Glenn Beck Exposes the Progressive Movements Fascist Agenda

[getgot1]

NA NA NA NA.....NA NA NA NA.....HEYYY HEYYY HEYYY.....GOooOD BBBYYYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!

[jcfan42]

Liberalism is capitalist, these progressives are not. In some ways they are the heirs of the Federalist ideology initiated by Alexander Hamilton.

[jrmsher33]

Matt Spalding is the golden boy of the heritage foundation. He has a PhD in government, So even when he spews hearsay can bring up the fact that he has a PhD, which is great for the heritage foundation which basically relies on conspiracy theories and vague words like "leftist" to blanket anyone who believes differently than they do in a shroud of fascism and communism.

[jrmsher33]

Comparing progressivism from the 1920's to progressivism today is ignorant. These people aren't experts.

[Bitterseed13]

We of the Tea Party America will remove turn coat Republicans and wipe out Marxist progressive mentality from a free people. The Constitution of WE THE PEOPLE is Freedom Marxist progressives is slavery under vermin monarchs.

[jrmsher33]

@Bitterseed13

So we the people isn't the "people" It's people who think like you who believe they have a monopoly on patriotism and any attack on you is an attack on America. It's like playing the race card. You, the true real Americans will free the less American people by censorship and re-education ignorantly making America an authoritarian hell hole. Sounds like you hate the freedom in America.

[cosmicforums]

-Glen beck on people he likes: "blah blah blah true patriot blah blah blah American blah blah blah founding fathers blah blah blah *tears* god bless you."

-Glen Beck on people he hates: "blah blah blah fascist muslim communist blah blah blah Nazi hitler youth Stalinist blah blah blah liberal progressive nazi blah blah blah *tears* our country is almost destroyed!"

if you want to know what "blah" means, then join Glen Beck university and take his history and politics courses.

[nickeldoor5]

@cosmicforums I did not hear him say he hated anyone. Disagreeing is different than hate.You know what a liberal does. When they don't like something they try ridicule. Did you have to read rules for radicals? Prove him wrong if you don't like what he is saying. Most people don't believe just because they are told to.Wake up and think for yourself . Obama is hurting america not helping. Obama is paying back everyone that got him elected with our tax dollars.

[cosmicforums]

@nickeldoor5 - You think that because I call Glen Beck on his OBVIOUS lies, that I 100% support Obama. I am a Progressive. Yeah, learn what a REAL progressive is instead of what Beck says they are. We Progressives dumped Obama 2 months ago. He does nothing but kiss the corporate butt, and the conservatives are salivating at the mouth to do what he is doing now..shoveling money to the corporations..he is guaranteed a second term because of it. Call me a liar! Obama is a center of right winger.

[nickeldoor5]

@cosmicforums I know what a progressive is and they are in both parties. Obama has always being corporate money put him in. He help out the big banks and wall street before Jobs. He would throw anyone under the bus. Obama cares about nothing or nobody.

The banks got the money then they used it on the stock market. Make big money from it. The Feds had imaginary money and make big money from make money more than they could if they lent it out regular companies they would make nothing. .

[kylekressman]

i want bush back

[b2tama]

Attention everyone: progressivism isn't "un-american." Neither is conservatism. How about a political system in which both ends are respected. In reality, combined progressives and conservative probably make up less than 40% of Americans. The rest are in the center. The only "cancer" in america right now is entertainment punditry.

[Wiiowner]

i hate how these damn liberal try to help people. whats the matter with them?!? regulate banks so they dont prey on the poor??! NOT IN MY AMERICA! how dare they support science and research for cures for diseases God gave them!!! the hubris of it all.

[Dolphan1992]

Thats funny, progressives are what is wrong with america. I mean they are responsible for advancements in enviornmental protection, workers rights, womens sufferage, direct election of senators, the breaking of trusts, and urban poverty, so that must be a horrible thing.

[maddman420]

i've never seen a 1st world nation wanting their government to fail like the amerrica today. that is a very sad way to think about your country.

your fucked if you think your on your way to fascism. get a life.

