Claiming we are no better then the Nazi's is ignorant to the extreme. But then any lie is acceptable to the Liberal. By the way Blu? Why didn't Obama and the Democrats stop these supposed immoral wars?

Another view of war that's still relevant:

"The choice facing the world is 'stark and dreadful and inescapable: shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war?'"

Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell quoted in Noam Chomsky's Failed States copyright 2006 P.3

Ya Blu posted that for no reason right? Been here long enough to know what he is up too, maybe you should engage your brain?

He posted it to make a point, a valid one.

But no where did he say "Americans are no better than Nazis". If you have to make things up in order to argue a point, you might want to work on that a little.

If there was no profit in war after the first innocent life was taken, would war disappear like chattel slavery?

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

"It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope.

"It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people.

"Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about.

"It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.

"Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

"In the World War a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War.

"That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows."

No spoils; No war?

What Goering said is applicable only a Nationalist-socialist or fascist society where the government controls information. Why do you think thousand year old civilizations like Egypt still live in dirt poverty? Freedom you fools. The USA is the greatest Country the world has ever known because of freedom. The first item in the Bill of Rights gives freedom to the press. The Constitution allows us to change presidents every four years and congressmen every two years and shorter than that if necessary. Anyone who would would take a statement like this from a Nazi and try to apply it to the United States is an ignorant fool.

what do your logical fallacies have to do with anything? and if you want to ask how democrats think on things, why don't you ask them (please start your own thread about it though)

no one was applying it to the US, but your post is full of nonsense, there is no free press in this country, all the major outlets are all owned by corporations that won't allow anything bad to be said about their interests. Bush's WH fed FOX talking points and MSNBC has a collective breakdown if anyone doesn't pray to Obama.

The point was that it is very easy for Political Leaders to manipulate the masses by lies, deception and fear.

Apparently not.

Ok, since Blu has said this has nothing to do with our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe he would like to explain what it IS about? Why out of the "blu" he posted this when he had no point?

 

[georgephillip]

Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Korea?

Which of the above wars did NOT involve lies?

Which of the countries posed a threat to the US homeland?

Would any of the wars been waged if there had been NO corporate profits generated?

ALL governments lie.

War is the biggest lie of ALL.

The "point" seems pretty obvious. People can be led to do things by associating opposition with things that are reviled.

In this case, wanting peace in the face of war mongering leadership brings a challenge to one's patriotism. This happens in the ramp up to war in every case, every time.

It happened in 2002 and 3 around here.

However, it happens in all led by the nose issues. In the health care debate, the Democrat promise was healthcare for everyone and the FACT that this care would cost through the nose for those who cannot afford it was somehow glossed over.

If you were against the Obamacare swindle, you were against healthcare for poor children.

Same lie. Different topic.
