I'm sure Little Hawk would have dug it. Hey, have you seen or heard of him, lately? As far as the others, more nasty name calling and inferences, but not a single countering FACT. Says a lot about the intellect of emotionally charged partisan parrots. Now if only you could harness the angst, and make it come out through your music. Works for me! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: Songwronger Date: 09 Feb 14 - 06:25 PM Continuing with the column mentioned above: ...Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s. Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left. It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot -- and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs. What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people -- like themselves -- need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat. The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People..." That is why the left has for more than a century been trying to get the Constitution's limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges' new interpretations, based on notions of "a living Constitution" that will take decisions out of the hands of "We the People," and transfer those decisions to our betters. The self-flattery of the vision of the left also gives its true believers a huge ego stake in that vision, which means that mere facts are unlikely to make them reconsider, regardless of what evidence piles up against the vision of the left, and regardless of its disastrous consequences. Only our own awareness of the huge stakes involved can save us from the rampaging presumptions of our betters, whether they are called socialists or fascists. So long as we buy their heady rhetoric, we are selling our birthright of freedom. http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2012/06/12/socialist_or_fascist/page/full |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 09 Feb 14 - 02:11 AM Love Rowan!! Great pic! Glad to see your contributing to the topic's discussion. Don't get your nose bent, because your favored President isn't what he presented himself to the propagandized media outlets. It happens quite regularly. Meanwhile, the corporate/government/banksters keep hittin' us with a right and a left...and while you root for your 'side' to win, it never does, just partly....then they hand off to the 'other side'..while THEIR agenda marches forward. Still think Obama won't approve the Keystone pipeline?...Maybe he'll 'work out a deal'(rolls eyes), to keep Obamacare, in 'trade' for the pipeline....that way the corporate insurers will make a bunch of money, the government will have and exhaustive profile of everybody, and tighter controls on them, and the pipeline will be sold to the public as a 'practical solution' to afford Obamacare!...Meanwhile, no real socialized healthcare, oil companies are happy, we would export 60% of the oil, in accordance with NAFTA, and then you can vote for more 'Hope and Change', and root for your side.....and even get yourself to believe that the politicians are really representing you....and me...and everybody who 'voted' for them. Hey, do you think before the Keystone pipeline gets approved, the President will know exactly when to move his investments to oil?? Talk about 'income inequality'!!!....That's for public consumption, not a moral code that any of them are living by! Just remember my rap about being in the ring with the boxer. 'Conservative' and 'Liberal' agendas...? As far as they are concerned, they don't exist....(which should answer 'Guest's' question to me, about 'the 'so-called liberal agenda')...there is none...but it make a great excuse. Under Bush, they worked the 'patriotism' charade to the 'Conservatives'...Obama worked the 'social justice' rap to the liberals....and it worked...after all, he was a black 'community organizer', so he MUST(?) know and care about that, right??....(rolls eyes)... Anyway, have a pleasant delusion...should be a lot of fun, complete with insane anxieties, and more hoping for change, and rooting for your 'side'(?) As for me...I'm just gonna' keep working on the music...if I want 'Hope and Change', I'll buy a three dollar lottery ticket with a five dollar bill! Besides, working on the music helps to keep you objective...............and helps with keeping you free. GfS P.S. And remember, "In a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was," Obama said. |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 08 Feb 14 - 06:20 PM Calm down, Don...I was not claiming authorship for the whole post....just some...it's a parable that I posted before, matter of fact, and only posting a perspective closer to mine.. As far as, (Don): "Anyone who knows anything at all about Fascism knows that President Obama is not a Fascist" ...what HE said was, ""In a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was." Sorry he popped your bubble of delusion...don't you think HE knows what HE was talking about? Maybe that puts my whole position in perspective...but to gain perspective, as in stereoscopic vision, you can't have the myopic use of 'one eye'....and a polarized notion of an individual ideology does just that! As I've been saying for years on here now, as given to me by James Baldwin, "Left wing and right wing are on the same bird!" ....(and I even gave credit to the source, so you don't have to choke on your false teeth!) GfS P.S. How come it makes dense to everyone except the 'fencing crew'! |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: Don Firth Date: 08 Feb 14 - 03:00 PM Anyone who knows anything at all about Fascism knows that President Obama is not a Fascist.