[SmashTheRight38]

Heritage On Romneys Medicaid Expansion: Reduced the total cost to taxpayers by taking people out of the uncompensated care pool. [Heritage, 1/28/06] Heritage On President Obamas Medicaid Expansion: Expands a broken entitlement program, providing a low-quality, poorly functioning program. [Heritage, 3/30/10]

[SmashTheRight38]

Heritage On Romneys Insurance Exchange: An innovative mechanism to promote real consumer choice. [Heritage, 4/20/06] Heritage On President Obamas Insurance Exchange: Creates a de facto public option by grow[ing] government control over healthcare. [Heritage, 3/30/10]

[SmashTheRight38]

Heritage On Romneys Individual Mandate: Not an unreasonable position, and one that is clearly consistent with conservative values. [Heritage, 1/28/06] Heritage On President Obamas Individual Mandate: Both unprecedented and unconstitutional. [Heritage, 12/9/09]

[SmashTheRight38]

To give you idea of the dishonestly of Beck's rhetoric and his guests, one of his guests is from the right-wing propaganda organization the Heritage foundation. Well here are some contrasting quotes from the heritage foundation comparing Romney's heatlh insurance program compared to Obama.

[SmashTheRight38]

Glenn Beck is laughing all the way to the bank. Taking advantage of the ignorance of his stupid sheep that follow everything he says blindly. Anyone who thinks Obama is a marxist is a dumb ignorant right-wing peasant. Lets see his health care program incorporates the conservative mandates that the conservative Heritage foundation praised as being a good conservative idea when Romney advocated for but then flip-fliopped when Obama endorsed it.

[CJbass420]

Progessivism-the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society. how is that facsism? i agree some politicians want facsism but thats not progressivism please know what your talking about mr beck. progressives agree with gay marriage. fascist dont cuz they dont consider it normal.

[listenpita]

FOX NEWS! AHH RUNN!

[asiabrew81]

Where's last night's Daily Show. John Stewart went to town on this John Forbes Nash Sr wannabe.

[Iammyself920]

i didnt know i wanted to control everybody's minds. thanks for the insight glenn

[blackdove123]

Yeah damn those progressives that broke up monopolies and instituted child labor laws as well as the meat inspection act, the pure food and drug act, and woman's suffrage what were they thinking?

[jonnyg28]

@blackdove123 They broke up monopolies to start their own--The Federal Government! They want TOTAL control of the Federal Government! They want to erode the Constituion, because they view it as a road block for their agenda. 

[mossimo654]

CZARS FASCISTS OMGOMGOMGOMG

talking points!

How this even passes for rational discourse at this point is beyond me.

All anyone has to say these days is "Czars" and "dictator" in the same sentence and that's an argument?

What a society we live in

[tristanmayfield]

Bush also had Czars so....

[tristanmayfield]

What a fuckin whack job. Where are the FACTS? Enough with the fear, scare tactics and conspiracy theory. Jesus.

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

progressives are liberals with a hip new name. they will never use violence to restrict your freedoms or rights but will indoctrinate you from an early age and if that doesnt work they will hammer you with laws

[guyperson05]

you conservatives do know western Europe are social democrats and we are the most conservative country in our hemisphere and that FASCISM IS ON THE RIGHT WING IT IS THE FURTHEST CONSERVATIVE IDEA ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM

[1951sk]

Social progressing is good. Socialistic progressivism is bad. Study and learn. Glenn is correct.

Progress is not progressivism.

[AceofDimonds0]

progressivism-the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society

ya progressivism is evil

[SopLusus]

People like to hide their wretched agendas under positive titles.

[Visfen]

@AceofDimonds0 Better, in what sense? In that it is different - that's it. It's moronic.

[AceofDimonds0]

glenn beck is agianst progression

when this country (u.s.) was founded blacks were still slaves and women couldnt vote, but we progressed to where slavery is illegal and women can vote,

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

hey stupid he dis likes progressives not progress, to different things, we progress every day

[AceofDimonds0]

progressives-favoring or promoting progress.

progress-develop in a possitive way, growth or development.

so glenn beck haves progessives but likes progress?

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

you cant be against progress its impossible. progressives are for a liberal agenda. your always growing and developing. progressivism doesnt exist

[AceofDimonds0]

so how is growing and developing a bad thing?

and isnt growing and developing the same as progression?

