On a serious side, I am surviving now but many of my family members have not. Sigh. So many people out of homes and jobs. 8 years and Bush think he didn’t have a hand in this turmoil?

# 102 bobbo said, “The nazi’s? Really?”

Don’t know. Read.

# We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens.

# Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes.

# We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).

# We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.

# We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.

Well, do the points I posted look like Nazi policy items?

You seem to have problems with simple questions.

Paddy-O says:

Good news. The House passed their version of the stimulus bill with no Repub votes.

#112, Loser,

If you read Mein Kampf, you will see just how similar the Nazi platform is to what is occurring today in this country.

I read Mein Kampf 30 some years ago for a history project. I also read Mao, Voltaire, Trudeau, Churchill, Smith, Teddy Roosevelt, and a few others and tried to read Marx – too much bull.

If you pick and chose enough you will find enough text to suit any political trend in Mien Kampf. If you read the whole book and look at the whole sense you will understand that the Nazis, and Hitler, were quite bigoted, chauvinistic, intolerant, and bullies, even while in jail ghost writing the book.

Have you ever read it? The whole book, not the passages someone else has quoted out of context? Try it. As you read it keep in mind that it was written by disillusioned WWI veterans, on the losing side, as their country was in the depths of a depression, in a jail. Although it was credited to Hitler, it is believed he actually wrote very little of the book.

>Of course it sounds silly. Who would even think of comparing the Nazi’s platform for State control over the redistribution of wealth with the American’s?

George Bernard Shaw compared it at the time.

Nowadays the Capitalist cry is: “Nationalize what you like; mu-
nicipalize all you can; turn the courts of justice into courts martial
and your parliaments and corporations into boards of directors with
your most popular mob orators in the chair, provided the rent, the
interest, and the profits come to us as before, and the proletariat still
gets nothing but its keep.”
This is the great corruption of Socialism which threatens us at
present. It calls itself Fascism in Italy, National Socialism (Nazi for
short) in Germany, New Deal in the United States, and is clever
enough to remain nameless in England; but everywhere it means the
same thing: Socialist production and Unsocialist distribution. So far,
out of the frying pan into the fire.

The people who hate Bush, hate him because he not only won, but won in exceedingly aggravating situations from their perspective.

1. Bush v. Gore. Winner: Bush.
2. Tax cuts. Winner: Bush.
3. Invade Iraq. Winner: Bush.
4. 2002 Senate Elections. Winner: Bush.
5. 2004 Presidential Election. Winner: Bush.

The opposing side — whatever side that may be — hates an opponent who rolls over them even when they put up stiff resistance.

The final result of this was a much better Democratic party who finally decided to discard losing ways, very bad leadership (Dean was a big step up), and finally nominate someone with a winning philosophy for president.

The “old” Democratic party liked to hang themselves and look bad enough in doing so it was a little difficult to look past the antics to the issues they were right on.

#118–LL==you say: “Personally, I find the idea of wealth redistribution so anti-American, it just turns my stomach.” //// hahahahah. You remind me of John Cleese in Monty Python when he is sitting at the table with that hankerchief over his head, fists clenched, arms and legs all twisted: “I hate them, I just hate them!!”

Cartoon characters, even when spitting bile, are fun to laugh at.

hahahahahahahahahah. You are a joke. Thanks for the laugh.
