Liberal Fascism on Display

[Dad2three]

Hmmmmm......Daddy3IQ seems to have run and hidden when asked if he voted for Democrats who agreed with President Bush on Iraq....

Let's apply a bit of that element that Liberals have in such short supply...... logic.


1. If Daddy3IQ hadn't voted for the Democrats, all of whom supported the same claims that Bush made about Iraq...he would have gleefully stated so.

2. Now...here Daddy3IQ is posting "THEY invade Iraq, ON A CASE BUILT ON FALSE PREMISES, DISTORTIONS AND LIES??"

Gads....he must have voted based on the same 'FALSE PREMISES, DISTORTIONS AND LIES."

3. So, Daddy3IQ, you voted for, supported folks with the very same positions.




Here's the Bard laughing at you: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks'

Bush misused Iraq intelligence - US Senate report

U.S. President George W. Bush and his top policymakers misstated Saddam Hussein's links to terrorism and ignored doubts among intelligence agencies about Iraq's arms programs as they made a case for war, the Senate intelligence committee reported on Thursday.

The report shows an administration that "led the nation to war on false premises,"


....PUBLIC CAMPAIGN

The long-delayed Senate study supported previous reports and findings that the administration's main cases for war -- that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was spreading them to terrorists -- were inaccurate and deeply flawed.

"The president and his advisors undertook a relentless public campaign in the aftermath of the (Sept. 11) attacks to use the war against al Qaeda as a justification for overthrowing Saddam Hussein,"

You can run but you can't hide.


You voted for folks with exactly the same beliefs about Iraq.

Beliefs? lol


Weird 60% of Dems in Congress voted against Dubya's war of choice. How about the GOPers YOU vote for?

Republicans in government trying to shut down Planned Parenthood.

Nope, you know thats a lie.

Republicans are trying to cut off their public funding.

A huge, if not majority of PP's funding comes from Federal & State funding, so cutting that off will drastically reduce it's services & clinics will need to close.... effectively rendering it un functional. So, trying to 'shut them down' or 'cutting off their funding' is a distinction that makes no difference.

If they're doing things with taxpayers money against taxpayers interest, they should be cut off.

Providing services to women is one thing, selling out fetal body parts is another.

And, where is the oversight? If they're taking government money, they should be accountable to government.
Take example with Fannie and Freddy, where left refused to allow oversight. There was nothing wrong with them. Just like there is not hing wrong with Planned Parenthood.

You think lefties are protecting Planned Parenthood because they care for women more then righties? Of they care for Fannie and Freddie because they want more people to have houses? Nah, they care for them because that where they are controlling the narrative. Beside being their cash cows.

FactCheck.org Debunks Deceptively Edited Video Smearing Planned Parenthood


FactCheck.org debunked a deceptively edited video from the Center for Medical Progress smearing Planned Parenthood by falsely claiming the organization has been "selling" fetal tissue donations, pointing out that the unedited video shows the clinics just "want to cover their costs, not make money" when making donations.



FactCheck.org further demolished the video's credibility in a July 21 post explaining that, despite Center for Medical Progress' claim, the video does not show Planned Parenthood violated any laws. Noting that the official in the video "repeatedly say its clinics want to cover their costs, not make money, when donating fetal tissue from abortions for scientific research," the fact-check quotes "biorepository" experts explaining that the fees discussed in the video would not generate "a profit at that price" -- it'd just offset some of the costs associated with the process:

PoliticalChic: Your argument is based on fallacious reasoning. There are numerous websites that discuss fallacies. Perhaps you should review a few. But thank you again for the entertainment value you provide.

Correct.

Two fallacies in particular:

Straw man fallacy – a lie is contrived misrepresenting the opponents' position, then that 'position' (straw man) is attacked, in this case 'liberals' are 'fascists.'

Composition fallacy – a false premise based on the lie that the few are 'representative' of the whole. That a single member of a class of persons might say or believe something doesn't mean the entire class of persons believe the same thing.