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

what dont you get about progressivism and progress is two different things. you cant be against progress stop hiding from the facts

[AceofDimonds0]

progression is a good thing.

progressivism is too.

progressivism-the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society

i support both progress and progressivism

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

wrong progressivism is for government progress and better conditions just like every other political party, they are a shady movement thats hiding behind their name

[AceofDimonds0]

@XxxxExclusivexxxX i dont get it? so progress in government is bad? if that were true we would still have the same consititution we did when the country was founded. whose to say what is or isnt progress or a bad idea?

[CJbass420]

nope it literally is progressivism lol becks so dumb.

[PavedStones]

@XxxxExclusivexxxX

"you cant be against progress its impossible."

Yes you can- you can support slavery, genocide, apartheid, corporatocracy, war, child labor and monopolies and oppose civil rights, women's rights, and do all the other stuff progressives have been struggling against for ages to make your country the decent place it is today

[PavedStones]

and you can also be a Glenn Beck drone who thinks this is fascism, while being probably too stupid to figure out the difference between fascism and social liberalism anyway.

[brownsfan6]

ok so.................glenn beck mis the biggest conspirsy theorist ever

[MRmattconnell]

lol, progressives are the good guys, glenn beck is a dumbass

i just saved you an Epiphany, your welcome

[atlinreno]

i came to the US when i was 10..GOD Bless Glenn Beck! America wake up he showed the truth!

[wkmac2]

No matter what kind of gov't, no matter what kind of economy or even social structure one has or advocates, the root question comes down to this.

Can a individual or collection of individuals under any pretense use force, aggression or fraud (manipulation) to make another individual abandon his own self interests (his no force, no fraud voluntary personal actions) and act to serve the self interests of others no matter what they be?

One way is liberty the other is slavery. It's simple!

[TheNavigateur]

wkmac, you've omitted one thing when you talk about that individual's "no force" actions, that is the use of undue influence using coercive circumstances to manipulate another's actions. Case in point: a person is dying, you can help, but instead you say "only if you give me 50 dollars". That satisfies your definition of liberty even though there's manuplation via coercive circumstances. The person is truly not at liberty here and it's because of that choice you made. This applies everywhere.

[anduhhroo]

Fascism is the extreme right and conservative

How can a liberal like Obama be linked with extreme right wing forum of government?

Also progressives stood up for workers rights, social security, anti-poverty, better health standards, living standers and world peace.

Our founding fathers were no doubt liberal progressives. They felt that they needed to have a better forum of government that represented people better that would improve the lifes of Americans.

[reidmustang88]

what did you get that from your high school history book. your right the progressives stood up for worker's rights yada yada yada. aka not the government's job. Be responsible for yourself, the money the government takes out of my paycheck for social security, i can invest myself or use it for something i need, I don't need some "intellectual" politician thinking he knows what to do with my money better than I do, you may say" but you won't save that money for retirement, maybe but its my choice

[demon515]

Why shouldn't the government be involved in workers rights?

[reidmustang88]

because it's not their job according to the constitution. the founders weren't involved in workers rights. What are worker's rights anyway...the right to equal pay, the right to good working conditions...etc. If you don't like your job quit, if you think you're being treated unfairly quit. Its true some employees are treated below what they should be,,, but you have a choice; and business' too need to have a sense of moral responsibility but not one that the government institutes

[demon515]

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

That is form the Preamble to the constitution. Note the part about general Welfare. Workers being safe while working is part of their welfare, so you are wrong.

[reidmustang88]

You don't think I know what that's from; you dont have a goddamn clue about what the part about general welfare means; it doesn't mean welfare in the way we use it today; it means laws protecting our rights by the government WITHIN the limits of the constitution; not laws protecting workers rights; regulation fo the workplace etc..because those are limited by the constitution and not a right of the government; It allows the government to act within its enumerated powers granted to them

[demon515]

The constitution is open to interpretation so one care interpret that statement the way it is today.

[reidmustang88]

also it creates inefficiency, workers may be treated better, but if you institute minimum wage policies etc, everyone will be made worse off in the end because one, workers may not actually be worth that much and are horrible at what they do; firms can't hire as many people or produce as much because it cost more to run the place. In the end just let me make my own decisions...i mean you seriously can't disagree with me on that, do you really want someone making decisions for you

[demon515]

The US has had a minimum wage for years and that's not happened. There are times when one should not be able to make some decisions, like drunk driving. That is a decision you can't make without getting in trouble because it puts others lives at risk. An unsafe work environment does the same thing to the people in it. Arguing against it is useless however because the laws passed are set in stone and are not going to be repealed so get over it.

