Propaganda and fear are a potent cocktail for an uneducated population (largest demographic of Bush voting base). Karl Rove knows this very well. We are not fighting Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

I wrote about this in my blog.

You seriously need to look up the definition of the word "Fascism."

P.S. Quit whoring your blog. No one is clicking.

You're telling me. I pass fascism on the way to work every day. It's always in my rear view mirror with that print that says "Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear."

Well... then it must be true.....

To be fair and set the record straight, and correct me if i'm wrong, my countrymen but Fascism is the least likely of all Political systems to be manifested in the Western World today. Hypothetically speaking, if America is moving towards anything, it's exactly what you want...Socialism. Example: A few days ago I got a letter from "Social Security" inquiring about MY future. It told me they were willing to help me pay for Vocational enrollment!! Social Security has become another channel to redistribute Private Property. I did not act with delight, I was confused, shocked and angry. Socialism is on the rise in America; there's no doubt about it with only the Christian Block to stand in their way. The Conservative movement has been blunted by the NeoCons who were originally, themselves, Liberal. If America became a Full-blown Socialist Republic and America began to revolt, start militias and eventually overthrew the Government, America would still never become a Fascist Nation. If a General Usurped Power and became Emperor, America would still not become fascist. Perhaps if you're referring to America's overwhelming contempt for the South American invasion and its afflictions, that is not a fascist principle either. My advice of little worth to you...you get wise. You get to Church and go to work. Honor your ancestors and praise our Fathers. They're smarter than you/us; believe me.

Ah Christians standing in the way in of socialism. It's a joke really. I thinks it's great that you can pervert a book with such great lines as:

'It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven, than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle'.

'He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"'

Good old free market conservative Christians. Who says imagination is dead ey?

BTW as much as it pains me to say, socialism is all but dead in the west at the moment.

Haha Javablack and I laugh like a hyena over what you said above.

So we've translated the stopping of selling products in a church as well as it being difficult for a rich man to go to heaven to meaning Christ hated a free market?

Imagination isn't dead based on the above translation.

Thank God, let's urinate on socialism's ashes as well while we're at it.

JMS gets another English lesson:

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.

Oh no, you've misread me. When i hear someone saying all rich people will go to hell and then attacking people for making profit in a house of god, tipping there money away in the process, i know Christ would have been a big supporter of modern western society. ESPECIALLY those televangelists who sell you salvation.

In fact i'm even more convinced after reading some other parts of the bible:

Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.
There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales
and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

(Marx couldn't have put that last bit better. In fact the entire last passage is so (*)(*)(*)(*) socialist it's shocking.)

Socialisms coming back a bit (least in my experience in Britain) but's still incredibly weak. Hope for the future though ay Rebellion?

It's not all doom. On the plus side, the Nazis did have a keen fashion sense.
