I’m looking forward to another 8 years of a Republican Presidency.

I think Obama is just full of himself. He speeches are designed to be purposefully vague and presidential in a Lincolnesque style with a Martin Luther King cadence. The difference is that he’s a liberal who shows his true stripes when specifics are being discussed. This fiction about the Dems being responisble for a drop in violence is partially crap and sounds like a fascist rewrite of history. Believe it or else.

Lestat:

I didn’t realize you were such an optimist Nieman. Nothing better could happen for America.

I think this time the Democrats could destroy America, causing a near absolute economic implosion, not just a simple depression. I think if Obama or Hillary or Edwards get in the White House and Democrats gain greater control of the Congress, they will strike while the iron is hot in establishing a socialist state here to the peril of us all. I think if it happens, you will curse the day you ever voted for this socialist crud, but it will be too late.

But it is a special kind of despicable

Rob, I don’t think it was despicable. I think he’s dangerously naive but he does say what he thinks.

My wife mentioned preferring Hillary to any other democrat and she’s one of the stark raving republicans. Hillary Clinton looks sane and sober when placed beside Obama and Edwards. (It’s like hanging out with ugly friends to get a date.)

I’ll admit that out of all the Democrat candidates, Barack Obama is the one I like the most on a personal level. He seems like a principled and affable guy.

I just see a very dangerous, naive, manipulative Leftist politician that is riding a cult of personality, black Messiah, mindless wave of popularity into the Democrat Nomination and the White House. He is the worst possible choice! I would rather see Hillary in the White House!

If you will recall from a long time back, I predicted that if the Surge worked, the Democrats would take credit for it; and I must tell you that a very, very large number of Americans will believe him, enough to make the difference in helping the Democrats get into the White House and increase their control of Congress by large numbers and keep the Republicans out of power for decades.

I would point out that much of that violence has been reduced because there was an agreement with tribes in Anbar province–Sunni tribes–who started to see, after the Democrats were elected in 2006, you know what, the Americans may be leaving soon, and we are going to be left very vulnerable to the Shi’as.

I think that is a valid claim. It is true that most Democrats opposed the surge itself, but there is more to it than just the surge. The one and only thing that forced a change in policy, not to mention a different and much better Secretary of Defense, was the 2006 election. If the Republicans had maintained the majority, there would have been no reason to have a surge or do anything different or to get rid of Rumsulini. Bush could have just plugged along as usual and the Republicans in congress could have just kept rubber stamping his failed policies.

Lestat: “What I wouldn’t give…” Believe me when I say that you will give much to have the likes of Ginzberg or Brennan replicated and in charge of the Supreme Court. Liberals love to spout their pie-in-the-sky/we-shall-overcome philosophies with little or no regard for the consequences.

enough to make the difference in helping the Democrats get into the White House and increase their control of Congress by large numbers and keep the Republicans out of power for decades.

Facsim: Conservative or Liberal Philosophy?

Fascist movements usually try to retain some supposedly healthy parts of the nation’s existing political and social life, but they place more emphasis on creating a new society. In this way fascism is directly opposed to conservatism–the idea that it is best to avoid dramatic social and political change. Instead, fascist movements set out to create a new type of total culture in which values, politics, art, social norms, and economic activity are all part of a single organic national community. With this idealized people’s community (Socialist Utopia) in mind, the government creates new institutions and policies (partly as propaganda) to build popular support. But the changes are also an attempt to transform society in order to overcome perceived sources of national weakness and social injustice.

Fascism: any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism.

No matter how you look at fascism, is at its heart socialist not capitalist and certainly not democratic. It is the Democrats that want more and more government control of private enterprise, like national health care and seek to control every facet of American life. Conservatives encourage private enterprise, individual responsibilty, a quest for wealth and entrepreneurship.

This is a rather lengthy way to say Socialist, I believe you do not understand what the word fascism really means, you have used the word incorrectly because you never bothered to study and understand it as history. For instance, Nazism was The National Socialist Party, they were at their heart socialists, imposing their social ideals on the world by force.
