With all due respect Mr. Nslow, this statement is not true.
The right wing in this country is the closest thing to Nazi's the US has ever seen...... they try to pin that label on liberals in a vain attempt to make themselves look like the "good guys". Then to further make themselves look like the "good guys" they wrap themselves in the flag and flash around their false patriotism and religion for everyone to see. They (the right wing) has to use textbook fascist and authoritarian tactics to stay relevant.
So the National Socialist Party were not Socialists...
Quote:I think we are all familiar with this quote “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” I think that pretty much sums it up right there.
I think some Socialist said that
Hitler took Germany via labor unions and then, as all Socialist regimes go, turned on his supporters and made himself a King. Stalin, Mao, Casto, Amin, Pol Pot, Chavez, they are all the same. Will Obama be the next? That is the legitimate fear right now.
Another familiar quote "You are entitled to your own opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts."
I lived in the USA during the very happy Nixon years, and may I say that, in those days, anyone credited with such a comparison between those dictators and his own POTUS would have been... screened...
Anyway, rest assured, as long as you have Congress on two Houses, your Rights remain firm.
When the two Houses of Congress are disbanded in order to form "The Party House of Representatives"
THEN and only then,
start worrying.
On the other hand, the PRC only has the one, and once Mao went to the Celestial Rice Paddies the Country has been picking up speed and is currently in the passing lane and leaning on the horn...
