Well, Starbucker I'm still waiting on your sysnopsis of how my original post personally attacked you? Nevermind like your original post it will be without merit.

Totalitarian ? Government control ? Far right ? Thats an oxymoron, if ive ever seen one. that would be equivalent to saying Jewish Nazi.

Well, gosh, I disagree with your hyper-partisan, knee-jerk take on it. What does that make me?

More than likely, you would have complained no matter what was written. The fact that you used ad hominem as your main grounds for dismissing it speaks volumes and tells me that I am likely right about that feeling.

But do continue to wax intellectual and try to cover your own demagoguery as a desire for a more academic and accurate presentation... while you name call and reveal that you are extremely partisan. Such awesome academics (read: "mental gymnastics").

No doubt about it.

Exactly. Take national healthcare, certainly not a right side of the aisle program.

So the republican support of a global network of 700 military bases and massive military spending in no way strikes you as hypocritical to their stand on small-government? Never quite understood this self-denial.

Great informative read since there has been historical revisionism from folks on the political right like Jonah Goldberg.
Perhaps your desire to know this madman should give you reason to visit his hometown and stay there to learn more. No to become educated is more like it. This was years ago who gives a hoot!!!!

If the Nazis were left wing, why are all Neo Nazi's right wing?