[reidmustang88]

are you that brainwashed that the government can help you; I don't want them to help me-go read any of the founders, you know what they say; Government is the biggest enemy of the people, that's why we have a constitution."The two enemies of the people are criminals and government,so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first" -Thomas Jefferson

[demon515]

I never said anything about the government helping you, just the reason why workers rights are justified. But if you don't want help that's fine, just don't make it so others can't get it.

[reidmustang88]

the founders were also not progressives...progressives believe that humanity can be perfected if the right institutions can be put in place and there's centralized power, (they also believe in eugenics....so did Hitler) the founders knew we were flawed, if they thought we were perfect we wouldn't need government. Progressives want an intellectual elite to rule the country because they think everyone is too dumb to choose for themselves. If you dont believe me go read woodrow wilson's writings.

[TheNavigateur]

No, there is centralised and de-centralised progressivism.

[reidmustang88]

nonetheless, it seeks to destroy the values are country was built on....i don't care what you call it

[demon515]

Well apparently your values don't include correct grammar.

[reidmustang88]

wow, seriously...that's really funny. Oh boy you got me there; maybe it's because this is a video post and not my thesis paper for college, therefore, I don't give a shit if my grammar is correct

[TheNavigateur]

No, I mean there is a big difference between centralised and de-centralised progressivism. De-centralised progressivism uses public discussion and unanimous consensus to derive public policy, as opposed to centralised, which has a narrower and narrower membership of discussion the more centralised you go. Why do you say "destroy" the values instead of "progressing" the values? Having a discussion about improving the system cannot "destroy" the right values.

[newsradiohead]

I always thought Beck was trying to roll back the Civil Rights movement, but I'm shocked to know that he considers the Progressive Era too radical for him. I guess that means that if you support things like Womens' Suffrage and the Food and Drug Administration (you know, the people who make sure your food isn't made of rat feces) you must be a fascist at heart.

[Thornfox]

I'll echo WatermelonRat here and say that Beck and people like him really have no understanding of what fascism is. It's actually downright insulting to the victims of fascism to compare the modern US to Nazi Germany. I'll change my mind when people are being beaten or executed for being with the wrong party or religion.

[cnin242]

The Holocaust will come, Obama is only in one year. Give him some more time...maybe when he hands Israel over to the Muslims, then you will get your wish?

[Thornfox]

You honestly believe that? Really?

Try telling that to a real Holocaust survivor. I mean that. Go find one. I'm sure they'll love to hear your opinion.

[cnin242]

@Thornfox My neighbor and he agrees with me

[Thornfox]

So what, exactly, does he think will turn a Christian black man - himself a part of a racial minority - into the next Hitler? Because I haven't noticed any camps for dissidents showing up lately, unless you count Bush's Guantanamo Bay.

[cnin242]

Obama is a Marxist...not a Christian

[Thornfox]

All the evidence points to Obama being a Christian, and on top of that, Marxists can't be fascists by definition. German, Spanish and Italian fascists were bitterly opposed to communism, if you've seen any of their propaganda.

Also, if Obama is a Marxist, what does that make the leaders of social democracies like Canada and Sweden?

[cartmanfan0316]

@Thornfox, yeah I would agree with you that you can't call a fascist a marxist, but Obama has called for fascist like legislation & he does have marxist undertones. Now, I don't know if you agree with me or not, but if what I'm saying is true, how would you define a politician who uses fascism & marxism to meet his goals?

[Thornfox]

You'll have to point me to this fascist-like legislation and these Marxist undertones. A public healthcare option isn't Marxist, let's get that out of the way.

[poochychester]

@cnin242 Marxism is a political philosophy not a religion

[SmashTheRight38]

@cnin242 , damn are you and idiot. Its one things to be so idiotic to call Obama an marxist but then you title you title this video 'Glenn Beck Exposes the Progressive Movement fascist agenda". So do you think Obama is both a marxist and a fascist?

[archange26]

@cnin242 I'm Black American and it puzzling that any sincere christian can call Obama a Christian... He is not by no strectch..

