Socialism 5

  Tell the average American that Tony Blair is a self-proclaimed, proud and honest socialist and they'll laugh in your face. Tell the average American that US troops fought on the same side as the Russians in WWII and they'll call you an idiot and a liar. Tell an American that the Russians bore the brunt of the losses fighting the Nazis and they'll call you un-American and unpatriotic.

 Factual reality and access to real non-subjective propaganda-free information is only available to ONE SIDE of our false binary political divide. Our problem here is one of intentionally eroneous education and disinformation. The facts are quite alarming, a staggeringly large overwhelming majority of Americans couldn't tell you the differences between a socialist, a communist, a Marxist, a phrenologist, a fascist and a cryptofascist.

  If we learn and teach our children what fascists really are, what they really want and the tired old political tactics they always use to get it and we'll probably be able to save ourselves and get our country back on track.

  If we fail to learn this most important and most easily accessed of facts, we'll keep-on listening to endless empty speeches by an endless string of empty minds, in empty suits, who are stealth wannabe dictator cryptofascists - pretending to be populist-socialist republican democrats.

  Ask any citizen of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Chile, Ecuador, Guatamala, even Cuba or Mexico if they'd prefer another faux "democratically elected" puppet of the White House - over their newly elected socialist and liberal democratic governments. The Mexicans would have AT LEAST a very liberal Democratic form of government now too, if it weren't for Karl Rove's connivances with the Calderon campaign to deny Obrador his rightful presidency.

  Surprise, America! Some of the poorest citizens in the world  just four or five years ago - are now on their way up - rapidly - they now have totally free and immediate access to way better medical care than you could ever DREAM about being able to purchase for your children - or they for their children.

We used to have fedral budget surpluses as far as the eye could see and functional space program too.

Nice history lesson, but I think you are a wee bit off base with those particular claims. You correct though that the average American knows zip about Socialism and many assume a totalitarian government is always tied to it. Silly rabbits...

Perhaps he should post the review that he made under an alias for this subject. Every other word was mis-spelled. That is why we knew that rok100 wrote it!

Hey numbal ! I haven't read that post since I posted it last week, but generally, I don't like to make "claims", I try make statements of FACT. Facts are a lot like dinosaurs, in that right-wingers don't believe in them! To conservatives, the earth is not only NOT WARMING - it's still *mostly flat*! That's because SOME OF THEM SAY it is, EVERYTHING has to be "fair & balanced" with the "argues-with-scoreboards" crowd - they even teach their children that storks deliver babies, we liberals prefer to teach honest sex education. See? Facts vs Claims. There's no substantive difference to any of duh Bushinators. ='D Aaaanyways... How ya' been?

LOL@Genghis still chasing imaginary dopplegangers and using spell-check as a substitute for debating skills! (or the ability to accurately identify GOP talking-points and avoid believing in them!) Hey Genghis, do you know how Admiral Forrestal died? They've just released a new batch of declassified photos of the death scene. ...I'm not accusing you of anything, you understand, but don't leave town. =')
