Are the ignorant progressives creating another National Socialist Germany right here in America?

[Thundarr the Barbarian]

Excessive gun control
Extreme welfare state
Nationalization of Industry and Medicine
specious arguments against freedom
Believe in only what the Nationalist (Goebbels-like) media spoon feeds them
Hatred of Jews and Catholics
extreme anticlerical mandates
vilification of Industrialists/capitalists/wealthy
etc
@nokilleye version 2.0 ~ I appreciate you taking the time to respond in detail to these parallels but fear that wherever progressivism and fascism agree strongly, you seem in denial or have some weak excuse for why the are not similar. I think perhaps you would benefit from reading the work of Professor Emeritus Stanley Payne's work on fascism. He is widely renown as the foremost expert on historic (not fictional) fascism.

I want to hear more about those specious arguments against freedom.

If you think that's what is happening, you need help.

Obama's goal is to destroy the American economy so he can set up a socialist dictatorship.
Look at his change in attitude since he was 're-elected'.

[Will]

Yes, and they've been working on that project for a long, long time.

8/31/1910 Osawatomie, Kansas, T. Roosevelt admits the progressive agenda -- national health care, social security and the championing of unions (the “brown shirts” of all such movements) -- discards the Constitution: “This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.”

Dem. pres. Wilson (1913-21) on why Americans should work hard: “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” He may have been the first progressive to realize the potential of multiculturalism in deconstructing America, saying: “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” Obama put it this way: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism." (12/22/10 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/201...ptional/).

FDR’s “Second Bill of Rights” included the “right”: to “earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation”; of every family to a “decent home”; “to be free from economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.” (Speech to Congress on 1/11/44)

LBJ’s Great Society spent trillions on those “rights.”

In fact, America’s semi-capitalist system provided those “rights” in such abundance that tens of millions of Europeans fled their welfare state nations to come here. But none of that matters to democrats. They’ve always fought for a welfare state America:

-2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.

-6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.

-9/6-9/2012 http://www.gallup.com/poll/157481/majori: Those who want more government control over us: Republicans 15%; Independents, 29%; Democrats 67%.

-Now they have national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.

We are not longer a Republic, just as Ben Franklin predicted: "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

We’re now a democracy.

Thomas Jefferson: "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”

Ben Franklin: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.”

John Adams on democracy: “That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the world.”

Karl Marx: Democracy is the road to socialism.

8/20/1933 New York Times, Berlin: “Eighty-nine and nine-tenths per cent of the German voters endorsed in yesterday's plebiscite Chancellor Hitler's assumption of greater power than has been possessed by any other ruler in modern times.”

[Ralph]

No, just in your paranoid mind.

[tehabwa]

Of course not.

There is no excessive gun control, nor is anyone proposing anything excessive.

There is no extreme welfare state; tens of millions of children routinely go without food -- there's nothing "extreme" in a welfare system that allows that.

There is NOT nationalization of industry or medicine.

WHAT arguments against freedom? Do you mean the arguments from the RIGHT who say adults shouldn't be able to make their own personal decisions about whether to marry and have kids? That's not progressives, that's wing-nuts of the right.

LOL -- It's mostly the wing-nuts who mindlessly believe their propaganda machine. Progressives use a variety of non-mainstream media.

WHAT hatred of Jews and Catholics? None from PROGRESSIVES. That all comes from the extreme right; not the left.

???? WHAT anticlerical mandates? About wHAT are you mindlessly babbling?

????? -- Every SANE person realizes that it's wrong when 400 families get ALL the profit of everyone else's labor.

Don't wing-nut morons EVER get tired of being WRONG about EVERYTHING?

It isn't progressives who call for mass murder.

[Maximus]

Which Bull Sh1t Mountain news nut job website did you copy all this crap off???

The fact that we look down on the poor in this country, and the fact that we have a darwinist health care system are some of the reasons we are such a violent society!!!

I heard that stupid bastard Romney ignoring gun control when he was trying to get elected and saying that we need to get to people with mental health issues before they commit such heinous crimes!!! which is pretty funny when millions of people in this country go for years without seeing a doctor for even minor ailments because they are frightened of the cost!!!

Goebbels like media!!???**!! what f*cking planet are you on??? what do you think Fox news is??? what do you think Rush d1ck head Limbaugh is??? or that other completely off his trolley Alex Jones is???

You are a colossal moron of unparalleled proportions!!!
