somalia..been there done that




hmmm Somalia a liberals dream...

actually it has had many governments...mostly BIG goverment, or better said totolitarian

prior to 1960 somolia was a british and italian territory's (know as british somaliland and italain solaliland)

from 1960 to 1991 was known as somaliland or the somali republic...and had a quazi Parliamentary style government that has little oversight of the executive brach that rules with a iron first...until

1991 civil war..since then the country has been divided and RULED with the governments of WARLORDS....

in 2004 In 2004, a transitional federal government was formed which didnt do much and has been opposed by neighboring countries , currently it is warlords under sharia law, rules by the islamic union



using somalia is a poor example for EITHER side of the arguement

Fascism is nationalistic, militaristic, xenophobic, and totalitarian.

Socialism is internationalist, non-aggressive, universalist and democratic.





Here is a more fitting quote:

- Benito Mussolini

By that definition, what ideology would these guys be?

Koch Brothers Exposed
fascism/socialism/communism/marxism dont REQUIRE a dictator..but any time you make the government so big and powerful a totalitarian or dictator could esily step in

liberalism leads to dictators


do you even know what right/left mean...it means to show a DIFFERENCE ie one the ONE hand this, to the OTHER hand this.....democrats are right wing compared to liberals

naziism, fascism, comunism, socialism , marxism ALL come from the progressive movement..ALL are about REDUCING individual RIGHTS and freedoms

the american liberals are the SAME as the european fascists of the 1930'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 suppored the european socialists and the nasi's, and the fascists

"""You know I am a juggler, and I never let my right hand know what my left hand does. I'm perfectly willing to mislead and tell untruths""""...FDR, May 1941
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.

Quote:
Quote:
"""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
sounds just like american liberals

or how about someone more current..a advisor to carter, bush1, clinton and obama: ....Vlad Lennin and Zbigniew Brzezinski ..........

Quote:
"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


....Zbigniew Brzezinski .....""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"""
notice the GLOBALIST theme

dont belive me.....here is HGWells( a well known socialist) in 1932

Quote:
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.
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."

""""Stalin is my "brother".."""" - FDR after Tehran

FDR gave a speech in Troy, NY, 3 March 1912, in which he laid out his philosophy - he placed the "liberty of the community" over "the liberty of the individual."

"The Russian newspapers during the last election (1932) published the photograph of Franklin D. Roosevelt over the caption 'the first communistic President of the United States'." -- Senator Thomas D. Schall

Stalin called FDR in Dec 1933, "a decided and courageous leader." In 1934 he praised FDR's "initiative, courage and determination".


FDR defined Freedom of Religion as Stalin did.
FDR defined Freedom of Speech as Stalin did, i.e. he used the Marxist formulation 'Freedom of Information' in his speeches.
FDR pressed a bill to eliminate the right to bear arms, the guarantee of all others.
FDR told Churchill that "an unwritten Constitution is better than a written one." When reminded there was the Constitution, FDR said after his 1936 inauguration "Yes, but it's the Constitution as I understand it - flexible enough (to do what he wanted)." He admiringly told Churchill that Stalin didn't have to worry about Congresses and Parliaments, "he's the whole works." In a letter to a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, FDR wrote- " I hope your committee will not permit doubt as to Constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation." FDR did not believe in Constitutional checks and balances - he tried to destroy and was prepared to defy the Supreme Court and Congress. He did not believe in advise and consent or the rule of law - he waged war and made treaties without Congressional approval. He did not believe in representative democracy and often said that since Congress did not reflect the will of the people they should be ignored.
Probably the best exposition of FDR's procedures regarding the rule of law vs the rule of men was said by his top deputy, KGB agent Harry Hopkins, to his aides - "I want to assure you that we are not afraid of exploring anything within the law, and we have here a lawyer who will declare anything you want to do legal."
FDR defined democracy just as Joseph Stalin did - as the mere act of voting. (Of course he believed it was good to lie to the people to influence their votes. He also engaged in vote fraud - he won the 1928 NY Governor's race solely with massive vote fraud in Buffalo.) In a famous speech FDR said "The truth of the matter was that the public neither knew or understood what was involved...In other words, public opinion would be easy to manipulate." So much for the public will.



hitler came into power as the candidate of 'hope and change',, his plans slowly moved from being helpful to dreadful..........

simple things like 'nationalizing' corporations, removing the guns from the people,,blame the jews (or the modern version 'the zionists'),,duty of the state(government) to PROVIDE for the people,,division of profits (redistribution of wealth), nationalized health care, ,......,,, DO THESE SOUND FAMILIAR, YES THEY ARE THE TALKING POINTS OF THE DNC AND MOVEON.ORG...............THEY ARE ALSO PART OF HITLERS 25 POINTS of nazism


"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 , and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." Saul alinski




"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

- Norman Thomas, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate

"In order to bring about a North American Union (NAU), the public first has to be conditioned to think of themselves as North Americans.(not United States citizens) ... "Zbigniew Brzezinski

But to conservatives anyone left of Michelle Bachmann is a socialist these days, so it is relative, I guess.
So outraged that the socialists reelected 0bama.

In what context?

If you mean, do we love our country because it represents our culture, traditions and way of life, or do you mean we are slavishly devoted to our national government? Or is this word "nationalism" just a throw away word you use, because it sounds good?

Well he hasn't made it to Stalin's or Hitler's status but he is working on it. Latest; give up safety by giving them power to ignore supreme court rulings on reasonable search in order to protect the people in the name of the people.He had constantly name the enemies of the state which are business many work for and any group that does agree with his rule. He makes Nixion look like a small time corrupt official; by attacking the very basis of rule of law. The same ole let me take care of you and decide just like Stalin and Hitler.