[cnin242]

Marxist lite. Are you done? I am too busy for this

[Shnufkin]

Do you even know what Marxism is?

Wake up, Obama is a social democrat, not a Marxist

Jesus, if Americans could stop listening to demagogues and start thinking independently the world would be so much better off. Democracy does not work when people have no knowledge of the issues in need of attention. Populists like Beck and Limbaugh are distractions, purveyors of ignorance and anti-intellectual bullshit and, ultimately, enemies of democracy.

Watch the BBC. Get informed and support democracy.

[WatermelonRat]

People seem to have a poor idea of what fascism actually is. According to Dr. Lawrence Britt, the main signs of fascism are: Ultra-nationalism and belittlement of those insufficiently patriotic Disdain of Human Rights Scapegoats Sexism Controlled Media Obsession with National security Religion & Government intertwined Corporate power protected while labor power is suppressed Disdain for intellectuals & the arts Obsession with crime & punishment Secret Police Supremacy of military

[cnin242]

Give it some time genius, all that is on the way

[WatermelonRat]

@cnin242

You'll be saying that every minute of his administration, right up to the end. Then, when another president you disagree with is elected, you'll make the same accusations against them.

I'd like to believe that after Obama's term is over and there's no fascist/socialist/other scareword dictatorship, you'd feel a bit of embarassment or shame, but I doubt that.

[lordhighexecutioner]

The progressive side of fascism is the idea that new technologies greater efficiencies and so on shall serve the state... the state shall serve this "progress" at the same time, and all this serves a new traditionalism, a new society that glorifies God and Country and Tribe and Empire... The end is conservative, traditional, reactionary and imperialistic, the means is progressive.

Again, the neocons best embody this tendency, more so than these neo-Progressives.

[lordhighexecutioner]

That's not to say that there's no evil in Progressivism. The very word suggests that what they do is progress and others are in the way of this. TR happened to be horribly racist and to him it was "progress" to sweep away the "savages". Likewise, many support Israel and its more 'progressive' society and say that they were right to sweep away the more traditionally-based Palestinian society there in 1948...

Still, fascism has two components - one progressive, one conservative...

[lordhighexecutioner]

One of the undercurrents of the recent crisis is this suggestion that blacks brought down the financial system because of their collective delusion that they can own homes and businesses, and this conspiracy theory claims that the government forced banks to lend to these people when banks didn't want to do this, and they were the bad loans that poisoned the system. There's this idea that blacks are good for serving and renting and can't run anything to save their lives.

[lordhighexecutioner]

Actually, groups like ACORN are geared to promote self-help and self-sufficiency in disadvantaged, and in particular, black and other minority neighbourhoods. If anything, ACORN promotes the values conservatives say they promote. They do not want black people to be on welfare. They help people start up businesses and buy homes in order to join the "ownership society" that conservatives have been speaking of incessantly.

[lordhighexecutioner]

The neoconservative movement is the real fascist movement. Consider. The neoconservatives originally were Trotskyist Communists. Then, like Mussolini, they decided that their statist impulses shall from now on service the tribe, God and Country, the expansion of Empire and so forth. I see that Beck had someone on who spoke of Progressives plotting to exploit crises; what of the "catalysing and cataclysmic event... like Pearl Harbor" that was necessary for "Rebuilding America's Defenses".

[lordhighexecutioner]

Theodore Roosevelt, Progressive Fascist in Chief... Beck, why don't you volunteer to blow his face off of Mount Rushmore....

This talk about how Progressives say "things change, truths change". When the Constitution was promulgated, there was slavery and there were no corporations. Perhaps Beck can declare his desire to return to this.

[cnin242]

You have a good point, but the Progressive movement is a fascist movement. They use race and sexism all of the time to promote their agenda. They want to keep black people on welfare to justify the need for their socialist agenda.

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

The fact that you took it racial, that shows just how DUMB you are. Not Glen Beck Dumb but not that far off. haha

[444ak]

So this is one of the spokesman of the "american conservativs"? Tells a lot about the importances of their Ideas these days.....

[lesgregor]

presidents and politicians like Woodrow Wilson murdered and imprisoned unionists and socialists all over the country. They were entirely anti-left!in that sense they were authoritarian! But the real progressives that participated in the mass movements for democracy early last century are the very anti-thesis of fascism!

