Why aren't you a Democrat?

[g5000]

They were racist totalitarian, corporate, militarist fascists who glorified the teutonic bourgeois family. Read something.

Oh, I am very well informed on the Nazi mindset. Don't you worry about that. I can smell a Nazi from a mile away.

I possess the ability of independent thought.

It seems to me that the Nazi's were all over the map in their ideology, some of it right-wing nationalist, and some of it left-wing socialist. I can hear both today's liberals and conservatives in their 25 point program. I'll leave it to y'all to self-identify with their stated goals.

The Party Program of the NSDAP was proclaimed on the 24 February 1920 by Adolf Hitler at the first large Party gathering in Munich and since that day has remained unaltered. Within the national socialist philosophy is summarized in 25 points:

1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.

2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.

3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.

4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.

5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.

7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.

8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.

9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.

10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:

11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.

12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).

14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.

15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.

16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.

18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.

19. We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.

20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.

21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.

22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.

23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that: a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race: b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language: c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.

24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.

25. For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

Whenever a Nazi approaches, they always approach from the right. They never approach from the left.

This whole liberal Nazi meme is evidence that the extreme right has realized it is treading on Nazi territory with its heightened rheotoric of the past few years. And so in an attempt to misdirect from that, they are working hard to convince themselves they can't be Nazis. Thus, it is imperative Nazis be liberals.

The far right is going full batshit crazy. Just like the Nazis.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Why aren't you a Democrat?

....Especially, THIS year??!!!!

We're gonna have one HELLUVA.....
​

....Deja Vu Party!!!!​

When Democrats win, it is only because the right has gone batshit crazy.

"You RANG??!!!"​

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Ah, but Hitler was a vegetarian and loved dogs! A flaming liberal that liked to kill other liberals.

I must have really hit a nerve, not a single post trying to refute anything in my OP.

What's the point in refuting a Republican propaganda piece? You'll believe what you want to believe, as usual.

Republican propaganda piece?

I posted a Democratic Party video, put one link to a news story that was tangential to it, and explained why I am not a Democrat, I also pointed out that the same reasons apply to the Republicans. How is that Republican propaganda?

 

[Peach]

I am a Democrat, both my heart and brain are functional.

 

[Inthemiddle]

I'm not a Democrat because they are just as bad as Republicans.

 

[salem.hills]

Because Democrats are willing to do anything to have ideological change to a totally socialist or Communist society. As if that's good but that's what they aim for as fast n furious shows some demoncraps are willing to do anything to disarm you.

 

[WillowTree]

Because democrats are assholes.

 

[salem.hills]

In other words I'm not a democrap because I'm a capitalist.

 

[Avorysuds]

I am neither because both are corrupt... and generally, I loathe both parties almost equally... I tend to relate more to the GOP, but that does not mean I like the SOBs.

While you described my position I have to ask... Don't you near fully support Mitt Romney and plan on voting for him? Can you name another politician in US history through policy is closer to Obama than Mitt?

 

[TruthSeeker56]

I can't speak for anyone else, but it comes down to because the arguments in this video are absurd.

Mom, Dad.... I'm a Democrat.... - YouTube

1. If you want to really help the less fortunate why not work hard and then give money to them directly, like this guy did? Las Vegas families split $1 million gift from casino owner - News - ReviewJournal.com
2. If you don't want to pay high interest on your student loans don't take them out in the first place.
3. How does putting thousands of people out of work help? Does doing it in the name of education make it better? If doing bad things in the name of something good is acceptable why don't we start a holy war and go kill people?
4. Everyone in this country already has equal rights and equal opportunity under the law, what Democrats want is equal results in the name of fairness. See number 3 for my response to that idea.
5. People should be able to keep their homes even if they loose their jobs? What about all the people that earn their living off of building those homes, are we supposed to pretend that people not paying for a home doesn't negatively impact them?
6. "I believe in good affordable healthcare for everyone." So do I, which is why I think we should get the government out of the way, end the absurd practice of giving employers a tax benefit for insurance, and put that money in the hands of the people who actually use the insurance.

In other words, I am not a Democrat because I can think for myself.

By the way, the fact that I can think for myself also explains why I am not a Republican.

I flush Democrats down the toilet every morning, and sometimes in the evening (depending on what I had for dinner).

Then, after flushing the Dems, I wipe my Republican.

 

[FJO]

I am not a Democrat, because I vividly remember Jane Kirkpatrick's keynote speech in 1980. (Or was it another year??)

I am not a Democrat, because in all my volunteering since 1993 for Habitat for Humanity, the Democratic volunteers I met and worked with were about as rare as hen's teeth.

I am not a Democrat, because I would have no objection to school prayer.

I am not a Democrat, because I value human life in the womb. And even on Death Row, because I believe that even the worse criminal is capable of redemption.

I am not a Democrat, because my wife was proud to be American even before I was nominated for the Presidency.

I can't think in non sequiturs like that.

I'll never make a good Democrat.

Very interesting to watch a video where the kid who has accomplished literally nothing in his life supports systems of Government that *would* coddle him for the rest of his life. Interesting that child supports systems of Government that have to this day never worked and are responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths.

What would happen if a new energy were developed, clean energy that put the oil companies out of business… Where would all this magical revenue come from to pay for their programs? Where does he suggest we get the money to pay for any of his “big great” ideas? Ever single idea that the kid presented would push the US vastly more into debt than it already is and it’s not as if we are the only country having that problem. We already spend 1.5 Trillion or so a year in deficit spending, only 700 billion is on defense. Even if military spending were cut 300 billion our deficit would still be well over 1 trillion and that mainly pays for HC, SS and welfare… I has literally already failed but we need more?

I dont really agree. Dole snd McCain were moderatrs and got smoked. Reagan and Bush were more conservative and did well
