Things That Just Piss Me Off

Conservative republicans really like to talk about patriotism. They really like to talk about the freedom Americans enjoy. But in reality, they are the most unpatriotic group of people there is. They only believe in your rights and freedoms if you agree with them. You are only a patriot, if you agree with them.

If Colin Powell had endorsed McCain, Limbaugh, Hannity, and others would have been saying how important Colin Powell is and how important his endorsement was.

But since it went to Obama, they say Colin Powell only endorsed Barack Obama because of race.

Limbaugh is a racist, pure and simple. Any person of color who votes for Barack Obama is only doing so because he is black. He is saying that black people only consider race when voting. He gives black people no credit for being able to see past race and think for themselves.

Rush Limbaugh is the worst of the worst with hannity not far behind him. Both of them represent a very dangerous element of our society. They represent intolerance. They are as close to the definition of fascists as anyone can be.

[Fascism is] a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti conservative nationalism. As such it is an ideology deeply bound up with modernization and modernity, one which has assumed a considerable variety of external forms to adapt itself to the particular historical and national context in which it appears, and has drawn a wide range of cultural and intellectual currents, both left and right, anti-modern and pro-modern, to articulate itself as a body of ideas, slogans, and doctrine. In the inter-war period it manifested itself primarily in the form of an elite-led “armed party” which attempted, mostly unsuccessfully, to generate a populist mass movement through a liturgical style of politics and a programme of radical policies which promised to overcome a threat posed by international socialism, to end the degeneration affecting the nation under liberalism, and to bring about a radical renewal of its social, political and cultural life as part of what was widely imagined to be the new era being inaugurated in Western civilization. The core mobilizing myth of fascism which conditions its ideology, propaganda, style of politics and actions is the vision of the nation’s imminent rebirth from decadence. – Roger Griffin, The palingenetic core of generic fascist ideology

Neo-fascism is a post-World War II ideology that includes significant elements of fascism. Neo-fascism usually includes nationalism, anti-immigration policies or, where relevant, nativism (see definition), anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy. Neo-fascist movements are more straight-forwardly right-wing than the pre-WWII movements, and have become intertwined with the radical right.

This is a serious thing I’m talking about here. Neo-Cons are attacking barack Obama based on race, trying to associate him with terrorists, trying to make people believe he is a muslim, accusing him of being a socialist, and inventing every lie to try to hold onto power.

Bush and his administration have helped to pass laws that invade our privacy and limit our freedoms all while telling us about the people who threaten our way of life.

Like it or not, that is exactly what Hitler did. It’s no coincidence that George bush’s grandfather also did business with Hitler during WW2. You can say it’s reach if you want, but the radical right has taken over the republican party and they have elements of fascism involved.

George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator’s action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

You may not want to believe that we have a radical right-wing party that borders on fascism, but if you look at it objectively, there is evidence. Those who do lean towards fascism don’t even realize they do. If you are one of these or think you may be, you should read those definitions to see what fascism or neo-fascism is.

Colin Powell has served our country well. These people who attack him for using his right to choose the presidential candidate of his choice, a right he fought for, are fascists and should be outed as such.