Indeed, these are the OP's favorite fallacies – all of her threads fail as the result of one or both.

Yesterday, a Liberal fascist actually as much as admitted his desire to restrict speech and thought of those who disagree with Leftist orthodoxy, and posted this:
"Think stupid, talk stupid, and we bury you, for your own good."
That astounding admission made this OP necessary.......clearly, my work here isn't complete.


Let's begin:

1. There is the term "Islamofascism" applied to the radical Muslims who behave in the manner that we have seen Communists and Nazis act....they murder their own people.
For said groups, slaughter is justified, according to all of these movements, if individuals under their control do not act, think, and speak exactly as the predator demands....or else they 'bury you for your own good.'

The fact is, Islamofascists have probably slaughtered more Muslims than non-Muslims, just as Stalin slaughtered more Russians than he did Germans.


a. "Over the years, Sunni–Shia relations have been marked by both cooperation and conflict. Sectarian violence persists to this day from Pakistan to Yemen and is a major element of friction throughout the Middle East.[5][6] Tensions between communities have intensified during power struggles, such as the Bahraini uprising, the Iraq War, and most recently the Syrian Civil War[7][8][9]and in the formation of the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and its advancement on Syria and Northern Iraq.

On the Shia side, in early February 2006 militia-dominated government death squads were reportedly "tortur[ing] to death or summarily" executing "hundreds" of Sunnis "every month in Baghdad alone," many arrested at random.[115][116][117]According to the British television Channel 4, from 2005 through early 2006, commandos of the Ministry of the Interior which is controlled by theBadr Organization, and

...who are almost exclusively Shia Muslims — have been implicated in rounding up and killing thousands of ordinary Sunni civilians.[118]

The violence shows little sign of getting opposite sides to back down." Shia–Sunni relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Same faith, same Q'ran, same culture....but they murder any who don't toe the exact same line.



This is a very important characteristic of this certain mentality: zero tolerance for any deviation or dissent.
"Think stupid, talk stupid, and we bury you, for your own good."


And, it is one more of the consubstantial features shared by all of the following:
Communists, Nazis, Islamofascists, Liberals and Progressives....none of these totalist movements brook any deviation, nor less than 100% agreement.



2. In our society, the same level of intolerance, but not yet to the same level of eradication, is found in Liberalism.
Let me introduce Brandon Ambrosino...
Brandon is a gay journalist, and works for a number of Liberal publications and blogs.

'Conservatives good, liberals bad' believe it or not is a term I coined years ago to describe the Rush Limbaugh rule of doing rightwing talk radio.

This same Rush Limbaugh? ( who I like to refer to as 'oxyboy') was quoted as saying:

"There’s nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods, which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

But was arrested for procuring OxyContin illegally- a controlled prescription drug aka 'hillbilly heroin' & spent ZERO time being 'sent up?

The same Rush Limbaugh who called soldiers that spoke out against the Iraq war as 'phony soldiers' but obtained a draft deferment because of a pimple on his fat ass? THAT Rush Limbaugh?

 

[playtime]

Which 'ideology' holds more truth under theses definitions as ... 'Liberal' or 'Conservative'?

14 POINTS OF FASCISM

1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism

From the prominent displays of flags and bunting to the ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism. It was usually coupled with a suspicion of things foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights

The regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause

The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism

Ruling elites always identified closely with the military and the industrial infrastructure that supported it. A disproportionate share of national resources was allocated to the military, even when domestic needs were acute. The military was seen as an expression of nationalism, and was used whenever possible to assert national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling elite.

5. Rampant sexism

Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.

6. A controlled mass media

Under some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.

7. Obsession with national security

Inevitably, a national security apparatus was under direct control of the ruling elite. It was usually an instrument of oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints. Its actions were justified under the rubric of protecting “national security,” and questioning its activities was portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.