[nrunde]

Did Beck graduate high school? These tools are down right retarded.

[imanoldfatman]

RJ Pestritto is my professor and he is a brilliant man. I resent your flagrant and simple-minded insults.

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

lol Progressives got rights for women and minorities. The founding fathers wanted progression.

Beck and his like are deservingly on the losing side. :D

[greengringo2003]

When can we find courage, wisdom, tact and concern for our grandkids in a media interviewer? Is that too much to ask?

Or is the brown Hitler with a Halo our future?? Do you have your ammo yet, the metallic kind? Jefferson, that rightwing nutcase, said the Tree of Liberty must be at times nourished with the blood of Tyrants and Patriots. Which are you (no, not you Liberal / Progressive / collectivists, or whatever you're calling yourselves today), I mean someone who is a patriotic American.

[urb0123]

Here is the problem greengringo. Many of us see the tyrants for what they are. I was blind until very recently, but now I look back and realize liberty was gone before I was even born. There are too many who still don't see what our government is really up to. Until enough people can see the light, we look like anarchists. Also, if there is a way to recover the republic peacefully, we won't have to set the precedent of using force to reclaim it.

I'm ready, but still hoping for a peaceful end.

[inconformant]

hope they're not mixing up what obama and crew are doing w/ the liberatarians.

[Mrcharliebobo]

What are you worried about Cocksuk83??

[jrmsher33]

Glenn Beck should be mopping the floors in some hallway. He has no idea what he's talking about he is a political commentator who doesn't even know the slightest about political definitions. Fascism isn't an economic enterprise it is a social collective group think usually with social and capitalist economic systems. You just can't run around and say because Hitler was a vegetarian, vegetarianism is fascist. I can't believe this stupid prop using, crying, ignorant bastard is on TV.

[krr1972]

Man, you want to talk about how ignorent Beck is you need to look at your own statement. Fascism is a economic enterprise think of it this way what is the easiest way to control somebody? through their money. Fascism is just another form of socialisism. and what is the defenition of a socialist? its a communist in slow motion. when you the state goes in and takes banks over and start to decide what intrest rates on the loans will be and who gets them that fasciam.

krr1972

[jrmsher33]

See, I went to college and studied political science, you obviously did not. Fascism is a statist, modernist, anti-international movement first and foremost. Fascism isn't just another form of socialism you idiot. That's like saying a vehicle is just another form of a Toyota.

Marx's socialism (which is referred to all to often by idiots) is not the Fascist economy.

I don't have time to teach uneducated people who don't want to learn anything except useless Glenn Beck banter

[krr1972]

Hey I'm glad you don't have time to teach because you might do some real damage. I'm sorry if you have to pull out the text book to give a definition, you obviously just took the course. Let me give you some history Fascism was founded in the wake of wwI by our favorite brown shirt Benito Musselini, who was at that point the head of the Italian Socialist Party any of this sounding familiar when he left Lenin lamented about losing a good man, Musselini often described himself a socailist at heart

[s14sher]

Don't try to confuse these people with facts. They would rather let themselves be worked into a frenzy. It shows how easy they are to control. Remember how Bill Clinton was going to let the UN take over, black helicoptors, secret stickers on the backs of road signs, he was going to declare martial law and imprison everyone...Sound familiar? Please, give me a fucking break.

[urb0123]

You rehash conspiracy theories and call them facts? Clinton may have tried, but Bush had some success in declaring a form of martial law. You are still confused, you still think the uprising is against only Democrats. Anyone with their eyes open can see it doesn't matter what party they are part of, they are cut from the same cloth. Politicians do whatever perpetuates their power and wealth.

[urb0123]

OOOO, you went to COLLEGE?! All bow to the college graduate. You were indoctrinated, not educated. There's a big difference.

Wouldn't taking control of banks and GM be considered fascism? Wouldn't wealth redistribution be socialism? So yes, there are elements of both fascism and socialism afoot in our government, and they've been there quite awhile.

Bottom line, you can't steal from the productive and give to the lazy/failures and call it fair.

[falconerx]

We are F-ed!

[GiovannaNYC]

The "change" is a Coup d'état.
