SHE'S THE FASCIST ONE!

Virtually all the same talking points:

Jacobin Reason: Sneak Peek at the 2016 GOP Platform

Yep.....we've seen a perfect example of this at every GOP debate.......

Family Values
"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."[6]

No one is so blind as those who will not see. These are the facts:

• In terms of ideology, the New Right (crazy right wingers) have more in common with radical Islam than with our Founding Principles
• Bigotry has devolved into hate, and has become the new norm by the New Right (the CRW)
• Prejudice has devolved into hate, and has become the new norm by members of the New Right (CRW)
• Fear seems to be the instrument driving hate, fear being a product of ignorance and an emotion which clouds rational thinking
• The truth may set us free, but the New Right believes truth to be an agenda for change, which creates in them fear and thus hate for anyone who advocates new ideas, new solutions to long term problems and of course a Supreme Court open to the realities of the 21st Century.

Exactly - fear of change, diversity, and dissent; typical of most on the reactionary, authoritarian right.

Once again the OP was prescient,

"Now, I fully expect many responses will be ad hominem insults, idiot-grams and emoticons, and no actual effort to rebut the argument that the conservative movement has devolved into fascism"

Many thanks to basquebromance, uncensored, crusaderfrank, Chickenwing, LordBrownT, Rabbi and iceweasle for proving my foresight.

Some bullet points to consider:

• Powerful and Continuing Expressions of Nationalism
• Disdain for the Importance of Human Rights
• Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
• The Supremacy of the Military/Avid Militarism
• Rampant Sexism
• A Controlled Mass Media
• Obsession with National Security
• Religion and Ruling Elite Tied Together
• Power of Corporations Protected
• Power of Labor Suppressed or Eliminated
• Disdain and Suppression of Intellectuals and the Arts
• Obsession with Crime and Punishment
• Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

What is Fascism?

Thanks to "Jim Bowie" for his suggestion that this post on a different thread be posted on its own. Now, I fully expect many responses will be ad hominem insults, idiot-grams and emoticons, and no actual effort to rebut the argument that the conservative movement has devolved into fascism.

It is obvious it has, and putting a flashlight on it is necessary to get some who support those whose rhetoric is framed by the bullet points to actually think.

.......and please add, that Mussolini often used the slogan, "I'll make Italy great again...."

Izzatrite, Herr Goebbels?

Or are you just spewing the most outrageous slander and libel that you (rather the hate site doing your thinking for you ) can concoct?

I get it, you are using the "big lie" technique, the more outrageous your lies, the more likely they will be believed.

No doubt Republicans have horns and make Matzo from the blood of good little Communist children.

You are so unique, Herr Goebbels.

• Bigotry has devolved into hate, and has become the new norm by the New Right (the CRW)

Allah knows we have nothing but love from you, Herr Goebbels.

When you spew this kind of vile shit, it's because you love opposing views and want to demonstrate that love through Gulags, forced labor camps, and death chambers.

You're practically Jesus in your capacity to love... Nah, but you ARE close to Pol Pot.

• Prejudice has devolved into hate, and has become the new norm by members of the New Right (CRW)

So, have you thought more about the final solution to the white problem, Herr Goebbels?

• Fear seems to be the instrument driving hate, fear being a product of ignorance and an emotion which clouds rational thinking

Your fear and hatred of Christians, is it driven by anything tangible? I mean, did a bunch of Methodist kids beat you up and take your lunch foodstamps when you were just a wee Bolshevik?

• The truth may set us free, but the New Right believes truth to be an agenda for change, which creates in them fear and thus hate for anyone who advocates new ideas, new solutions to long term problems and of course a Supreme Court open to the realities of the 21st Century.

"Truth" being defined as "that which serves the party."

Thanks Herr Goebbels, your little hatenanny well demonstrates the depths of depravity that drive you and the other leftist in your quest to utterly crush the Constitutional Republic and civil liberty.

 

[Uncensored2008]

That's why you are not to be taken seriously.

People didn't take Hitler seriously at first, they didn't take Pol Pot seriously at first.

The level of pathological hatred that boils in people like Wry Catcher is extremely dangerous.

I mean seriously, if Wry had the opportunity to send enemies of the party to gas chambers, do you think he would have a beer or a sandwich while he watched?

 

[Uncensored2008]

You simply disagree but cannot post anything thoughtful and thus are incapable of honest discourse. Emotion clouds rational thinking.

THOUGHTFUL, Herr Goebbels?

You are a fucking demagogue. You spew the most mindless hatred. There is no reason or logic to the vile shit you post, just animal hatred and your festering desire to visit violence on the enemies of your filthy party.

.......and please add, that Mussolini often used the slogan, "I'll make Italy great again...."

No he didn't, but you're a democrat, ergo a shameless fucking liar.

 

[miketx]

OK, I've changed my name to Mussolini.

Fascism is a branch of socialism, so tthe point to ponder should have been

What does the current iteration of the demopublicans have in common with fascism?


While it is true that German Fascism was racist neither Japan nor Italy were.

Really??? I would have thought that your ilk would be PROUD to be linked to good ol' Benito... Go figure.

Stupidity, based on poor education.......(and too much FOX news)....Mussolini was an ENEMY of socialists and disenchanted with the socialist movement that he once belonged to.....He then switched his loyalty to a fascist ideology. (you can thank me for the short political lesson.)

You thought slander and libel were valid substitutions for thought, just as your butt buddy Herr Goebbels does.

Without demagoguery, you Bolsheviks have nothing to say.

HUH?

WTF

Mussolini was a member of Italy's socialist party and separated from them because he did not want italy to support WWI.

He also found out , as did Hitler, that outright ownership of the means of production does not work. Fascism allows private ownership under government control.

True.....So, how the heck did you "summarize" that socialism and fascism share the same ideology?

I said that it was a BRANCH of socialism -

under fascism power is centralized - it is operated by government supremacists - the people ONLY have those rights allowed by the bureaucrats.- the economy and the means of production are under government control.
