I am gonna stick with you being incorrect about history because you are incorrect.

Which means that either (a) Roosevelt wasn't really a progressive; or (b) the "progressive = fascist" idea you people are pushing is an utter revisionist lie.

Which is it?
He didn't fight for ideology he fought to secure power.

Now you seem to be suggesting that our fight against fascism in Europe was a mistake.

Not at all I think it was the right thing to do. Both Hitler and Stalin had to be stopped. We started with Hitler.

You're putting words in his mouth. Very poor debating tactic. But anyway, taxes certainly can be tantamount to theft. Are you familiar with Bell, California.

Enlightened? The world has suffered enough under socialist governments in the history of modern man. The American idea was truly "enlightenment." Freedom, is still mans best hope. This woman, and people like her, want to make us slaves to an all powerful government.

No, thanks.

Exactly, Frank. You said it better than I did. This woman is dangerous, and those who support her.

I posted the link to the video on my Facebook page. Time to alert conservatives everywhere. Almost all of my FB friends are conservative "Tea Party types" (they identify with the Tea Party even if they are not directly involved in it in some way — but some are).

Freedom loving Americans everywhere need to learn who these people are, hear thes radical leftist statementst they are making, and take action against them.

This woman, and people like her, are a threat to our Liberty. They are the enemy of freedom. They are enemies of America.
