Thank God we will finally be rid of this fascist scum of the earth.

Thank God this nation will finally be rid of this garbage career politician.

It's about time we get rid of this commie peice of shit!

and you argue about the now... sounds like you're looking for a magic wand... Let's look to the right shall we. More tax-cuts, bailouts, and deregulation you say? That'll teach those fascists a thing or two!

[Ixions42]

my writings were arguments that shovel ready jobs helped turn unemployment around during the depression and gave us the infrastructure we have today. The rest of my ranting was about the fascism we have in this country today. You've also seemed to skip over my point about the current state of the right convieniently. For someone who's for clean energy your last statements sure seems like you'd be intent on waiting for ford and big oil to get around to it. my friends would argue the profit...

@Ixions42 I don't "presume" anything, your positions or "core beliefs" are in writing. By the way, those "clean energy" jobs you are glad the government is "pushing for" so far cost the taxpayer 135,000 dollars for each job, and have produced zero profit and zero clean energy. Meanwhile, millions remain unemployed and on food stamps.

I think this adminstration is doing a lot of good. Especially in education reform and pushing for cleaner energy, and much needed overhaul of infrastructure. The right seems to be re-organizing itself for the better too and throwing out a lot of the bad eggs. You presume to know my core beliefs simply because I voted left this last election but I think you've been a little brainwashed by corporate mass media too. You can't possibly think that people are as polarized as fox or msn say?

[Ixions42]

I agree with you whole heartedly that fascism is the root of the blame. I don't perscribe to profit motives being evil, but the fascism we see in many places today is. Everyone being able to get some kind of health-care and not worry about it being cancelled or cut off by pre-existing conditions is just the right thing to do. All this talk of the nation falling into socialism because of it, is fear mongering propaganda coming from the fascist run right.

@Ixions42 Your arguments are still fundamentally flawed. You somehow assume that all the entities you have listed are somehow better because they are under heavy government influence/control. You are deceived by Marxist rhetoric that profit motives are evil and put "profits over people". It is the collusion of government and big business, behind the scenes (fascism), that has created the financial crisis. Like a good liberal, you trust government officials over the people that make America great

not everything should be hooked up to profits.
