The purge of the moderate republicans is part of the same pattern. If you are not for us, you are the ENEMY!!!!!!! Socialist/marxist/communist are just insults for the small minded.

Funny thing is, the pattern of irrational intolerance, rejection of compromise, and relentless pursuit of power by money, religion, and military groups on the right does smack me as more and more fascist. I would never have said that bout GWB, as much as I disliked him as president. But Cheney and the current Tea Party types (who are well represented on the forum) seem to fit the type very closely. They seem to show no respect for their fellow citizens or the world of facts. It is all about propaganda and grabbing power. That sounds fascist to me. Not saying Romney is like that, but for example the lady who said "pretend it's Obama" to Santorum at the shooting range, fit the type.
GWB looks slightly progressive (and decent) compared to the fascist posters on here at times.

Todays TP and their ilk would elect Joe McCarthy, they promote violence and vitriol using the end justifies the means as "staying the course" to get "their" country back on track. Sad.

Ahh... you have been reading the Joe McCarthy Handbook for Paranoid Bullies, I see.
That crap hasn't flown since Joe drank himself to death and finally tipped over. C'mon... at least you can try to come up with something that isn't out of 1951, can't you?

I hate Obama too, and I'm a centrist...but I hate him for rational reasons (NDAA, the bailouts, the continued wars, deficit spending etc)

I mean, there is no way in hell Obama could be a communist, socialist, fascist whose also a black supremacist Muslim Atheist from Kenya who's owned by Jewish bankers

In my eyes, he's a just a sell out and a corrupt douche-weasel...but so is Romney, so I guess I'm voting third party this election.

A man who shares his wealth is admirable.
A man who shares another man's wealth, by coercion, is despicable.
A man who wants government coercion to share your wealth is president.

Fish in the socialist fishbowl may congregate to the left or right side of the fishbowl, but they're still stuck in the socialist fishbowl.

Remember :
From the Communist manifesto:
"In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."

You have already said this and do not understand what it means.

Please cite how "the FDR administration" altered the most famous line in the Declaration of Independence without anyone but you noticing. I am really curious to hear how that happened.
