Lefties like to abuse power and eventually devolve into a swirling cesspool of statist, uber-intrusive filth? Well... duh!

Sadly, so too do righties.

If only the party of Goldwater remainined the party of Goldwater.

Statists to the left of me, statists to the right (granted, lefty statists tend to have a more pronounced lithp...).

;-)

trying to make some hay outta the use of the word "socialist".

The German Workers' Party , the forerunner of the Nazi Party, espoused a right-wing ideology, like many similar groups of demobilized soldiers. Adolf Hitler joined this small political party in 1919 and rose to leadership through his emotional and captivating speeches. He encouraged national pride, militarism, and a commitment to the Volk and a racially "pure" Germany. Hitler condemned the Jews, exploiting antisemitic feelings that had prevailed in Europe for centuries. He changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party, called for short, the Nazi Party (or NSDAP). By the end of 1920, the Nazi Party had about 3,000 members. A year later Hitler became its official leader, or Führer.

Dunno who gave you the "minus one" grade. I merely responded to you and made no judgment. I'd have thought that, in order to offer a "plus" or "minus", one would have to sack up and address the poster directly.

Pretty darned lousy that one can dwell in shadows and make judgments. Sissy stuff...

Maybe the Freditor gets a silent vote.

Though I note that an additional response appeared while I was posting my comment. Possibly that poster "graded" you. I have no issues with accusers... they simply need to be visable.

One of the finer Western traditions, you know.

Glad to know you, Pogue. I've heard good things - though I don't think we've crossed paths in my former Fray days.

to lie about other posters. I'm imagining the right wing liars to gang up on innocents like me! Pray tell, what will I do?

label. It's pretty clear from his writing that I've seen that he's not ignorant any more than you are.

He simply has a point of view that differs from your own.

It's clear that Hitler's NAZI party had many traits of the left as well as the right. I'm no peacemaker here - but anyone ascribing strictly con or lib consistency to German NAZISM is buttering a partisan loaf. Too many carbs will kill ya.

:-)

about "right wing liars" and more about liars in general. I like loyal opposition. Is the disloyal variety that gives me pause.

Hope you're well, Bill.

You missed the description of this administration suppressing all opposition.

...about me tattle tailing.

of a Democrat? This is a perfect description of the Bush administration in my opinion.

....so people can say "re: post #4" or whathaveyou.

and it does in his case. How in the hell would you know, if you haven't read his BS for the last 4-5 years as I have-- the word of his fellow BushBots-- like that collection of dimwits would know?

By all means do a comparison, and make that case. The "authority" in this case says "rightwing" ideology, not any half and half as you attempt to argue here.

Empty declarations usually come from an empty head.
