so that's all that is needed to be a fascist is merge corporate with government??

Majority of industrialized countries have merged corporate and government powers, are they all Fascists?

Almost every US President since the industrial revolution served under a government that merged with corporate powers, are they all Fascist??

Maybe you should heed your own words, as babbling seems to be YOUR strong suit.
That would be an example of cherry picking data and ignoring the larger picture. From The Economist which is one of the best and most reputable news magazines on Earth.

Not at all. If you have some critisism of Obama that is based on TRUTH, that is absolutely fine. The thing is that most of the griping about him is based on lies, misrepresentations and just plain idiot stupidity. Almost all political anaylsis coming from the opponents of the administration is at a kindergarten level. The fact remains that because over 90% of the complains about this president are based on lies and misrepresentations that there must be some hidden reason his opponents hate him so. I can only conclude the obvious that it is not what he does or believes but WHO HE IS. A black man as POTUS.

Please help me understand.
Trots aren't commies either, they're counter-revolutionary.




This should clear things up a bit:

Only in that we finally had the resources to hook that kind of thing up by then.

Definition of fascist Urban Dictionary: fascist

People think this is what is modern day America?
Neither Obama nor Romney fit the description..
Also the word Communist has devolved from its original meaning and is now Just a buzz word used by righties to describe any one who disagrees with them politically and is interchangeable with Marxist,socialist, anti American.

The truth is not rantings.. but as to some they don't want to see what Obama is.. a rose by any other name is still a rose.. Obama and his social justice is a code word for communism.. like it or not. Many will vote again for a communist and are blind. This is nothing new..it is a monomania of the masses.

Your graft includes state and local workers.. the Republican party is for states to have the power not big federal government take over.

I do, however, view calling Obama a communist to be as damaging, if not more so, to the Republican party ( which I was a member of) than to the Democratic party.
No one using our logic is a Republican, we're smarter than that...! I'm sure me making a comment on a blog site is going to change thousands of peoples minds.
Try again when you can at least fake being in a world of reality.. I can spot an obama voter blocks away...
If you can't see obama for what is truly is, then vote for him, you will be on the losing side...
