Let’s Review -> Fascism, FASCISM, F-A-S-C-I-S-M!!

How does Bush* hate Democracy, let us count the ways….

Controlled Mass Media- NYT censorship of illegal domestic spying

Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - Terror, terror, insurgents, terror!

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, renditioning

Supremacy of the Military - $5b/mo to Iraq while New Orleans remains in ruins

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - “You’re with us or against us“…wave that flag!

Religion and Government are Intertwined - "God told me to strike at al Qaida...and Saddam...and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East."

Corporate Power is Protected - Halliburton no-bid contracts, airlines bailed out, bankrupty and tort “reform” Big Pharma protected from liability

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - DeLay, Frist, Abramoff, Cunningham

Fraudulent Elections - 2000, 2002, 2004.…Diebold. ES&S, Sequoia…. OHIO , OHIO, OHIO!

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - snooping on libraries

"Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds." - George Eliot

Contact Congress and the media and DEMAND Impeachment!!!

Loved the music. Was that Mike Malloy?

Sadly, you're correct on all counts.

Your best that I've seen. Positively brilliant.

The more Bushler tries to destroy America, the harder I fight. :mad:

those out to friends in etherland if'n you don't mind. Y'know yule tide blessins' n'all that stuff.

:toast: to the Rat

Best deep prayers to all those in Cajun' country.

:hi:

You've outdone yourself this time! Should I keep a seat warm for you at Gitmo?

A warm seat in Gitmo almost sounds more inviting than a cold, moldy home in New Orleans. I doubt if the Stazi will be interested in me or my satirical graphics knowing that I probably won't live much longer in the USA if I can't rebuild my home and no one helps us rebuild and protect New Orleans. So far, it looks like the government is going to abandon us all together... did Bushler even mention Katrina victims in his speech today? I didn't hear the speech, but I'd bet all my bread crumbs that he did NOT mention us! :mad:

in the face of such adversity. Perhaps that's what's helping to maintain what's left of your insanity? If I were independently wealthy, my checkbook would take your troubles away but, alas, I'm at risk for losing my own home for reasons less dramatic but equally devastating.

No, Katrina wasn't mentioned in the speech...that's so "yesterday" when "Freedom and democracy are on the march in Iraq!"

:toast:

talks and quacks like a duck or fascist, it is a duck or fascist. :grr:

K & r

let the people know.

Liberals are for freedom of thought, expression, association, press -- as well as one-man, one-vote.

versus

"It'd be a heck of a lot easier if I was dictator."

I'm trying to rally some outrage and inspire a letter-writing campaign....

C'mon - let your voices be heard! The word of the day is IMPEACHMENT! Now go get (more) pissed!

I'll let you guess for awhile.....

Michael Ledeen though may be the signal source to beware: his books included Universal Fascism, Freedom Betrayed, and The War Against the Terror Masters. Here is a taste of Ledeen:

Ledeen believes man is basically evil and cannot be left to his own desires. Therefore, he must have proper and strong leadership, just as Machiavelli argued. Only then can man achieve good, as Ledeen explains: “In order to achieve the most noble accomplishments, the leader may have to ‘enter into evil.’ This is the chilling insight that has made Machiavelli so feared, admired and challenging…we are rotten,” argues Ledeen. “It’s true that we can achieve greatness if, and only if, we are properly led.” (Ibid.)

Ron Paul analyzes this as meaning, “In other words, man is so depraved that individuals are incapable of moral, ethical and spiritual greatness, and achieving excellence and virtue can only come from a powerful authoritarian leader.” Paul then asks what we all should be asking today, “What depraved ideas are these to now be influencing our leaders in Washington?” (Ibid.)

“Lying is central to the survival of nations and to the success of great enterprises, because if our enemies can count on the reliability of everything you say, your vulnerability is enormously increased....Look at the map of the world: national boundaries have not been drawn by peaceful men leading lives of spiritual contemplation. National boundaries have been established by war, and national character has been shaped by struggle, most often bloody struggle.”
--Michael Ledeen

There you have it Religious Reich, we're all evil, eh?

You're a good person, AntiFascist, but with your "handle" my OP is preaching to the choir.

are corporate interests that we are dealing with. The only things that they respect are PROFITS!
We should start by boycotting Cable news. Lots of advertising is already going from them to the internet. Lets make somone write the song, "The blogger killed the corporate media whore."

:loveya: :loveya:

Here's one right back atcha'...

:loveya:

The:

Poor
Medicare
Social Security (started paying-in at 14 yrs of age!)
Pretense to the tube-watching masses that we're divided, when in fact we probably were not that divided.
Culture wars pushed by their controlled faux-MSN.
Taking rights from our Democrat Party in the House & Senate, like today's latest news!
Becoming a military nation - One Nation Under the GOP!
Higher Education/Pell Grants
Disability

You name it... Canada sure sounds better every day.

How does the media (at least some of them, hopefully) live with themselves!?!

:kick:

and you forgot a very important one....RAMPANT SEXISM...ie...escalation of violent and humilating porn; lack of funding for child care; no longer keeping statistics on women at the Labor Bureau; cut of funds for domestic violence victims; constant push to control women's reproductive freedom.....shit, these neocons want to go back to some vision they have in their heads of the 1950's where all women are mothers and they wear high heels when vacuuming....

Look at TV and the images they are portraying of women...I don't see any Murphy Browns, Cybills, Roseannes, Designing Women, or Golden Girls anymore....all of the sitcoms are starring fat, unattractive white men with very attractive and shapely wives...or how about '2 1/2 men'...now that's another pile of crap. I can't watch TV anymore...I feel sorry for the young women who are watching this crap and being barraged with this brainwashing of narrow stereotypical gender roles...
