Why?

[CrazedScotsman]

Why do so many in the US call the left Communists and the right Nazis?

Is it ignorance?

Is it stupidity?

Is it parroting what they've heard elsewhere?

Or, do they do it just to rile up the other side?

Critical thinking is a lot of work, it's easier to dwmagogue somebody.

Take a close look at the stated objective and goals of the Occupy movement, for example, and then look at whom in the political Left in the Nation supports it.

Freedom isn't free, and is always one generation away from extinction.

There are many reasons.

Some just like name calling to deflect.

Some people actually are communists and nazis.

 

[Si modo]

Nazi commies, all of ya!

I know we have National Socialist/Nazis and Communists in this country, but do people really believe Romney is a Nazi or that President Obama is a Communist?

They do it becuase they are told to do it to prevent them from seeing the real truth.

The left wants to take from the wealthy and give to the poor. The problem with that is the wealthy will one day run out of money and no one will work for a living. The wealthy will finally wonder why work if they take my money. I'll just stop working so hard as well.

As for Nazis, I don't know.

No, people don't believe Romney is a Nazi, lol, but Obama endorses socialistic views.

Romney is a corporatist just like Obama.
They think that whatever is good for coprorations is good for America.

I actually do believe he is a communist.

His parents were communists. His grandparents were communists. He had several communists mentors growing up. In his own books he said he gravitated to the marxists teachers and students. He wrote an entire book on the Dreams he recieved from his father. His father dreamed of a communist revolution. There are countless marxists and marxist admirers in the administration.

When it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck it's usually a duck.

A fair portion of what is good for corporations is good for America. Poor people don't create a lot of jobs.

That's not to say that corporations should be allowed to do whatever they want. A liitle bit of regulation in the right places is needed to prevent wrongdoing. What we have is a whole lot of regulation that drives up the cost of doing business and doesn't really prevent the things that it should be preventing.

actually Im told that corporations are the source of all evil. Except when its sole proprietorships, partnerships, or LLCs. Then they are.

Actually anything that promotes economic liberty is bad.