8. Religion and ruling elite tied together

Unlike communist regimes, the fascist and protofascist regimes were never proclaimed as godless by their opponents. In fact, most of the regimes attached themselves to the predominant religion of the country and chose to portray themselves as militant defenders of that religion. The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior was incompatible with the precepts of the religion was generally swept under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents of the “godless.” A perception was manufactured that opposing the power elite was tantamount to an attack on religion.

9. Power of corporations protected

Although the personal life of ordinary citizens was under strict control, the ability of large corporations to operate in relative freedom was not compromised. The ruling elite saw the corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military production (in developed states), but also as an additional means of social control. Members of the economic elite were often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of “have-not” citizens.

10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated

Since organized labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless. The poor formed an underclass, viewed with suspicion or outright contempt. Under some regimes, being poor was considered akin to a vice.

11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts

Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they had no right to exist.

12. Obsession with crime and punishment

Most of these regimes maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. The police were often glorified and had almost unchecked power, leading to rampant abuse. “Normal” and political crime were often merged into trumped-up criminal charges and sometimes used against political opponents of the regime. Fear, and hatred, of criminals or “traitors” was often promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.

13. Rampant cronyism and corruption

Those in business circles and close to the power elite often used their position to enrich themselves. This corruption worked both ways; the power elite would receive financial gifts and property from the economic elite, who in turn would gain the benefit of government favoritism. Members of the power elite were in a position to obtain vast wealth from other sources as well: for example, by stealing national resources. With the national security apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption was largely unconstrained and not well understood by the general population.

14. Fraudulent elections

Elections in the form of plebiscites or public opinion polls were usually bogus. When actual elections with candidates were held, they would usually be perverted by the power elite to get the desired result. Common methods included maintaining control of the election machinery, intimidating and disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.

NOTE: The above 14 Points was written in 2004 by Dr. Laurence Britt, a political scientist. Dr. Britt studied the fascist regimes of: Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile).

Same faith, same Q'ran, same culture....but they murder any who don't toe the exact same line.



This is a very important characteristic of this certain mentality: zero tolerance for any deviation or dissent.
"Think stupid, talk stupid, and we bury you, for your own good."


And, it is one more of the consubstantial features shared by all of the following:
Communists, Nazis, Islamofascists, Liberals and Progressives....none of these totalist movements brook any deviation, nor less than 100% agreement.

What could be wrong with Brandon, as far as the Left is concerned?
Simple: his view is a variation of the Left's.....so he must be excoriated, and punished....fired.

No deviation, nor less than 100% agreement, is allowed by the Liberal fascists.

Liberal Fascism is an Oxymoron.... ya moron.

No, actually it is a fact.

Name the liberals who want 100% government, whatever that means.

The Left has had nothing to say about the wholesale slaughter of Christians in the Middle East, except to cry and lecture people about how "That isnt Islam"


idiots and hypocrites

Another classic example of a composition fallacy: all Muslims are 'murderers.'

more classical left-wing crybaby PROJECTION

you are the very same people comparing the crimes of people who were Christians 150 YEARS AGO, EVEN OVER A THOUSAND YEARS AGO; to make a moral equivalency argument that Christians OF TODAY are no different than MUSLIMS OF TODAY

Yesterday, a Liberal fascist actually as much as admitted his desire to restrict speech and thought of those who disagree with Leftist orthodoxy, and posted this:
"Think stupid, talk stupid, and we bury you, for your own good."
That astounding admission made this OP necessary.......clearly, my work here isn't complete.


Let's begin:

1. There is the term "Islamofascism" applied to the radical Muslims who behave in the manner that we have seen Communists and Nazis act....they murder their own people.
For said groups, slaughter is justified, according to all of these movements, if individuals under their control do not act, think, and speak exactly as the predator demands....or else they 'bury you for your own good.'

The fact is, Islamofascists have probably slaughtered more Muslims than non-Muslims, just as Stalin slaughtered more Russians than he did Germans.
