And this is 2011. You need to realize that this is NOT one sided.
This country is going to hell in a handbasket and some people just want to assign blame and then sit back and "feel good" that their side is innocent.

Congress is doing the same thing..the blame game and nothing is getting done.

Absolutely but the right won't have it. Obama and the dems tried to work with the right on the tax cuts but they refused and threatened to shut down the entire government unless they got them.
The two biggest spending items are the wars, and the tax cuts. If all we did was bring the troops home, and let the tax cuts expire like Bush and the republicans wanted them to, the economy would do a complete 180 almost immediately.

tax cuts to individuals are not a spending item.The biggest item in the budget is entitlements

the two biggest spending items are medicare/caid ...over 840 billion(498 billion and 343 billion respectivly)
and the defense budet.........................................700 billion
and SS

the tax cuts are not part of the problem

and the wars have averaged less that 150 billion a year...infact without the wars, bush would have had a surplus through most of his 8 years..WITH the tax cuts

nope its left...unless you are saying that marxism, socialism..ie progressiveism..ie liberalism is rightwing
???

fascist, socialist, nazist, communist, all fathered by marx..ie marxism

progressives are socialists, but fascist socialists...and the neo-con (former democrats( sometimes called reagan democrats) are right in their too, because they are progressive (liberal ) in spending, but have a religios background (mostly southern baptists( ie 'bluedog' democrats))

its the progressive liberal fascist way

liberalism (fascism) always wants to CONTROL

Zbigniew Brzezinski advisor to carter, clinton and obama.....""This is a form of Socialism known as fascism, and it will be the type of world government the power elite plans ultimately to bring about and control. In this government, the power elite will control politicians who will become government leaders who will promulgate laws, rules and regulations favorable to certain transnational corporations"""


As an ardent admirer of Marx, Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) called his version of Marxist socialism "Fascism" Instead of nationalization--government ownership--of private business, Mussolini advocated government control of business via complete bureaucratic regulation.


""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini

“Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which diverent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State.” - Benito Mussolini



In a laudatory review of Roosevelt's 1933 book Looking Forward, Mussolini wrote, "Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices.… Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change resembles that of Fascism"


marxism, socialism, communism, fascism, progressivism, liberalism...all part of the same family

"If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees." bill clinton

"The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them." Lennin

H.G. Wells was of the greatest influences on the progressive mind in the twentieth century (and, it turns out, the inspiration for Huxley's Brave New World). Wells didn't coin the phrase as an indictment, but as a badge of honor. Progressives must become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis," he told the Young Liberals at Oxford in a speech in July 1932.

Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.) Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities. Where socialism abolished money and prices, fascism controlled the monetary system and set all prices and wages politically. In doing all this, fascism denatured the marketplace. Entrepreneurship was abolished. State ministries, rather than consumers, determined what was produced and under what conditions.


Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said: “The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.” (Barkai 1990, pp. 26–27).....(think about that when you pay your property taxes)





"A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." Saul alinsky

Its not hard to understand; The progressives (aka todays liberals which took over the democratic party) have been in bed with the elite since the late 1880's................these are the same people that created the fed, the same people that passed the income tax amendment in 1913, the same people that supported the european socialists and the nasi's, and the fascists

progressives have helped in some areas (child labor laws, etc) but their sole intent is to 'socialize' the united states, to either "nationalize" the entire country and its corporations (main stream socialist way), or to so over regulate the corporations (the fascist way)

This is why the progressives of today call themselves "liberal". They hijacked the word after progressive was tainted with Hitler, Eugenics, population control, economic fascism, etc.

the history is there, just because you dont like that people like mussilini and hitler tarnished the name of progressives, doesnt mean it didnt happen

Try again. I don't know why these false views keep coming up thread after thread. One thread people actually in germany were laughing at those who thought fascism and nazism were far left

"The ideologies usually associated with the far right include fascism, Nazism and other ultra-nationalist, religiously extreme or reactionary ideologies"