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 08 Feb 14 - 12:00 PM I find the title of this thread to be impolite. From the history of the opening poster, I think this is no accident. The title is meant to provoke a negative response and is therefor argumentative. I really have no problem with the occasion attempt to provoke. But having a constant argumentative challenge in a thread title where everyone is forced to read it every day. Looking at the thesis of the opening post, perhaps a more polite thread title would be "My case for President (or Mr.) Obama being a Fascist" Or perhaps this thread could be eventually combined with all of the other thread where the overall theme is "I hate President Obama" By Songwronger. I am tired of this poster using loopholes in Joe Offer's unwritten rules of thread titles to troll this forum. |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 08 Feb 14 - 10:42 AM You are all tugging at the same rope, and just don't see it, especially those so consummately entrenched in partisan ideologies!! ....maybe this will help: A chemistry professor at a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?' The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat; you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity. The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time. I found this an extremely fascinating and interesting parable and one I can totally endorse. For we must guard carefully not to fall into the trap of being so dependent on the government that we lose our sense of responsibility for our live and even worse, the very spark of life. Yet, this also brings me to the recognition that we are caught in a rather interesting dilemma are we not. While I agree with the "trap" of the wild pig and the problems that presents, we are also experiencing what happens when you let the pigs (pun intended) run wild (the effect of too much de-regulation for example) and the effects it has on our society overall. – Anyone enjoying the financial crisis we are in? So the real question, (and I believe the true answer) lies in how do we find the right balance. The trouble we have in our political system is we keep running back and forth between taming the wild pigs and letting them run wild. Wildness is good for creativity, entrepreneurialism, and the like. You want the free flow of energy to stimulate new innovation. And yet when you have unbounded flow of energy you have chaos, which then has to correct itself. As we learn to work with the powerful flow of societal energies, I believe we can learn to modulate the unbounded flow of energy while not reaching the point of constraining it to where we are limiting its flow. When are we ever going to get a leader that understands the need for balance and stop with the rhetoric of polar opposite making one side wrong and the other right (and I don't care which side we are talking about). Is it not time for us to have true leadership in this country, and in our companies. Leadership that can connect deeply with the soul of the entity (be it our country or our companies) and guide the energy that flows from there in a balanced way so that we are contributing effectively to our society and our planet? ...................................................................... On another currently running thread, I posted this, which came right from the horse's mouth, in which one resident 'activist' just couldn't believe it! "In a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was," Obama said. To some, that is totally understandable, to others a puzzle. HINT: ALL of the 'heated ideologies' are fences! Some are brain-locked in!!! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Is Obama a Fascist? From: Songwronger Date: 07 Feb 14 - 09:50 PM Interesting article: Socialist or Fascist It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a "socialist." He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard definition of socialism. What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector. Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama's point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time. Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous -- something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague. Thus the Obama administration can arbitrarily force insurance companies to cover the children of their customers until the children are 26 years old. Obviously, this creates favorable publicity for President Obama. But if this and other government edicts cause insurance premiums to rise, then that is something that can be blamed on the "greed" of the insurance companies. The same principle, or lack of principle, applies to many other privately owned businesses. It is a very successful political ploy that can be adapted to all sorts of situations. One of the reasons why both pro-Obama and anti-Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing notion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left. Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.... http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2012/06/12/socialist_or_fascist/page/full |

Officials: Obama to name NC Rep. Melvin Watt to housing finance post, ex-lobbyist as FCC chief" By Associated Press, Published: April 30 | Updated: Wednesday, May 1, 5:56 AM WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama intends to nominate Rep. Melvin Watt to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the government regulator that oversees lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and he has chosen a former cable and wireless industry lobbyist to head the Federal Communications Commission, according to White House officials. If confirmed by the Senate for the FHFA post, Watt, D-N.C., a 20-year veteran of the House, would replace Edward DeMarco, an appointee of President George W. Bush who has been a target of housing advocates, liberal groups and Democratic lawmakers.
